[Ancient Rome] How to Divorce the Tyrant Nero

Octavia and Scylla looked at each other for a while, and said a little puzzled: "Does it mean that I have to go see him because he's waiting for me?"

Scylla was unable to refute Octavia's words for a while, but she always felt that Octavia's refusal to see Doryphorus might cause even greater commotion, so she confirmed it again: "You really don't Are you going to see him? I see that the child is not generally attached to you. "

"What he is obsessed with is not me, but the power I represent." Octavia said as always soberly: "Just like you like to overwhelm some guests who are masochistic, Dory Fluorus enjoys that kind of The feeling of being underfoot, especially when the other person has a higher social status than him."

Scylla always felt that Octavia's words were a bit strange, but he couldn't find anything to refute: "Then does he want to trample you under his feet?"

"Of course." Octavia understands Doryphrus' ambition very well, which is also an important reason why she will promote him: "Doryphrus is a little smart, knowing that Nero is just a shell emperor. It's just for the current In terms of the current political environment, an empty shell emperor is in the interests of the vast majority of people. He wants to humiliate me through Nero, or in other words, he has no other way to negotiate with me other than Nero."

"So I can't let him come and go as soon as he is called." Octavia didn't pay attention to Dory Fluorus. After all, Dory Fluorus is still a slave of the Claudius family in name : "It's too bad to talk to him now, and what's at your fingertips won't be cherished."

"That's true. After all, you're not as cheap as Nero." Scylla now believes more and more in the rumor that Nero is Caligula's illegitimate son. To this extent, on the contrary, Caligula is not taboo about meat and vegetables, making it hard not to associate him with Nero.

Octavia didn't think that her refusal could stop Dory Fluorus from fantasizing, so she waited for the other party to come to her.

However, Octavia still underestimated Dory Flux's ability.

When the Thracian boy, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, came to her door, Octavia was about to inspect the bank she had chosen, but was abruptly interrupted by Dory Flux.

"I thought Victor in Rome wasn't trying to put on a show." Octavia didn't know where Doryphrus got the courage to stand in her way.But out of a cautious attitude, she didn't take it down immediately: "I've been in the army for a long time, and I feel that the air in Rome is smelly, so I can get rid of my ruffian attitude, can't I?"

Dory Fluorus sat lazily in front of Octavia, and did not answer the hostess's words immediately, but picked up an apple and took a bite, not caring about the sweet and greasy juice in his hand: "I am now Not a slave anymore."

Octavia subconsciously sat up straight, and said seriously, "I didn't release you."

"But your husband freed me." Dory Fluorus sneered and said, "As the emperor of Rome, he has the right to free any slave, otherwise you think I played with that stupid boy for so long, yes for what?"

Dory Fluorus felt that he never traded at a loss.

Although his ultimate goal of getting close to Nero is for Octavia, it doesn't mean that he won't collect some negligible interest during the dedication period.

Octavia carefully looked at the Thracian boy in front of her. She hadn't seen him for a few years, but he had grown taller and stronger. He had completely lost the childishness of a teenager, and turned into a handsome young man that caught everyone's eyes.

Whether it's the brown skin, the muscles that have been exercised, or the tattoos on the body, they all reveal a wild and conquering temptation.

It's no wonder that Nero fell in love with Dory Flux, because compared with him, neither Sporus nor the boy Nero had favored had the aura that could overwhelm Nero.

But Octavia didn't care about Dory Fluorus's attractive appearance, because in her eyes, this man had already been labeled as "troublesome", "difficult to control", and "probably a double plug".

If it was in the 21st century, Octavia might have a relationship with the other party. After all, there is no conflict of interest, and with advanced technology, any problems can be checked clearly.However, in ancient Rome, Octavia had only one thought in her mind - "keep Doryphrus away from her".

"Nero probably wouldn't think of releasing you." Octavia calculated the gains and losses in her mind, while looking for clues from Doryphrus' reply and interpersonal communication: "I know my husband very well, he He is a person without empathy, so he will not consider this level for you at all."

Dory Fluorus raised his eyebrows, he couldn't believe that Octavia didn't care about him at all when she was in such a field.

But this was what Dory Fluorus liked best about Octavia.

Compared with sex and beauty that will get boring.

Wealth and power are the biggest reliance on Juno's invincibility.

"Why don't you believe that your husband will fall in love with me, so you can do this for me?" Doriphorus deliberately provoked dissension: "Those Roman lords will not live with a woman. House Davia, you are the most powerful woman I have ever seen, but no normal man would like a strong woman."

"So you're just a little freed slave, and you'll never be a great man." Octavia was obviously a head shorter than Dory Fluorus, but it made Dory Fluorus feel like he was taken by Octavian. Ya's feeling of contempt: "Because great men don't waste too much time on useless women. They don't believe that they can control everything, so they have to use marriage and blood relationship to ensure the stability of family rule."

"That's the foundation of this dynasty."

Octavia leaned against the back of the chair, making Dory Fluorus feel a kind of lazy disdain.

It's as infuriating as ever.

"So Doryphrus, would you like to make a bet with me?" Octavia recalled Nero's recent performance and the question of why Doryphrous returned to Rome early, and decided to provoke her intentionally. This ex-slave.

It happened that Dory Flux also wanted to see what tricks Octavia would play, so he asked with great interest, "What do you want to bet?"

"Just bet on whether Nero will cut off your head for me." Octavia's fingers slid across her throat, making a gesture of cutting her throat: "You can say exactly what I said today Tell Nero that you can continue to associate with Nero as you like. But Doryphrus, I won't give you too much room for indulgence, so you have to make good use of the little time left."

Doryphrus did not remember how he left the palace on the Palatine Hill, but what is certain is that he left in a bad mood.

Octavia is also in a bad mood, because she has already guessed something from Doryphrus' abnormal signs, and knows that she has fallen into a dangerous snake's nest.

"Elius, tell Scylla to ask her to check who are the governors who have returned recently?" It is definitely not Octavia's style to sit and wait for death. If there is no favorable political sanction, she will Just suppress the other party from the point of view of faith: "Also, arrange a meeting between me and Conesia. If there is a coup in Rome, you can take my token to Lord Galba for help."

Octavia always felt that behind Nero's escape from control was a large-scale conspiracy against her.

What's more unfortunate is that Octavia's greatest protector, Marcus Barbatus, is critically ill, so she wants to strengthen her political influence before her grandfather dies.
