[Ancient Rome] How to Divorce the Tyrant Nero

Marcus Barbatus is undoubtedly the biggest support for Octavia to get to the present.

Without the grandfather of the first official, Octavia couldn't imagine how she would face the counterattack of the Senate and Nero's capriciousness.

It is true that she has always maintained a superficially good relationship with Vipasian of the Flavius ​​family, and has the support of Galba in the military, but Octavia knows that the former may betray at any time, while the latter She is not much younger than Marcus Barbatus, so she still has to prepare early.

"My little Minerva, you are here at last."

When Octavia rushed to her grandfather's house, Marcus Barbatus on the hospital bed was no longer as energetic as before, he sat up with all his strength, and waved to Octavia: "come here."

Octavia glanced at the people in the room.

Apart from her grandmother and mother, Brittanicus had not been seen for a long time.

Since Messalina was sent to Little Dominia's house by Octavia, she has been forced to abstinence for several days, so she looks sleepy and not energetic at all.

Facing Octavia's gaze, Messalina subconsciously turned her head, that indifferent look made Brittany Kus feel extremely comfortable, and even a little eager to see Octavia's jokes.

However, these emotions will not affect other people's judgments on Octavia.

The legacy of Marcus Barbatus not only includes the cash and land of the Valerius family, but also includes the political resources he has spent decades in Roman politics.

Whether it was Brittany Kus, or Vepasian or Seneca, who was about to succeed Marcus Barbatus, they were all waiting for the moment when the first official in Rome died.

It can be said that the only people present who did not want Marcus Barbatus to die were Little Dominia and Octavia.

Because of the need to take care of Marcus Barbatus, little Dominia has been haggard these days, and she also has Asclepius's token wrapped around her hands. She seems to be praying that her husband will get better .

"I'm here." Octavia sat beside Marcus Barbatus's bed, letting him clenched her right hand.

"I have handed over my will to Conesia. After my death, the chief virgin will announce my will, and my wife and granddaughter will preside over my funeral." Markus Barbatus Si seems to want to gain strength from Octavia, so in a short sentence, he constantly adjusted his breathing, and his throat rolled up and down many times.

"As for my daughter Messalina and grandson Brittanicus, they will receive part of my private property, but Valerius' family inheritance must still be inherited by Octavia-provided she Willing to adopt his second son to the Valerius and Lepidus families."

Marcus Barbatus tried his best to look at Messalina and Brittanicus, and found that they didn't care about his situation, and couldn't help feeling a sense of sadness.

Only when a person is about to die can he realize how many people care about him in this life.

Fortunately, Marcus Barbatus was not an overly emotional person, so the desolate mood only existed for a while before being replaced by consideration of the future.

"I know what you are all waiting for here, but my political resources are useless even if I give them to you." Marcus Barbatus noticed the sudden coldness of Brittanicus's face, so he said bluntly Said: "You are not yet old enough to participate in the election, and with your qualifications, even if you take these resources, they will be snatched away soon."

The words of Marcus Barbatus reminded Brittanicus of his short experience as an agent, and he couldn't find a reason to refute it for a while.

During the period of silence, Brittany Kus also became sober a lot, and gradually realized the gap between him and Octavia.

No wonder Octavia didn't care about his bad attitude.

Just as the lion doesn't care about the cat's pettiness, it is estimated that in the eyes of Octavia, Brittany Kus has never been qualified to talk with her at the same table.

"So you want to leave everything to Octavia, right?" Messalina, who had always treated Octavia coldly, finally said, "You really like this granddaughter who is like a poisonous snake."

Since the death of Kaius Silius, Messalina has re-examined her daughter, and even had an unavoidable palpitation towards Octavia.

Before, she could use the filter of maternal love to comfort herself, but now, she can no longer ignore the horror of Octavia, and even suspects that if she gets in Octavia's way one day, she will be like Kaius Like Sirius, he died for no apparent reason.

Facing Messalina's bad attitude, the little Dominia who was closest to her secretly pinched her daughter's tiger's mouth, signaling her not to go too far.

Marcus Barbatus didn't care about Messalina's thoughts, because he had long been disappointed in this daughter.If it wasn't for Messalina being Octavia's mother and the only child of him and little Dominia, Marcus Barbatus would have secretly executed her long ago, and still allowed her to indulge until now.

"It's not the poisonous snake that's scary at all, but you, or your friend is not a poisonous snake." Marcus Barbatus asked Octavia to pour him a glass of water, and after moistening his throat, he recovered Work harder.

"Put away your stupid hostility. If Octavia and I were not there to support you, do you think you could have survived to this day?" Marcus Barbatus was about to die. At the time, she didn’t tell Mesalina about the deep love between father and daughter. That merciless gesture made Messalina realize where Octavia’s coldness came from: “If after I die, If you dare to interfere with Octavia, neither Little Dominia nor my old friend will help you out."

"Are you threatening me?" Messalina might be able to put on airs in front of Octavia, but she was short of breath when she met Marcus Barbatus, and even subconsciously looked at Xiao Dominia.

The latter dare not respond to her only daughter, because she has acquiesced to her husband's approach.

That is to entrust the future of both families to Octavia.

Marcus Barbatus watched Messalina's gaffe coldly. After looking at his daughter, he forced the latter to sit back in his seat: "Listen, Messalina. I As your father, I think I never owe you anything. Whether you hate me, or little Dominia or Octavia, we don't need to do it for you, or Brittanicus's wayward behavior, Everything to Valerius or the Lepidus family."

"Even what I said went too far, whether it is you or Brittanicus, they will depend on Octavia to live in the future." Marcus Barbatus said with a burst of blood: "As long as Octavia If you don't fall, you will all have a good life."

"If you interfere with Octavia, then both the Lepidus family and the Valerius family will help Octavia get rid of you."

"Because your existence is not enough to be more important than the continuation of the family."
