[Ancient Rome] How to Divorce the Tyrant Nero

When Queen Boudica met Octavia, she realized that she was much younger and more beautiful than she thought.

She had always thought that Nero would divorce Octavia because the other party was not beautiful enough, or because he was very unhappy because of being forced by his wife.

After all, from Tiberius to Claudius, these emperors have one thing in common, that is, they are lustful, and they also like to raise children.

Queen Boudica had heard of the terrible values ​​of ancient Rome, and understood that these people were hooligans who didn't know what to make of big news, so she was very curious about Claudius' daughter.

Perhaps it was because of the other party's same-sex identity, or Queen Boudica's willingness to show respect for Octavia's courage to come alone.

In short, there was no unexpected and terrible incident in the meeting between the two, but it was peaceful and unbelievably peaceful.

"I thought the Romans were unreasonable barbarians." Queen Boudica was much taller and stronger than Octavia, with long hair like flames, and freckles and sunburn on her face showed that she was not relying on other people's weak woman.

Octavia specially prepared some snacks for Queen Boudica, and the latter began to eat and drink unceremoniously.

The Celtic Queen felt exhausted from these months of fighting, and the food and treatment in the army would not be very good, and sometimes it was a kind of happiness to be able to eat tree bark.

"Aren't you afraid that I'll poison you?" Octavia said in surprise, "I'm the Roman you once fought against!"

Queen Boudica took a moment to glance at Octavia, and said with a sneer, "You're not an idiot, so you won't kill me."

"Besides, it's not in the interests of the Romans to send a big man like you just to poison me." After all, Queen Boudica seemed to want to prove that she was not an empty-headed warrior, and she deliberately revealed to Octavia What she knows about Rome: "I've heard your story, so I understand how important you are to Rome."

"Since this is the case, our chat will be much simpler." Octavia didn't want Queen Boudica to underestimate Rome too much, which would give her the chance to make Britain independent: "No matter what the truth is, You all have to take a step back."

"Why?" Queen Boudica's smile narrowed slightly, her whole person looked a little ghastly: "After you did something like that, you still want us to take a step back."

"Facing Queen Boudica's turn of events, Octavia remained as calm as ever: "Because we are better than you, for the sake of Rome's reputation, you must be the ones who regress. "

"Even if you are dissatisfied and want to curse in front of me, you must represent the Celtics and take a step back in this rebellion." Octavia's attitude was so tough that Boudica even wanted to throw off his face. table.

The red-haired Celtic queen was panting heavily, trying to calm down her emotions.

She stared firmly into Octavia's eyes, like a defeated she-wolf staring at the hunter's muzzle, whimpering unwillingly: "What exactly do you want?"

"What do I want to do? Don't you know very well?" Octavia lowered her eyelids, showing a very tired gesture: "Rome doesn't want to use force to suppress it, and there will be a large-scale rebellion. And you don't want Rome's Thirteen The Legion literally came and crushed the Celts and crucified you all."

"How do you know that we won't last long?" Although Queen Boudica knew it was true, she still said stubbornly: "Our offensive has not declined, and the Celts are not the only ones who have objections to Rome. Wouldn’t the province of Lu or the Germanic province have any objections to Rome?”

"But these two provinces are still waiting and watching." Octavia was not intimidated by Queen Boudica's words, but had a deeper understanding of the current situation of the British rebels: "If you are not willing to take a step back , then among the British rebels, there will always be someone willing to take a step back."

"What do you mean?" Queen Boudica suddenly had a bad feeling, looking at Octavia as if she was looking at a poisonous snake.

"What I mean is that before I found you, I had contact with the rest of the British generals." Octavia half-truthfully said: "Rome needs a Briton to exercise local rule, but it doesn't mean that this Briton is you .”

Queen Boudica was not an idiot either, so she could naturally hear what Octavia was saying.

In short, there are people in Britain who can't stand the long-term war and are willing to make peace with Rome, and even want to throw Boudica and her daughter out as scapegoats.

Although Queen Boudica was angry about this, it was not impossible to understand their actions.

This is not because Queen Boudica is an incurable Madonna, but those who opposed Roman rule with her only complained about the harsh labor, and did not suffer unprecedented hardships like Queen Boudica. insult.

Moreover, the long-term war of resistance also exhausted Britain's resources.

No one is growing food now, and Rome can still rely on supplies from other provinces to maintain sufficient combat effectiveness, so even if Rome does not play its final card, it is only a matter of time before the British rebellion is suppressed.

"If you don't agree to take a step back, then I have no choice but to find someone else." Octavia is too aware of the resistance of these people. They are not as determined as Queen Boudica, but after the resentment has passed, they become unprecedented. Hesitation and fear.

They are afraid of being crucified, and even more afraid of living a life without dignity like dogs in the next few decades, so it is only a matter of time before Octavia will tear them apart.

"I only came to you because your appeal is stronger and you can save a lot of trouble in the follow-up." After Octavia suppressed her, she softened her attitude: "I think even if you don't think for yourself, I will also think about my two daughters."

"If their lives stop in their teens, will your future be easier?"

"But we will leave in history the belief that we will never surrender." Queen Boudica's self-esteem made her unable to lower her head, and she did not want her daughter to bear the burden of a subjugated person after being ravaged by the Romans. Fame: "We will never be able to submit to others, let alone give up the independence of Britain."

"It seems that we can't talk anymore." Octavia ordered Queen Boudica to be sent back.

As a result, that night, news came that Queen Boudica and her two daughters had died of poison.

A member of the collateral line delivered Queen Boudica's head to the general's tent in Rome, and at the same time reaffirmed her submission to the emperor's statue.

At this point, the British rebellion finally ushered in the end.
