Her tone suddenly sank, she was as quiet as green algae floating in the blue sea, slowly talking about the past.
"..." Neos fell silent, holding his breath to listen, like eels swaying like water plants at the bottom of the lake.
"Actually, the girl wasn't named Nero at first, it was a name that was chosen later. As for why she chose it, I will talk about it later, and let me talk about the first one first." Nero said.
"Ah."
"Speaking of which, when the girl was born, she was named Lucius. I don't know what the meaning is, but the girl's parents gave her this male name."
Nero's expression was light, "I've heard adults say that the birth of a girl is sinful because she has the blood of the great Augustus."
"Augustus, Octavian?"
"That's right, Octavian is the great-grandfather of the girl, so as a member of the family, he can also be an emperor."
The girl smiled, feeling a little proud: "So, she was feared by the tyrant Caligula from the moment she was born, and when her father died, the whole family was exiled by the emperor."
After all, she complained in a low voice: "So it's crazy, isn't it? You worry about it without asking about your gender."
"Maybe it's because the girl has a male name," Nios said.
"That's right,"
Nero shook his head, then waved his hand suddenly, "I digressed, I digressed, where are we talking?"
"The whole family was exiled."
"That's right, the whole family of the girl named Lucius was exiled, but this is not the worst thing,"
Nero shrugged and said, "What's worse is that the tyrant exiled the whole family and deprived Lucius of her father's inheritance, and the girl's mother and aunt were forced to separate from the girl."
"So... where was the girl sent?" Neos asked.
"Being fostered at my aunt's house, a bunch of miserly and perverted bastards!" Nero snorted softly and gritted his teeth.
The shadows of the leaves cast on her soft face, and her beautiful eyes were hidden in the shadows.
"Then, in the day-by-day ostracism and abuse, the girl Lucius stood on the hill next to the field after finishing her work every day, and waited until dark, even if she was scolded or beaten... .”
Nero said softly: "Because that's the only way, I can see my mother come to pick me up."
Neos sat there blankly, suddenly didn't know what to say.
Less than ten years after he was born, he experienced his father's death, his mother's exile, and his own homeless life in foster care...
He pictured the blonde girl with the dirty face, standing on the knoll, waiting for someone to take her out of there, lonely and miserable.
"Then..." Neos murmured.
"Of course I'll pick you up, are you stupid!"
Nero gave him a blank look, "Because the tyrant died later, he was killed by the captain of his own guard, super ironic."
"Yes."
"After the death of the tyrant, Claudius was proclaimed emperor. He is Lucius's mother's uncle and a member of the family.
So the exiled girl's mother regained her freedom, the girl was taken back by her mother, and the family regained its former glory. "
Having said that, Nero smiled sweetly, as if recalling a very happy memory.
It must have been a happy day for her.Neos thought.
"I'm really happy. At that time..."
Nero seemed to have heard his heart, with his hands crossed on the table, his cheek on his forearm, lying on the table, sighing contentedly and contentedly.
"My mother and my aunt came to pick me up and beat up my aunt's family with the Praetorian Guards. Then we talked about the days after returning to Rome in the car."
She suddenly stopped telling the story in the third person and told the story directly as herself.
"When we were in the car, my mother said that she just wanted to find a home for my aunt, guard my father's grave for the rest of my life, and then raise me.
Don't let me suffer or be bullied anymore, and when I grow up, let me get married in a glorious manner..."
It would be great if the story only stayed here, without painful experience and sad ending.
but......
Neos said softly in his heart.
"But the emperor married a young and beautiful 17-year-old queen, and the queen gave birth to a prince for the old emperor..."
Nero took a deep breath, the smile on the corner of his mouth became more sarcasm, and he glanced at Nios intentionally or unintentionally, "Oh, by the way, the prince is named Britannicus, which symbolizes that Emperor Claudius conquered Britain. glory."
"..."
Neos lowered his eyes, and he basically guessed the direction of the next story.
"As soon as Emperor Claudius came to power, he brought back two nieces who were in exile. It happened that both of the nieces were stunning, so the queen felt threatened by it..."
really.
Neos sighed silently.
"So pity my aunt, she returned to Rome only two years ago, and just lived a stable life, she was once again exiled by the queen for lewdness."
Nero shook his head helplessly, "And the one who was exiled with my aunt is the most famous scholar in the empire, Seneca, who is now my teacher."
Neos frowned: "So Seneca is back, then..."
"Aunt, she died after all... this time without my mother to accompany her, so she died alone in exile."
Nero turned his face away, pouted his chin, and there was a bit of crying in his voice, "So why...you have never done anything wrong in your life, why do you have to suffer this?"
Game of Thrones.
Neos sighed in his heart.
The return of the sisters aroused the queen's fear, which is nothing.
However, the birth of the prince and the return of Lucius have laid hidden dangers for the future struggle for the throne. This is the root cause of the queen's cruelty.
But who will win this game of power in the end, the ending is already clear, isn't it?
Neos raised his head and looked at the girl.
From the looks of it, Lucius' mother, Agrippina, was no ordinary woman, she actually let a young girl snatch the throne from the orthodox prince abruptly.
"Maybe it was my aunt's death that made my mother wake up, let her understand that the game of thrones is never dead,
It's not right or wrong, it's just that we happen to be in the way of those in power. "
Nero's eyes changed, as if he had lost his soul, he stared quietly ahead, his expression was lost in thought, and his whole body was filled with a sense of powerlessness.
"I'll never forget that day..."
Nero said softly, "It was my aunt's funeral, but only my mother and I were there, and it was raining heavily that day."
"My mother gave me a small knife and told me to cut off all my hair. I had just finished crying. I was stupid and weak, and I couldn't pick up the knife. I could only say no while crying.
So my mother was very angry, and she pressed me in front of my aunt's grave, and chopped off all my hair strand by strand. "
Nero raised his eyebrows and touched his head. The blonde hair had been left for a long time, and it was past the ears now.
She played with the strands of hair at the sideburns, and said: "At that time, my hair was longer than this, reaching to the shoulders, but it was all cut off by my mother. At that time, I thought she was going to cut off my ears, so I was so scared that I cried. .”
Neos nodded but didn't speak.
He seemed to hear the cry of that rainy night, strands of blond hair fell to the ground, and both mother and daughter changed little by little in front of the grave.
"After the repair, I was crying stupidly, with short hair on top of my head, and the whole person was in a daze, and then my mother also hugged me and cried..."
Her voice trembled a little, she lowered her head, her eyebrows and eyes were all hidden in the shadows, "After crying, she apologized to me and told me at the same time..."
"From now on, you are the great-grandson of Emperor Augustus, and you have the emperor's blood on your body, but if you are just a woman, then this blood is worthless!"
Nero raised his eyes slightly, exposing the red pupils from the shadows, and the sadness and anger flowed out like substance.
Her complexion was livid, and she was gnashing her teeth like a lion tearing flesh!
This was a funeral that changed many people, and Nero recalled that rainy night almost countless times.
Because not only Lucius' aunt Livia, but also Agrippina's sister Livia was buried there that day.
The girl who stood on the hillside by the field all day long, waiting for her mother to pick her up, and the woman who just wanted to guard the grave of her dead husband and raise her daughter safely...
They were also buried together in that rainy night, in that tomb.
"And the rest of the story, all Rome knows,"
Nero suddenly became weak and shook his head, "My mother kicked the young queen away, climbed into her uncle's bed, and became the new queen,
People all over Rome called her a slut, but no one knew that she had only had three men in her life. "
"Really..." Neos suddenly admired this woman.
Nero said "Yes" and nodded, "One is my biological father; the other is after that rainy night, she married a wealthy and powerful politician in order to win over nobles; the last is her uncle, Emperor Claudius. …”
"Then you were adopted by the emperor?"
"yes,"
Nero sighed and looked up at the towering giant tree, as if looking back at his own past.
"From that day on, I was forced by my mother to wear short hair and wear a corset,
To learn to talk like a boy, to live like a boy, and to be educated like a boy.
So I also came into contact with art at that time, and I didn't expect that I would like it so much later. "
Neos glanced at her chest subconsciously, and couldn't imagine how these two big things could be wrapped under the corset.
Nero stared, folded his hands on his chest, "Don't look at me like that, I'll release it when I take a shower and sleep at night!"
"Feel sorry......"
"Forgive you!" Nero raised his chin.
"So, it should be because of your mother that you can receive the best education." Neos changed the subject.
"Of course, she was married to a very powerful politician at the time, so she was able to give me a good education, and she was able to contact the emperor and empress through her husband's contacts."
Nero nodded, "As for how she defeated the queen at the time, I don't know. Anyway, one day, when I was in class, a soldier came to pick me up, saying that my mother has become a queen, and the emperor wants to accept me as a queen." adopted son.
Then the old emperor announced in front of many people that I was his new adopted son, named Nero Claudius. "
Neos froze.
