My Mom Sandy Love Song

Cleopatra VII, Cleopatra VII.

Legend has it that she relied on becoming Caesar's mistress to ensure the independence of her country from being annexed by the Roman Empire.

For the Iceni people, it is of course a dream to have a good relationship with the Governor of Britannia.

If the queen of her own country becomes the mistress of a young man who is His Majesty's favorite and heir to the empire, then Britain's safe future is also obvious.

However, other people's ideas are simply trivial.

No matter how much you love your people, no one can decide what the queen thinks.

More importantly, she herself is so eager for——

At least Boudica didn't object to being Rhodes' mistress.

"Everyone wanted me to do this, so I came to ask for your opinion... I don't know, that..."

The queen, who lost her composure, waved her hands in a gesture that didn't match her mature appearance:

"Oh, that doesn't mean I'm personally against such things!

Absolutely, absolutely not that meaning, in my opinion, the governor is a very good man, if I can, if I can be with you..."

"……Do not."

To the Queen's surprise, Rhodes didn't even think for too long, and directly rejected her.

"I'm sorry. Boudica, I can't make you my mistress."

"—"

There was a distant and strong tinnitus in the queen's ears.

His brain went blank, and his cheeks, which were as bright red as his hair, suddenly turned pale.

Boudica raised his head silently to observe Rhodes.

The boy's expression was so serious and sure, there was no room for maneuver in it.

Ahh...so that's the case.

Boudica suddenly realized.

In the eyes of the governor, I am nothing more than a dirty and savage woman from the country.

To be his mistress, at least one must be an imperial citizen woman of noble blood and educated since childhood.

How can a woman like me, who is useless except for fighting, be qualified to stand by his side.

How much is a little overconfident.

"...That's right."

Boudica lowered his head desolately.

"I'm sorry, Governor General. Please forgive my wishful thinking."

Rhodes shook his head, and continued: "I don't want you to be my mistress, if possible... Boudica, please be my wife."

"That's right... If you let a barbarian like me become your mistress, it will only lower your reputation.

A person like me is only fit to be your wife... Huh?Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey! ? ! ? ! ? "

Boudica's mouth was half open, and his eyes were round.

"You, what are you talking about, my lord governor! Are you drunk!?"

Rhodes looked at him calmly, and said seriously: "I'm not drunk, I'm serious, Boudica. If you don't mind, please be my wife."

He showed a faint smile towards Boudica who was stunned and lost his voice.

His smile and words made the queen's eyes open even more.

"From the first moment I saw you, I fell in love with you at first sight.

I want to be your husband, Boudica.

Even if you don't like the style of Rome, it's okay if you don't want to live in the imperial capital, I will always stay with you in Britain... Ah, just let me go back to Rome once in a while to see His Majesty.

Come back with me if you can, because I want to show off my beautiful wife to other people too. "

"...beautiful, beautiful or something."

Regardless of Boudica who was about to bury his whole face in his towering chest, Rhode continued: "In short, I will make you happy, Boudica. Will you be my wife?"

"—"

Boudica had no words to answer Rhodes' proposal.

She just shed tears of joy while burying her head in the boy's chest.

"I don't know Latin, and I don't know the etiquette of the empire. Someone like me can really..."

"Of course, no one but you."

"...Woo." Boudica said falteringly, "Little girl is not talented..."

"That's why you don't need to learn how the nobles speak."

Boudica, whose face was on Rhodes' chest, cried and laughed after hearing this.

Staring at her face, Rhodes said.

"Prasu Tagus."

"Hmm... what?"

"It's the name I'll use when I'm in Britannia."

Rhodes said: "After I officially marry you, I will also be a Briton. Naturally, I must have a British name."

Boudica blinked: "What a strange name."

"Really, it's actually the name I saw on a roadside sign yesterday. I think it's pretty good."

"Well... If you think it's good, then I think it's good too."

After the dinner that day, Boudica became Rhodes' fiancée.

A week later, Rhodes set foot on the boat back to the mainland.

On the harbor, Boudica's bright red hair fluttered in the wind.

Rhodes' figure was reflected in her emerald eyes, and the corners of her mouth were twisted nervously.

"Will His Majesty really agree to our marriage?"

He shook the queen's hand and promised her, "It will be all right, Boudica.

I will return to Rome to explain my marriage to Your Majesty, and next spring I will return to Britain to marry you. "

"Well, I'll wait for you."

Since Rhodes said so, it must be fine.

Boudica lovingly hugged the boy tightly in his arms, and kept stroking his black hair.

"That...Miss Boudica? Your Lady Queen? I should be the one holding you at a time like this, right?"

"... Ah! Sorry! Because my husband is too cute, I can't help it! Please forgive me!"

A bright future awaits Britain.

A happy life awaits Boudica.

The queen, who watched the ship go away in the golden sunlight, believed so firmly at that time.

However, Boudica couldn't wait for the day when his dream came true.

All the good memories stayed on the night they agreed to last forever.

After Rhodes left Britain, he never returned.

It's not that he abandoned Boudica, if that's the case, the Queen will feel extremely at ease——

His fiancé, Rod disappeared.

Like disappearing from the world, on the way back to the empire, Rhodes completely disappeared from this world.

It is not only the queen of the island country who is saddened by the disappearance of the boy, but also the emperor who is far away in the imperial capital.

Nero, who lost his son for no reason, was furious.

As punishment, she issued an edict announcing the confiscation of all the territories of the Iceni.

Boudica naturally refused, this land was the home agreed upon between her and her husband, and she would wait here for Rhodes to return, even if the other party was her husband's mother, she had no right to claim it.

So the Roman Empire sent troops to the island.

Unable to bear the atrocities committed by the Roman Empire in its vicious aggression, Boudica led the kings to set off a rebellion.

The Romans and Celts continued to accumulate hatred in the conflict, and the war quickly spread to the entire territory of the island.

Finally, after a not-so-long war.

The British army was defeated by Emperor Nero's army, and Queen Britannia died in the war.

Later generations became the legend of Britain's Queen of Victory, and Boudica still hates Rome to this day——

"You ask Lord Rhodes? Of course he is a child of Britain! A true son of Britain!"

So said Queen Boudica.

"A wish for the Holy Grail to come true...? Well, for Britannia to be peaceful, and for her husband to be taken away from the wicked mother-in-law Nero!"

320 The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law

"Master Rhodes, you must have forgotten me, right?"

The astonishment and panic that flashed in Rhodes' eyes did not escape Boudica's eyes.

When the boy's name was called again, the queen's smile gradually disappeared.

"Of course I haven't forgotten you. You are Boudica, my beautiful fiancée! How are you? I miss you so much!"
