"Tiberius, your guest."

The day of peace seemed to have come, and after the capture of Ctesiphon, the threat to the East was almost gone, and the city of Rome was a scene of peace and prosperity. And people are not willing to be lonely, and even in peacetime, there are countless wars in politics and economy. Tiberius was in a state of irritability almost every day these days. The more Apis paid more attention to himself, the more Roman nobles and politicians visited him every day, and the content of the meeting and conversation was undoubtedly those matters of political election and interests.

Tiberius knew he was not capable of doing that, and he could not do that. Not only was Apis staring at it, but in the Senate, countless pairs of eyes were also staring at him. Tiberius knew that doing nothing on his own was the best way to cope.

"Nope."

At this moment, Tiberius, who was reading a book at home, spoke to the servant irritably.

"The host...... It's Lord Tyrems. ”

"I repeat, anyone, no!"

The servant, fearing that Tiberius would offend the nobles and senate outside, repeated it in a whisper. As a result, Tiberius yelled back.

"Damn it, brothers, these people are irritating, you go out with me and have a good time."

Driving away the Roman nobility and senate, Tiberius turned to the GIs beside him. To be exact, several centurions, in the Eastern Theater, were once Tiberius' men. During the war, they bravely protected Tiberius and formed a deep friendship with the little master. Although Tiberius did not like to deal with these rude GIs in essence, at the moment, the intentions and motives of these GIs were much purer than those of the chattering Roman senators and nobles. At the very least, they wouldn't expect Tiberius to give them an official seat out of thin air. Because it's simply not realistic. These GIs also know it.

"Oh! Tiberius, where are you going? ”

However, Tiberius, dressed as a civilian, was about to go out when he was stopped by his mother, Livia.

Livia has just finished dressing up and is going to go to the theater, (of course, she doesn't really want to see the theater, social activities.) At the door, he met Tiberius, dressed in simple clothes.

"Apis, I'll go find Apis."

Faced with his mother's cross-examination, Tiberius came up with an improvised excuse that was perfunctory.

"Lying. My child, growing up, I will know at a glance whether you are lying or telling the truth. Didn't you go to Appis and tell me, where the hell are you going? ”

Livia stepped closer and asked. The servants behind him were a little embarrassed, they didn't want to offend their mistress, and they didn't want to offend Tiberius, the little master. I could only stay behind Livia and wait for the conversation between them to end.

"I'll go out for a walk."

In desperation, Tiberius whispered back.

"With them?"

Livia subconsciously glanced at the GIs behind Tiberius. Although she didn't say anything, Tiberius knew that his mother was starting to resent his friends.

"Yes, my brothers."

Tiberius looked up and returned absent-mindedly.

"Where can you go with them? Prostitute. Courtyard or bathhouse? ”

"Mother, don't say that."

"My son, you are now grown up, you are no longer a teenager hairy boy, you have to know your mission and responsibilities, what to do, what not to do, don't waste time on some meaningless things. Prostitute. Courtyard? If you want, I can choose a hundred of the prettiest slaves to come to your house for you to vent. But you'd better not mess around that kind of place. In the future, you have to pay attention to your image. ”

Livia didn't finish her sentence, because several GIs were here and couldn't speak too clearly. Several centurions stood in place, a little embarrassed.

"My image? My image is like a ruffian at the bottom of society, so that I don't have to hear the buzzing like flies every day. ”

In the face of his mother's "strict control", Tiberian became a little impatient. He involuntarily began to rebel.

"Tiberius! That's how you talked to me? ”

Livia was also a little angry. Asked loudly.

"Mother, you go and do your thing, I need my own space. May I? ”

Tiberius suppressed his irritability, and then, before Livia could react, he opened the door of the villa and rushed out into the street.

Several GIs stared at Livia, shrugged their shoulders awkwardly, and followed Tiberius out of the villa. Looking at her son's immature performance, Livia felt a sense of loss that hatred of iron could not be made of steel.

…………

"Six o'clock! Six! ”

Casinos and prostitutes in Rome. The courtyard was connected to each other, and the GIs were in prostitution. After a happy ride, Tiberius and two of the GIs entered the casino. Here, of course, there are all kinds of ruffians and hooligans in society, and poor and free people who are eager to get rich overnight.

Tiberius didn't like this kind of place in general, but it was probably the only place to escape the chaos of politics. In fact, the young Tiberius knew that it was not that he should not be in charge of those things, but that he could not manage them without the permission of Apis. He had to wait for Appis's hint before he could get started, enter the Senate, and participate in political affairs. Now his every word and deed is being watched by the people above, but these ignorant nobles don't understand anything, so they come to find themselves at this time. Of course, I have to avoid them.

"Four o'clock!"

After a burst of shouting, the referee lifted the two clay pots containing the dice.

Tiberius was abused again...... Its dice add up to a full twelve points less than their opponents. Ten sesteres less, twelve at most one hundred and twenty sesterels, which was nothing to Tiberius, who had a lot of money. However, after discovering that the other party was cheating, Tiberius couldn't stand it anymore.

The fiery temper smashed directly into the opponent's face.

The vendor on the opposite side suddenly fell on his back to the sky, and the accomplices around him rushed up to theorize, it should be said that they were ready to do it, they didn't know who the young man in front of them was, they only knew that he was so arrogant, and this was originally their territory.

The two big men came up and prepared to beat Tiberius wildly, but before their fists could be smashed, they were caught by the veteran behind Tiberius in mid-air. The two centurions punched each other, instantly knocking each other to the ground. The violence soon escalated, and the vendor's men rushed forward, some picking up the kettle on the table, others picking up wooden sticks, and began to beat up the two veterans.

However, more GIs soon surrounded them, and the individual fights turned into group fights, and chaos broke out in the casino. In the confusion, Tiberius picked up the can and smashed it into the back of the vendor's head, causing the vendor's skull to splatter blood and go limp......
