"Listen, you don't need to do this for me, you are the daughter of Adia, the eldest daughter of the Gaius family, and you have a prominent status, don't risk it for a slave like me. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoOctavia, go back. ”

In the underground prison, when Octavia, a young aristocratic girl, appeared in front of Zhang Ce again, the otaku uncle's heart undoubtedly felt a burst of warmth and joy, but after a short period of excitement, Zhang Ce still regained his senses. Octavia, who took a huge risk to rescue herself, the eldest daughter of a famous nobleman, openly argued with the laws of Rome in order to save a slave, and if this matter got out, not only would the Gaius family be discredited, but Caesar would also be furious. Thinking of this, Zhang Ce couldn't help but feel a burst of self-blame for the sacrifice of the girl in front of him. I shouldn't owe others such a big favor, this feeling is very uncomfortable.

“……”

Octavia did not answer, but continued to order the servant to dress Zhang Ce up, and then opened a long suitcase, beautifully grained with dazzling gems on the outside. Obviously, this is a luxurious decoration only found in aristocratic families, and it is also Octavia's carry-on suitcase.

Zhang Ce immediately understood what she wanted to do.

The clever girl was going to pack the slave in front of her into her suitcase, and then walk through the streets of Rome in the open, using her identity to trick the guards into checking it. In fact, with such a prominent background, let alone a guard, even the sheriff would not dare to search Octavia's belongings.

"Wait a minute, stay inside, don't make a sound, don't move, and when you get out of the city gate, when you reach a safe place, I will open the lid of the box and call you out."

Octavia stood there and calmly said to Zhang Ce. Her delicate face was still a little immature, and her cheeks became red from the long-term nervous rush, seeing this, Zhang Ce couldn't help but feel guilty in her heart. The past years are vivid, as if they met yesterday, but today they have encountered so many changes......

I don't know how long I tossed around in this luxurious and exquisite suitcase, but when I came out again, the sky was already dark.

"Follow this road all the way north, go as far as you can, get out of Rome and into Transgaul, and no one will be arresting you there."

Octavia said as she stood in front of Zhang Ce. For the first time, the young aristocratic girl shed tears of sadness. A pair of crying red eyes, like a wounded kitten, curled up in their own world, crying for that broken dream......

……

After crossing over, he saw the girl crying silently in front of him for the first time, and Zhang Ce felt sad for a while for the bleak atmosphere at this moment. The thousands of reluctances, the rotten street plots that I once thought were only available in TV dramas, really happened to me at the moment. The gap between the nobles and the sinful slaves, the gap in status and identity, in this era, is an insurmountable gap.

"Don't cry, Octavia, I'll come back again, with glory, defeat the enemies of Rome, let the Senate hold a grand triumphal ceremony for me, and then I will propose to your mother, and wait for me."

Seeing Octavia's crying red eyes, Zhang Ce couldn't help but tell a lie, comforting this young girl, she is still alive, as the eldest daughter of a noble family, there are still too many helplessness and reality waiting for her to face in the future, and may even be used as a political tool, marrying a rich man or politician to win benefits for the family, but all this is not something that an ordinary Roman woman can control.

And Zhang Ce can't become famous in just a few years, if he wants to win the knighthood and defeat the enemies of Rome, and hold a triumphal ceremony, even Caesar doesn't dare to say it so confidently now, not to mention that he is still just a slave, or a slave who absconded with a crime. Maybe when you flee to Gaul, you will become a slave of Gaul, or one of those barbarians?

All of this can only show that wanting to be with Octavia is almost a vain dream.

“……”

Octavia was silent, tears kept flowing from her beautiful eyes, and her weak body was like a small tree swaying in the wind. Both of them know that once they are separated today, it is very likely that they will never see each other again in this life.

Octavia's personal servants all shunned it. In such a scene and in such an atmosphere, Zhang Ce suddenly couldn't help but hug him and hugged this weak woman tightly in his arms.

The gladiator's strong body, strong chest, and warm breath suddenly made Octavia, a weak girl, feel a burst of warmth, however, the more beautiful it was, the more Octavia cried, because beauty was only a moment, just a moment, and after that, Adunius still had to leave, and this gladiator was still a slave.

"Master, we're leaving."

Zhang Ce didn't know how long he had been holding the girl in his arms like this, this moment was just an instant, but it was eternal. Even himself, who has always been a man with tears and does not flick lightly, silently oozes helpless tears. Until Octavia's servant came over and anxiously reminded his master that the time was almost up. If she doesn't go back, Adia will find out.

At this time, Octavia reluctantly left Zhang Ce's arms. This man, named Aduneus, may have been imprinted in her mind and engraved in her heart for the rest of his life. Every girl has the most youthful dream she has ever had, and Zhang Ce must be the one who steals her heart.

Octavia departed, and with the help of the servants, got into the carriage back to the city. Stay in Zhang Ce and stand stupidly, as if he didn't want to let this time go away. However, reality is still coming.

He is now a slave and has no name, in the city, the man of Aduneus has been executed, and there is no more legendary gladiator named Aduneus in the city of Rome.

In front of him is the road to the north of Rome, with the symbol of a slave engraved on his body, Zhang Ce must now flee, all the way to the north, maybe one day, as a fleeing slave, captured by the legion as a military slave. Perhaps, go straight into Gaul and become a member of the barbarians, but, then, you really won't have the chance to meet Octavia again.

At night, it was pitch black on the paths outside Rome......
