"Oh, little Tretus, what wind brought you here? What about your mother? Didn't she come with you? ”

During the night, Tretus ran alone to the house of the Roman senator Cicero. As soon as he entered the door, Cicero warmly welcomed the hottest little hero of the moment. It's just that Cicero is a little curious, where is Octavia? What is this young man doing here by himself?

"She didn't come with me, I came out on my own, I was in a bad mood, I came out to relax, and I came to you unconsciously."

Tretus replied with a smile. He stepped into Cicero's house, and the servants quickly undressed him and laid him down in his hands. He walked into the atrium with Cicero. This is the entrance to the whole villa, and in the courtyard, the fountain also spits out the clear and sweet spring water at night, surrounded by blood and green trees, which is an architectural pattern that only the powerful nobles of Rome have.

Walking into the villa, under the floor is a lead pipe with hot water, which keeps the temperature of the ground constant, and even if you take off your shoes, it is still very comfortable to step on.

Of course, Tretus didn't come to Cicero tonight for these material comforts, he came to know some truth that he was obsessed with.

…………

"Tretus, you know, the history that you and I know may not be true, and no one knows what happened in Spain that year. I heard about your father, Sektus. Pompey once loved your mother Octavia, but Octavia wasn't entirely true to him......"

Tretus was very clever, he did not tell Cicero the purpose of his visit, but only talked about other matters first, some important and unimportant things, and then talked about them first, and then, while eating food and drinking wine with Cicero, it was not until the old man was drowsy because of the lack of alcohol that Tretus began to ask the questions he wanted. And what he wanted to know, in fact, was only one - Szectus. Pompey was not his own father after all. If on the battlefield, Anthony deliberately made up lies, then, here, what Cicero said can never be false again, and if both people say the same thing, it can only prove that the truth is so, and there will be no mistakes. As a result, the confused old Cicero was like this, under the influence of alcohol, pouring out the hidden things of the year intermittently......

"What really happened in Spain that year? Who killed Sextus? ”

"It's Anthony and Appis. At that time, they were ordered by Caesar to go to Spain to destroy Pompey's power. Séctus was in charge of the garrison of the Spanish Legion. Antony and Apis, who were colleagues at the time, defeated Sektus and forced him to surrender. But Sextus was unwilling to surrender. Later, Apis took Octavia to negotiate peace with Sextus, hoping that he would lay down his arms and accept peace talks, so that everything could start from scratch. ”

"And later?"

Cicero burped while drowsy under the influence of alcohol. And Tretus asked questions from time to time, not letting Cicero fall asleep. He wanted to know the answer, and now the truth was getting clearer.

"And then ...... Later, Apis and Antony defeated Sextus in a battle and killed him. Octavian and Apis persuaded Octavia not to give birth to the child, but Octavia was determined to give birth to the child......"

"And so there is my ......"

After listening to Cicero's drinking, Teretus muttered to himself. He sat in his seat, his expression gloomy, as if the world in front of him had lost its color, and there was only one truth, that is, back then, Apis and Antony defeated their father Sexes together, and then, he grew up in a childhood without a father, and the funny thing is that the hero he admired the most was his father's killer. It was Apis who made himself lose his father, his father's love. So, why did he repeatedly perform eye-catching on the battlefield, but Apis fell in love with Tiberius even more, and Teretus finally had an answer at this moment.

"Cicero, you just said that Octavia was not completely sincere towards Sextus, so where is Octavia's sincerity? Who has she loved? ”

Tretus laughed at himself, and suddenly remembered that he hadn't finished asking some questions, and tried to wake Cicero to learn more about what had happened. As a result, Cicero, who was overwhelmed by the wine, had already fallen asleep on his bench. He also held an empty wine glass in his hand.

…………

"Theretus is missing! Tretus is missing! ”

Two days later, in the house of Octavia, in the center of Rome, was in a mess, and the servants searched every corner of the house, asking all the passers-by to find the little master, Tretus. Eventually, Octavia found a letter written on papyrus under her mattress.

It was a letter written by Teretus, and the contents of the letter drove Octavia mad......

"Dear Mother, I am going to be far away for a while, and you will not have to look for me anymore. I swear to the gods that I will definitely come back. For the obsession in my heart. I have heard from many people what happened back then. Appis, the hero I have admired for ten years, turned out to be my greatest enemy. Mom, you know, I grew up without a father's love, and in fact, in my seventeen years of formative years, what I wanted most was not to make a career, not to point out the future of the Republic in the Roman Senate, but to have a father and father's love. This is what I crave the most, however, until recently, I was sure that what Anthony said to me was not a lie......"

Octavia couldn't read the rest of the words, and she yelled like crazy, what was her only son going to do when he ran away from home because of his obsession? Like Brutus, organize an army to crusade against Appis? What does he know? It's just an ignorant child!

"Tretus, my son, you are a complete fool! You know, even if Apis Antony didn't kill him, Caesar would have sent someone else to kill him. It's irreversible, it's a tragedy in the first place, you know too little! ”

Octavia hissed and shouted as hard as she could. The story of that year, the history of that year was too complicated, this was originally a political marriage, and with the full-scale outbreak of civil war, its ending was bound to be tragic.

But Tretus was too young, and he didn't know that much. At this time, young Tretus may be traveling to a foreign land with a sense of rage, seeking his so-called revenge. However, Tretus is the only relative in Octavia......
