"I think that because they are Romans, they would rather die nine times than swear themselves into slavery." - Brutus

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

At the mouth of the utility room, Biduita took out a fire sickle and lit a piece of wood, and in the light of the fire, the cook was taking off her shirt and pressing Calabis's hands against the wall, a pair of fat breasts against Calabis, gnawing at his neck and chest lifelessly, snorting like a greedy sow.

"Cook, you have done a good job, my master wants to add food, this is your reward." Bituita threw the purse to the ground and left.

"I'm going to add food, and the princess has to add dinner, baby, let's have a tryst here soon!" As if he had seen a savior, Calabis hurriedly pushed the cook away, thinking that if the little lady of the princess was half a minute late, I would not be able to walk tonight, and the "plus dinner" was the signal to contact Haode in advance - this shows that Adiana had successfully provoked Pompey with Claudius, and there was the Purple Sail Pirate next, hum, Pompey, I had done enough work against him before I came:

POMPEY USED IMPERIUMMAIUS TO DO SUCH A THING WHEN HE EXTERMINATED THE PIRATES BEFORE, THERE WAS A PROMINENT OLD GENERAL FROM THE METHRA FAMILY, WHO HAD BEEN POMPEY'S BOSS IN SPAIN BEFORE, THIS OLD GENERAL LED A SEA DIVISION AT THAT TIME, BESIEGED THE NEST OF MACMILLAN'S PIRATES, CRETE, AFTER A HARD SIEGE, IT SEEMED THAT THE ISLAND WAS ABOUT TO BE CONQUERED, BUT THE PIRATES RAN TO SURRENDER TO POMPEY, WHO WAS FIGHTING FAR AWAY, AS A RESULT, POMPEY IMMEDIATELY USED THE POWER OF IMPERIUMMAIUS, GRANTED BY THE TOWN COUNCIL, TO CALL THE WAR AT A DEPTH OF FOUR HUNDRED FURLONGS ALONG THE ENTIRE COAST OF THE SEA (MEDITERRANEAN AND BLACK SEA). and all under his command. Zuihou even ordered Metra to get out of the way. Let the pirates come out of Crete (Macmillan also slipped away at that time) and surrender in his own war zone.

This matter was later suppressed in many ways (the Senate still had to rely on Pompey's command art at that time), coupled with the fanatical support of the common people for Pompey, the Metra family was broken teeth and blood, but this military family also formed a bond with Pompey.

Now Calabis is eager to get more and more knotted with Pompey's beams, because it seems that he is going to use this power again to the head of our thirteenth legion, Ponticabion, or something. It must be within a distance of four hundred furlongs - when the main force of the Thirteenth Army of Philippron arrives, there will be a big drama to watch, and the lively ones are never afraid of big things.

Now, it's up to me to do it, yes, I forgot, I have to get out of this damn fat cook first! As soon as Calabis arrived at the stove, the cook came up and asked Calabis to put her arms around her to write a new chapter of hot stewed chicken, and Calabis was smiling. I was crying in my heart, and I felt the urge to knock her out with a spoonful. But for the time being, only broken teeth and blood were swallowed.

At last, when it was time to go to the garden to collect the earth, Calabis very gentlemanly begged the housekeeper to collect the fragrant soil again, and when the cook reluctantly went out from the threshold, Carabis resolutely covered his coat, and calmly opened the shutters of the room in full view of the others, and went out, and then, in the wall of the palace courtyard, stepping on the depression in the utility room, climbed up hand and foot, and calmly bent the iron fence with a spoon, and then threw the spoon to the ground, and disappeared into the darkness.

"I'm sorry, I took this emetic and it seems to have diminished my appetite. Now it's about to enter the time for the male guests to taste the wine, and as a woman, it should be the time for me to retire, and the carriage is tiring, but I don't know if Your Excellency the General has the time to arrange a room for me in the palace? "Adiana took some emetic drugs before the meal came, which was the most important item of the ancient Roman banquet, and the host would let the guests take the emetic medicine in the interval before the meal was served, so as to continue the binge eating.

Pompey said very gracefully that everything had already been arranged, and the princess also stood up elegantly, and then looked at Stratonis, who was still lying on the couch, and said bitterly: "Don't you even know the most basic etiquette of the banquet, and it will soon be time for the male guests to drink, recite poetry, and watch the dance, are you a performer?" After saying this, the princess walked out of the dining-room with a surprised and inexplicable expression, accompanied by several eunuchs, and she was not ready to mention the question of which small kingdom Pompey would settle her to for the time being, because Calabis said that the time was not yet ripe, and told her to wait in the palace with peace of mind.

When the princess walked to the semi-underground cloister of the palace and was about to go to the little sleeping palace by the woods of the racecourse, she was stopped by Stratonis, who came from behind, and the princess turned back murderously, ready to fight her.

"Tell me, Adiana, what is the matter with my two brothers, Pasius and Philip, you have come from the city of Ponticabion, and you should know these things." Who knows, Stratonis asked.

Adiana was silent for a few seconds, and then said in a cold tone, "Dead, one at the hands of my father, one at the hands of Calabis." ”

The air at night at the turn of spring and summer was wet and sad, the parapets on both sides of the cloister were full of black ivy that could not be distinguished, boxwood made a tidal sound in the wind, and Stratonis knelt on the ground, clutching the dirt with both hands, crying but not making a sound, because she was still Adana's father's favorite first-class singer, she had lost all her relatives, all of them.

"Do you think you're the only one who is being treated like this by fate? The reason why lowly people and noble families are noble is because they can maintain dignity and calmness in the face of fate, no matter how miserable. After saying that, Adiana turned and dragged her skirt, and continued in the direction of the small racecourse with the color of clothes mixed with the night, she admitted that she had just deceived the other party with vicious and hypocritical language, and when she was expelled from the palace by her father, the feeling of terror and helplessness was unforgettable for the rest of her life, and when she heard the sound of the riot in the kitchen over there, she stopped, and thought to herself, "I wonder what happened to Calabis?" ”

"Just now, the cooks in the back kitchen began to chatter, saying that the spirit of the god of the stove came to this palace, and now they are back. But when I inquired, I learned that the Vesta Elf was actually a black-haired and yellow-skinned person. In the vine trellis passage on the side, Demetrius came out with a smile and stood in front of the princess.

The princess snorted cold air in her nose, as if she had seen the most troublesome and disgusting thing, and she was ready to move on.

"YOU AND THE ESCAPED CALABIS WANT TO USE IMPERIUMMAIUS TO MAKE A FUSS, BUT IT WON'T WORK IN FRONT OF ME, I HAVE SEEN THROUGH YOUR TRICKS." Demetrius spoke calmly behind the princess. (To be continued......)
