My Destiny Illustrated Book of the Moon

Chapter 613 The beast sleeps soundly in the Dream of Roses

It was an extremely beautiful and alluring woman wearing a light gauze skirt. Although the clothing was revealing, it did not appear to be wild. On the contrary, she was full of nobility.

If you look carefully, you can detect the familiarity in the woman's face.

In her plump arms, a blond girl also wearing a gauze skirt lowered her head, with a red ribbon hanging from the back of her head, like a carefully crafted doll, letting her mother hold her in her arms and whisper in suppressed excitement.

"Your father passed away a few hours ago. Although you are not his biological child, you are now the legitimate successor to Caesar."

"My daughter, you will be emperor."

The woman shook the child's shoulders, and the blond girl raised her head obediently. The moment her appearance came into view, the onlookers Hakuno Kishinami and Alice exclaimed.

"is her?!"

"This is the red big sister..."

With that appearance, it was the 'Nero' who had revealed his murderous intention towards them before!
No matter how shocked the audience was, the story continued to unfold. While her mother was telling her story excitedly, the blond girl suddenly covered her forehead and let out a painful groan.

"Woo..."

"Do you have another headache?" It was obvious that the girl was suffering from pain, but the beautiful mother did not feel panic at all. She calmly ordered, "I'll give you some more medicine, drink it all."

...!
Only after hearing these words, the blond girl couldn't help but say: "I don't like drinking this, this medicine is too bitter."

The moment the words were spoken, Hakuno and Alice looked at each other - the girl's voice was weak and full of pleading, completely different from the energetic words they had heard before, to the point where people wondered if they were twins.

Her mother's expression darkened and she spoke meaningfully: "Listen to your mother, and everything will go smoothly."

"……Oh."

The blonde girl picked up the bitter potion and drank it in one gulp.

[I cannot disobey my mother. If I don’t obey, even my biological child will be killed]

[Just like that adoptive father. 】

The girl's sad and lonely voice echoed in this space for a long time. Bai Ye and Alice were equally silent. They were shocked by the beautiful woman in the picture——

By those mud-like eyes that seemed to swallow everything.

Even though he still had doubts about this place, Bai Ye could not help but be attracted by the story.

How did a girl who was so obedient and involuntary as a child become the lively and confident person she is today, and what kind of past led to her being recorded on the Throne of Heroes?
Wait...what is the constellation Valor?
Bai Ye, who had lost her memory, continued to be confused, and as the scenes changed, one of her questions was answered:

"Let's arrange a tutor for you so that you can have the qualities that an emperor should have."

As the funeral of the former emperor ended, the woman who had become the regent looked at her daughter and said this.

"There is a good candidate among my old acquaintances. He is a former philosopher of the Senate. As long as we can win over the Senate, our position will be unshakable."

In this way, he moves his most caring chess pieces in a scheming way, thereby seeking more benefits.

"Oh." The blonde girl sighed.

Being a tutor or something like that, isn't this becoming less and less free? It's obvious that she just wants to stay quietly and recite poems.

Sure enough, it's better to just find a reason to go out.

Wrapped in a thin gauze skirt, the girl walked decisively outside the palace. However, when she was in the empty corridor, she was distracted for a moment and bumped into someone's solid back with a thud.

It hurts.

With a sore nose, the girl took a few steps back, tears welling up in the corners of her painful eyes: "It's so rude, don't stand in the middle of the corridor!"

In shock and anger, she, who was used to silence, rarely showed a bit of domineering demeanor.

"You bastard, tell me your name!"

"Ah, this is really rude."

Hearing the voice, the tall and straight man turned his head. To Bai Ye and Alice's surprise, even among the pictures of soldiers standing guard and retinues coming and going, only this man's face was blurred, and only vaguely, I could feel the smiling look he was giving me.

"I haven't returned to this land for a long time, and I was immersed in sentimentality for a while." The man pressed his hand on his chest, politely, "I am the philosopher Seneca, Your Majesty the Emperor."

When he lowered his head to salute, the sun behind him cast a large shadow, directly blocking the girl and even the dull hair on her head.

So big...

The girl recalled the previous collision, it felt like hitting a wall. She crossed her arms and looked increasingly unhappy: "Are you Yu's tutor? I thought you were an old man who couldn't straighten his back. What a surprise."

After a pause, the girl continued: "You are really unlucky. You won an incredible lottery. I am not interested in philosophy or imperial studies. I'm afraid you will pack up and leave soon."

"That's not possible, Your Majesty, your queen mother has saved my life as an exiled person." The man rubbed his chin and looked at the girl up and down, as if he had discovered a rare piece of jade, "I will definitely train you Become an excellent leader.”

That kind of look——

Bai Ye opened her eyes slightly. In a daze, she always felt that someone had cast eyes on her like this. But judging from the clothes in the picture, this story probably happened in the distant past.

Is it an illusion?
The picture flows. This time, a man claiming to be Seneca stood in front of a sculpture: "This is your Majesty's work."

"Hmm, before I was a leader, I was an excellent artist. How about it, a good work, right?"

Seneca fell into deep thought. Next to him, the beautiful girl tried her best to pretend not to care, but her eyes that kept glancing at him still revealed her nervous mood.

"Honestly, the finish of this thing is very subtle."

"Wha, what?!"

The philosopher's words shocked the girl. When she fell into depression, Seneca smiled and opened the scroll. It was a vast picture of this country.

"If you know nothing about the outside world and just work behind closed doors, your senses will be dull. Come with me to increase your knowledge, Your Majesty."

"Hmph, I don't like stupid people!"

"His Majesty the Emperor is still very young, so you don't have to worry about your height." Although he couldn't see his face clearly, anyone would be sure Seneca was smiling, "There is still the possibility of growing taller."

"You... actually mentioned your height in front of Yu. You really stepped on a landmine." The girl said angrily, "That's why you will suffer the pain of exile!"

Even though she was embarrassed and annoyed, the girl couldn't help but think this way.

[Hmm, although he is very annoying, he is an interesting guy. 】

[It seems that it can kill the boredom a little bit. 】From that day on, Seneca’s teaching began.

In the undercurrent of regime change, there were many people who alienated the young emperor, but this man was different. He worked hard to develop the girl's talents and increase her knowledge.

After merely learning the knowledge of the sword, he defeated the disapproving Roman officer just moments after the actual battle began;

Just by copying the master's paintings and studying diligently for several days, you can learn all the techniques and add bold imagination.

After the poems written simply by talent spread outside the palace, people rushed to circulate them, and even thought that a famous poet had ghostwritten them for the emperor.

——It’s amazing, her talent is truly blessed by God.

Seneca looked at the girl's increasingly confident and brilliant posture with deep eyes.

"Seneca, look at this!" The girl hurried out of the dressing room, holding a brand new dress in both hands. This is a ball gown that embodies the boldness and aura of art, and is clearly designed in the style of men's clothing. , but when worn by an exquisite girl, it has an astonishing beauty like Venus.

"Look at that, the dress designed by Yu himself, it's very beautiful!"

The girl smiled proudly. She danced in the solemn classical palace, and her close-fitting dress rotated with it, flowing with brilliant golden-red brilliance: "Wearing this dress, Yu's inspiration is endless! I also want to match it." The red sword!"

After a brief moment of astonishment, Seneca smiled and, together with Bai Ye next to her, admired the dress of the young emperor that would be immortalized in future generations.

The once weak and submissive young emperor fully blossomed, and the budding rose finally bloomed. She began to spread her branches to the world, showing off every beautiful petal. She was young, enthusiastic, and full of vitality. She loved the world deeply. This country, and the belief that everything it loves will love her back with the same passion.

As a teacher, he was extremely aware of this. While he was proud of it, he felt a little uneasy in his heart.

Your Majesty, the Emperor has come quite far.

I must be responsible for discovering and exploring her talent.

If, that little gem that shines with bravery one day turns into an evil star and falls——

That disaster will definitely be the flame of sin lit by my own hands.

Maybe I shouldn't reach out...

"How about it, Seneca!" The rose bloomed enthusiastically, and the girl came closer to her teacher, her eyes as green as laurel leaves shining, without concealing her expectation, "This is Yu's talent, and the corrupt state affairs are all caused by I will correct it!"

This was the speech made by the young emperor before the inauguration ceremony. Such a radiant person, such a talented and dazzling star, stretched out her hand to the man, full of dependence.

"All of Yu's talents should be dedicated to the people and art. Seneca, use your ability to support Yu for a while!"

Maybe, I should have let it go.

Maybe at that time, you should exile yourself back to the wilderness again——

However, looking at those eyes, I couldn't say no words no matter what.

After a brief silence, the man smiled bitterly and stretched out his hand to shake hands with the future emperor.

"At your service, Augustus."

The girl smiled, and that bright smile, together with the intoxicating sunshine behind her, blurred Seneca's vision.

Ah, please forgive me, merciful Lord.

I can no longer tell whether this is dawn...

Or, dusk.

----

[She was born at the break of dawn]

[Not as the emperor’s legitimate son, but as the end of a clan]

[Perhaps it is the reaction of illegitimate birth, she is different from the Augustus of all generations]

【Love others more than family members】

[I love the citizens more than dignitaries]

[However, this lifestyle is not understood]

【Regardless of family members or others】

【No matter dignitaries or citizens】

[So, the first person to have a conflict with her was her mother, Agrippina]

A cunning and selfish woman who was above the authority of Augustus.

She reconciled with the Senate without permission, causing the policies that the Girl Emperor had worked so hard to implement to be wasted overnight. The loss of credit and expenses was huge, and the innocent people involved in this turmoil were also countless.

... No one knows how much trauma this fact has caused to her fragile spirit.

However, as far as the results were concerned, she was determined to assassinate her mother and had to eradicate the jackals in the backyard before the showdown with the Senate.

However, the assassinations failed repeatedly.

At last……

A wave of blood swept across, and when Bai Ye opened his eyes, what he saw was the once extremely beautiful woman dripping blood from the corner of her mouth. Under the horrified gazes of all the dignitaries, her arms stretched out to the sky fell limply.

The wine glass she held in her hand rolled down and was picked up by the young emperor, whose eyes were lowered and her expression was unclear. She raised the glass and announced loudly to the panicked crowd:

"——This person poisoned Yu."

"Even if you are a mother, betraying the emperor is a capital crime!"

Yes, she finally chose to execute her mother in public. As the last blood relative, her mother’s last words were:
"I curse you..."

"Nero Claudius."

【The time is 59 AD】

[The moment when the tyrant’s name remains unchanged]

[From this moment on, her life took a more wrong path]
