Nova Roma

Felix ate his prepared corn while she walked the streets of the city, in Origin Civitatem there seemed to be not much to do but there were always surprising things to see, for example, the bars were open during the night.

There were also theaters where emotional stories or tragedies were told such as that of Oedipus, Felix liked his father's works more since she did not follow the typical rules of the theater of dividing the work by time but rather were continuous stories.

When she finished eating his prepared corn, she threw the garbage into one of the many garbage cans in the city and went to the theater to see the play "Peperit Imperator" (Birth of the Emperor).

The theater was somewhat filled by different kinds of people, Felix bought a place in the most visible area of ​​the box and paid as if nothing were the 20 Denarius gold, every week his father gave him money to spend it as he wanted.

His weekly allowance given to him by his father was 100 Denarius gold, the first time she received that amount he looked at his father oddly as his mother working as a teacher earned 5 Denarius silver on the day.

Her father simply told her that she as a princess in the future would have to handle even larger amounts of money from the family's treasury, but she made it very clear that the family's own money should never be confused with that of the empire.

If this were to happen the days of the imperial family would be numbered, remembering the words of his beloved Father took a seat in his VIP seat, to see the play by paying so much for his entrance were also free snacks.

Shee chose a bowl of buttered popcorn and peanut atole to enjoy the work.

The beginning of the work tells how Emperor Flavio was born from the womb of his mother Julia and as he faced since childhood different problems among them the most complicated was fighting against the sea sponge to clean his butt.

Felix spat the popcorn and laughed at the funny image of the dwarf actor who dressed like a gentleman fighting a stick that had a bath sponge while a roll of paper fell from the sky and the musical band played very solemn music.

But not all were laughter, she could also see the suffering of the actor when he learned of his father's death at the hands of the Cantabrian rebels, a scene he never thought he saw was one where his mother went out the door holding her belly.

Despite being a play the tears came from his face while he could imagine how difficult it was for his mother, he never thought that there were also representations of how Hellena suffered for a Roman nobleman.

Felix wanted to go and kill the actor but he contained his murderous instinct because he knew it was a play, although later he enjoyed the death of the name and his family, he could only nod for the great justice that had been done to his mother Hellena.

In the end, the play ended after the actor representing his father went to the sea to found the empire of Nova Roma, what he liked most was the song of the end which was performed by Mariachis.

"Cielito Lindo"

Felix shook his head to the rhythm of the cheerful music that could make her and all the attendees sing in unison:

"Ay, ay, ay, ay,

Canta y no llores

Porque cantando se alegran

Cielito lindo, los corazones"

The song continued for some time and when they finished singing the applause sounded throughout the theater, Felix left the theater with some tears and quite proud of his father and the fact of being his daughter.

On the way he went to the central square where he could see the city quite alive, the merchants had stalls where they sold an incredible amount of sweets, fruit punch cravings like tamales and atole.

Felix did not hesitate to enter the night market of the city, he could see some beautiful dresses made with Hayate fabric which is made with the fiber of the maguey.

It is a fabric that she likes since it is very cool but she knows from her father that the weather will be cold thanks to a punishment that Goddess Naturae launched upon waking, so she has to wait to be able to wear the clothes she likes.

As he moved through the market he bought a tamale of rajas and tamarind water in which he looked around the stalls, he could see some gold earrings with jade inlays that he liked and bought them without hesitation.

She liked many more things which I ended up buying, in the end when I just toured the night market in the central square I had enough wicker bags, she decided to take a carriage that would take her to the palace.

She had a lot of fun at night so after buying a lot of things and trying different foods, it was time to go home because she doesn't want to cause trouble for Aphrodite who offered to help her.

The carriage advanced as far as it could to the palace, under its stuff and paid the carriage driver.

When he finished lowering his things the Praetorian guards ran to help Felix take his things "Please take them to my room, I'll go see my father and mother"

The Praetorian guards nodded and Felix went to the palace but when she entered she could see Aphrodite chatting very comfortably with Hellena and Miyuki, while Flavio was waiting for her at the door.

Felix was ready for some scolding or corrective but Flavio just hugged her "Daughter you don't need to leave without warning, you know we care about you Hellena, me and even Miyuki.

Remember that if you do not want to tell your mother or me where you are going, you can only notify Miyuki and she will keep the secret or vice versa. "

Felix felt his father's hug and let go of a few tears as he nodded ...
