From then on, the girl named Lucius died completely, and no one would call her by that name again, and this boy named Nero replaced her.

Nero Claudius, descendant of Augustus, son of the Emperor...

Nero was silent for a long time: "I saw my mother applauding behind the emperor. She saw my gaze, smiled and nodded at me. I also smiled at her, thinking that all this is over..."

She paused, raised her head with a wry smile, and looked at Neos, "...But I didn't expect that this was just the beginning of all tragedies."

(Remember, Nero's original name was Lucius...)

"So, you hate her?" Neos said.

"I don't hate it, how could I hate it?" Nero shook his head.

Neos looked at her to make sure she was telling the truth.

"And on the contrary, I'm probably the only person in the world who loves her."

Nero smiled shallowly, "I know her sacrifices and everything she has done so far, so I have always listened to her words and worked hard to be a good emperor."

Neos was slightly surprised.

Seeing his expression, Nero was a little embarrassed, "Don't look at me like this, in fact, when I first became emperor, I was very popular."

"Well, I can tell." Neos nodded.

"But maybe it's the rebellious period, or maybe it's really out of control. In recent years, the conflict with my mother has become more and more serious." Nero curled his lips and sighed.

"It's too late for the rebellious period in your 20s." Neos nodded.

"Yeah, that's why I found an outlet for art, because only on the stage, I can play a girl and sing whatever I want..."

Nero smiled wryly, "It's just a pity. For those nobles and veterans, the emperor singing and acting on stage is equivalent to seeing prostitutes dancing."

"Heard you say, you've been on stage and you've been criticized?" Neos asked.

"Ah, it was my best friend who persuaded me to take the stage,"

There was a gentle smile on Nero's face, "Akti, she is a personal slave who grew up with me. She knows my true gender and is the first person who truly understands me."

"Let me guess, your friend advised you to be yourself boldly, let you protect your dreams and hobbies, and even let you perform on stage,"

Nios said, "Then the senators were furious, which directly led to your mother punishing her?"

"Nothing can be hidden from you, can it?"

Nero bared his teeth at him, "But that's one of the reasons why I was sent to this island!"

"Well, no wonder,"

Neos nodded knowingly, remained silent for a while, and looked directly at the girl, "Then, do you regret being sent here?"

"It was annoying at first..."

Nero pouted his chin and sighed, then tilted his head, "But if I do it again, I will still make the same choice."

Neos was taken aback.

"Because a girl told me that if I hadn't experienced everything in the past, I wouldn't have met you now!"

Saying wow, Nero grinned at him, blinked his right eye playfully, and his pupil light shone slightly, as if the moment a flower bloomed.

This was an amazing moment, but this time Neos didn't look away.

He no longer looked away in a daze, but stared at the girl calmly, neither sad nor happy, just like a person who has heard a good story.

"What are you looking at?" Nero felt a little uncomfortable, turned his face away, lowered his head, his face was a little red.

"No, I just realized now that you have long hair." Neos chuckled.

"You just found out, it's been a few months!"

Nero was a little dissatisfied, shook his head, and brushed the blond hair around his ears with his hands, "After all, you said you like long hair..."

"You really remember everything I said." Neos sighed.

"Hmm~"

Nero winked at him, "So, how can you thank me, be my slave or fall in love with me?"

"Is there a difference between the two?" Neos couldn't help laughing.

"Yes, I like you. If you don't like me, I will tie you up as a slave. When you like me, we will fall in love." Nero raised his chin and said.

"But it's you who's tied up now."

"That's why you like me!" Nero said firmly.

Well, let her circle back again.

In the rebellious period in his 20s, he accepted death like a child. Although it is cute, it is actually quite annoying.

Neos was silent for a moment, intending to shatter the girl's fantasy, so he said seriously, "Do you know that we are at war with Rome?"

This sentence hits the nail on the head.

Nero was stunned for a moment, his face changed slightly, and he looked away, "I know!"

"I ordered the execution of many Roman soldiers, and I may kill more Romans in the future, do you know?" Nios said.

Nero lowered his head and remained silent.

"The reason why I tied you up is to use you to delay time and to use you as a bargaining chip in the future, do you know that?" Neos struck three times.

"..."

Neos' expression turned cold, "I'm using you, do you know that!"

At this moment, he was like Nero's queen mother who ruled the world, fully releasing the unique majesty of a powerful person.

Nero froze for a moment, his eyes trembled a little, looked straight at him, and raised his chin stubbornly: "So, don't you like me?"

"Never liked it."

"I do not believe!"

Neos frowned, "Up to you."

His attitude was as cold as ice, although it wasn't negative, but it didn't matter the attitude, this impatient expression was more hurtful.

"..."

Nero trembled all over, his head lowered little by little, like a small animal, his shoulders and back retracted, as if crying.

No, she actually cried.

His whole body trembled slightly, and he kept wiping the corners of his eyes with his hands, but bit his lips firmly, not crying out.

Neos softened for a moment.

I remembered that the girl told me before, why she was not born in Britain, and why the place where Neos descended was not Rome...

But some fate missed it, and it was useless no matter how reluctantly.

As he remembered a book said, "Missing is not a mistake, but a passing."

The girl named Lucius has always been a dream too far away, remembered in this forgotten tomb, and continued in this country of fog that hangs alone overseas.

It's just that the dream will eventually wake up.

Now that Neos woke up, he just heard a good story, some sympathy, some pity, some touch...but that's all.

Because in his heart, the mission to make Britain independent, the promise to the old man, the kindness of the monarch and his ministers, and the bond between master and apprentice are far greater than the sudden love of a girl.

So there was no consolation, no confession, Nios got up, picked up the gem on the table, and said simply, "Let's go."

This time, Nero was angry, "I'm not leaving!"

"We still have a task to find clues." Nios said with a blank expression.

"That's your mission, Britain's mission, it has nothing to do with me." Nero turned his head away.

"Really not going?"

"Don't go."

"You will die here alone. There are dirty things in this wood."

"The person I like doesn't like me, so what if he dies here, anyway, so many people accompany me." Nero crushed his skull to vent his anger.

"..."

Neos was silent for a long time, didn't say anything more, didn't sigh, just wiped his body and left.

After a while, Nero sniffed and turned his head.

I found that the man really left without saying anything, ruthless and ungrateful.

Nero wrinkled his nose severely, and suddenly the thick wall in his heart was cracked. Uncomfortable, wronged, and sorrow came up all at once, and tears welled up in his eyes.

But she just kept blinking, wiping away tears, and biting her lips, just not to cry.

Don't cry, don't cry, that bastard must be watching from behind, don't show him embarrassment!

In a few seconds, the griffin who was tired from playing by the tree suddenly got up.

The movement was quite loud, which startled Nero. When he turned his head, he saw the bird look up and around, screamed, flapped its wings, and flew away with a huff.

"Even you have to go..."

With a soft murmur, Nero couldn't help but think of his whole life, which has been arranged by others since he was born...

I can never get what I want, and the people I like always leave one by one.

Dad and Aunt are like this, Claudius is like this, even he is like this...

Then I couldn't help it anymore, a choked sob, tears finally welled up in my eyes.

So she didn't care about the bones around her, or the dust on the table, the girl put her arms on the stone table, buried her head, and her whole body started to twitch, tears streaming down, dripping on the white bones.
