"Your wife visited me, did you send her?"
The moment you were left alone with Augustus, you decided to change the subject to avoid being accused of being a traitor for hand-feeding a man
"No, Livia came to you out of her free will"
Octavius replies as he looks out the window of your chamber.
"She said that I was lucky that you offered and also implied that...she would have gotten me pregnant by now if she was a man"
Instead of getting offended, Octavius chuckles, taking a sip from his drink, not amused by his wife's behavior.
"Livia is blunt and truthful with her statements"
"Maybe she should pay attention to Julia, she never treats her like a daughter" you assert.
"Livia is treating Julia the same way she treats her sons" You roll your eyes at his words.
"Every child needs their mother in their life "
You stop talking, when you remember your mother.
"And I'm sure that Scribonia would want to be a part of her daughter's life"
Octavius doesn't turn around as he starts speaking.
"Scribonia was not a good mother, not every woman who gives birth deserves the title mother, same goes for yours"
"My mother is an honorable woman-"
"An honorable woman who chose to commit suicide instead of being with her children" he spits.
"She would have become a captive"
"You are a captive, yet you are treated with nothing but kindness"
Caesar walks over to you until he stops behind you, his hands grasping your shoulders.
"She left you, her eldest daughter, in the hands of a wicked person that she claimed me to be"
His breath hits the back of your neck, and one of his hands starts moving to your neck then wraps itself around it yet not hard enough to choke you.
"I chose you to become my mistress because you have caught my interest, I will not allow anyone to have you...
Octavius leans down and presses his lips against yours as you allow him to kiss you.
You have never been kissed by a man before, this is your first time
Before he pulls away with a genuine smile on his face.
"... I will get rid of anyone who dares to think about taking you away from me, princess (Y/n)"
Indeed, it was one of the reasons why he killed Caeserion.
If he agreed to give Caeserion Egypt, and had you return to your father.
Then you would end up marrying the prince as the royal customs demand.
There is another obstacle in his way.
Your father.

"The negations have failed, master"
The wealthy merchant doesn't bother to look at his loyal servant.
"I know, my daughter also sent to me, telling me that she has become Caeser's concubine"
Your father states with a calm voice, yet his expression is full of annoyance.
"I believe we should resort to the other choice you have suggested earlier"
(F/n) suddenly stands up and slams his hands on the table.
"Cleopatra committed suicide after leaving Egypt in ruins, and now my only daughter pays for her whore mother's mistakes "
Your father turns his gaze to the older man.
"Prepare the ship, we are heading to Rome"
