"You have grown up into a beautiful young lady, Julia"

"I'm sorry for what happened to Ahmose, he is in a much better place now" Julia comforts you.

"Yes, I know" I mutter, looking through the long hallways.

"Also, I want to take you to see Romulus"

You frown in confusion upon hearing the name.

The only Romulus you know is from Roman mythology.

"Romulus who?"

"Your son" Julia answers unaware that this isn't her brother's real name.

"That bastard" you mutter under your breath, feeling your hate grow for Octavian.

"His name is Narmer not Romulus" you correct her gently.

"So father changed his Egyptian name?"

"Yes, he loves to romanize everything, just like how his ancestors romanized the Greek gods"

Julia chuckles at your statement as you both reach the young prince's chamber.

Once you enter, you see Narmer on the ground with scrolls surrounding him as an older boy sits beside him.

You immediately realize that this is Tiberius.

Tiberius whose Villa Jovis on Capri island is like an inspiration for Jeffrey Epstein's island.

But they could be just rumors because the people who wrote those things about were his enemies.

But would his enemies exaggerat to write that about him?

Well, he was successful in his political and economic life, so maybe they felt jealous.

"Mama" Narmer shouts happily as he stands up and rushes towards you to hug.

You open your arms and pick him to hug him tightly.

Tiberius stands up and approach you with a smile on his face.

"Good evening, Lady (Y/n), we meet again"

You raise an eyebrow at Tiberius who continues speaking.

"I was tutoring Romulus in his studies as my father ordered, hope you don't mind"

As Tiberius delivers his impassioned speech, you catch a glimpse of Julia in the corner of your eye.

She rolls her eyes, obviously bored by what Tiberius is saying. She doesn't even bother hiding her contempt for him.

"His name is Narmer not Romulus and thank you for effort but it won't be needed"

Tiberius nods his slowly at the correction.

"My mother wishes to speak to you privately in the balneum" Tiberius reveals.

The balneum is a private bathing area.

You don't wish to go but you do want to make a deal with Livia.

°°°

"Are you not going to come in?"

"I came here to make a deal that shall please both of us" you declare sitting at the edge of the bathing pool.

"I'm the one who invited you over and yet you make amends" Livia states, narrowing her eyes at you.

"Help me escape with my son"

"And what do I get from this deal?"

"You will have the ability to protect Tiberius' right to become the next Roman emperor"

Livia moves up from the water and sits next to you, resting her chin on her hand as she stares at you.

"You won't leave ever"

"Are you not feeling threatened by mine and Narmer's appearance"

Livia smiles before grabbing your cheeks with one hand, digging her nails into your skin.

"Now, why would I feel threatened by you?"

The small hairs on your arms freeze in shock as she sneers at you.

"Behave and be a good little whore to my husband or I might come and show you how to behave as such"

You couldn't hold your tongue and uttered the next words.

"Interesting. Maybe if you worked on your personality instead of acting like his mother, he might actually love you"
