Claudius' ban

1

The news reached the capital of the British Paris people just 10 days after the decree. There were a group of 32 Judeans that fled to the Province Britain revealed the ban of their kinsmen from Rome by Emperor Claudius. The British Paris tribe were kin to the Gaulish Paris tribe. The tribe had their own king and elders, yet they submitted to Roman rule to retain their autonomy in the new Province Britain. The 32 were not received in the Paris kingdom, but because it was against Roman law to refuse entrance to other Roman citizens, the Paris people redirected them to the Iceni kingdom. The Iceni kingdom is another British client kingdom under Roman rule. In the British Paris kingdom there was a young diplomat with ties to the Kingdom Nerigos (Norway). He immediately send an envoy towards the Nerigos court, with 10 pieces of silver, grain and wine. The envoy consisted out of two diplomats, four servants, the captain of the ship and two horses for the two diplomats. The sailing took only five days before reaching the bay district. The diplomats urge for an import of Nerigoan people into their homeland, to strengthen the ties between both countries. The judges at the Nerigos court advised their leaders not to do it. They claim it might be a trap that might lead the annexation of Nerigos. The said ''the British Paris tribe just wants to drag us into their lot as an occupied region''.

The court of Nerigos didn't decline the request, but they did changed it with their conditions. The Paris leadership would receive 1800 peasants from Nerigos in a period in a 10 month period, 180 peasants a month. These would be the from the ghetto regions of the Nerigos towns. In exchange the Parisi were allowed to build their own consulate in Nerigos, for their economic foreign policy. The diplomats agreed, because this would lead to an advantage on the economic terms. As agreed, 10 months later, 1800 people had been ships to the Paris people. There were an additional 1200 criminals that were deported to Britain. The Nerigos chiefs paid much grain and silver to the Paris nation to get rid of those people. In this manner the Kingdom Nerigos was relieved from 3000 people within a year. At this time, Emperor Claudius had adopted Nero as his son, and the wooden bridge in London was constructed by Roman construction workers.

One of the shipped people was Tamila. Her mother Pia is the Queen regnant of two Urban districts in Nerigos. Her position is only ceremonial with a few economic powers attached to it. After the Lusitanian-Nerigoan principality was abolished, because of the assassination of King Parisius, the two towns remained with their traditional leadership, while being administered by the government of Nerigos. Queen Pia ascended the ''throne'' because her daughter refused it. Tamila was 37 at the time and her mother 58. Tamila lived in a small town at the shores of the Paris people. Her apartment was large with four rooms. With her lived three slaves that she received from her mother: Colonia (21), Sabrina (24) and Verita (alleged 23). These three were sex slaves her mother groomed at the beginning of the reign of Parisius (which lasted only 2 years and 4 months). Except Verita. She has been in Queen Pia's district for longer. She was only 12 when she was lured to Pia's house. Her parents were pirates and never stayed long in one place. Pia send Verita's family brass coins and bronze gifts to her parents. Her parents on turn never asked again for their daughter. After Pia was crowned, Verita became her writer and her chef (cooking and serving at parties). Now, she is cooking also, but for Tamila. Now Verita has free days, something she formerly never had. She uses those free days to visit other towns in the region and to make friends with the local population. Often she baths in the small ponds in the forests near the shores.

One day Verita was cooking some fish dish for dinner, when she saw a ship approaching. It was evening by now. From the window she saw that the ship was Roman and it had some soldiers on it.
