My XX deal with Sister Nero

But what can Vanore do to stop it?

From the moment it planned to let the Administrator of Aosta take the blame, the Senate made one wrong step after another, to the point where now the entire Senate has fallen into a completely passive situation.

"Calm down? Elder Vanore, tell me, how should I calm down?" Looking down at Vanore, Nero snorted coldly and asked, "What use is there for me to keep you, elders?"

"Your Majesty! We are willing to hand over the customs!" Just as Nero finished speaking, a senator suddenly looked up at Nero not far away and said in a trembling voice.

"You..." Vanore turned his head to look at the elder who was speaking, opened his mouth, but in the end, no words came out.

What can I say? How can I say it?

Nero has already put the knife to his neck. If the Senate does not give in at this time... what do you think is more important, money or your own life?

"Customs?" Nero chuckled. It would be great if he could take back the customs for his brother, but the problem was, even if the Senate was willing to give up all the Roman customs, could Nero and Tony afford it?

Nero only had so many capable and loyal ministers under his command, and most of them were sent to Britain to run his brother's province. How many people could Nero still spare to recover the customs?

"I don't care whether you hand over the customs or not. I just want you, the Senate, to agree to one thing for me." Nero looked at Vanore and suddenly spoke.

"Your Majesty, please speak." The only thing he was afraid of was Nero not making suggestions. If Nero was willing to make suggestions, it would mean that the Senate still had bargaining chips and he could still save his own life.

"From now on, I will decide my marriage, and the Senate must not interfere!" Nero suddenly said loudly after glancing at the senators present.

"That's easy..." Vanore was about to nod, but suddenly he noticed something and looked at Nero, his face suddenly looking a little ugly: "Your Majesty, what you mean by this sentence... should be that Your Majesty has someone you like, right? I wonder if Your Majesty can tell me, who is the person Your Majesty likes?"

"It's okay to tell you." Nero suddenly lowered his head, leaned over and whispered a name in Vanore's ear: "Tony Claudius Augustus Germanicus."

Chapter 392: So the object of His Majesty's affection is Your Highness?

It’s actually His Royal Highness the Prince?

Looking at Nero standing in front of him, Vanore's expression suddenly became very interesting.

When Nero said that he would decide his own marriage, Vanore thought that His Majesty had fallen in love with a slave. After all, if that was true, it would be quite troublesome.

What is a slave? It is an object, not even a human being. It is like a boy suddenly brings a gorilla back one day and tells his parents, "This female gorilla is very pretty, I want to marry her!"

Seriously speaking, if your parents don't hang you up and beat you, it means they really love you.

Therefore, from the beginning, Vanore had already made preparations. If His Majesty really fell in love with a slave and wanted to marry him, then as long as His Majesty was happy, that would be fine. Anyway, even if the Senate agreed, the people would not agree. If he secretly exaggerated and said that His Majesty threatened the Senate to force the Senate to approve their wedding, then public opinion might be diverted. In this way, people would not pay too much attention to whether Windex launched a rebellion at the instigation of the Senate.

But what I didn't expect was that Her Majesty didn't play by the rules! She actually...actually wanted to marry His Royal Highness? !

If this happened two thousand years later, Vanore would have come up with no less than ten reasons to stop Nero, such as marriage between close relatives is not allowed and the child born might be mentally retarded, etc. But this was the Roman Empire, the classical era two thousand years ago when medicine was not so developed. Yes, it is true that the Roman Empire did have laws prohibiting marriage between close relatives, but when it comes to bloodline... Sorry, this law may have to give way.

Like Nero, Tony is the adopted son of Claudius, which means that Tony also represents three families, namely the Germanicus family, the Claudius family and the Augustus family. If he marries Nero, then their children, in terms of bloodline, will be the purest!

Will the public object? No.

Not only will the people not oppose it, but they will also be very supportive of it.

First, because of the pure bloodline, the true bloodline of God, and second, because Tony's prestige is too high now, and what about His Majesty? Although His Majesty has the purest bloodline, once His Majesty marries an outsider, will her next generation's bloodline still be pure? So now the Roman citizens are more inclined to pass the throne of the emperor to His Royal Highness the Prince after His Majesty abdicates.

Of course, many people know that His Royal Highness the Prince is unwilling to inherit the throne. In that case, there seems to be no problem in letting His Majesty and His Royal Highness's son inherit the throne?

"I see..." As a smart man, Vanore thought about it for a moment and instantly understood the whole context of the matter.

Ever since His Highness slayed the dragon, Nero has cooperated with the Senate to praise Tony across the country. Although on the surface it was that the empire needed a hero and a role model, but at that time His Majesty's intention was probably to accumulate fame for His Highness to pave the way for subsequent actions, right?

After Your Highness suppressed Parthia, His Highness was almost touted as the reincarnation of Mars in public opinion. After that, all the things that Your Majesty did for Your Highness, such as polygamy and the emperor's man must be a prince, were actually meant to paralyze the Senate and divert the Senate's attention, making them mistakenly believe that Nero had someone else he liked, and to prevent everyone from paying attention to the abnormal relationship between Nero and Tony.

Honestly, Your Majesty succeeded.

Because of His Majesty's previous actions, the Senate really didn't think that His Majesty liked Your Highness, so when His Majesty suddenly attacked at this time, the entire Senate was completely unable to fight back!

Even thinking deeper, could the Claudius family be behind Vendice's rebellion this time?

After all, the general of the Guards who interrogated the three senators was Nero's confidant!

In other words, Nero could make these three senators explain whatever they wanted!

Your Majesty is so scheming!

Vanore understood, or thought he understood, but what could he do? The Senate could refute and reject Nero's proposal based on its own interests, but would the people? The people would not, and they might even think that this was a very interesting thing.

And now that the knife is at my neck, can I still refute it?

In desperation, the Senate was forced to agree to Nero's request that the Senate would not interfere in the marriage of any royal member.

But the prerequisite is that the person to be married cannot be a slave.

……

"Did the Senate agree?" Tony was stunned at first when he heard the good news his sister brought back, and then he asked excitedly.

The biggest obstacle to Tony and Nero's marriage is the Senate. If the Senate agrees, then Tony can start to eliminate Vendice.

Tony's original purpose of keeping Windykes was to bring the war to the Senate. Only in this way could he force the Senate to make concessions on the issue of his marriage with his elder sister. Now that the goal has been achieved, there is no need to keep Windykes.

"It's time to eliminate Windex." Looking down at the map of Gaul spread out on the table, Tony raised the corners of his mouth slightly and muttered to himself.

However, what Tony did not expect was that at this moment, Windykes was in great trouble.

"Dragon...the other party has a dragon!" At the gate of the Governor's Palace of the Lugdon Province of Gaul in Lyon, next to Windex, a young man wearing typical Roman general's armor pointed tremblingly at the shadow of the monster not far away and said in panic: "Governor! There is a dragon next to that woman, she...she is..."

"Shut up!" With some impatience, Wendex held the sword in one hand and looked at the woman standing outside the gate with a gloomy face.

He is holding a huge cross cane in his hand and followed by a turtle-like dragon. With such obvious features, even a fool can guess the other party's identity!

One of the Christian saints, the one who conquered the evil dragon Tarasque, Martha!

No, let's be honest. I'm planning to rebel. This is a capital crime. I know that. So I can understand whether the Germanic Legion comes to beat me or the British Legion comes to beat me. But why are you here to beat me? ! No! I haven't offended you Christians. Why are you here to beat me? !

The first thing I did was to summon the dragon. Let the Tarasque out first. Did you know that you scared away all the soldiers I had gathered with great difficulty? !

PS: Sorry, the wrong chapter was uploaded when updating. This chapter is the correct content.

Chapter 393 It’s time to put the wedding on the agenda!

Martha, one of the saints of Christianity, a dragon-slaying hero, a famous iron-fisted saint... a saint, an idle horse... a big sister. In the beginning, this iron-fisted saint used her own iron fists to influence the evil dragon Tarasque through physics, making it follow her wholeheartedly as a follower.

How could Windex not have heard of the name of this Christian saint who had slayed a dragon in the province next door?

But the problem is, I have never provoked Christianity!

In this era, Christianity is still in a state of being condemned by everyone. After all, the religions in the world are relatively harmonious nowadays. You play yours and I play mine. If it really doesn't work out and we have to get together, then everyone will brag to each other, and then localize the other party's god and make it their own god.

Originally everyone was very harmonious, but suddenly a Christian rushed out and shouted loudly through the server speakers that your gods are all false gods, and only our God is the true God.

Then Jesus was crucified.

The official Roman Empire has always been very disgusted with Christianity and can even be said to be hunting it down all over the world. However, it is different for Windex. Since hearing about Martha's fighting ability, Windex has never dared to make things difficult for Christianity again.

Are you kidding? He can defeat a dragon with just a pair of iron fists. With my physique, no matter how strong I am, how can I compare with a dragon?

So now, I haven't done anything to Christianity, why are you suddenly coming to beat me up? !

Why did Martha suddenly come to Lyon to beat up Vendex? The reason was simple, because Vendex was planning to betray the Roman Empire, and the prince of the empire... was Tony, her adopted brother.

Although I don’t know why my brother didn’t attack Wendykes, as a sister, I must help my brother if I can, so... should I beat Wendykes up first to vent my anger?

Then Windex was confused.

Nero didn't like Martha. In her opinion, Martha was a bitch. If she hadn't taken her brother's thoughts into consideration, Martha would have been nailed to the cross by now.

It was for this reason that Nero never publicized Martha, and even when Tony went to rescue St. Peter, Nero did not say anything to the outside world.

The most direct result of this is that few people know the relationship between Tony and Martha.

For example, now, Windex didn't quite understand why Martha came to beat him up.

"Windykes, you are committing insubordination. Although I don't understand why the imperial government has been leaving you alone, I don't mind sharing some of the worries for the empire!"

Martha waved the cross staff in her hand while speaking, knocking back a Roman soldier who was attacking her with a dagger, and then spoke to Windex.

???

"Sharing the sorrow?" When he heard the words, Windex almost didn't react.

Don't you Christians have a grudge against the Roman Empire? Why are you here to share the worries of the Roman Empire? It's like a mouse coming and saying, "The cat is not feeling well recently, so I'm here to catch mice for it."

Are you kidding me?!

While Windex was stunned, Martha commanded Tarasque to advance dozens of steps. By the time Windex reacted, Tarasque's huge turtle...dragon head was only a few meters away from Windex.

"Retreat quickly!" Seeing the Tarasque rushing towards him, Windex was so scared that he almost sat down on the ground. He almost crawled into the Governor's Mansion, then closed the door, intending to rely on the wall of the Governor's Mansion to resist the Tarasque.

But... can it be stopped?

Forget about the Tarasque, this wall can't even stop Martha, right?

Soon, under the rampage of Tarasque, a big hole was violently smashed in the wall of the Governor's Palace. Then, Windex, who was hiding in the Governor's Palace, was dragged out by Tarasque like a fool.

"I won't kill you, Governor Vendex." Martha looked at Vendex who was held in the mouth of the Tarasque and said, "I don't have any qualifications or power to convict you. All I can do is report your case to His Royal Highness the Prince and let him handle your case."

"His Royal Highness Prince Odeni..." Windex opened his mouth. Although he saw this prince every now and then in Rome, but... Windex dared to bet that none of the elders, including himself, dared to say that they saw through this prince.

While Martha was capturing Vendex alive, on the other side, our little prince was gearing up for battle.

Under such circumstances, the Senate finally chose to acquiesce to the marriage between Nero and Tony, which meant that no one could interfere in the marriage between Tony and Nero.

Since no one can interfere and no one can stop it, then the wedding with my elder sister can be put on the agenda!

……

"Hey, you better behave yourself later, otherwise... I can't save you."

On a street outside of Rome, a young man in a toga was walking forward while looking at another man next to him and said with some dissatisfaction.

"Of course I will behave myself, Boss." The young man raised his hands with a wry smile, revealing two metal rings on his wrists: "You've put this thing on me, how can I not behave myself?"

"Heh, I don't see you being very obedient when you put on this thing. You just came to me and you wanted to make a move on my deputy commander of the Knights. If I hadn't discovered it and intervened in advance, you would have been thrown into the Indian Ocean by now. Before the prison is repaired, it's better for you to follow me."

"Can you blame me?" The young man whistled and said nonchalantly, "It's because your deputy commander is so cute that I can't control myself."

"Okay, you bastard, shut up!" The young man in the toga frowned and said, "When you meet Tony later, or any girl in Rome, you'd better take care of your third leg, otherwise you can't blame me if it breaks. Also, my name here is Rosa, Rosa Stysis, and you'd better give yourself a name, a Western name, don't call me by my real name."

"You are the boss, so what you said is right." The young man curled his lips and said, "But then again, boss, you didn't tell Tony your true identity?"

"Of course not." Rosa shook his head. "The situation was unclear at the time, so I didn't say anything. But now, isn't the time about right?"

PS: I was able to remain calm and write even when an earthquake occurred. I admire myself a lot when I think about it [funny]

Chapter 394: Your Majesty and Your Highness are truly a match made in heaven!

In ancient China, there was a saying that close relatives could be in a closer relationship. For example, the most typical example is the story of Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu, which is a closer relationship.

In ancient Egypt, there was a similar concept of sacred marriage based on blood relations. The wives of every Egyptian pharaoh were his sisters.

Even in Europe, there's the phrase "My vassal's vassal is not my vassal, but my daughter's daughter is still my daughter", or "Call me daughter during the day, and at night..." Ahem, sorry to say more.

In short, in ancient times, whether in Europe, Asia or Africa, there was a custom of marrying close relatives.

In this age when science is not well developed, in this age when blood purity is advocated, marriage between close relatives is undoubtedly a way to ensure blood purity.

For example, the Habsburg family later ruled the whole of Europe with the help of the third leg.

The people of the Roman Empire did not object to the union of Tony and Nero. It can even be said that if news came out that the two were going to get married, the Roman citizens would probably be more excited than if they themselves got married, right?

In terms of bloodline, Tony, like Nero, is a descendant of the family of Augustus and Germanicus, and the heir of the family of Claudius. In terms of status, Tony is a prince, and his position in the empire is second only to the emperor. In terms of merits and honors... I'm sorry, among the several foreign wars since Nero ascended the throne, except for the Egyptian rebellion, which other war was not related to Tony?

In addition to the military, Tony has made achievements in taxation and people's livelihood. It can be said that if Nero suddenly died on the spot one day without offspring, if the Praetorian Guards and the Senate dared not to support Tony as emperor, the angry Roman citizens might directly overturn the Praetorian Guard camp and the Senate Hall!

So if Your Majesty and Your Highness want to get married, let alone the fact that Tony has been crazy enough to create so much public opinion among the people, even if they didn't, the citizens of Rome would not make any opposition.

As for the Praetorian Guards... I'm sorry, the Senate still has some excuse to intervene in this matter, but what excuse do you, the Praetorian Guards, have?

Moreover, Tony now has under his command the Germanic Legion, one of the elite legions of the empire, the First Legion of Odeni with the most advanced weapons, and a powerful Sarmatian cavalry unit. If a real battle breaks out, the Guards may not be a match for Tony's army.

Therefore, the biggest obstacle, or even the only obstacle, to Tony and Nero's marriage is only one.

senate!

Now that the Senate has given in, no one will openly make things difficult for the union of Your Majesty and Your Highness, so engagement and marriage... can naturally be put on the agenda.

"In another month, my brother will be fourteen years old." Gently stroking Tony's head, Nero stood on the balcony looking at the hazy city walls in the distance, and suddenly spoke.

Yes, in one month, Your Highness will be fourteen years old. According to the laws of the Roman Empire, one can get married at the age of fourteen.

Of course Tony knew what his sister's plan was, but...ah, in his previous life he only licked action figures, and in this life he suddenly has to lick real people. Now it seems... a bit unreal?

He felt as if he had fallen asleep in the car, and he was afraid that when he opened his eyes later, he would find himself still sitting on the bus in his customs uniform.
