My XX deal with Sister Nero

After all, Tony would not stay here for more than a few days before returning to Britain.

"Well, thank you for your hard work, Sister Tita. If you don't mind my place, you can stay here for the time being." Tony sighed and said seriously.

"Disdain? No, no, no..." Tita subconsciously stood up and waved her hands, looking at the luxurious palace and said, "How dare I disdain Your Highness's palace..."

"Huh?" Tony was stunned for a moment when he saw Tita's nervous look, then he suddenly realized, "Don't be nervous, I'm just being polite. How about this, you stay here now, and I'll go back and talk to my sister, and I'll see if I can arrange something for you." Tony scratched his head and said.

Roughly calculating the time, Tony should stay in Rome until after the New Year, and then return to the town of Oddney. By then, his castle should be completed, right?

But even if the castle was completed, what fun would there be in this desolate town of Odney? It was also hard and tiring. If I hadn't planned to do it, I would have gone to that little broken place instead of staying in Rome!

So you can suffer by yourself, there is no need to bring Tita over to suffer with you.

"Eh? Ask His Majesty to make arrangements?" Tita stood up in panic and shook her head vigorously, "How can this be possible? His Majesty is busy with all kinds of things. I just have a small problem. It's not good to disturb His Majesty, right?"

"No, no, no, I really hope you can disturb His Majesty!" Tony quickly stood up and glanced at the huge open-air theater being built not far away. Tony subconsciously said, "If I don't find something to disturb Her Majesty, I'm afraid Her Majesty will hold her first solo concert at her birthday party. According to the style of Her Majesty's birthday party, all the generals and nobles of the Roman Empire will probably be wiped out by then..."

"...Ah?" Tita was stunned, not understanding what Tony meant.

"It's okay, it's okay. You don't have to worry. My sister is very easy to talk to. I'll find you a place to live in Rome and give you a fixed amount of money every month so that you can support yourself. Isn't that good enough?" Tony coughed lightly and skipped a topic that could no longer be continued.

"Ah...Brother, you don't want to live with me...Well, brother, you are a prince, how can you live with a commoner like me?" Tita looked a little disappointed.

"Fuck..." Tony rubbed his forehead. Fortunately, Tita was still young and what she said was unintentional. If she was a little older, Tony would almost suspect whether Tita was the type with deep scheming.

"Sister Tita, it's not like that, it's just that I..." Tony scratched his head, not knowing how to explain.

"In fact, His Highness does not live in Rome. He currently resides in the British province." At this time, Jie Luo, who had been playing a background role and remained silent, finally spoke.

"Britain?" Tita opened her eyes wide, looked at Tony in disbelief and said, "Brother, are you crazy? Why did you go to that place when you can stay in Rome?"

Although the British Empire once became the center of the world two thousand years later, now the core of Europe is Italy and Greece. Britain? Oh, that's the countryside in the countryside.

"There's no other way, sister. The situation in Rome is complicated right now, and there may be greater variables in the future, so I need to hide in a remote place, or I need to build a force of my own to deal with possible variables in the future." Tony sighed and said seriously.

"Future variables?" Even if Tita was stupid and ignorant, she could hear the seriousness of the problem.

A prince is needed to build up his own power away from Rome. In Rome, there will definitely be bloodshed in the near future!

"Then...my brother is alone in Britain..." After a brief panic, Tita suddenly calmed down and said to Tony, "Brother, you are still young. I am worried about you being alone over there. You probably can't take care of yourself, right? I think I can go to Britain with you. At least, as your sister, I can take care of your daily life."

"That's not necessary, Sister Tita. I am still a prince after all, and I have many maids to take care of my life. After all... you love me." Tony looked proud.

Looking at Tony's proud expression, Tita looked a little lonely.

Yes, no matter what, Her Majesty the Emperor is still his biological sister.

Tony is not stupid, it's just that his emotional intelligence sometimes drops off. Looking at Tita's lonely expression, Tony pondered for a moment. If the Guards or the Senate revolt in the future, Rome would undoubtedly be a very dangerous place. Tita is not an emperor, nor is she any official. She has no subordinates and no ability to protect herself. If a war really breaks out at that time... Tita, her life would be in danger, right?

It seems...it would be better to bring her to Britain?

Just when Tony was hesitating, a guard suddenly came to the door, stood there and bowed his head to Tony in the room and said, "Your Highness, the Governor of the Spanish Province, Galba, wants to see you."

Galba? Tony was quite surprised to hear this name.

Tony was not very familiar with Galba. He only knew that he was enthroned as emperor by the Praetorian Guards shortly after Nero's death, officially starting the Four Emperors' Civil War period. He was later killed by Otto.

"Let him in." Tony thought for a moment. Although he had no connection with Governor Galba, it was difficult for Tony to directly refuse his sudden visit.

Soon, under the guidance of the guards, the fifty-year-old Spanish Governor Galba came to Tony, bowed slightly to him, and said, "Galba, the Governor of the Spanish Province, greets His Royal Highness."

"Governor Galba, there is no need to be so polite." Tony did not dare to be careless with this seemingly kind old man. Although in history Galba succeeded in his rebellion and became emperor, which even Galba himself found puzzling, but the fact that he was able to sit in the position of provincial governor showed that Galba did not simply rely on his aristocratic birth.

"I wonder what the Governor is talking about that has brought him here to see me?" Tony asked with a hypocritical smile.

"Your Highness, I am here to apologize." Galba still did not straighten up, but maintained a respectful attitude and bent over to say.

"Apologize?" Tony was stunned for a moment, and soon understood what Galba meant by apology.

The last time, Tony had just arrived in Rome for a few days. Because of Boudica, he had a conflict with the second-generation officials of several noble families. One of them revealed his identity. Yes, it was the young man from the Galba family.

As one of the ancient noble families in the empire, the Galba family was indeed prosperous and, with the Spanish province as its center, it controlled the military and political power of almost the entire western part of the empire. However, this did not mean that the family had the capital to confront the royal family.

Besides, the younger generation of his family made the mistake first, so there was no need for him to offend His Royal Highness the Prince over these trivial matters. After all, Galba heard that His Majesty the Emperor seemed to love his younger brother very much.

"Yes, Your Highness. A few months ago, a young man in the clan had a conflict with Your Highness, and it was because he was at fault first. After returning from the police station, I asked his father to punish him. But having said that, Your Highness...it would seem a bit unreasonable if this old minister does not come and apologize in person." Galba said with his head lowered.

"Huh?" Looking at Galba who kept his head down and didn't dare to look up, Tony touched his chin with a strange look on his face.

Why does Emperor Galba, who ended the Julian dynasty in history, look... so cowardly?

After all, Tony is just a history enthusiast. He may know a little about some famous emperors in the history of the Roman Empire, but he doesn't know much about Galba.

Galba, compared with the emperors before and after him, this guy is simply a big coward!

In 68 AD, Nero planned the Greek autonomy incident, attempting to seize the Greek province from the Senate. This move triggered a strong backlash from the Senate. One of the senators of the Senate, Wendex, the governor of the Gaul province, decided to rebel. But the problem was that Wendex had no troops under his command except a group of old brothers in the Gallic tribe, and there were six Roman legions stationed around him!

What to do? Simple. Comrade Wen decisively copied and pasted a letter to all the governors of the Roman provinces, saying that he was going to rebel, and everyone should join him to overthrow that son of a bitch Nero!

Perhaps they thought that Old Wen's rebellion was doomed to fail because he had no soldiers, or perhaps they were truly loyal to the Roman Empire. In any case, soon after receiving Old Wen's letter, everyone did the same thing almost at the same time.

What the hell? Are you going to rebel? Come on, it's time to report it!

So Nero received a bunch of letters of accusation, indicating that Comrade Lao Wen was planning a rebellion.

Among all the governors in the Roman Empire, it was naturally impossible for Windex to report himself. Besides him, there was another governor who did not issue a letter of accusation.

That’s right, it’s the Spanish Governor Galba.

When Galba received the letter from Windex, he was devastated. Why did you drag me into this? Galba wanted to report Old Windex directly, but then he thought, what if the letter was handed in, and Comrade Nero suspected me and thought that Old Windex was rebelling and dragged me into this? What if I was actually a traitor? What if he killed Old Windex and killed me too? What would I do?

So, Galba decided not to report it.

So the question is, everyone reported it, but you, Galba, didn't report it. What do you mean? Are you planning to rebel?

Old Wen found Galba and quickly told him, "Brother, rebel now! If you don't, you will be killed by Nero." Galba heard that he had to rebel now, so he led the Spanish legion and followed Windex in the rebellion.

As soon as Gaul and Spain rebelled, the six Germanic legions around the Gallic province laughed.

I've been waiting for you to rebel for a long time!

My god, we have six legions with tens of thousands of people stationed in these godforsaken places. We have long wanted to go to your rich places to rob them. I won’t say anything more. Come on! Let’s fight! Numa Ling… Sorry, I went to the wrong set.

Ahem, anyway, after a fierce fight between the two sides, Lao Wen knelt down, and Galba saw that the situation was hopeless, so he said nothing and quickly prepared to commit suicide by taking drugs. If he didn't commit suicide, he could only sing a song "Liang Liang" to himself!

However, just when the rebellion was almost put down, the Senate suddenly jumped out and announced that you, Nero, are the enemy of the people, and then gave Nero a 666.

That’s right, the so-called “666” devil in Christianity originally referred to Nero.

Not long after the Senate issued this decree, the first to react were not the Senate’s army or Nero’s direct troops, but the Praetorian Guards. The Praetorian Guards immediately announced that they would say nothing more and they didn’t want this damn emperor anymore!

The useless dog emperor can be thrown away just like that!

Amidst the laughter and joy, Nero inexplicably typed GG.

Then, on June 68, 6 AD, Nero, who had escaped from Rome, cut his own throat with a dagger in his villa in the suburbs.

Then... Galba, who was about to die, somehow succeeded in his rebellion! He even became the emperor!

This is the historical Galba, an indecisive and cowardly being.

It’s a pity that Tony doesn’t know such interesting history.

PS1: I would like to recommend two anime to you, both of which are available on Bilibili. One is "Understanding FGO from Comics" by Yueliang Shenjing. Yes, this thing has been animated. The other one is "The Monarch: El-Melloi II Case Files". Well, Zhuge Cunfu, who always works overtime, has worked overtime again this time.

PS2: I said there will be new rewards this month. I currently owe 97 chapters. Considering that I have applied for recommendation, I will increase the reward. Within this month, if the collection increases by 1000, one more chapter will be added; if the recommendation votes increase by 1000, one more chapter will be added; if the monthly votes increase by 300, one more chapter will be added. Well, that's about the additional chapters.

Just like what a reader said before, you may not be interested in my elder sister, but you may be interested in my younger sister. If my reader group reaches 100, I will post my younger sister's photo. If it reaches 499, I will bring my younger sister in, but you are not allowed to tease her! She is only in the third year of high school, still a child.

One more thing to add, the group number is in the introduction, you can check it out yourself!

Finally...if the reward reaches 2000RMB, then I won't say anything. As for women's clothing, if it reaches 5000RMB, you can tell me what you want me to dress as, but I have to make it clear that I won't do anything that's too revealing.

Well, I set such a high reward to discourage you from asking me to dress like a woman!

Women's clothing doesn't exist!

Chapter 84: The Future Emperors... (Additional update 30)

Although Tony didn't know much about Galba, there was one thing he was sure of, that is, no matter what kind of personality he had, this time the junior had offended Prasutagus. On a larger scale, this had destroyed the strategic layout of the Roman Empire in Britain. On a private level, attempting to attack His Royal Highness the Prince was an offense to His Royal Highness the Prince and to the royal family. Whether in public or in private, if the Galba family did not take some compensatory measures this time, they might really be finished!

So after dealing with that junior, Galba came in person to apologize to Tony.

"You don't have to be so polite, Governor. Young people are bound to do something out of line when they get confused. Don't worry about it." Tony waved his hand and smiled at Galba.

Hearing Tony's mature words, Galba's heart was slightly moved.

This little guy is not simple!

Although Galba was a bit timid and hesitant in doing things, as the governor of a province, his vision of people would not be too different. How old was Tony? He was just over 12 years old, less than 13 years old, still a teenager. With such a half-grown child, those little brats in his family of the same age were clumsy in what they said and did. Look at this prince, he was very careful in what he did and said, but his mature attitude was enough to make him look down on his peers!

"Your Highness Su Wen guards the border for the empire. Also, because the younger generation in my family offended Your Highness before, I have specially selected a batch of gifts to give to Your Highness on His Majesty's birthday as a token of my gratitude." As Galba spoke, he took out a piece of parchment from his arms, still bent over with his head down, and slowly handed over the parchment in his hand.

Tony glanced at Tita who was standing beside him, and then he pointed to Galba and said to Tita, "Sister Tita, can you help me take the sheepskin scroll?"

Sister Tita? After learning that his younger generation had offended the prince, Galba secretly investigated Tony and learned that when he was wandering in Macedonia, Antonio's family had briefly adopted him, and Antonio's biological daughter was Tita.

But shouldn't she be in Macedonia? Why is she here?

Naturally, no one answered Galba's questions. After taking the parchment from Tita, Tony shook it gently, unfolded the scroll, and carefully looked at Galba's gift list.

Spain was a famous rich province, so Galba gave him a lot of gifts to apologize for his sins, including one thousand gold coins, fifty fine war horses, thirty cattle and sheep, and other weapons, equipment, and minerals. All in all, the value was about one thousand five hundred gold coins.

Looking at the gift list and then looking at Galba who was standing in front of him with his head lowered, Tony couldn't help but frown.

This gift is so precious!

Such a huge amount has far exceeded the concept of "compensation"!

"It seems that Governor Galba is planning to invest in himself." Tony touched his chin and muttered to himself.

Tony was not very clear about what kind of person Galba was in history, but he knew one thing. As the first empress of the Roman Empire and even the only female consul from the beginning of the Roman Monarchy to the present, there were very few people in the imperial government who were convinced by her. It was simply because she was indeed a royal family member, a direct descendant of Augustus, a descendant of the god Romulus, and the bloodline of the god of war Mars left in the world. It was precisely because of this bloodline issue that the governors and officials in the imperial government did not dare to openly resist her.

So what if she is the descendant of God? She is just a woman after all!

Of course, most of the governors were merely dissatisfied with Nero, mainly because of her female identity. However, the Senate and some governors who had some ulterior motives were more than just dissatisfied.

Compared to Nero, Tony's male identity also has considerable succession rights to the throne, and he is still a child. Even if he has some wild ideas, so what? Does it mean that he can govern? Can he handle government affairs? At that time, won't he only rely on the Senate?

Therefore, for the Senate, Tony is the stepping stone for the Senate's rapid rise!

Although Galba was a little timid, he was not stupid. He had always been watching the confrontation between the imperial power and the Senate, but he did not take any action and did not clearly indicate which side he should stand on. But now, he has chosen to take side.

That's right, he stood on Tony's side.

For Nero, Tony is his younger brother, the only relative around him now, and the person he must protect. For the Senate, Tony is a stepping stone for his own success. Before returning to the Republic era, Tony is the person the Senate must protect.

Well, although the motives and goals of the imperial power and the Senate are different, they all want to protect Tony. In other words, no matter who wins, Galba will win with Tony's vote!

He chose not to offend either side.

Although Tony didn't fully understand what Galba was trying to do, he could see that Galba was taking this opportunity to apologize to "invest" in himself.

But the problem is, Tony... is a shameless man!

Tony naturally accepted the investment in full. Just kidding, not to mention the war horses, even these thirty cows and sheep and some chickens, ducks, fish, dogs, cats, etc. would be enough to make life in the small town of Odney a little more comfortable, right?

However, Tony may not necessarily help people get rid of their troubles when he receives money. He can help with some trivial favors, but if they want to join in a rebellion or something... forget it.

After sending Galba away, Tony scratched his head, glanced at Tita who was standing beside him, and finally slapped his forehead and said, "Forget it, I'll take you to the British province first. The situation in Rome is getting more and more complicated. If something goes wrong and you get hurt, I will feel bad."

"So, brother, do you agree that I can go to Britain with you?" Tita's eyes lit up. In this world, Tita now has no relatives. Apart from the Iron Fist Saint who is traveling somewhere unknown, the only one she can rely on is His Royal Highness the Prince of the Roman Empire.

"Is that... an agreement?" Tony sighed, glanced at the indifferent Zero next to him, and thought for a moment. Although Rome is prosperous, a bloody conflict is likely to break out in the near future. By then, the entire city of Rome will be in danger. On the other hand, although the town of Odney is remote, at least its safety can be guaranteed, right?

"Okay, anyway, you can stay here for the next few days. As for my sister... I'll talk to her." As he spoke, Tony called a guard standing at the door and asked him to take Tita to the guest room.

Soon, it was December 15th, the birthday of His Majesty Nero.

The whole country celebrates the emperor’s birthday.

As we all know, the first few years of Nero's rule over the Roman Empire were the most prosperous years of the Roman Empire. Military, politics, economy, culture, all aspects reached the peak of the Roman Empire. In Tony's understanding, looking at the entire Roman Empire, perhaps only the period of the Five Good Emperors of the Antonine Dynasty can be compared with this period, right?

"I'm seventeen years old..." Standing on the balcony of the palace, Tony looked at the crowds of Roman citizens in the central square in front of him, and then looked at Nero standing next to him. He was wearing the emperor's mythological ceremonial costume, with a warm smile on his face. From time to time, he raised the glass in his hand and gestured to the crowd.

Share the joy with the people.

"Brother, look, this is the Roman Empire under my rule! Looking at this passionate Rome, I really want to sing a song!" Nero patted Tony's shoulder gently and sighed.

“Puff…” singing???

Hearing this, Tony was so scared that he spat out the orange juice in his mouth.

Are you kidding me? Oh my god! Karthus is going to go all out!

"Your Majesty, your singing voice is beautiful. If you sing a song now, I think the citizens will be extremely excited!" Just as Tony was about to ask Nero to give up this evil idea, behind Nero, a middle-aged man who looked to be in his early forties took two steps forward with a flattering look on his face, bent over, and spoke respectfully to Nero.
