Chapter 5. The Daughter of Destiny, Imperial Nero
[In 44 AD, Claudius IV executed Messalina, and the conflict between the emperor’s power and the Senate of the Empire reached its peak. ]
[You watched the struggle between the two sides, but did not participate in it, because it was not the time for you to take action. After all, although you are a prince, a 14-year-old prince can only do so much even if he is a genius. ]
[Knowing that in today’s Roman Empire, the emperor, the Senate, the nobility, the religion, and the common people are mutually restrained and complicated, you decided to open a new path and recruit the existence of the Guards. 】
“After the second emperor Tiberius died of illness on the island of Capri, the Guards supported the third emperor, the tyrant Caligula, to ascend the throne.”
“Later, because of Caligula’s tyranny, the Guards killed him, and then let my so-called father, the fourth emperor Claudius IV, succeed to the throne.”
“It must be said that in today’s era, military power is the most important.”
【Knowing how important the existence of the Guards is to the current Roman Empire, and knowing what those arrogant warriors want in their hearts, you have been training some children to join the Guards over the years, and at the same time, you have used your status as a prince to win over key figures among them. 】
【Now, Bruce, the commander of the Guards, Seneca, the advisor, and more than a dozen generals are all under your command, and they have formed a community of interests with you. 】
[I have to say that as a prince of the empire, your identity has helped you a lot. First of all, the emperor and the Senate of the empire are balancing each other. They are eyeing both sides, and no one can break the balance to recruit the guards without being affected by the hostile forces. 】
[Secondly, no one could have thought that a teenager would start to attack the army so early. 】
[No one could have thought that those unruly warriors would actually bow down to you. This is really surprising. 】
“Warfare is the way of deception. In addition to the identity of the prince, the things passed down by our ancestors are really useful to make these soldiers follow me.”
Sun Tzu’s Art of War, Thirty-Six Stratagems, although these things are some theoretical knowledge, they are actually overkill in the current Roman Empire.
Do you know the conqueror king who conquered the world? If he had fought to Kyushu at that time, the Seven Heroes of the Warring States would probably have a lot more tools to use.
Waving the message from the Guards in his hand, Liu Yuan used a very simple method.
The lure of the title of prince.
The struggle between the major parties.
The military tactics passed down by the Donghuang Empire over the years.
And the confidants he cultivated from childhood to adulthood.
These combined have made him what he is today.
“Then… Next, we have to go and see the girl of destiny in this era.”
[In 45 AD, you have already recruited the Guards. You are fifteen years old this year. In three years, you will beYour coming-of-age ceremony, and before that, you want to meet Nero. 】
Domidius Ahenobalbi, this is the cousin of Claudius IV and the biological father of Nero. In other words… Liu Yuan needs to call him…
“Uncle.”
“Your Highness Rhine, absolutely not, I am just an ordinary noble, how can I perform such etiquette for you.”
Looking at Liu Yuan approaching him and bowing slightly, Ahenobalbi is not a fool. Although he and the current emperor Claudius IV are cousins, don’t forget that this is Rome, which is more complicated than Greek mythology. You can find a lot of cousins in a second.
There is no special status because of the identity of Claudius IV’s cousin. Facing Liu Yuan, even if Ahenobalbi has a prominent identity, he still has to do the superficial work.
[Greeting Ahenobarbi, Ahenobarbi didn’t know what you were going to do. ]
[However, facing the emperor’s only prince, who is likely to become the emperor in the future, he maintained the greatest respect. ]
“Uncle.”
Looking at Ahenobarbi, Liu Yuan didn’t waste words, he directly stated his purpose.
That is…
“I heard that you have a daughter, I want to meet her.”

“Daughter? Are you talking about Nero?”
Nero Ahenobarbi, born in 37 AD.
She was supposed to be fostered in her aunt’s house at the age of three because of her father’s death. Because Liu Yuan was in the butterfly effect of the Roman Empire, she is already eight years old this year, but still lives with her parents.
“Your Highness, you like Nero. I will bring her here right now.”
Agrippina the Younger, Nero’s biological mother, is also the granddaughter of Augustus, the first emperor of Rome.
Yes, you heard it right. The granddaughter of the first emperor married the cousin of the fourth emperor. This is the network of relationships in the Roman Empire.
If you throw a brick on the street, you can hit a royal relative.
As a famous poisonous queen in history, Agrippina the Younger is the biggest “contributor” to Nero becoming the emperor of the empire.
No matter what the meaning is.
[For your arrival, Agrippina the Younger obviously thinks that you are attracted to Nero’s beauty. Although Nero is only eight years old now, she has already seen Furong for the first time and still attracted many nobles. ]
[It is an honor to be favored by His Royal Highness the Prince, and she “sells” her daughter to you without hesitation. Agrippina the Younger brings Nero to you. 】
“Nero. Claude…Ahenobarbi.”
As Nero stepped forward, Liu Yuan looked at the eight-year-old girl and sighed that she was indeed the girl of destiny.
Although she was still young, she was alreadyNero’s skin is as soft as water, and his delicate face is accompanied by a pair of green pupils. He is curious about Liu Yuan’s existence, likes Liu Yuan, and looks at Liu Yuan, not knowing what to do.
“Go up, Nero, say hello to His Highness.” Agrippina reminded Nero gently, patting his shoulder.
“Say hello?”
Although he was born in a noble family, because of the personalities of his parents, Ahenobarbi and Agrippina, Nero has never tasted the love of his parents since he was a child.
Except for important days during holidays, she is more like a passerby living here than a lady of this mansion.
Brought to Liu Yuan by her mother whom she had not seen for a long time, she only felt that the big brother in front of her was very handsome, and…
“Nero, I am your brother, you can call me Rhine.”
Kneeling down and touching Nero’s head affectionately, Liu Yuan’s beauty buff was raised to the highest level at this moment.
If you can use data to describe Nero’s favorability, then it would probably be +1+1+1+1.
