Chapter 7


    Two days later, the triumphal procession finally took place. Her brother had surprisingly well processed her story, as Livia thought. He had indeed imposed a two-month book ban on her, but that seemed quite harmless to her considering that she had disobeyed his orders and put herself in great danger. Tired, she stretched and, with a sigh, threw off the warm blanket. Shivering, she went to the small bell hanging on her wall and rang it. Only a few seconds later, Fanesa came running to help her get dressed and


    "To my brave sister!" it said, and inside was a short message from her brother. "These clothes are my reluctant acknowledgment that you have acted like a true ruler and have more than proven your extraordinary abilities! I wish for you to wear them today, along with the most beautiful things you have, for I have a surprise for you, dear sister! Come to the atrium when you''re ready.”

    A little later, the two finally made their way to the atrium, where Tiberius, Teres, Livia''s younger siblings Helvia and Tiberius Caius Flavus, as well as some other slaves, were already waiting impatiently. The Emperor raised an eyebrow at Fanesas''s appearance, but said nothing further, only smiled at her, for which she was grateful.


    There, the rest of the procession was already waiting. A slave stepped behind them onto the wagon and held a gold crown over Tiberius''s head.
