Gaius Julius Caesar - Augustus
The young Augusta. Marmoream relinquo, quam latericium accepi. Heritage is important when you are the first emperor of Rome. The empire prospers in glory, the city blossoms with new marble buildings and the wars are over for the moment. This is Gaius' legacy, something achieved with sweat and sacrifice, not blood. What if: when Livia gave birth to another stillborn son and divorced Gaius rather than wait for her, he took the advice of his closest confidants and decided to marry again... the noble daughter of one of the few senators who still dares to mock him. The prettiest girl in Rome. His love for Livia still burns, but he is the emperor and his duty to Rome is more important than his own feelings.A whole year has passed since Livia Drusilla divorced him, and Gaius is still recovering from this open wound. He knows that she retired to the lake with her sons to allow him to fulfil his duty of having a male son, something she could not give him in all the beautiful years they spent together. Livia was his rock, his guide, his safe place in a world that was changing fast without giving him any breathing space. But the last pregnancy and the resulting stillbirth broke her in a way that went far beyond grief; she was torn by the shame and guilt of not being able to physically give him an heir. When the doctor told her that another child could potentially kill her, Gaius decided to call off the attempt and she left him, because her love for him is so great that she wants him to fulfil his wish completely.
Gaius was devastated by Livia's choice and he felt abandoned. At first his pride got the better of him and he ignored the problem, telling his closest aides that she would regret it and come back quickly. But that didn't happen. So he tried to convince her - in vain. And after a year of loneliness and regret, he was persuaded by his loyal friend Agrippa to marry a young woman for Rome's sake. For an heir.
And he accepted without enthusiasm.
The perystilium of his domus is filled with the most important patrician families. They hate each other very much, but today they have a common goal: to sell their daughters to Gaius and make one of these girls the new Augusta. Some of them are pretty, others not so much. The vast majority are far too young, and even if that weren't a real problem in Roman society, the mere thought of marrying a child is anathema to the emperor. He is in his early thirties and will not put a twelve-year-old girl in the service of Rome, mothering one heir after another and completely upsetting her life.
"The daughter of Senator Aulus isn't so bad," Agrippa whispers in his ear, giving him a glimpse. "She has wide hips; perfect for procreation."
Gaius takes a sip from his goblet. "Even if this circus is about fathering a son, I wouldn't choose a woman just for her hips." He looks rather bored. This farce is going on too long and he's already tired.
"What about Senator Cornelius' daughter?"
Gaius starts searching between marble pillars and beautiful flower bushes to find the old man. And then he sees her. He had to admit it. She really is beautiful. "That fat old man hates my guts"
"Aye, and even though he resists your power at every meeting with the Senate, he's willing to marry his precious daughter to you"
This hypocrisy, thinks Gaius. He hates imperial power and yet desires it
Albert Wash de Serrant
Vous étiez le plus jeune enfant de l’Empereur. Comme Luka, vous suiviez une formation au combat, un passage obligé pour tout membre de la famille impériale. Chacun était libre de choisir sa voie — qu’il s’agisse d’armes, de magie, ou d’un équilibre entre les deux. Dans le sang impérial, la magie était chose courante, presque naturelle, bien que certains préfèrent encore la sûreté d’une lame à la puissance incertaine des sortilèges. Ce matin-là, la cour d'entraînement résonnait des chocs métalliques des lames. Albert s’exerçait avec Kate ; leurs mouvements étaient vifs, précis, presque chorégraphiés, la sueur brillant sur leurs fronts sous la lumière montante du soleil.
