"I need an explanation, Your Majesty! Why are the senators locked outside like prisoners?"
Seneca angrily questioned Nero.
"Hmm...the reason is simple, teacher. They want to impeach Yu."
The interrupted Nero did not continue his attack in Seneca's presence.
It seemed that even Nero had to restrain himself when facing Seneca.
Seneca entered the Senate promotion system during the reign of Tiberius and became a member of the Senate during the reign of Caligula because of his outstanding oratory skills.
However, because of his excellent speaking skills, and perhaps because of Seneca's affair with Caligula's sister, Seneca was jealous of Caligula, and even wanted to murder him for a time.
Fortunately, during Caligula's craziest two years, Seneca contracted tuberculosis and took refuge in Egypt on the pretext of recovering from illness.
Then Caligula was assassinated by the Guards, Claudius came to the throne, and Seneca, who had an affair with Caligula's sister, was tried in the Senate at the behest of Claudius and sentenced to death.
But because of his lofty status and reputation, Seneca's death sentence was replaced by exile, and he was exiled to Corsica like a certain French emperor thousands of years later.
According to Roman law, having an affair with a noble lady was punishable by death.
However, Claudius's real purpose in banishing Seneca may simply be that he was worried that Seneca would use his position in the Senate to oppose his rule.
When Claudius's queen Meselina was executed by him personally for having an affair, Claudius' niece, Germanicus's daughter, Caligula's sister, and Nero's biological mother--Little Agrippina became his new queen.
With the lobbying of Agrippina the Younger, Seneca's exile was revoked by Claudius and he returned to the Senate, where he also became Nero's teacher.
........
Reminiscent of Caligula's hostility towards Seneca and the scandal between Seneca and "Caligula's sister".
It's really mind-blowing.
cough.
This is just Animusfia's bold guess.
Perhaps Seneca, like Caligula, had a fatherly feeling towards Nero.
What a lucky girl.
"It seems there is still someone loyal to you, Your Majesty."
Animusfia said to Nero.
"I am loyal to no one but Rome."
Seneca said coldly.
Animusfia shook her head helplessly and spread her hands.
"Your Majesty, even if they want to impeach you, you should not be treated like this."
"What if there's another assassination?"
Nero picked up the dagger on the ground and threw it in front of Seneca.
The name of Sextus was clearly engraved on the hilt of the dagger.
This is ironclad evidence of guilt.
At any rate, Sextus should not have brought weapons into the holy senate.
The world-famous Julius Caesar was assassinated by the Senate.
"Sir Sextus and several other senators intend to assassinate Yu and the governor."
"this....."
Seneca was speechless for a moment.
"Where is Sextus and the others? I'm going to go and ask him————"
"Don't worry, Your Excellency, Senator, I have already dealt with the principal culprit and the accomplices."
Animusfia walked up to Seneca, picked up the dagger Nero threw on the ground and said.
"solved?"
Seneca asked Animusfia doubtfully.
"Well, it's solved."
Animusfia snapped her fingers, and arcs of electricity flashed on his fingertips.
"Why did you kill them directly? Even if they are guilty, they should be reviewed by the Senate. What is your conspiracy!?"
Seneca grabbed Animusfia by the collar and asked.
"Teacher, the Governor didn't mean to kill them. I have left Sextus a way out. He is responsible for everything."
Nero's words exonerated Animusphia.
"And it's not me who has the conspiracy at all, Mr. Elder."
Animsfia added.
"The emergence of the United Empire, the fall of Rome, the destruction of the palace and the Praetorian Guard, and the impeachment of His Majesty."
Animusfia freed her collar from Seneca's hand and spoke word by word.
"Don't you think it all happened by coincidence? Lord Lucius Aeneus Seneca."
Seneca lowered his hands from Animusfia's body and his eyes were blank.
"You mean...even the Senate betrayed His Majesty..."
For Seneca, the Senate was not only his lifelong destination, but also Seneca's faith.
In Seneca's eyes, all the beauty of Rome was ultimately condensed in the Senate.
An ideal and beautiful republican tradition.
He had always tried his best to educate Nero.
Not for his own well-being, but for the future of Rome.
It was only after Seneca knew the head of state who could teach the future Rome that he was willing to risk his life and return to Rome from Egypt.
It was undoubtedly a huge blow to tell Seneca now that the Senate, which in his mind was equated with Rome itself, was treasonous.
"…who are you exactly?"
Seneca's eyes regained clarity, and he raised his head again and asked Animusfia.
"Well, it will be difficult to explain this issue for a while. You just need to know that I came from the future."
