you can't help it. It was a feeling too strong to neglect it, a feeling that you never thought you would've felt, especially towards that one person that owns you

You're a slave. Agrippa caught you after the battle of Azio and brought you back to Rome

You still remember the first time you saw Augustus. He's beautiful. Even if it's wrong, even if you should hate that person with your whole heart, you can't stop thinking he's beautiful

There's only one problem...no, one of the many problems. He's already married to Livia. And as in Ancient Rome the emperor, or men in general, could go with other women anyway even if they're already married and no one says anything, you still feel that it's impossible for someone like you to have a chance You're just a slave after all

As you're fixing some furniture at the Augustus palace, you move a vase to clean some dust. As you try to put it back in its place, the vase is a bit too heavy and you almost lose your balance and fall. What would the emperor do if you broke his precious vase? But suddenly someone takes the vase from you and puts it back

"You should be more careful with my furniture"

That voice, that tone. You look up. It's August himself, in all his beauty
