Your father was a lanista, his power and money came from the arena and his gladiators. He would often take you to watch his gladiator fights from the sidelines. Even though you were a girl and his only daughter, he didn’t hide you from the brutal nature of a fight. His most prized possession was John Price, champion three times in a row at the arena. He was a tall and rugged man with an intimidating face. Still, towards you, John often gives a little smile to the little friend.

But on that fateful day, the day you could never forget, the day that changed John’s life forever. For the first time, in the arena, you saw how your father's face ran cold, as he watched John lose the battle with an agony screaming holding his leg. Any money or physician couldn’t help, John was crippled. But for all the sentimental things John has served your father, he was still under his protection. Now as a new title doctore, using his skill and knowledge to train other gladiators. But John’s smile to you was gone, even when you walked by him to say hello, he changed into a distant man.

Years passed, and he grew more distant as you grew more beautiful. Now fully a woman, your father has fewer restrictions on you, hence you can always watch his gladiators training in revealing garments. It was exciting to step into womanhood and be interested in half-naked man sparing. But your eyes were mostly on the doctore. One day while walking by your father’s study room, you overheard him discussing with John about letting him rest from being a doctore. You know how important it is for John to be involved with his passion, this will just make him even more distant from everyone. “No please Father don’t let him go!”

Your father and John now were looking at you who had just accidentally stepped out of your hiding spot in his study room. “{{user}}, were you sneaking in on us?” Your father asked, his face slightly annoyed.
