In the morning Flavio woke up as usual but I notice that Hellena was at his side, at night he could feel as she entered his room to lie next to him, for Flavio this was not a problem no matter who or what if hurting him can feel and act in his defense, hellena is extremely beautiful has a definite face and light hair like wheat, and a very soft and white skin, the only thing that seemed strange to Flavio was that it seemed very comfortable to his side as if he knew him from a long time ago.

During the morning Flavio reviewed some papers related to Lusitania and personal, some were bureaucratic procedures and others were orders of commerce of the family business as orders for sugar and alcohol, this would be completely a normal routine if it were not for hellena who looked calmly as He worked

"Hey hellena, you do not feel tired of seeing me doing the paperwork, you know you can do what you want, you do not have to be boring me" Flavio said while rubbing his temple

Hellena just smiled "I could see you all day and not feel tired, you do not get tired when you see something you love "

Flavio saw her with eyes of doubt " I will not interfere in your feelings even though you are only 4 years older than me, but tell me how you were treated in Rome "

Hellena saw with some fear of Flavio "Is it an order?"

Flavio felt a cold sweat running down his back and a feeling of anger "It's an order, do not worry hellena no one can hurt you with me "

Hellena nodding turned her back to Flavio and took off his tunic showed his back which had a lot of whip marks, Flavio felt helpless and desire to kill the bastards who damaged his fiancee

Hellena with a look Lost said "The august emperor assigned me a midwife who took care of me the first years, but one day she died and I was in the care of an august trusted senator"

She started to cry

"He locked me for years in a room, where Sometimes I was fed others I did not eat for days, only darkness was always making me less saying that I was the daughter of a traitor to the empire when I was angry he would unburden his anger in me with a whip on my back

I wanted to die but among all the suffering the only thing that kept me alive was the words of the emperor and my matron who said that I had a fiancé who would take care of me, all my life was like this until one day I was taken out of that cell and started to be cared for by the emperor, he asked me to forgive him for what I suffered he never realized that his trustworthy person was a shit told me not to worry because he had received his punishment with the lions

I also prepare myself as I would go with my fiancé your grandson, after that I arrived and I met you, in spite of being a child you are my only family, but I am afraid that after listening to my story you leave me alone... "

Before I could continue Flavio I hug her from behind " I can be a crazy fucker but for me, my family is the most important thing you can ask the last of the Cantabrian, they killed father and I exterminates all, I can not return the childhood that was stolen but I can assure you that I will take care of you all your life, as for the wounds on your back, I can heal them if you wish "

Hellena crying nodded her head, Flavio placed her hand on her back and let her divine energy flow through her, the whip marks were cur Adas, at first sight, leaving behind skin as soft as a baby without any trace of damage

"Ready hellena your back has been healed, as for your emotional wounds will have to be cured with time and mother support and mine, remember that from now on you have a family, it can be a bit conventional and even rare but it will support you in what you need and if someone wants to hurt you tell me, I do not care who or whoever is there to protect you and take care of you remember that please "

Hellena turned around from Flavio's embrace and wept on Flavio's shoulder, Flavio followed her hugging while caressing her back "Since you like to be with me I will take advantage to teach you anything that may be useful to you, in the future you will be my right hand and the mother of my children, remember that it is our duty to leave our children a great empire "

he placed the face of hellena in front of his face and wiped his tears with his hand "Don't cry girl your face is more beautiful when you're happy "

Hellena nodded and continued hugging Flavio for a while longer.

During the afternoon of that day Flavio met his uncle who was lying in the armchairs of the table with a bottle in his hand of schnapps, he shouted and asked Arabela to bring him a bucket of water, shortly after he arrived with a bucket which Flavio took and threw it on his uncle July

he woke up with surprise and saw his nephew with a bucket of water, he wanted to teach him a lesson by punching him but Flavio the elusive and he kicked in the face of his uncle that he shot

Flavio thundered his fingers and proceeded to beat his uncle's face until he asked for clemency "Well I hope you're more awakened garbage, you're a dishonor to the family but do not worry your nephew will make you a man who can support the Roman empire, the last thing I want is for you to destroy the efforts of the grandfather and those who preceded him, if that hands to the work I need to see you in the courtyard right now "

Julio nodded with his face bloodied not yet pod to understand how a 5-year-old had so much strength.

After that incident, he started a reforming hell for July, Flavio canceled all his privileges and he had to wake up from 6 am and sleep at 10 pm, to exercise and receive lessons of humility, Flavio always told him

"There can be no libertine emperor with responsible people if you fail the empire fails and if the empire fails the end is near "

All this training lasted 3 months...
