Chapter 12

Today is the day when Nicholas marries Elena.

Vitus is willing to compare the dressing skills of ancient Roman women to the art of curtains and belts. Because a rectangular piece of cloth, after they tuck it here and tie it there, becomes a piece of clothing. And the style is extremely changeable. If you move the binding position slightly, you can turn from a solemn housewife into a sexy beauty. If you move it again, you can turn it into a disheveled slut. It’s amazing.

The hostess and little Potter dressed up. Today the hostess is the hostess, so it’s normal to dress up.

But little Potter is more special. He plays a pedophile today. Yes, the kind of pedophile who offers his asshole to the master. He is wearing women’s clothes today, and he also draws eyebrows and eye shadow, which makes people feel that it is difficult to tell whether it is male or female.

Everything is ready. Elena is also dressed up, and the little Potter in women’s clothes carries a basket full of walnuts, acorns, and cashews.

“Open the door.” Mania said.

The door opened, and a lyre player, a double flute player, three female singers, and a boy holding a pinewood torch were waiting at the door.

The music started, and the singer began to sing: “Come out, bride, if you are willing, please listen to our entreaties, don’t you see how the torch shakes its yellow hair? Come out, bride.”

“Your bridegroom is not frivolous, will not follow the way of lewdness, will not pursue shameful pleasures, your delicate breasts, he will never abandon.”

“On the contrary. Just as the vine will entangle the tree planted next to it, your embrace will also entangle the bridegroom, but time flies, come out, bride.”

“Ah, what joy awaits your bridegroom, how will he rejoice in the short night and the bright day? But time flies, come out, bride Mother.”

“Boys, raise your torches. I have seen the bride’s veil. Sing along in time. Xumenai, Xumen.” (Xumen is the god of marriage)

“Don’t let obscene jokes cause long silences. Don’t let the host’s catamite refuse to give nuts to the children around because he will be out of favor from now on.”

“Lazy catamite, give the nuts to the children. You have played with these fruits for a long time. Now you have to help with the wedding. Catamite, give the nuts quickly.”

The boy holding the pinewood torch led the way. Little Potter distributed the nuts in the basket to the children who asked for them. The wedding team walked out of the house and walked towards the groom’s house.

The singer continued to sing: “Anointed bridegroom, I heard that you find it difficult to give up the smooth-skinned boy, but you must give it up. Xumenai, Xumen.”

“We know that you have only experienced these unforbidden pleasures, but you can no longer do so after marriage. Xumenai, Xumen.”

“And you, bride, must not deny your husband’s desires, lest he seek sweetness elsewhere. Xumenai, Xumen.”

“Look, this is your husband’s home, how rich and festive, please allow it to be your servant. Xumenai, Xumen.”

“With auspicious signs, lift your golden feet, step over the threshold, and enter through the bright door. Xumenai, Xumen.”

There are two large wooden tables in the hall of Nicholas’s house. Friends and relatives are already sitting and drinking and waiting.

Mania took the bride to the steps where the groom was, and said to his relatives and friends: “I, the Vesta priest Mania, marry my slave girl Eleanee to Nicholas, and I give her freedom as her dowry. Goddess Vesta bless their bloodline to continue forever.”

Then Mania held the groom’s hand and handed the bride’s hand to him. She took the purse handed over by the groom and completed the marriage.

Mania stepped down.

The groom put the ring symbolizing the vulva on the bride’s finger symbolizing the penis.

The choir played and sang again: “Little boy, let go of the tender arms of the little bride, the time has come, he will rest in the bridegroom’s bed. Xumenai, Xumen.”

“Simple women who have lived with their husbands for a long time, let the bride lie down and take care of her. Xumenai, Xumen.”

“Now you can come, bridegroom, your wife is already in the bridal chamber, her soft breasts are shining, and her pink vagina is flowing with honey.”

“But bridegroom, may the gods help me! You are as handsome as others. The god of love will not neglect you. The daylight is passing, don’t delay any longer!”

“You have not delayed long: you have come. Good love will bless you. Because you want what you want, and do not hide the joy of proper love.”

“Your sexual games are endless, and whoever wants to count them, let him first count the grains of sand in Africa and the stars in the sky.”

“Have sex as much as you want, and have children quickly. Ancient surnames should not be without offspring, but like eternal springs, with living water flowing continuously.”

“Close the door, girls, we have had enough fun, you kind couple, live happily, fulfill your obligations, and enjoy the rich youth. Xumenai, Xumen. “-Excerpt, adapted from Catullus’s “Songs”

As the chorus closed the door of the bridal chamber, the siblings who were passionately mating disappeared from sight.

Mania, Vicius, and little Porter returned to their home.

Whenever Zeus saw a beautiful girl, woman or even a boy, nothing could stop him from chasing her to the ends of the earth, even if he had to transform himself into an animal as many times as he wanted. Once Zeus was horny, Hera’s jealous roar could no more bring him back than a butterfly could fan a ship back to the harbor.

When Hera discovered that Leto (the daughter of the Titans Phoebe and Coeus) was pregnant with her husband’s child, she asked her grandmother Gaia not to let Leto give birth on any land.

Because she was forbidden to give birth on land, poor Leto sailed on the sea with a big belly at a young age, just to find a place to give birth. Leto begged Zeus at sea, and it was he who put herself in such a terrible predicament.

However, as the king of the gods, Zeus could only establish his prestige by accepting and recognizing the autonomy and self-determination of other gods, so he could not interfere and revoke Hera’s orders or erase her curse. The only thing Zeus could do for Leto was to persuade his brother Poseidon to raise the waves and send Leto’s boat to Delos, a small deserted island floating in the whirlpool and not connected to the seabed, so it could be exempted from Hera’s curse.

Leto gave birth to twins on the island, Artemis (Diana), goddess of the moon and hunting, and Apollo, god of the sun.

In 212 BC, the Battle of Cannae was a disastrous defeat, and the Romans needed the help of God to turn the tide of the war with the Carthaginians. Referring to the oracle in the prophecy book, they held a series of competitions that year to pay tribute to Apollo, praying that Apollo would bless them to repel the Carthaginians and protect the Roman Republic from any dangers they might face.

The sacrifices were prepared by a committee of ten in the Greek way, including a young bull dedicated to Apollo, two goats dedicated to his sister Diana, and a heifer dedicated to their mother, all of which had gold on their horns.

July 13 Apollo Festival

“You carry the load, I lead the horse; we welcome the sunrise and see off the sunset. We flatten the bumps and make a road, and after fighting the hardships, we set out again. La la - la la la la la la la, spring, autumn, winter and summer, and sweet and bitter; where is the road? The road is under our feet.” Vitus sang at the top of his voice.

They were on their way to Sextus’s farm to attend a banquet.

The hostess hired a sedan chair with a roof, and four sedan bearers carried it. Porter, dressed in women’s clothes, and Vitus walked.

Wetus gradually began to understand why there were so many bizarre things in this world. Because this world is too slow, the information that can be obtained is too little, and the places that can be visited are too limited. So that any mental stimulation is precious.

Since the last time he watched a play, Vitus has also become addicted to watching plays. If he doesn’t find some fun, time is too hard to bear. He also fell in love with cooking. Yesterday, the egg-filled pancakes he made were a big success, and the whole family loved them. The hostess said she wanted to rent a shop to open a store. She was also bored and was willing to make this little profit just to kill time.

Rich people have full stomachs, but hungry brains. The brain craves information and stimulation. When people are really bored, they are willing to try anything new and exciting.

After leaving the city, Porter, who was dressed in women, pointed his finger, and Visius saw the manor on the distant hill. But the mountain is too far away, and after walking for half an hour, the manor seemed to be still far away. Perhaps it was because the banquet was so rare, the cost of the host to prepare and the cost of the guests to attend the banquet were very high, so everyone hoped to have a good time. Even Visius hoped that there would be exciting performances at the banquet. Just like eating white flour buns for a week, it would be good to have a bite of pickles.

When the hostess asked Porter to dress in women’s clothes and ordered him to stick his butt to her, Visius felt that there would be a dignity problem at first, but later at Elena’s wedding, he found that Porter was obviously enjoying it. He was not angry when being called a pedophile. Perhaps being a pedophile meant being loved by the master?

Weisius found that he felt awkward everywhere because he brought the values of two thousand years ago here. The fact is that what he thought was taboo was not taboo here. What he thought was not taboo might be the taboo here, such as he asked everyone to sit together for dinner, which offended both the master and the slave.
