General Aquila
"Now all we need to know is who could have made the poison." Hector whispered as they made their way to their morning training.
Trix had come to hate this part of the day the most since she would often come out exhausted. Although several noblemen who had witnessed one of their sessions had commented on how well she could fight. Trix felt quite the contrary. She often lost to her male opponents and she feared having to face Hector. But today she was excited. It would be the first time she would see her maids fight. They had once been gladiators alongside mistress Maxima. They had chosen to serve the emperor as protectors of his daughter.
"Lady Vitatrix, Lord Hector." One of the men bowed as they entered the courtyard. Trix smiled and nodded to the man before making her way to the group of men to accompany her on her run. General Cato ha

Trix sat on a marble chair in the senate hall. Senator Julian was standing in the center of a circular room. It had been a month since the emperor had sent for Aquila. He arrived just days before at the palace gates and had a tearful reunion with Hector. When news of Juliana's death was told to him while in Gaul he wanted to disobay the senate and return home. Unfortunately he worried that his son would be placed in danger had he gone home."This man is a danger to Roman society. He tricked and seduced my daughter and forced her to break her engagement! He should be sent back to Gaul!" Senator Julian said as he pointed an accusing finger at Aquila."He has served his time senator! I commanded him to return. My will is absolute in this matter." The emperor said from his seat."My fellow
Heiress of Rome Lady Marcella
Lady Marcella was quite a beauty and her family was of good reputation. She was the third daughter and the only one among her five siblings that remained unmarried. Hector spent the night speaking to her about how he was adjusting to society. She showed concern on how he was adjusting to the much larger city after having lived most his life in Clusium."To be honest my dear lady it has been difficult. Fortunately for me I have no longer much need to walk the streets as I used to. I believe I would always be lost if I did so." He jokingly told her. Of course there was some truth in his statement, such as he was definite that he would get lost in the city."Well I must take you around one time. I have grown up within these city walls and I know the best places to be in." Lady Marcella said with the most charming smile he had ever seen.

Also in the care of her maids was a gift in case the engagement between Hector and Marcella was announced. Picking out the gift was heartbreaking to her."Are you well princess?" Lord Felix asked."Yes, I am just tired from my lessons. It would be much easier if Hector was around to assist me." She responded half heartedly."Come, princess the senator has prepared a place of honor for you." Lord Felix then led her to a
Heiress of Rome A Proposal
Trix felt all the guests in the room turn towards her direction. She had spoken too loud and reacted too severely. She appreciated Felix's attention but hearing from Hector's own lips that he assumed they were in a relationship hurt her more than she believed humanly possible."My lady, are you alright? Is something the matter?" Lord Felix said trying to comfort her as if she was a spoiled princess."I am fine Felix." She said to him. Then she looked to the crowd. Their eyes were filled not with concern but with ambition. Many of them sought good favor with her father. The rest simply wanted to be done with him. How many times in the past few weeks had she questioned the intentions of the people around her? How many only saw her as an opportunity and how many truly saw her as a friend? It was only Hector that had stuck with her through thick or thin. He was her friend when she was just some orphan in a small town. But he had changed, Rome had changed him."I lea

Yes she had been knocked unconscious when she was kidnapped but this was different."Princess, are you alright?" A man called out."Yes. I simply lack rest. I will be fine." Trix tried to get up but Felix stopped her. She could see the concern in his eyes."Maybe I should take you home Trix." Felix said with a frown on his face."I'll be fine. Please take me to Lord Hector so I might congratulate him and his future wife.""I am here Trix. Please don't tire yourself." She looked to her right and there was Hector holding bottles of cure

She layed in bed remembering in her mind the dances she shared with Lord Felix, their late night stroll, and even how he had opened up to her that night. She was happy he was there. She would have felt alone and had would have done something irrational.Trix knew that she would have to face the reality of last night's events, but she lay on her bed trying to delay it. Soon Fausta and Cassia came into her chambers to wake her. The two maids were whispering and giggling as they entered her chambers. She could hear the mention of Felix's name and hers."I am up. There is no need to wake me." Trix called out from her bed."We

To commemorate this occasion the emperor has commissioned that a week of celebration be held. Feasts and Fights in honor of his daughters engagement." The crowd cheered. Among them were three women, they had their faces covered and they wore simple clothing.

The night was a blur to Trix. She knew that music was played, that food was served, and gifts given. The only part of the night that stuck to her was the one dance she shared with Hector and the moment he had handed her over to Felix. This is not what she wanted, to be around someone you love but not be able to love him. It hurt her.As her engagement to Felix was to be celebrated in the following days she knew she had to put on a mask of false joy. She knew that any woman would be happy to be engaged to Felix.

Or was it just some cruel twist of faith that had led her to be in this situation at that particular moment?"Trix are you listening to me?" S
