Nova Roma Chapter 198 - The challenge for the marriage proposal

Flavio woke up in the morning from the arm of Hellena, Aphrodite and Miyuki quite refreshed after an intense night, they rested in one of the many houses of the island where the great market of Tlatelolco was located which was abandoned by the obligation of the empire.
As compensation to the merchants, they were given commercial positions in the port of Cancun where goods arrive from the three provinces every day so that the merchants were happy of the deal since they would not pay taxes for a generation either.
After waking Flavio walked to the winged room to see his little Bastet sleeping in a crib while Yuma and Erendida slept in separate beds, Flavio sat next to his daughter while kissing her forehead "What do you want for breakfast, my little girl"
Erendida opened her eyes and hugged her father "Good morning dad, I want an egg with ham"
Flavio smiled and put his daughter back in his bed "Go to sleep another time my daughter, your dad will make you breakfast."
Flavio approached his son Yuma and in the same way, I ask him what he wanted to have breakfast the difference is that Yuma did not wake up alone in his sleep he answered his father "I want meat" and he went back to sleep.
Flavio smiled and shook his head as he stood up to go to his daughter Bastet to take her with Hellena and give her breakfast.
While this was happening in the conquered city of Tajin, the inquisitors were investigating the death of some wild animals which were completely dried with blood.
As far as they know in their creature bestiary there can only be two creatures that can cause a living being to become completely dry, one is the vampires but even among the hundreds of species that Empress Hellena brought from the new Tartar could not find a Vampire.
But the other species is called Chupacabra, it can have two forms a version that looks like a dog with large claws and little hair while the second version is very similar to the Aluxes but they have green skin and a face like a sea animal with large black eyes.
The inquisitors the first thing they had to do was inform the headquarters about their discovery, to give notice that there is something that is killing the animals and that reinforcements are required to protect the horses of the strong city.
Those responsible for carrying the news were the Nahual messengers who quickly took it to the capital.
In the city of Angamuco that was next to Lake Chapala, the soldiers were building their respective defenses when they could see in the distance one of the many scouts who travel around the city to report any situation that might arise.
The scout passed over a wooden bridge at the entrance of the city and could see his companions digging a moat around the city to defend the city when he entered he went directly to see the commander of the city.
The commander was a 45-year-old man named Corus had participated in the Arab conquest campaign, he was supposed to be the Legio in charge of the troops in the campaign but Ares decided to take that place.
Corus did not file a complaint because years ago in the Arab campaign his battalion was lost in the endless desert but when they were about to die he asked Jupiter for help.
At that time he could see in the distance the Augusta legion that passed through the place so that day he decided to have respect for the gods because they can help his faithful believers, while he was reviewing the construction of the city wall a scout He approached him.
The scout brought news that some thousands of people are heading towards the city, the scout calculated that they will be arriving in Angamuco in two days, Corus was not happy with the news but the city had enough food to keep a few thousand refugees from the north.
For the empire to send more food and medical services, he sends one of the Nahual messengers to deliver the message in the capital.
While these situations occur in the morning in the afternoon, Flavio was sitting at a table together with Hellena and little Erendida, facing Pilcoatl in his adult version, it was time to speak.
Quetzalcoatl and Mayahuel decided only to watch from afar to see how Pilcoatl tried to convince Flavio and Hellena but more importantly to convince little Erendida.
Plicoatl armed himself with courage and asked Erendida at the table "My little warrior woman, I like how you behave in the face of adversity and I would like to ask you to accept my marriage proposal.
When we are older we both hope we will get married, take care of you and protect you from anything that seeks to harm you, but the most important thing is that I will do it with an oath of blood so my promises will have to be fulfilled or I will die. "
Erendida looked at Pilcoatl with a smile "Pilcoatl you are a very nice baby but my mother says that men have to prove their worth with acts, not with words, you know that at some point I will have to marry as sister Felix and brother Mario.
But I want a dedicated man like my father but who only has eyes for me, while he protects me, I can accept your marriage proposal but there will be 3 conditions if you can fulfill all three I have no problem being your wife.
First, you must finish the imperial palace in just 1 month alone without the help of any gods, my father is a determined person who will build the other two wonders so that the bad people of the fourth dimension cannot enter and harm us.
Second, you will have to accept my orders, you know Dad is very meek with breasts and I like it when he is that way, you will have to use your blood oath to make it happen since I do not want you to be like a dad who goes partying and ends scolded.
Last but most important I want to enjoy my childhood with my parents and my brothers, so we will only talk about marriage when I am 18 years old, I am a woman like my mother very committed to the man I will love for all my life.
But if you dare to deceive me I will use the punishment of grandfather Vitellius on your body to only use you as the creator of babies, I hope you can fulfill those commitments."
Pilcoatl sighed and placed his arm on his chest "The most valuable of a man are the words he says and I will fulfill my queen."
At that moment pilcoatl bit his finger and let out blood with which he made an oath of blood, after this, he looked at Flavio and said: "I will keep my word father, I hope that in this month you can spend time playing while I take care of the construction of the wonder."
Flavio and Hellena smiled and let Pilcoatl do the miracle, Mayahuel had some tears on his face and hit his husband on the side "Why can't you be like our son ..."
