Crusader Kings: Prisoners of War

I originally thought there would be a quarrel between the two parties, but it turned out that Nerva really seemed to come to say hello, and was also very anxious to watch the show. After going through the cutscene, he returned to his seat and began to wait for the performance.

When Orville saw this, he shut up and started waiting, but at the same time, he looked back at Belisarius behind him, and suddenly he felt a strong curiosity in his heart.

He called the honest warrior over and asked, "Are you married now?"

Belisarius didn't know what Orville was causing, but he simply replied: "No, I am busy with military affairs and I don't have time to think about too many other things, so I have always been single."

"Then do you like going to the theater? Do you know the people there?"

Belisarius shook his head: "I'm very busy with work, and I don't have time to go to the theater. Besides, I really can't appreciate the beauty of theater, so naturally I don't have friends in the entertainment industry, but Prokopius seems to know a few. I I can ask him for you.”

"Forget it, just pretend I didn't ask." The hanging heart finally let go, the Belisarius of this world has not yet cuckolded.

Procopius wrote extensively about Belisarius's deeds, and his "Secret History" also recorded many trivial matters about Belisarius' love life. Now almost all Eastern Roman history buffs around the world know that Belisarius Lisarius was cuckolded, and his wife had an affair with his adopted son.

It would be fine if that was all. According to Procopius's emotional records, Belisarius's wife lived a dissolute life in her early years and had an illegitimate child. After Belisarius adopted her adopted son, she was even more inseparable from his adopted son. As a matter of fact, many people knew about this scandal, and Belisarius himself had even been to the scene.

He wanted to take measures but couldn't. Belisarius couldn't do anything to his wife because she was a close confidant of Queen Theodora. Due to political considerations, Theodora would not punish members of her close confidants, so Belisarius I have been feeling aggrieved like this for a long time, and it makes me feel aggrieved to think that something like this once caused a political issue.

Orville may not be as courageous as Theodora in using conspiracies, but he is definitely more generous and understanding than Theodora, and he will not engage in such messy things.

Belisarius must have been a little confused, but he didn't ask any more questions. He just sat back quietly in his seat and waited for the show to start with Orville. His identity is that of a guard rather than Orville's good friend, so it's better to remain silent when you shouldn't say anything.

"Within forty years after its completion, it was the only permanent theater in the city of Rome. After that, it was also the center of dramatic art and the premiere theater in the city of Rome. The large and small theaters chose to have a connection with this place. Construction near it has formed a complete theater area to this day.

At the back is the garden, and behind the garden is the Assembly Hall, which was also one of the alternative locations for meetings of the Roman Senate and where Caesar was assassinated.”

After all, Domitia was still a twelve- or thirteen-year-old child with a strong desire for expression. She began to introduce all the details of the Pompeii Theater and the performance to Orville.

Orville is not disgusted with this kind of behavior. At her age, it is not easy to introduce these things in a complete and orderly manner. This requires a certain amount of knowledge reserves and language expression skills. He would not frown and reprimand the other party for not doing their job properly. Domitia's ability to calm down and sit for hours at this age, concentrating on enjoying the drama, in Orville's view is also a sign of talent and ability, and it does not necessarily have to be The correct way of education is to study philosophy, eloquence and physical skills. It is normal for people to have their own ambitions. He is still more open-minded than most ancient people.

He himself was also quite interested in this matter, and he took the initiative to put down his posture and chat with Domitia. He knew that people of all ages could participate in this matter of chatting.

"I noticed that the form of the theater here is different from the traditional Greek theater. The structural layout of the Roman theater is a very standard semicircle."

——

The two chatted wordlessly for a while, and then the performance officially began. Domicia obviously really enjoyed watching the performance, so she consciously closed her mouth and started watching.

Orville is actually not very interested in the performance itself, and this performance is indeed, as Nerva said, "authentic top Greek actors come to act." From the actors to the script, they are all imported from Greece, and the actors speak fluently. Authentic Greek.

For the educated people and the upper class in Rome, Greek was a relatively common language. Those who came here to watch the theater would definitely know it. Orville knew nothing about this thing and could only speak a few words in Rhodes. Greetings learned in Japan and other places.

He couldn't understand what the other party was saying at all. He could only guess the general plot based on the actors' performances. He would have to sit there for several hours. There was no doubt that it would be a torture.

Orville couldn't help but look back at Belisarius. He was staring straight ahead, concentrating on the front. At first glance, he seemed quite serious. But Orville knew very well that he was a rough man who didn't know any Greek, and he was just pretending.

After persisting on the field for a while, Orville felt a little bored, so he asked Belisarius to look after his children.

"Take care of Princess Domitia. I'll go out to get some fresh air. I'll be back soon. It won't take too long."

Belisarius nodded and agreed: "Understood, I will use my life to protect the personal safety of the Flavius ​​royal family, please rest assured."

After ensuring that Domitia was taken care of, Orville got up and left alone, going through the corridor to the garden behind the theater. He was a quiet person, and it was more or less uncomfortable to stay in a crowded place. It would be better to take a breath here first, and then go back to the theater in time.

Although it was already December, the climate was generally warmer in this era. The Romans did not even have the habit of wearing long trousers at this time, which showed that even in winter it was not very cold.

However, even so, the gardens of this era were limited by the level of technology and gardening, and were far less colorful than the gardens of later generations. It might be more pleasing to the eye in the right season. Now it was a combination of a meadow, a large number of trees, and a man-made river. For Orville, it was not particularly beautiful, but it was quiet, allowing him to calm down and think about things, and to think freely.

He paid attention to his surroundings and began to think uncontrollably - how old is this tree, whether the stone slab under his feet is loose, what are the backgrounds of the passers-by around him, what did he eat last night.

All kinds of irrelevant things flashed through his mind. He thought about everything he saw, and finally he gradually slowed down a dozen meters in front of a group of people in cloaks.
