"Sir, you have me confused with the empress. I merely look like her." Trix managed to say. She watched as Felix glared at her, clearly not convinced on the fact that only a double stood in front of him at that moment.
"Very interesting." Felix said looking her over. "Aaron, I mean Jacob, it has been quite a while. I had my men look for you all over the city."
"Sir I felt like a burden living in your villa. I chose to find my way." Jacob reasoned clearly ashamed by what he had done.
"None the less I still open my doors to you and your wife. Live on my land as a friend. Although I think you've foun

"Are you ready?" Jacob asked straightening out his tunic."Almost. Give me a moment." Trix called out. She had worn a simple cream colored dress with a red belt. She had chosen to wear something simpler over the violet dress Aria had offered for her to use."Who do you think will be coming to the party?" Jacob asked."Most probably every noble in Rome. This is Lord Felix we are talking about. He is good friends with the empress and it would not hurt to be on his good side." Trix walked out from behind the screen dressed and ready. "That is why I must remain simple. If someone recognizes me our mission will surely end tonight.""You look amazing." Was all Jacob managed to say as he looked at his pretend wife.Trix blushed and smiled sweetly at him. "Well we must get going. It would be a shame to miss all the events tonight."Jacob nodded and offered his arm to her. She gladly took it and they made their way to the banquet hall.

Trix stood frozen between Jacob and her aunt. She knew Jacob had heard what Aria had called her. How foolish of them to let their guard down."We will discuss this later Jacob." Trix whispered."If you are who she says you are then you must get out of here." Jacob said."Not without everyone being safe. If I escape they will use this as leverage." She explained."Silence!" Marcus commanded. "As you see there is no empress, her future consort is my prisoner, I told captive majority of nobles in Rome. So now you will have over the crown to me.""The empress will return."

Hector marched into the hall where the senators and other leaders of Rome had gathered. Two weeks had passed since the attempted rebellion of Gaius and Marcus where Trix had disappeared. The senators were in a frenzy, they still believed that Trix was on a military tour. They began to worry, the reign of the empress was young and very susceptible to people who wish to take over the empire themselves. Many were pressing for Trix to wed in order to show a stronger front. Hector debated with many of them explaining that this would only show their lack of confidence in their empress. Vitatrix may be a woman but she was proving to her people that women were not weak.After the attempt no other unrest outside of the ordinary was reported. It was as if Marcus and his men had vanished. Gaius had been killed in the fight and his son was making right his father's mistake. Not surprisingly C

Hector ordered for the nation's top spies to report to him that night. They had agreed that a larger force would not be practical, nor would it make sense to attack with put confirming that Trix was indeed being held captive in Felix's villa."Seeing as everyone is now here this is your mission, we will march out before dawn and camp in the woods behind the villa." Hector explained pointing at the map on the table. "From there the spies will advance first to confirm if the empress is indeed being kept captive there and if she is still within the grounds. We will all be dressed discreetly. The forge has made a new light weight armor that we can test out, it should be well hidden under our cloaks and disguises."The men all nodded in understanding."Expect the place to be

It all felt like a dream. Like a never ending dream. Vitatrix lay on her bed for what felt like hours before she could realize that what had happened the day before was no dream. She was truly the heir to the Roman empire. But would it be possible for her to ascend the throne? Women could not inherit. At least not commoners and peasants. But would she need to wed? Would she be forced to marry a man she has never met? Questions kept flooding her mind. She didn't even know if the citizens of Rome would accept her as their future ruler. And what of her auntie? Would she ever see her again once she was introduced? She would have to face this alone. Then she realized she didn't have to, Hector, her best friend and a noble by birth could accompany her. Trix immediately got up and dressed. She went about fixing her bed when she realized the necklace was under her pillow. She held it in her hand and thought to herself, this necklace symbolizes who I truly am. This was also the only

"From today onward you should get used to being called 'my lady' or 'your highness'. I know it's a stretch Trix but it's the cards you have been dealt." Artemisia scolded Trix as she started to groan at the thought of being called anything other than her name.She had been having lessons with Juliana for the past two days and they left tomorrow at sunrise. The clothing Juliana had ordered made for her were packed and ready to go. She constantly wore the necklace that symbolized her inheritance. She didn't want to but Artemisia and Juliana insisted. They said that it would help her accept the truth.

Heiress of Rome The Journey Home
It was a days journey from Clusium to the city of Rome. They had left at dawn as planned. The guards were all set and General Cato rode at the front of the party. Trix could not help but stare at the man. He it seemed that he was chiseled from marble. With every look he gave Trix she felt like melting. It was something about this mysterious general that attracted her. They came to a halt to rest. She turned her attention to Hector, who was practicing with some of the soldiers. Hector and a young soldier named Gaius quickly became friends because they were of the same age. Like Hector, Gaius had been training to be a soldier of Rome even before he could walk. He was the son of a soldier and a freed female gladiator. Fighting was in his blood."Hey princess maybe it's time you learned to use the pretty dagger I have you." Hector teased."

Trix could not believe what she was hearing. Lord Felix was arranging his marriage to Gaius daughter, a woman clearly of much lower rank than him. It was uncharacteristic."I would be honored my lord for such a union to occur." Lord Gaius said with a grin. "It most definitively would further strengthen our plans.""What plans?" Felix asked the older man."My plans for my children sir." Gaius said quickly covering up what he had let slip, leaving Trix much more confused than ever."Ah, a father good must indeed look after his kin. Tell me sir when might I meet your daughter?" Felix asked."We could arrange for a small gatherin

Trix silently made her way through the halls to the library she needed a way to see if her friend Felix was behind all these plans, and she knew someone that could help."Niece, how are you?"the Lady Aria greeted her as she entered the library."Your husband is complicating my plans."Trix said as she collapsed on a couch."To him we are nothing but our husband's property." Her aunt shook her head."He has hired a tutor to educate me." Trix explained. "The tutor will figure out that I am educated.""This is a dilemma." Aria said. "Worry not, I shall find someone we can trust."Trix nodded and forced herself to trust this

He asked as he set his daggers aside."I met a new friend." Trix said with a large grin on her face."Why am I worried about this new friend of yours?" Jacob asked."Her name is Lady Aria, wife to nobleman Gaius." At this Trix winked towards Jacob's direction."And did you tell her who you were?""Wife to one of Gaius' men. She isn't as dumb as they think Jacob." Krista said."No one

"You know who I am?" Vitatrix asked as she stood nervously across the room from the noblewoman.Aria nodded and smiled. "Don't worry Gaius has no clue. Just as he is clueless to the fact that I am loyal to the house of Cesar."Vitatrix cautiously moved closer yo Aria. "How do I know that your words are true?" She asked."Because I am from the same house you are from. Sister to the man you called your father." Aria revealed leaving Trix in shock."If he was your sister then people would know. And being my closest of kin you would benefit from my death." Trix bluntly said."True, but I ran away from home to get away from all that mess. I wanted a peacful and comfortable life and this i
