Chapter 26 by HistoricoPublius HistoricoPublius

Time for bed.

You retire for the night.

You sleep well that night, and the next day you take your leave of the estate. {if Albina Wife = True}Your marriage proposal has been both accepted and approved, and you and Albina say your vows in front of witnesses that very morning - though under the circumstances, the wedding night will have to wait until you get back to Rome. {endif}{if Adolphus Dead = True}Antonia waves goodbye to your little entourage, weeping, as you depart from the villa.{else}Antonia and Adolphus wave farewell to your little entourage, Antonia weeping, Adolphus beaming, as you depart from the villa. {endif}{if Albina Wife = True}Albina, having packed a few precious personal belongings and clothes, rides by your side in the cart, often leaning on you and resting her head on your shoulder in affection. {endif}{if Polyxena Held = True}Polyxena has found herself a place to sit in the bed of the cart, befitting her status as a ****. {endif}You're leaving the estate with your purse heavier than when you arrived, thanks to some silver that you found in the bandits' caves and some reserves the estate is finally able to draw on now that they don't have to worry about bandit attacks; all told, it adds up to an extra 50 denarii for you!

The journey back to Rome takes two days, and (unusually for this time of year) the weather is fair and fine as you trundle down the road in the hired cart.

Does anything happen on the road?

More fun
