Round 5 - Callandile

The Callandile had a tragic last round, with the murder of two out of four family members. With her mother and brother dead, Sabina couldn't even hold her tears back for this picture.
Row 1: Temitope Nixsana (slave, standing), Andile Callani (Head of the family, sitting), Sabina Callandile (heir, sitting), Antonia Nixeira (slave, standing)

When Tarquinius came home one night injured, the family didn't expect him to drop dead the next morning. They were devastated. After losing his wife not much earlier, Andile was desperate to know who did this to his only son, and to get justice.

Gordianus Callarai reported having witnessed Felix Jax fight Tarquinius the day before his death, and with this knowledge, Andile demaned Felix brought to the Colosseum. He got his wish, and now both Tarquinius and Felix are dead.

The faithful old slave Temitope had a breakdown after the death of her young master.

Sabina was spending the most time crying, but still had to work on her charisma skill to prepare for her marriage to the Emperor.

Andile and Temitope found comfort in each other once again. Unfortuately, no one thought to comfort Antonia, who'd had a crush on Tarquinius. Poor girl.

With the murderous Caecilius dead, having a birthday party is once more safe in this neighborhood. This party is Andile's.

He's the youngest member of the second generation, and therefore the last one to become an elder. But now all of them are! Lots of them already died from old age.

Gordianus is completely under Sabina's spell. They can't marry, since she's betrothed to the Emperor, but I'm sure at least Gordianus wishes they could.

While planting new seeds in the spring weather, Death comes to get Temitope, saying her time is up. She's not quite willing to accept it, but in the end, she has no choice but to leave.

She's been hardworking and faithful all through her service in the Callandile household, and I'm going to miss her.

Poor Antonia is now the only slave to care for an enormous farm. Of course, the snow starts falling again and she gets a taste of the cold...

She's working through the following night as well, and gets a bit lonely.

But then, things look up a bit for her, I suppose, as she gets some attention from her master Andile...

Aaand she's pregnant. Just like her twin sister Drusa. Why can't my Patrician males keep their pants on and not impregnate their young slave girls? Well, I guess generation 5 is twice on its way now.

Lovely Sabina finally maximize her charisma! Now she's all ready for the wedding next round.

The affair continues and gets a bit more serious...

At the Baths, Antonia doesn't try too hard to keep her love for her master hidden, and Balbina Callarai, daughter of Caecilius, show's she might have too much in common with her father...

She even makes Antonia cry. Are we having a new Caecilius in the neighborhood, in the form of his daughter?
