Round 8 - Callani

It's time for the winter round, and as usual we start with the Emperor's family and all the drama they include.
Row 1: Ovidius Zimeca (slave, standing), Germanus Nixeira (slave, standing), Augusta Nixeira (slave, standing)
Row 2: Varius Callani (Emperor, sitting), Sabina Callani (Empress, sitting)
Row 3: Januarius Callani (brother, standing), Agapetus Callani (heir, sitting), Aphrodisia Callani (daughter, standing)
One of Emperor Varius brothers finally moved out for marriage since last round. We'll be seeing Albanus later.

The heir to the Emperor's seat just became a toddler, and Empress Sabina is busy teaching him the basics.

She's also busy being pregnant with her third child.

Januarius sure isn't discreet... I guess since Albanus moved out, he takes over the part of seducing the slave girls.

Ovidius has his birthday.

Here he is as an adult. He's marrying later this round!

It's good if our little future Emperor knows how to speak.

Augusta and Germanus are siblings, but that doesn't mean they like each other.

Sabina is huge, haha.

Augusta felt like photobombing her brother's birthday picture...

Here's Germanus now, anyway. He also marries later this round.

Our Empress is in labor!

She has another daughter, named Athenais.

First party of the round is in honor of Agapetus birthday.

Here he is. I love him with long hair for some reason.

Sabina takes her teenage love to bed at last... I'm a little surprised they hadn't done it yet.

She's blessed with a wish (not that she needs anything more...) from a genie. I roll a dice to see what she's wishing...

And she's supposed to resurrect someone. I know who! Agrippina Nixotho, who's pregnant and left her little toddlers alone last round. She immediately moves back home. Apparently Sabina wants to make out with her...

The children keep to themselves or each other and I barely notice them most of the time.

Another party is thrown for Athenais birthday, where Ovidius takes Saturnina Callarai to bed...

I didn't manage to take a picture of her in the process of growing up, so you'll have to settle for this, sorry.

Here she is, by the way. Looks just like her siblings, gah...

This party proves not to be as calm as the last one. Germanus and Gordianus Callarai starts fighting.

Gordianus wins. However, since Germanus is still unmarried and male, he's allowed one plead.

His slave buddy Ovidius gets down on his knees, and Germanus stays with us.

The following day, Sabina is back to teaching another child how to walk.

And talk.

The children bring home Aetius Callius from school. They really are calm.

It seems Januarius is happy about Germanus still being alive, haha.

And just like Albanus before him, he WooHoos Augusta right before we leave... My patricians just can't keep their pants on when it comes to the teenage slave girls.
