Hannibal had been free for a few months now. He had been quietly recruiting men for a personal guard unit as a ruse to build a private army. He also trained those men in battle along with the freed gladiators who served the young woman willingly.

He had also heard the reports of the germanic soldiers forced into the military. He had plans to speak with the germanic commanders once they were in Rome, secretly of course. If they were too bold about this the legions could be sent upon them.

Walking through the villa, Hannibal found her on the balcony wearing just enough fabric to cover her female parts. He approached and slid a hand down her shoulder and under the fabric to grope one of those breasts as he leaned in to rumble in her ear. "If you continue to taunt me like this, one day I will take you on this balcony for all of Rome to see."
