100 Reincarnations in Otherworldly Lives!

Chapter 4: 『Roman Empire Reborn in Another World!』



The next day was the day of execution, the day the Imperial Family fell, and a New Empire was born!

At this moment, I left the noble residence and went with Nero to witness the execution carried out by the executioner. I observed this execution from a small hill not far from the Altena Empire.

Enjoying the cool morning breeze while watching the Imperial Family's execution, there was a lot of commotion, and all the citizens of the empire eagerly awaited the moment of execution.

Grinning slightly and surprised to see Nero laughing a little and holding it in, I asked her:

"What's wrong, Nero?" I asked her.

Hearing my question, Nero smiled and hugged me from behind as I sat and answered:

"Nothing... I just see that you're in a good mood right now." Nero replied to me.

I smiled at Nero's response and said:

"Of course, I'm happy if you're happy. Besides, you're happy, aren't you? You get to revive the Roman Empire in this world." I told her.

She released her embrace and danced joyfully as she spoke:

"Umu! Of course. It's been so long since I last saw the Roman Empire. I'm so happy to rebuild it in another world, and being with you only enhances my happiness!" Nero said cheerfully while dancing behind me.

It seems Nero's mood is excellent, and I'm very happy about that. I can't wait to spend all my time with Nero. Afterward, I left the hill with Nero.

Since the execution ended 10 minutes ago, I then headed to the Empire and entered. The nobles already inside welcomed me respectfully.

Judging by their expressions, they were clearly terrified. Bowing in fear, huh? That's fine. Besides, I will completely restructure the Altena Empire into a new form, mirroring the ancient Roman Empire at the peak of its glory.

I walked and sat on the Emperor's throne. No one dared to stop me, and they were aware of their position. So as I sat on the throne and looked at them, they bowed their heads, positioning themselves to pay respect to the new Emperor.

◇ ◆ ◇

A year has passed since the Altena Empire fell into the hands of the Duke Nobles. During this full year, the Altena Empire disappeared, giving rise to a New Empire called the Roman Empire!

The system of the Roman Empire may not be exactly the same as during Nero's rule because I was the one who created the new rules.

The laws of the Roman Empire are as follows:

1. The Emperor / Empress is immune to all laws and will always be considered correct as long as they ensure the country's progress with every generation.

2. If the next generation fails to bring progress to the country, the ruling Emperor / Empress will lose their title and be replaced by a Crown Prince / Princess who is Committed, Competent, Ambitious, Talented, and Potential.

3. There are 15 Honorable Titles in the Roman Empire, and the title of Emperor / Empress may only be granted to pure descendants of the First Emperor / Empress of the Roman Empire!

4. All descendants of the Emperor / Empress, whether pure-blooded or not, must receive a high education and have equal status within the Imperial hierarchy of Princes and Princesses.

5. All Citizens, Nobles, and the Imperial Family must prove their contributions to the Roman Empire, and their loyalty will be tested.

6. Specific Nobles or Imperial Family members must prove their loyalty to the Roman Empire with an oath: "Prisiekti Romos imperijai amžinąją šlovę ir paklusti imperijai!"

(Note: "Swear eternal glory to the Roman Empire and obey the Empire!")

7. The Empire must act as best as possible to prevent the creation of poverty.

8. Citizens who have proven their Talent, Potential, and Loyalty will receive special privileges, such as scholarships to higher academies.

9. Each territory under Imperial rule must have a Higher Education Academy to develop better generations. Citizens receiving scholarships who demonstrate exceptional talent, potential, and competence will have the right to enter the Imperium Academy.

(Note: A special academy for children of parents with the four highest titles.)

10. The Saturnalia Cultural Festival must be held every 5 years. This festival is dedicated to worshipping "Pirmais Imperators" as the Foundation and Protector of the Roman Empire. During this festival, all Citizens, Nobles, and Crown Princes / Princesses are on an equal hierarchy for 3 days, except for the Emperor / Empress.

This is the law and system. Pretty good, isn't it? During this past year, the economy, architecture, politics, education, and other aspects have steadily developed.

The capital of the Roman Empire is called Roma. The capital Roma occupies an area of 1,285 km², and the currency of the Roman Empire is named Aureus, which is a pure gold coin.

The Aureus serves as the currency for trade and payments across all Roman territories.

The Aureus coins I created are lightweight and easy to carry, so no one feels reluctant to carry them.

Its gold purity is guaranteed due to one of my abilities, making it the primary currency.

Here are the 15 Honorable Titles, which I will list one by one:

Emperor / Empress

◈ Ruler of the Entire Empire ◈

King / Queen

◈ Ruler of the Empire's Largest Territory ◈

Crown Prince / Princess

◈ Candidate for Emperor / Empress ◈

Those are the 15 Honorable Titles of the Roman Empire at present. I've also provided brief explanations to give you an idea of each title.

Currently, the Roman Empire is growing rapidly and steadily, leaving many citizens satisfied and enjoying the empire's progress.
