Mg, scat, forced sex, oral, anal, torture death, a historic tale of a child forced into prostitution in ancient Rome. See how young Jackie deals with an evil slave owner. Marcuis counted out the copper coins and then lifted the wooden bar on the storage room door. The fat man had given him enough coin for the Roman Senator to have his way with the young child. The blond girl sat on a rope bed with a straw mattress that was not too old; true it did have bed bugs but what the hell this was no high class whorehouse. She was nude and sobbed from the beating and anal rape the brutal cook had given his bound girl. He had cheated her father at dice during the games held each day in the large Coliseum just a few blocks from the palace. The fool was a barbarian from the Germanic tribes and was easily duped. Marcuis had dispirited the child after a few days of no food and hard beatings along with gang rape. The little slut would do anything the slobs demanded and she was still clean but he figured not for long. Her cunt and rectum had loosened up a bit but she was still tight enough to hurt most stiff cocks that were rammed in her ass or pussy. "Shut the fuck up and stop that sniveling. This fine citizen does not want to hear you blubbering over a little beating. Get over here and clean his cock with your filthy mouth. Suck his cock and balls good you bitch." the callous man said as he backhanded her across the face. Jackie jumped off the bed and got on her knees before the fat Roman. She had been used by this one before and knew what he wanted. She pulled up his tunic and undid his undergarment. His thick cock flopped out and she pulled the long foreskin back knowing that there would be a heavy coating of his head cheese. The white mass stunk and had a bitter taste. His cock head was large and leaking his pre cum. She moved her hand over the stiffening shaft and put the head in her mouth. Flavious Trimarious held the small child's head as he forced his long plump cock into her mouth. He felt her lick the headcheese from his prick. He pulled his cock out of her mouth and fed his hairy balls to the child. She sucked the nuts into her mouth and then worked her thin finger up the obese man's ass. She knew that he would have a load of shit up there and that he would crap on her tummy as he jacked his cock off shooting thick hot ropes of his cum onto her face. "Get on the floor and take my load you slut. Here comes some stinking shit now rub it all over your filthy pussy and tits." the man ordered as he strained to dump his bowels on the child. His dark brown shit flopped down on her tummy and she used her hands to rub the nasty stuff over her pussy and tits. She knew the fat man would not last long as he was pumping his cock faster and faster. He groaned and aimed his prick at her face. "Open your cock hole bitch and eat my cum." he shrieked as his cock exploded and thick white cum shot over the child's face. Some got into her eyes and up her nose but most of the nasty thick goo went down her throat. "Aha that is good, not get on your knees and suck my cock and get it hard. I am going to fuck you up that tight little ass this time. You can scream all you want I am sure it is going to hurt a lot." the Senator said as the thought of the child's tiny anus stretched wide by his cock head was getting the job done. Although he had just blown a load he found his meat was stiffing and ready to enter the child's abused anus. Jackie sucked the slimy cum off of the cock and she felt it grow stiff again. She cried for she knew that the wide head would stretch her bottom so and make it hurt. Her master had just fucked her up the ass before the Senator came for his morning fuck and suck. She felt him grab her hair and pull her off of his cock. He bent her over the rope bed and spread her slim legs wide. He fingered her dirty pussy pushing his shit into her vulva and making her vagina burn. She felt him line the head of his chunky cock up to her anus. She pushed out hoping to ease the agony as his wide meat stretched her rectum. The pain burned deep inside of her as he forced the cock deeper into her young body. She felt her anus stretch and the pain burned deep inside as the man pushed harder and got all of his thick cock in her body. The young child cried as the large man pulled out of her anus and then slammed it back inside her body. She was bent over the bed when she felt grab her head and stuff his dirty cock in her mouth. He forced her to take all of his meat down her throat. The fat cook could feel the child's lips stretch over his distended cock. He loved to hurt her. She was so small and tight and he enjoyed making her cry and beg him not to use her body. He saw that the Senator was about to cum in her ass. He could feel her body tremble as the two men used her. He loved to see the thick cock run in and out of her stretched asshole. Marcuis held the child's head as he pumped a load of thick cum into her throat. He pulled out some and made the child suck his cock making her taste his nasty slimly cum. He saw the other man pull his shit covered cock out of the child's body and noticed that her anus stayed open. He was glad that they were ruining her anus. He wanted the child's bowel to hang out and seep. She would not be so smug then. He pulled his cock out of her mouth and then pushed the young girl on her knees and made her suck the shit off of the Senator's still stiff cock. He saw that her brown shit was running down her face as it mixed with his cum. There was a knock at the door he went to answer it. There were three young studs waiting to fuck the child. They wanted to use her at the same time which was alright with the cook. The Senator left by a side door as the next to abuse the child came in. He took their coppers and watched as the dark haired Romans got ready to fuck the child. The one with the largest cock lay on the bed and shoved his long prick in the child's pussy. She screamed as the thick cock pushed dead against her cervix causing her pain. His buddy pushed the child down as he mounted her from the rear. His thick long cock popped into her anus and he felt his buddies cock fucking the girl's pussy. The two cocks rubbed together through her thin membranes. She cried out in anguish as the younger one slapped her face and made her suck his long cock. The one fucking her ass felt his nuts tighten and then he blew a load of cum up her ass. He pulled out and switched places with the young one getting a blow job. He watched as the long cock easily slid up the child's body. He looked down at her tortured face and held his shit and cum covered cock up to her lips. He forced the long rod into her mouth and felt the wetness of her throat as he fed the monster down deep. Jackie's body was hammered as the men fucked her. She wished that she could pass out but the men kept on fucking her. She felt the man in her pussy jerk as he filled her immature womb with his sticky man milk. Then the young punk fucking her up the ass grabbed her long blond hair and shoved his cock all the way inside of her rectum and came. The three pulled out of her abused body and tossed her on the dirty bed. Her pussy was bleeding as was her ass. She felt polluted and horrid as her body ached. She vomited the shit and cum the five men had pumped into her. "You stupid bitch! Now you are going to have to clean this mess up." the fat cook said as he kicked the child in the gut. She doubled over and heaved again as a thin stream of bile and cum dribbled out. "Put your filthy rags on and get a bucket of water and scrub this pigsty. Then clean your stinking ass up down at the hog pen. Then get back to work, you have had enough fun for the morning. I will have a new bunch of lads looking to fuck a nasty slut like you cunt." he yelled as he hit her with a leather flogger with bits of sharp glass tied to the ends. The child ran to the hog pen and got a bucket of water and a bristle brush to clean the storage room and herself. She had hidden a piece of Egyptian soap under a board near the pig pen and would use it to clean up. She cried as she moped up the shit and cum off of the floor. Her body oozed bloody shit and cum as she worked to clean the rough stone floor. Once she had the room clean she hurried off to the pig yard where there was a tub of water that was warmed by the sun. She striped off her filthy rag tunic and soaked in the tepid stagnant water. Jackie knew that the feast tonight was in honor of the novices chosen for the Emperor's choir. She wished that girls were allowed to sing the sacred music but it was forbidden. The child would sneak out near the new church and listen to the blessed music and softly sing to herself. She had found a passage to the underground grotto that held the chamber. Jackie knew that if her master found her that he would have her whipped or even crucified but she wanted badly to hear the wondrous music. She cleaned up and then dashed down the twisting alleys in the market place until she came to a low rock that held the grate for the air shaft to the underground chamber. The young girl quietly crawled through the winding stone passage. The ventilation tunnels had been hand hewed from the living granite to bring fresh air into the huge vaulted subterranean chamber. Jacquelyn knew that she should not be there. The world of sacred music was forbidden to a mere bound serving girl. She could see the Master lead the choir down the center of the sloping floor. There were 700 long padded hand carved benches on each side of the isle. The huge chamber could hold over 6,000 of the faithful. Today there would just be the choir, the orchestra, the Master and the Emperor. There would be six new apostles dressed in their pure white robes. Each of the young boys would be given the chance to sing two arias and a longer concerto. The apostles had come from the far reaches of the Empire. Each had come to the attention of their local priest by the age of five. They had been deemed talented enough to attend the regional academy which they did for five years and had earned an audition before the Master and the Emperor himself. There was room for only two new members so the boys would put all that they had into this evenings audition. For the lucky two that were chosen life would be filled with opportunities for wealth and fame. The four that were not chosen would be sent back to their school to either serve the Regent or some small holding church in the wilds. Neither outcome was desired by the young boys. The orchestra filed in quickly filling the pit carved in the stone floor. Each took their place and there was the discord of a hundred instruments being tuned. The strings were tightened and the reed winds were pitched and the brass horns were warmed up. The conductor, the Emperor's brother came to the podium and rapped his golden baton. The members of the orchestra settled in and brought their instruments to the ready. Lord Cowan turned to Master Arlin and gave a slight nod. "Great and noble Emperor, ruler of heaven and earth, he used the very short form of Emperor Justin's title for this was a privet function, I bring before you this years accolades." Lord Arlin said as he gestured with his robed arm and the six boys came out of the darkness from both sides of the chamber. "First to perform will be novice Heinous Bowden from Jarm'lin hall." Master Arlin spoke as the novice pulled back his cowl and moved into the torchlight. The slim young dark haired boy looked to the conductor and waited for the first strands of the complicated music to begin. The golden baton wavered and the woodwinds fluttered to life as if a thousand butterflies had taken flight. The tenor filled his lungs with air and attacked the music. His tone was fitting and his delivery safe but uninspired. He was into the second stanza when the Emperor waved a golden cloth. The orchestra ended the piece in mid note. The silence was sudden and total. The young boy shook and fought back tears as he pulled his cowl over his head and steeped back into the darkness. "Next to perform will be novice Tiberius Markus from Kay-te hall." Master Arlin said as a young lad stepped from the darkness from the left side of the stage. The lad removed his hood and waited for the music to fill the hall. His rich tenor voice rose and fell with the music as he flowed like cool ice water down worn mossy rocks. He completed his first aria and drew in air for his second selection "Ave Pax Dominus" He moved through the complicated piece and near the end he stumbled over a long wavering note. Sweat broke out on his brow as he tried to bring his trained voice to the proper pitch. He closed his eyes and reached deep down to feel the music. He let a phrase out and then to his shock realized the orchestra had stopped playing. The crestfallen lad covered his head and steeped back into the darkness. Hot wet tears fell down his swarthy cheeks and the next boy was called forth. The girl soaked in the sounds and the music. They filled her with joy and her heart pounded in harmony with the melody. The words were a simple prayer to the Blessed Mary. Ave Maria Gratia plena Maria Gratia plena Maria Gratia plena Ave, ave dominus Dominus tecum Benedicta tu in mulieribus Et benedictus Et benedictus fructus ventris Ventris tui Jesus Ave Maria Ave Maria Mater dei Ora pro nobis pecatoribus Ora, ora pro nobis Ora ora pro nobis pecatoribus Nunc et in hora mortis In hora mortis, mortis nostrae In hora mortis nostrae Ave Maria! She closed her eyes and let the sound wash over her, filling her with its essence. Below her the third candidate had been dispensed and the fourth was taking center stage. He faired no better that those that he followed and after just a few bars of his aria he was sat down. The girl could feel each error the young boys made. She felt as if the music lived within her as was just waiting to be set free. Down in the chamber the fifth novice finished all three of his works without interruption from the Emperor. The lad took his place in the darkness but he beamed as he was sure that he had won a place in the choir. The final boy moved to center stage and began. His voice was clear and clean and he easily worked through the aria. He started his concerto but faltered on a complex passage as his voice cracked. His hopes died with the music. "Dear Arlin can you not find me one voice, just one new voice? These lads hack at the music and assault my ears. Send then back to the pig farms the came from." the tall dark haired man said as he signaled a slave to bring him a draft of wine. The young black nude child came forth baring a golden challis encrusted with jewels. He took the flagon from the girl and let his hand wonder to her budding breast. He pulled the slave into his arms and fondled her absentmindedly. The child knew that she would need to please the Lord and Master or she would be beaten or killed outright depending on the mood of the Emperor. "Noble brother, these were the best of the lot. I feel that the fifth one has some promise. Let him stay here for a fortnight and let us see how he progresses. What can it hurt?" Arlin said as he dismissed the choir and the orchestra. Within a few moments he was alone with his brother and the young slave. "As you wish brother, but I will wager this golden flute that a six-week will not improve his cackling." the young ruler of the known world said as he drew the interment to his lips and began to play his favorite work, Ave Maria. The music rose high into the vaulted chamber and filled it with a golden glow. Jacquelyn felt its power more than she heard to strains of the aria. She lifted her head and the song poured out. Arlin looked about the chamber as the voice filled the vast chamber and his heart. His brother heard the voice over his flute and let the song play out. The two men looked at each other and then around the hall seeking the one that had sang so sweetly so much like the voice of an angel. "What is this brother, you have found my voice. You were just saving the best for last. That was amazing! Bring him forward at once. I must hear more. Who is he?" the Emperor asked as he looked around the darkened chamber. "Brother I do not know. If I had heard that voice before I would not have bothered with the other lads. It sounded as if it came from on high. Truly that was the voice of an angel." Arlin said as he also tried to find the source of the wondrous voice. The young girl shook her head as if she had just come out of a deep trance. Suddenly she was very frightened for it was forbidden for her to be in the sacred place. She turned to scuttle away but the hem of her rough spun tunic caught on the lace stone work and there was a loud ripping sound as the old cloth tore. The acoustics of the chamber amplified the sound and the two men below were draw to the stone grate above their heads. Arlin took a torch from the wall and held it high illumining the dark recesses of the vent. There he saw a young blond child tugging at the hem of a scullery maid's tunic. He reached up and undid the latch that held the stone work in place. The young child tumbled out into his arms as he flung the torch away and caught her. She was about ten years old and very beautiful for a low cast barbarian child. The girl sobbed and went limp in his arms. Arlin could feel a power race through her skin to his. He held her and drew her into his arms. He never wanted to let the child go. "There there now dear, there is no need for tears. What is your name young angel?" he asked as he sat her down but keep her enfolded in his arms. "Jacquelyn, sir, Jacquelyn Cook, but most just call me Jackie sir. I did not mean any harm. It is just that the music calls me so." the child sobbed as she hid her face in folds of the rich gold cloth of the Master's robes, "That was you then child? You sang Ave Maria just now?" the Emperor asked as he brushed back the young girl's hair. "Yes your majesty it was I. I know that I should not sing the sacred words." she sobbed knowing that she was in deep trouble. The best she could hope for was that she would be banished outside the walls of the city into the wild being forever branded out law. She might even be impaled nude in the market square for the enjoyment of the lower classes. That would be a horrid way to die. "That child is for me to decide for you see I have a bit of pull around here." he said trying to comfort the terrified child. "Sing it again for me." he commanded as he pulled the golden flute to his lips and started the aria. Jackie wiped her eyes on her sleeves and stood before the two men and let the sound fill her. She sang and felt each note as she moved to the melody of the song. The music ended and the two men just stared at the child. "Do you know this one?" the Emperor asked as he started the complex O Mio Babbino Caro. Jackie drew in a lung full of air and the words of the aria spilled forth. She stood on the raised dais and filled the vast chamber with golden sound. Justin Augusta Cesar Lord and Master of the known world wept as he worked through the long composition. He had never played the piece with such feeling or power. He knew that it was the child that empowered him and drove his music to such heights. Sadly the song came to its end as he held the last note as long as he could. The sweet child matched him and they ended at the same instant. Justin lowered the golden flute and handed it to the child. "Darling child you have earned this and so much more. Take it for I could never play it again for there was such magic in your last performance I fear that I would spoil the memory." he said as he knelt before the shaking child. "Oh your majesty I could not. It is forbidden for a low born slut such as me to own something so wondrous." the slim child cried as she thrust the flute back into the hands of the Emperor and fell prostrate before him. He looked at the sobbing child before him and noticed that her tunic had ridden up. She wore no undergarments as was custom for one of her station. Her round bottom was crossed with ugly red welts from a severe beating. He pulled her tunic from her body and saw that she had been abused and was very undernourished. Rage filled him. He pulled the now nude child into his arms and comforted her. "What is the name of the beast that has done this to you child? Who is the demon that calls you a slut?" he said as he shook in an awful wrath. Jackie felt the powerful man trace the red welts master chef Marcuis Declinus had left on her back for being too slow to please him. "Marcuis Declinus lord, he is my bound lord. I was sold to him when my father lost money to him betting at the games." the child sobbed in shame. "I am unclean sire you should not soil yourself with me." "Captain Lovickus attend me now!" Justin yelled as he pulled the nude child into his arms and hugged her to him. There was the clatter of armor as the Emperor's bodyguards rushed into the hall. A dozen hardened battled tested scared veterans formed a ring of steel around their Emperor. Gleaming deadly gladius sought a foe to slay. "Bring me Marcuis Declinus in chains to my chamber at once. He and I shall have a bit of a conversation on his treatment of this angel." Justin commanded as he held the child in his arms. "As you command so it shall be done my Lord. Never cared much for the fat slob." he said as he took half of the men with him and headed out of the chamber and down into the vast kitchen of the palace. "Arlin attend me for we have much to discuss. Dear child stop that crying at once. You are not unclean nor are you a slut. I never want to hear those words come from your mouth again." Justin said as he hurried to his privet chamber far above. Court hangers on and dozens of other citizens scattered as their Emperor charged though the halls bearing a nude child. Arlin and the black slave girl kept up as they could. The guard posted at his chamber threw the large gold encrusted heavy door wide and bowed as the Emperor stormed past. The old veteran shook his head and was very happy that he was not the target for the Emperor's rage. He had seen the results of it and it was never a pretty sight. "Julius fetch Healer Trimarious at once. Summon Simon the Jew tailor and tell him to bring something fitting for this child." Justin ordered as he strode to the high throne in the center of the round room. "And draw a hot bath at once." "Yes Majesty, it shall be done." the emperor's personal servant said as he bowed and sent messengers off to fetch the healer and the Jew. He saw the emperor examining the child and at the same time trying to comfort her. Julius did not want to be the person that had marked and abused the girl. Though it was not uncommon for bound girls and slaves to be mistreated and abused the practice was looked on with displeasure. Jackie sat in the man's arms and drew warmth from him. She was not overly embarrass to be nude in front of so many people as nudity among the lower class was a normal way of life as they lived in cramped quarters that afforded little privacy even for sex. The emperor spread her legs and found that she had been used hard and was far from a virgin. "Was it Marcuis that used you down there?" he whispered into the child's ear as he covered her with his robe. "Yes sire, he and the others he sells me to. They hurt me so bad but I try and be a good slu.. You know that word I am not use." she sobbed as she buried her dirty head in the folds of his arms. "Arlin come and take Jackie and see that she is attended to by the Healer and that she is bathed and given something fitting her rank as my Consort." he said reluctantly giving over her body to his brother. "Besides she does not need to see the unpleasant things Marcuis is going to experience. Fear not child all will be well with you. Our lives have changed for the better." he said as he kissed her on the cheek. Marcuis was not having a good day. There was a large feast set for this evening and the pork had gone bad in the meat cellar. Had he not stolen the coins meant to buy ice from the mountains perhaps the meat would not have gone bad. Then there was that little slut girl Jackie, she had buggered off again and was nowhere to be found. He would beat her right and proper this time. He would fuck her up the ass and then perhaps have her gutted and cooked up to replace the rotten pork. Hell once he dumped enough spices and had spiked the evening's wine the fuckers would never know just what the fuck they were eating. The though of her tiny ass got his cock hard. He loved to make her beg and scream as he hurt her. There was a clatter of crashing pots and platters as some bull had been let lose in the kitchen. Marcuis turned to club the dumb slut that had made the racket when he bumped into the Capitan of the Emperor's guard. The hard tall men grabbed the fat slob by his dirty tunic and drug him out of the kitchen. "What is the meaning of this? I am a citizen of Rome and have all the rights there of. Unhand me you brute." he blubbered as he was hurried down the long hallway. "Oh dear Marcuis, you will find out soon enough." Lovickus chuckled as his drug the slob out of the kitchen. Once they were out of the steaming kitchens the Captain had his men clap leg irons and a straight iron bar across his wrist. The squad moved ever upward until they came to the Emperor's privet chambers. Marcuis had fouled his undergarments and stunk more than he usually did. No one would answer his incessant questions now that he saw where the guards had taken him he knew that the outcome would not bode well for the cook. The heavy door was pulled open and the fat cook was shoved down at the foot of the Emperor's throne. He saw Gillis the Terrible, the Emperor's privet inquisitor. Captain Lovickus kicked the man square in his fat ass and then addressed the Emperor. "Your noble Majesty here as you commanded is one Marcuis Declinus head cook and all around asshole." the officer said as he bowed low to the throne. "Well done Lovickus find the parents of Jacquelyn and see that they are moved into the household of our fat cook, for he unquestionably shall have no need of his property and goods. Get them settled and give them this invitation to dine on the morrow." the Emperor said as his scribe drew up the necessary documents. "As you command noble Cesar." the captain said as he took the freshly inked documents and hurried to find the parents of the child. He knew that the mother had a small stall in the market selling wood her husband cut from the far distant forest. "Marcuis you will now tell me the name of each man, boy, or woman that you have whored out Jacquelyn to. The quicker you do it the less pain you will have to endure." Justin ordered as he looked down at the pile of shit that had laid his hands and sunk his cock into the child. "Noble Majesty, there is some horrid misunderstanding here. I have never touched the slut but to.... Ahaaa" he screamed as Justin drove a short Roman spear though his fat right hand. "Now Marcuis you are getting off on the wrong foot or hand as it seems. The child's name is Jacquelyn. Use it when you speak of her. You claim that you have never fucked the child nor beat her? Need I drag a few of your underlings and have they tell us what they know? Now give me the names of the men that use her!" the Emperor yelled as he twisted the wide iron head of the spear deeper into the screaming man's hand. "I can not remember there were so many...." the slob blubbered as the spear was ripped out of his hand and his blood stained the wood floor. "Gillis take this piece of shit out of my sight and refresh his memory. Get all the names from him and have your boys round them up. I care not if they are high born or even if they sit in the Senate have them ready for the games by Dies Lunae. If they can survive the games they can claim their lives and live as outlaws." the Emperor commanded as he was sick of looking at the man that could have done such horrid things to Jackie. "As you command noble lord it shall be done. Do you want this piece of shit still drawing air at the end?" the thin dark skinned inquisitor asked as he signaled his underlings to hustle the blubbering fool from the Emperor's chamber. "Make his death very painful and long. Keep it living for a fortnight. I am sure one as talented as you Gillis can easily prolong his worthless existence." Justin said dismissing his torturer. "Very good Sire." the man said as he looked forward to keeping the fat slob suffering. Perhaps since he was a cook he would slice off bits and feed them to him. Yes that would be rich. Arlin sat on the side of the marble tub as three slaves tended to the child. Sweet oils were rubbed into her skin after she had been scrubbed clean. Her skin shown a rosy red and her long blond hair was a good three shades lighter with all of the grim and filth removed. The healer was preparing herbal poultices to draw out the infection and bad humors that infested the child's abused anus and vagina. He prepared clove oil and mint to clean her teeth and freshen her breath. The healer proscribed a diet of fresh shellfish and fruit to fatten the child up. The child lay back in the hot water and let it pull all of the bad things out of her body. She could not comprehend what had happened to her. The dark slave women were skilled at their tasks and soon her body felt soothed and replenished. The child was taken from the bath and a hooked nosed Hebrew fussed with her body as he measured her and muttered to himself. "Well indigo silk will set off her eyes and a bit of gold trim will go nicely with her hair. I think it should be done up in ringlets. I think not too much lead for she is pale enough. Perhaps just a touch of rouge to her lips and cheeks. Once she gets some meat on her bones she will not be hard on the eyes. Well that is the best I can do for now. I assume he will want an entire wardrobe, gowns tunics and dresses?" the jew asked as he pined a golden broach encrusted with pearls to hold the dark blue silk gown that clung to the child's thin body. Hand tooled sandals were found that fit her feet and she was dressed and given over to Master Arlin. "Here dear, you look much refreshed and quite lovely. I am jealous of my brother; hopefully he will let me train your wondrous voice. Here is your flute, you do not by chance play do you?" he asked as he handed the slim shimmering instrument to the child. "Oh thank you sir. I feel wonderful and a bit light headed with all that has happened so far. I would hate to get this fine dress soiled down in the kitchen. Yes my mother taught me how to play the flute." Jackie said with wonder and joy in her voice. "Oh dear child, you will NEVER have to see the inside of a kitchen. My brother has chosen you as his Consort. Your days will be filled with song and music. There is such power in you voice, it is raw and wondrous but there are things that I will teach you to nurture and improve your talent. Will you play a few notes for me?" he asked as he took her hands and lead her to a low padded bench. "Oh yes sir, I love to play. Shall I play Con Te Partiro?" the child asked as she brought to golden flute to her lips. "That would be wonderful dear." Arlin said as he sat next to her and absorbed as much of her as he could. The notes of the concerto flowed like sweet wine and Arlin felt drunk from the music. The song ended and Jackie bubbled with the joy of releasing the music from within. Her tummy growled as it had been quite a while since she had her thin gruel and slice of stale bread in the morning meal. Most of the help in the kitchen were on the fat side as they ate from the scraps and stole food as it was cooked or delivered to the vast feast that were a daily occurrence in the palace of the Emperor. However Jackie had been beaten and told that if Marcuis ever caught her eating a bite he would cut off her hand. Jackie believed him and never ate any of the food even when she had to toss the leftovers to the hogs. "Oh dear I am an idiot. Sheba bring meat, cheese, fruit, fresh hot bread, and some watered wine. Come child let us dine." he said as he moved to a low bench with overstuffed pillows. He held the child on his lap as the food appeared on the low brass round table. Arlin used his dagger to cut the soft cheese into smaller chunks and then he sliced some of the hot bread fresh form the ovens. He would take a bite and then feed the young girl. She giggled and melted into his arms as she felt the love he had for her. They made a game of it and were soon laughing and rolling on the pillows. The watered wine was stronger than the child was used to drinking as all that she had been allowed to drink was warm water from the well meant for the hogs. "I see that you are in better spirits dear." Justin said as his hard face softened with just once glance of her face. "Come brother join us. She plays the flute as well as she sings." Arlin said to his brother as he extended his hand to him. "Try and keep me away! Remember that I have the legions of Rome behind me. How is the cheese dear?" he asked as he sat on a deep purple pillow. "Oh sir it is wondrous, I have never eaten something so rich and smooth. The bread is still warm and soft. I did not know it could be so nice. Thank you sir so much." Jackie said as she nibbled on a small portion of the soft bread. "Jackie I have given your parents the holdings of that slob Marcuis and invited them to join us for a feast on the morrow. I plan to name you Consort to the throne. God has given you unto me and far be it for me disagree with the divine wisdom of the Creator." "Oh my. I do not know what to say. I am not sure just what a Consort is or does. I will try to do my best for you sir. Does this mean that Marcuis does not own me and that he will not hurt me anymore?" the child said as tears welled up in her eyes. "That dying pig owns nothing and he is in no position to hurt anyone let alone you my dear. A Consort can be many things, what it means to you now is that you will live with me here. You will sing for me and bring me joy. You will want for nothing all of the Empire lays before you." Justin said as he took the child's hands and looked deep into her cobalt eyes. He wiped the tears from her face and bent and kissed her on her lips. Jackie felt his arms enfold her body and his mouth touch hers. There was a spark that ignited a flame deep in her heart. She wanted to please this man, to be with him and give herself as she had done to no one before. The child melted into his arms. He felt the child respond to his touch and for a moment his passion flared hot and white. His need was great but then his hand crossed one of the welts that the pig had put on her back. He pulled back and kissed her on the cheek. He whispered into her ear. "I love you dear, and I want to be with you, but not now. I want you to heal and grow strong and well. There is time enough for this thing we have between us. Sing for me dear." The child stood and closed her eyes and rolled back her head and drew in breath. The music came from deep within her soul she used her diaphragm to push air through her vocal cords. Sweet tones filled the room and all that were in it stood transformed. Even the hardened old Jew tailor had tears in his eyes. He though that this new Christian music did not have the soul that Hebrew mantras did but then this new sect had only been around for 300 years where the God of Abraham had been running the universe since the beginning. He wondered what her voice could do with the piyyutim sung in synagogue. The Jew felt that he would never know for he was sure the recently converted Emperor would not allow this wondrous child to go slumming in the Jewish quarter. The small gathering wept with joy when Jackie finished her song. Arlin and Justin both hugged her and lavished kisses on the child. Her heart was near bursting with love and joy. It was still hard for her to comprehend just how much her life had changed. She sat between Justin and Arlin and they made a contest of who could feed her the most. She ate until she could hold no more. A stern older woman stormed in and grabbed the Emperor by his ear. "So do you wish to kill this song bird? Can you not see that she is not used to such rich food and this much? I am going to have to purge her now and that will not be pleasant. Come child away with me before these two louts kill you with kindness." Augusta Major the mother of the Emperor said as she turned to take the child into her vast apartment in the palace. "Mother she is fine. I just want her to be well and eat a bit." Justin said as he rubbed his ear. No one else in the empire would dare to lay a hand on him. But to Augusta he would always be her son and often misguided fool. "And you Arlin, you are no better stuffing her with goat cheese and plying her with wine like some cheep temple whore." she scolded her second son as she pulled the shocked child into her arms. "Yes mother." was all that the man could come up with as he tried to keep from laughing, for to laugh at one of mother's rants was not a good idea not if one wanted to keep all of their body parts intact. "You there the Jew tailor, come with me. I can see that I will have to instruct you on the proper dress of The Consort." she ordered as she led a small army of slaves and attendants through the door and down a long hallway to her domain. "How does she do it? She must have spies everywhere. I just named her Consort here in my privet chambers and it took her not over a quarter hour to descend upon us like the wrath of God." Justin said as he shook his head and smiled for he knew that to fight his mother was to invite defeat. "True brother quite true, if your inelegance network was half a good as her's we would never be caught off guard." Arlin said to his older brother as he finished off the goat cheese and the last draughts of wine. "Speaking of temple whores I think it would be a pleasant distraction to indulge ourselves for the night. You know that you will not see the child until mother deems it proper. So come brother let us drink and fuck until we can do neither and pass into the arms of Morpheus and wake with splitting heads and aching cocks." Arlin said as he embraced his brother. "Sounds good to me. However I want to drop in on Gilles and see how his inquisition is going with the fat pig. I want to get some of that fucking ass' blood on my hands. When I think of the things he did to her, well let us say that it brings out the harder side of me." Justin said as he led his brother down to the lower levels of the vast palace. They could hear the fat pig screaming three floors above the dungeon. The rough guards at the dungeon door snapped to attention as they saw the Emperor himself coming down the dimly lit stone corridor. They were not used to seeing such a high ranking officer down here. Justin noted the shabby condition of the two brutes' uniforms and saw that they were both barbarians from the northern tribes. He fronded and made a note to have a word with their decturion. He was sure that the young Roman commander would get the pairs attention after the reaming he was going to give the decterian. The decturion was a leader of ten men which was a part of a larger block of a 100 men lead by a centurion. "Hail Caesar!" the two guards yelled as they snapped to attention and banged their right fist to their hearts. "Carry on men. I have business with that dying pig inside." Justin said as the men yanked open the double oak bound door. The low rock ceiling was dimly lit mostly by the flames of three charcoal braziers holding glowing red irons. There was a smoky pitch torch sputtering in its socket on the far wall. There was a low stone bench carved from the living rock of dungeon floor and the fat pig was chained to the rough table. The cook was nude and two of Gillis' assistants held his left leg as the Master inquisitor used a glowing red hot pair of pincers to remove the large toenail of the quivering foot. There was a most pleasant scream as the hot iron bit into fat flesh. "Now Marcuis tell me again the names of the men you sold the child to. I do not want you to simply give me the names of good citizens that have wronged you or who you have some piety grudge against. You know that we will have the child verify the list. If there are any names on it that should not be there it will go badly for your children and wife, That is to say if you even give a shit about them." "Ahaa no, no more it hurts so badly. I have told you all that I can remember. Ahaa, please... there was Thomas the stonecutter, Julian the miller..."Marcuis babbled on as he ticked off the names of the men and a few women that he had sold the child to. "Quite a list. This pig will give an ounce of flesh for each one. I will have his corpse flayed and served to the ones on this list." Justin said as he lifted a glowing orange red iron bar and shoved it up the slit in the fat pigs' cock. The screams filled the room as did the stench of burning human flesh. The cock swelled and then blackened and split as blood ran onto the rough stone table. The smoke curled up as the flesh was charred. "Shall I round up the men on this list? There are a few names that may cause a bit of a mess. There are two bishops and a cardinal and one Senator, Flavious Trimarious." Gilles asked as he handed a long list written on a cheep papyrus scroll. "No give them all an invitation to a privet dinner to be held for my new consort who has yet to be named publicly. I will have young Jackie standing behind a screen and she can let us know if each has used her. Let it be known that on this night the Emperor is calling on all both low and high borne to celebrate this joyous occasion. Marcuis here will be the main course. It will be a feast that will not soon be forgotten." Justin said as he yanked the rod from the charred ruined cock. "Might I suggest wine steeped in the death's angle shell? The poison is swift and the death it brings is horrid. It causes the body to eat itself from the inside out. The victims lay in a pool of their blood and shit as they dig at their flesh screaming in abject agony." Gilles said with an evil grin. He had good reason for Senator Flavious had tried to have Gilles stripped of his power and rank after he had questioned one of the Senator's bastard sons of which he had many. "Sounds like an excellent choice of wine to go with roasted pig. I shall leave the details to you my good inquisitor. Now I am off to dally in a temple whore or two. See to it that the pig does die too soon." the Emperor said as he and Arlin left the cold stone chamber of death. "It will be as you command my lord." Gilles said as he dipped an iron ladle into a pot of molten lead. He slowly let the silver liquid spill out over the charred cock as he further cauterized the wound. The pig was in fine voice as he let his displeasure be known. Jacquelyn lay back in another hot bath. Three nude black Nubian slaves rubbed soft oils into her skin and her hair was yet again cleaned with a foaming concoction from the Far East. The Emperor's mother sat in the tub with her as her makeup was scrubbed off. "Jacquelyn dear do eat another fig they are so very diclinous and good for one's bowels." Augusta said as she looked at the fair skinned Germanic child. Her own hair was a dark black shot through with lines of silver as she was aging despite all the work of beauticians and healers and numerous offerings to the gods; all of them for she had not yet taken up with this Jesus as her son had done. Justin was wise in that he allowed the people of Rome and all of its conquered lands to worship what ever god or gods the pleased as long as they paid there gold in taxes to the crown. She looked into the deep blue pools that were the child's eyes. Those eyes were yet bright and alive despite all that she had been through. The Emperor's mother saw something wondrous there. She was drawn into those cerulean orbs and found herself spinning deep into the child's soul. Augusta reached out and touched her face and brushed her fingers across her full red lips. She could almost feel the magic coursing through her flesh. It was no wonder the child had such a voice for she was surely the child of a Goddess. She did not know which one yet but she would have the priest slice open a goat and read the entrails for the sign. "Thank you Lady Augusta, they are very rich and do taste delicious." Jackie said as she took one of the brown dried fruits and munched on it. "Well I think that you are finally clean. So let us now go and try on some of the rags this huckster of a Jew has dared to bring before us." she said as she shooed off the Nubian slaves and the two females arose nude and wet from the bath. The Nubian slave girls returned with fluffy cotton towels from Egypt and dried then from head to toe. "Aha your Majesty you bring great sorrow to my heart as I have labored mightily as was your command. I have used only the finest Damascus silk and beaten Egyptian linen. Once her scars are removed this off the shoulder dress will accent her natural beauty." the old Jew said as he held up a white silk robe that flowed like ice water over the small child's body. He dug a gold chain belt from a box that held more wealth than young Jackie had ever seen or knew existed. He adjusted the gown and fastened the jeweled clasp on the belt and stood back to admire his handwork. "Hum, the threads look a bit lose and poorly done. Did some blind monkey do the work?" the older woman bantered with the Jew as was her custom. "Noble Majesty I assure you that only the finest silk was used in constructing this dress. My own daughter sew it up herself. Perhaps a string of pearls circling her throat would set the gown off." he answered as he found the proper length of the white orbs to encircle her throat. "There now even you can find no fault in the work now." he said as he took in the wondrous child before him. "It will do, now what else have you cobbled together and hope to pawn off at an exorbitant price?" she said as she smiled at the child who stood wide eyed as she looked at her image in a polished silver mirror held by a black slave girl. "What do you think child? Is this a fitting dress to the Consort of the Emperor of the known world?" she said with a chuckle in her voice. "OH dear each one is more wondrous than the one before. I never knew that such soft superb things existed. I think it is fine. Far too nice for me." Jackie said suddenly overtaken by all that had happened today. "None of that child, it seems I shall have to instruct you on the finer points of clothing a person of your status. I keep forgetting that your were a low scullery maid just a few hours ago. But I do fear that even I could not corrupt your underlying goodness. Well I can try." she said taking the sobbing child into her arms. Justin's army of scribes worked into the night as they turned out gilded command invitations to the names that came from the dungeon. At first light fifty squads spread out through the vast city pounding on portals and awakening slumbering men and women of note and wealth. The scrolls bearing the Emperor's seal were thrust into the hands of troubled servants as they then ran to deliver the official summons. Rumor quickly filled the city as to who this Consort was. Many said that it was the greatgrandauhter of Cleopatra while others said that it was an unknown young woman from the south of Rome and the daughter of a very wealthy wine merchant. Notes of alarm were sent among the members who received the command invitations. The list of names made no sense as there were both noble and low born on it. What was the common thread? Only one man knew that thread and he was in no positon to utter any sane words as his mind had snapped from the intense agony he was enduring. They arrived in twos and threes some early and some just at the appointed hour. The group mingled about in front a large feast hall and waited for the doors to be opened. A personal servant of the Emperor's appered and read off a list of names. The most powerful and wealthiest were called in first as was their right and custom. The hall had been filled with fresh flowers and shown bright from the hundreds of bee'swax candles burning in golden holders. A mighty feast was laid on tables the sagged under the weight. Behind each chair stood a Roman Legonair in full dress armor. Each of the guests was led one at a time to greet their Emperor. He stood infornt of a silk screen and nodded as a red stone was dropped into a sliver challas. There was a golden one that so far was empty. Giveonus a scribe was called in next. He greeted the Emperor and to his sorro was taken aside and told that there was a mistake and that his invtation had been in error. He was given a sack contaning three gold crowns and sent on his way. The young man did not know how lucky he was that Jackie had signaled that he had never touched her. Marcuis had hatted the boy for some un-rembered offience he had given the now dead cook. The others were seated and a strong pressing of new wine was serived. When the last guest was seated Justin moved to the head table and the guest rose and called out his name. He raised his arms and bade them sit. "Friends and noble sirs, I am sure you are all wondering why you were invited here this evening. As the invtation states I have chousan a Consort. There for I charge you all to drink a toste to her." as he spoke a dark red wine was put in their chalices. They all drank deeply from the cups and then raised them high in the air. "Noble sirs and comman citizens I give you the Lady Jaquline." he said as a curtian was pulled apart and she stood before them. There were shouts of disbelief as some in the room recognized the young whore. Others did not match the wonderous being before them to the thin little gutter whore sold by the cook. The Roman Ligoniers standing behind the shocked guest kept any from leaving their table. A few were clubbed when they foolishly struggled with the solders. Senator Flavious Trimarious tuned to the Emperor in disbelief, "Justin you can not be serious. She is nothing more than a cheep gutter whore. I fuck her each morning for a few bits of copper." "Oh but I am very serious, she is my Consort and the fact that you have used her is why you and the others are here. I should let the wine do its dirty work but you have earned my personal attention." Justin said as he drove his dagger deep into the shocked Senator's chest. The iron blade split his breastbone and severed his beating hart. He ripped the knife out of the dying man's chest and let him fall to the floor. The poison was starting to act as a dozen or more of the panicked guest fell cramped to the floor. They vomited blood and screamed in agony as their bodies were racked by the fast acting toxin. Within a few more minutes all of the guest were either dead or dying as they jerked and ripped at their flesh. Justin ordered his solders to sever the heads of all the dead and have them put on pikes on the city wall. Their corpses were taken to a rendering plant to be turned into fish food. He left his guards to carry out his orders and returned to his privet chamber where young Jackie had be taken to as soon as Justin had introduced her. The child was sitting with his brother Arlin. They were playing a game of Rook and from the sound of it the child was winning. "I see you are corrupting her morals now bother?" he said as he went to a washbasin and cleaned the blood from his hands. He removed his tunic and his body slave came and offered him a clean one. "It is she that is corrupting me dear brother. I think the gods mark the pieces for her. She never errors and has taken me for a months pay, that is if you did pay me." Arlin countered as he made another losing throw. "It is done then?" he asked as he sobbered letting the game pieces fall to the round inlaided table. "Yes it is done, but let us not speak of it again. Jaqulin dear I have some people that are overjoyed to see you." he said as he nodded to his servant and the child's parents were ushered in. "Oh momma, daddy!" she cried as she ran to their arms. "Darling I have missed you so. I thought that I would never see you again. Thanks be to God" her mother cried as she hugged the child to her. Her father hung back his head lowered as he wept for he knew that it was his fault that his daughter had fallen into the clutches of such an evil man as Marcius. "How did all of this happen child?" her mother cried as she kissed her child and hugged her fiercely not daring to let her go for another instant. "I went down to hear the music in the forbidden chamber and I just started to sing and then The Emperor found me and asked me to sing again for him and I did. He told me that Marcius can never hurt me again and that I am to live here with him in this wonderous place. I have missed you so very much mother. I tried to do what Marcius wanted but he did such awful things to me." Jackie said as tears filled her blue eyes. "I am sorry dear we were such fools your father and I." her mother said as she looked at her husband with distain. "That is all in the past now and I shall hear no more such talk. Let us look forward to the years of joy this angle shall bring us. Uthor I am told that you are a woodcutter by trade. I want you to go and see Master Antnious my shipwright. This letter will introduce you. He will have work for you. Have you had any problems settling into Marcius' household?" Justin asked as he took the child's father aside. "No, noble majesty, all of his servants seem glad that the old fucker is dead and gone. How can I thank you for all that you have done for us?" the grim man asked as he openly wept. "Think nothing of it. I have done more for a gladator in the games that has won me a few gold crowns. It is the least that I could do for the father of my Consort. Now I am told that there is a bit of a feast laid out for us. Come my angle and take my arm." he said as the child pulled away from her mother and went willingly into the young darkhaired Roman's arms. The door was opened into a long feast hall that held a few of the Emperor's closest friends and hangers-on. The people there took up the chant of "Hail Cesar, Ave Jacquelyn." The pair walked down the center isle to the head table where Justin's mother was already seated. They stopped in front of the long table and turned to face the crowed. "Friends, Noble Romans, I this day declair this bit of wonder to be my Consort. Citizens of the Empire I give you Jaquelyn the voice of God's Angel." Justin said as he lifted her right hand in the air. The assembled crowed cheered and rose from their seats picking up the chant of Jaquelyn, Jaquelyn, Jaquelyn. Lady Augusta Major led the cheering as she beamed her joy. Justin turned to his child wonder and spoke into her ear. The child smile and nodded her approval of what he had said. The Emperor gave a singnal to a small orchestra seated to the rear of the room. Then he raised his hands to silence the crowed. Once the cheering had subside he spoke, "My friends I have the great pleasuer to have dear Jackie to sing for us. She shall grace us with Ava Maria." He said as he kissed her on the cheek and then took his seat. The young blond calmed herself and drew in a lungful of air. She raised her head and closed her eyes as the first notes of the aria came from the small ensemble. She opened her mouth and a rich soothing sound flowed from her. The words rose and fell as the crowed sat in hushed amasment. Jackie worked through the piece and soon the aria came to its end. There was a moment of silence and then the room exploded in cheers as all there were on their feet and calling for more. The child nodded in joy as he drank in the acclaim the people were giving her. She looked to Justin seeking his permission to sing another song. Justin was beaming broadly and he nodded telling the child to sing another. The young girl asked the ensemble leader to come to her side where she requested they play Pie Jesu for her. She followed the music and her sweet voice once again filled the room. The sacred words brought the audience to tears as they watched the child express the power of her work feeling each note as her body moved with the music. The song came to a close and there was a moment of stillness as the crowed caught their breath. The rushed to the child and lifted her high shouting her praise as they each longed to touch the blessed girl. Justin joined the throng and pushed his way to his Consort. He got to her side and she worked her way into his arms. His guards forced their way to his side and they moved from the room. The small group quickly moved through the palace to the Emperor's privet chambers. Justin held Jackie in his arms and they kissed. "Darling Jackie you were wonderful. I am glad that those at the feast could hear how amazing you are." he said as he let his hands caress her body. "I am so happy. I can not find words to tell you how much. When you touch me like this it makes all the bad touching go far, far away. I love you Justin." the child said as she found his lips and kissed him deeply. "Oh my love." Justin whisperd to his lover's ear as he pulled from her kiss. He carried her into his bedchamber and they fell onto it. The child's gown slid off her body as she worked the deep red tunic from Justin's body. She trembled as she touched his chest. Jackie lay her head on him and reached down touching his now firm cock. He let her take the lead not wanting to pressuer her. She kissed his nipple as she explored his rigged member. Jackie felt the heat pulsing though his penis and wanted to have him fill her. She moved down and guided his cock between her legs. The wide head spread her vulva and she shuttered as he entered her body. Her passage was tight and clung to his meat. She worked her hips and with a thrust of her hips he was fully inside of her. She let her vagina stretch and then once the slight pain faded she began to ride him. Justin put his hands on her hips and lifted her as he pushed in and out of her young tight body. She lay back her head and let out a sigh of joy as her body responded to his fucking. Her passage became wet as she pumped out her mung. His lubricated dick slid in and out of her. He marvled at the soft feel of her passage as it clung to his cock. He pulled her down to him and their mouths met in a long deep kiss. She felt him roll her over and then he mounted her and brought her to her first orgasum. Her body quivered as she jerked with each thrust. He felt his balls tighten and knew that he was going to flood her immature womb with his seed. He felt her throw her legs around his hips and drive him deeper into her body as he shot his load. Jackie rocked her body against her lover and knew the love a man for the fist time. She bonded to him and knew that she would kill for him. She hugged his body passionately and wanted this new joy to go on forever. He lay on her panting his body bathed in sweat. "My dear I am sorry that I did not last very long. You are so wonderful, I have never had a woman or girl feel so good to me." he whispered in her ear. "Oh my darling I do not think that I could have taken much more. I thought that my body was going to burst from ecstasy. Will it always be like this?" the young child said with wide eyes as she tried to climb inside of her lover. "If God is willing, I hope it is so my dear. I did not hurt you did I?" he asked as a frown crossed his brow. " OH no sir, it felt wonderful. I have never had sex be so sweet and kind. I love you so very much dear." she cried into her lover's ear. "That is good to hear, I could not forgive myself if I had harmed you in any way. Let me do something nice for you darling." he said as he moved down between her legs and spread the smooth lips of her vulva and placed his mouth over her wet opening. He felt her body jerk as his tongue worked her deeper licking all of his cum and her child's mung from her vagina. Justin found the nub of her clitoris and worked the fleshy nub until the child cried out that she could take no more of the wonderful feeling. She shot a long thick rope of female cum feeding her lover who drank it all up and made her pump out more until she wiggled out of his arms and then dove down to his now stiff cock and returned the favor. She sucked his cock and soon had him explode into her willing mouth. They romped and rolled throughout the night. When the sun rose the fell into eahcother's arms and slept unitl his mother barged in and rousdted from a plesent slumber. "Well all good things to have to cum to an end, and it looks like you have done that quite a bit dear. Justin the Senat is in an uproar over the death of that pig Flavious Trimarious, and they are demanding that you explain yourself to them." his mother said as she admired the nude child laying on the bed. She had nasty thought of her sweet body in her mouth as the child returned the favor. "Fuck the Senat, can't you see I am busy." he said as he pulled the child to his arms and another round of fucking broke out. "Well if that his how you are going to be move over and let mother show you how its done." the older woman said as she pulled off her dress and dove in the bed touching cock and pussy as best she could. Jackie and Justin were nice and let mother play to. This is a work of fiction. If you try what worked in old Rome you will end up in a modren jail cell with a nasty nigger named Bubba.
