“This is my home!” Little Hessiana said happily, holding a twig in front of a rather shabby-looking home.

It was a typical Roman-style residence with wood as its framework and a mixture of primitive pozzolanic cement as well as masonry. It was square in shape and had tall walls. From the looks of it, the people living there had to have carefully managed the house. It was clean, and there were no weeds around it. Plus, all the damaged parts of the house had been carefully repaired. But due to endless bad luck, the building itself showed a poor and broken temperament. The house was also surrounded by a large uninhabited and dilapidated area. People stayed away from the place as if they were avoiding the plague.

“Vivian’s considered a respected goddess in this era and even Caesar’s afraid of her. Why doesn’t she just ask Caesar for help? She needs a palace or something, at least, to live in…” Lily muttered softly

Hessiana shook her head and explained, “Because Vivian didn’t want to harm people. She knew about her bad luck. If she had asked Caesar for help, there would have been no Roman Empire in history.”

Lily just kept quiet.

Regardless, the little version of Hessiana was obviously very satisfied with her “home”. She was proud to introduce her guests to the place. “This house used to be owned by a human, but the man died. Nobody took care of the house, so Mama brought me here! We’ve been living here for years…”

Hao Ren was stunned. He just realized that even the broken house in front of him was not Vivian’s property. It was only after the original owner had abandoned it that it fell into Vivian’s hands. That was probably the only way Vivian ever got a house to live in.

Lily found it a little strange when she heard what the little girl said. She glanced at Hessiana and asked, “Didn’t you say that Vivian and you wandered a hundred miles around Rome? Why do you still have a permanent residence?”

“It’s over a span of decades. We did wander around, but it’s not contradictory to find a place to settle down for a short time, right? Besides, 2,000 years have passed. How could I remember exactly where I lived at this point in time?” Hessiana answered.

Then, she looked up at the house in front of her, which she once called “home”.

The old gate, the mottled outer wall, and the falling eaves all reminded her of even more memories.

“After Lady Vivian left, I stayed here for a short time. However, the house was soon burned down by a fire. I wandered around the city ever since, until I later found a nearby place to live on my own, but I never dared to venture out too far for fear that Lady Vivian wouldn’t be able to find me if she came back. Now that I think about it, it wasn’t easy at that time: the ancient Greek gods had fallen, and demon hunters had begun to search the human world for survivors who escaped from Mount Olympus. I didn’t know anything at first and I almost got caught several times…”

Hasse heard her and touched his nose in embarrassment. He did not know what to say when they talked about demon hunters.

“Forget it, I don’t want to recall those unhappy things. Lady Vivian’s still waiting for us,” Hessiana smiled and led the way into the house like a host.

“Ahem… Theoretically, you’re now a guest here. The owner of this house is this little girl…” reminded Hao Ren.

Hessiana was dumbfounded.

She wanted to say that the little girl next to her was herself after all, but she did not say anything when she saw the innocent expression on the little girl’s face. Instead, she said, “Why was I so cute?”

Little Hessiana did not understand what had just happened. She was still far from the shrewd and skillful leader who was good at combat. The little girl still had a pure heart. She was delighted to have visitors and she tried to treat “Mama’s friends” in what she imagined was the right way. She ushered them into the hall with no furnishings, except a long table and several chairs. Then she ran around looking for food and drinks. Hao Ren looked at her and said, “What a wonderful child you used to be, but now…”

“Yes?” Hessiana glared at him. “It’s not easy to stay the same after experiencing so many things, okay?”
