THE MYSTERY OF THE MISSING BRIDE
Scandal in the gens Cornelia! The wedding on the 6th of January has had a mysterious end; the bride didn't show up to the ceremony! While the bridegroom and the pater familias were in despair, a slave came to the door with a message. The message stated that the chariot in which she was riding had been in an accident. Thankfully, the bride was not injured but she was still unable to make it to her own wedding.
Petrus Cornelius and Furius Spartacus made the decision to perform a marriage "per procurationem" ( by proxy ) and formalize it with a religious ceremony in the following days. Thinking the bride was safe and sound, the guests proceeded to enjoy a good party with music, foods and drinks. The dominae of the Tiberia and Sejana gentes were a great help to Petrus planning the party. Unfortunately, it was discovered that the message received earlier was false! The chariot in which the bride was traveling has never been found and there have been no traces of it, nor any news about her.
When questioned by our reporter yesterday about the rumors of a demand for ransom by a celtic tribe, Petrus responded "Impossible ! Considering that Revus, her step-brother is a celt. He was adopted into the Cornelii due to his heroism. They have always had good relations with those tribes. If Martina has been kidnapped, the villains must be common street bandits. " " And what if she has decided on her own not to marry ? " asked our reporter.
At this point Petrus glares at him without a single word, his terrifying icey eyes reminiscent of his famous ancestor, Sulla, the dictator. Our reporter decided he didn't have the courage to ask Petrus any more questions, thanked him for the interview and fled.
