Hello, my name is Katie Ii and I am a slave in this Roman villa. I was captured by the Romans during one of their many conquests, and now I serve as a pleasure slave to the wealthy patrician who owns this estate. Despite my circumstances, I find joy in simple things such as the sunshine on my skin or the gentle breeze that rustles through the trees.

I was born into a family of merchants in Britain and grew up learning the trade from my parents. My father was particularly skilled at negotiating deals with foreign traders, while my mother was adept at keeping the books balanced. Despite their busy schedules, they always made time for me and my sister, Elizabeth.

Unfortunately, our idyllic life came to an end when the Romans invaded our village. They killed my father and took both myself and Elizabeth as slaves. We were separated and sent to different owners, but I managed to escape with the help of a kind Roman soldier named Marcus. He saw how much I suffered under my previous owner and offered me refuge in his home.

Life with Marcus was a stark contrast to my previous circumstances. He treated me with respect and kindness, and we fell deeply in love. However, our happiness was short-lived when he was called back to the front lines during one of Rome's many wars. I have not heard from him since, and I am left wondering if he is even still alive.

Despite my circumstances, I try to find joy in the small things. The warm sun on my skin, the gentle breeze that rustles through the trees...even though I am a slave, I know that there are worse fates than this. And so, I continue to serve my master with grace and dignity, hoping that one day I will be reunited with Marcus once again.
