That man overthere looks just like a Roman soldier!!!
Chapter 8
Thieves!!!
But we haven’t done anything wrong, you are an idiot
What did this scrawny, thieving peasant dare tocall me?
Shurrup Charlie!!!
Chapter 9
I could have forgiven you the theft of a chicken but not for telling me idiot
If we can show that Blutos is in fact an idiot, will you promise not to hurt my brother?
If you said you have 10 fingers why now you think they are 11?
Yes, I'm an idiot!
Charlie reappeared on the other side of the park in the 21st Century, Tilda thought just a few seconds had passed. He was panicked and told her the doorway worked, all in the journal was real, he then forced her to pass to the other side, and a Roman soldier was waiting for them.
Chapter 10
Oh, I see!!! It’s where we take ordinary children when mistakes like this are made
The Hackers ran from a swamp with piggs where a woman told them to quick. They were in the middle of a yard filled with startledchickens and geese. A troubled farmer threw open the door of his hut to investigate what was causing all the commotion and shout "thieves". So the soldiers trap them.
Chapter 11
He did it deliberately. I knewhe was trouble as soon as I saw him
Brigante savage what have you did
Charlie was going to be punished by Romans for treason when Tilda said they needed to give him a chance to defend himself. They refused so she asked if she showed the soldier was actually an idiot they could go away. She used an old playground trick about fingers to prove it.
Chapter 12
Can they just eat less?
Guests have to show him how much they’reenjoying his banquet by eating as much as they can
The Roman soldiers did not let the siblings go freely. They needed to serve as slaves for Emperor Septimus in that night's banquet. They were taken to the fortress where they told the slave master it was all a mistake. The slave master threw them on a steep flight of stone stairs leading somewhere dark. Charlie felt guilty about being there.
This is all my fault, I insisted to find the time-travelling portal
We’re notslaves at all, you see. We’re just ordinary children
The siblings understood being a slave for Emperor Septimus was not that fun. They both were taken to the caldarium, a place where they bathed people and took their sweat off to important humans such as princesses or lords. Charlie confused about the bucket and instead of taking the one of clean water he took the one with putrid sweat and he was going to be punished for it.
It was an accident
Water
Sweat
We droped all the sweat on this Persian
Charlie was sent to the Emperor's Banquet doing vomit duty, which meant to pick the pukes of guts up the most important people Eboracum (the ancient name for York) threw. This meant respect for the Emperor. Charlie thought it was nasty, he needed to take this vomit buckets.
