Solomon's City, Campo de' Fiori.

"This is the largest flower distribution center in Solomon City. You can find all kinds of exotic flowers from almost every country here." Nora introduced to the girls, "In addition, there are many other products, such as fresh fruits and vegetables, drinks, or beautiful headwear, clothes, etc. It has now become a must-go shopping place for Solomon women every day."

"Really?" Sheila looked at the bustling shops all over the street and couldn't help but admire them.

The girls' shopping prowess is comparable to the patience of men in playing games. By 7pm, they had already visited all the stores around the Flower Square, carrying large and small bags of various goods.

"What is that?" Sidlifa asked, looking at the huge circular building across the square.

"That's the Pompey Theater," Nora introduced. "Pompey was a famous general of the ancient Solomon Republic in the late Third Age. He was once hostile to Caesar. In order to win the hearts of the Roman people, he built a huge theater there."

"Because the Pompey family holds the blood of giants, this theater is also called the 'Giant Theater'."

"What is Caesar's bloodline?" Sidlifa asked curiously.

“Dragon.” This time it was Shira who answered, “The bloodline of the Julius family is the dragon.”

"That's right." Nora agreed, "Caesar's nephew Octavian also has dragon blood. After Caesar was assassinated, he suppressed the rebel forces and finally became the Roman emperor. From then on, Augustus became synonymous with the dragon god."

"I remember that the Saxon family also has dragon blood." Eleanor said.

"Otherwise, why would the Emperor of the Holy Solomon Empire call himself Augustus?" said Sheila.

"What a shame." Sidlifa muttered, "If Pompey could have defeated Caesar, Augustus wouldn't be synonymous with the dragon god... Maybe it could be called 'the giant's god'? Giant God?"

"Instead of counting on the ancients to make the blood of giants famous, why don't you work hard on your own, Sidlifa?" Medea joked, "If you can create achievements like Caesar, then in the future when people mention extraordinary people with the blood of giants, the first person they think of will not be Pompey, but you."

"Well said." Sidlifa was a little excited. "What nickname should I have? Let me make it clear that I don't want to be called 'Augustus'. Too many people call me that."

"'Augustus' means the Holy One," said Sheila. "'Emperor' was given the name by the later Emperor Solomon. In fact, it doesn't matter what you call it. As long as you have made great achievements, future generations will be proud of your name even without a nickname."

"But I think this name is too common." Sidlifa said, "We in the North like to give girls names with four syllables, such as 'Sidlifa', 'Alvet', 'Zerolu', 'Hefjot', 'Orluen'. They don't sound distinctive at all."

"Or you could try adding the adjective 'physical features'?" Eleanor suggested. "For example, my ancestor, Lord Otto, had fire-related blood that caused his hair to permanently turn red. Everyone called him 'Red-haired Otto'. Doesn't it sound much better than 'Otto'?"
