The crowd went absolutely wild as Agrippina entered the royal box and held her arms outstretched in response to the crowd's reaction.
The shouts from the crowd rang with Agrippina's various nick names - the fairly obvious ones were 'Agi' and 'Grippa', but some rather less obvious descriptions such as 'Gut Buster', 'Blaster' and 'Slugger'. Such terms did not really seem to fit the very feminine figure that now stood in the royal box acknowledging the praise of the crowd.
As the noise from the audience died down, Agrippina turned and addressed the Governor in a loud, clear voice, "Your Honour, I am yours to command!"
Petronus glowered at her; "Where the fuck have you been Agrippina!" he said in a quiet voice that the crowd would not hear.
Agrippina gulped "I have been in the washroom, Sir!  I think I ate a bad oyster last night."
"You indeed look flushed and sweaty!  Are you well enough to fight for me or should I find another to take your place?"
"No your Honour, I am feeling better now and am ready to do your bidding!" said Agrippina anxiously, knowing that if she declined the Governor's command now her life would be worth nothing.
"OK Agrippina, but you better win this fight or I may decide to have this Nubian do something very unpleasant with you at the end!"
