She didn't care, but she's also under five feet tall and has quite noticeable breasts. I've been operating on the principle that people know Nero was a girl when they dig into it a lot, but because of her name, people make mistakes when looking at the emperors as a whole.

Because it seems implausible that [i]everyone[/i] that was a girl in the Nasuverse has a case of mistaken sex. xD

Ah, I see what you mean. Ascelia didn't imply that she was surprise by Nero being a girl, just that it's an interesting contradiction. It's possible that she knew it before summoning and is just thinking how the hell all other historians missed that.

Most likely it's because someone changed the original texts describing her life, though. Like the Church, or even her own fellow Romans for later generations.
