But at least Otho won't have to slink off alone Nero says Otho can take Drusilla with him.
NPR: Unjust Rewards: Monteverdi's 'Poppea'
That night, Otho quietly enters Poppea's room with his dagger in hand, but Cupid intervenes and prevents the murder.
Poppea wakes up just as the disguised Otho is running away.
Nero then decides to spare Otho from a death sentence.
That's too much for Otho, who isn't completely without scruples.
In spite of everything, she's still in love with Otho.
So, when she's brought before Nero for judgment, she says it really was her that Poppea saw that night and that Otho had nothing to do with it.
Instead, she orders Otho to commit the crime.
