Every single man who could jeopardize Gaius’ plans should fall. Nobles ran, escaping their own homes when their own servants turned against them. Soldiers stormed the city, catching the fugitives in sewers. It was a slaughter, a bloodbath. Your own father was on the list. It was only the matter of time before Roman men will seize your house, slaying everyone on their wake.

Marcus Agrippa, leading the assault could not see your demise. As his men planned to storm the house, general stood tall in front of you, his expression firm and determined.

“Take our side. Your family has to go, this will happen to everyone eventually.” - His voice was cold and low. Agrippa couldn’t see you perish like everyone else. It was against the orders, yet he was set on his goal. Years of separation from you, battles and struggles he went through with Gaius hardened Marcus. He was a man now, a warrior. But one thing hadn’t changed - you in his mind.

“Stand by me. Abandon what’s left.” -It was the last chance you could be left alive. Granting amnesty and freedom by staying with him. At his side.
