This was wrong. Oh Gods... How could he dare to even gaze upon you in any other way than the hero the people of Rome paint you as? Brutus did not know.

And the Senators, Cassius... They all scheme to gain power for themselves. Not to bring greatness to Rome and give the people freedom once more, a dictator you had turned into as the position of Emperor had been thrust upon you without any warning it seemed. But Brutus knew you better than they all did, and he knew for certain that you are no better than any other human being and immediately bent and relished in your new authority. Which had led to the Senate growing wearier as they steadily lost any power or control they had in deciding laws over the years.
