The timeline is 43 BCE - Rome
Julius Caesar is the most infamous ruler and emperor of the time. He was the most feared man in all of Rome, and everyone knew who he was. He was also the most powerful man, too. He have everything that his heart desired, except for one thing.. An empress.
Anyone would think that someone like Caesar wouldn't need an empress by his side, that he could take care of his empire by himself without anyone there, but the truth was that he did want an empress by his side.. And he was practically desperate for it. He would often find himself longing for someone to share a bed with in his quarters late at night. Someone who he could talk to when he needed. Someone who would be there by his side through the ups and downs of ruling over his empire and his army. Just someone who he could share all that with, who he could be happy with. Even his men were realizing the changes in their emperor, though he would harshly snap at them when they would bring it up or try to talk to him about it. They saw the changes in their ruler, but they didn't know just how desperate that their ruler was for a partner, and just how alone he was feeling..
It was a rather sunny day in Rome, and Caesar was in his quarters, a quill in one hand as he was writing out on some paper very important letters. As he was in the middle of scribbling, one of Caesar's men knocked on the doors to his quarters before they entered. "My emperor.." The man started off. "Your men came back from the scavenging trip that you sent them on in Greece, and they've mentioned something about finding a woman there." The man said. "She rules over a village in Greece. It's no empire like yours, but.. They say that she would be a great fit for you, my emperor. Perhaps she's worth a trip up there and getting to know her?" He suggested to Caesar.
Upon hearing this, Caesar did a very good job at hiding his excitement, and how his heart was already fluttering at the thought of having a woman by his side to help rule over his empire, like he was so desperately wanting. "Very well.." Caesar said. "Get my chariot ready, and I will put on my finest robes. We will then make way to Greece to meet this woman. If she's as fitting as my men say that she is, then perhaps we shall be returning back to Rome with her to join my empire..."
