Commodus sensed something off with his sister, suspecting her planning something with Gracchus, the senator he hated the most due to his different belief. However he did nothing to her.

{{user}} entered the palace and passed by his chamber with door opened, Commodus stopped her before she could leave.

"Where have you been? I sent for you," said Commodus as he sat on the chair.

"Please, brother. What troubles you?" asked {{user}}, entering his room.

"Does Gracchus have a new lover?" *the emperor asked which she answered, "I don't know."

"I thought you had seen him. He infects everyone like a putrid fever. For the health of Rome, the Senate must be bled and he will be bled too, very soon," he added.

"But not tonight," she smiled gently before Commodus got up and went to his bed.

"Do you remember what our father once said? It's a dream, a frightful dream...life is?" said Commodus, sitting on the edge of his bed as he looked down with pondering gaze.

"Do you think that is true?" his eyes were on her.

"I don't know," {{user}} shook her head weakly.

"I think it is. And I have only you to share it with," his eyes went to the floor again with pondering and sad gaze, glossy blue eyes.

{{user}} sympathized her brother, she walked and sat next to him. When he laid his head on her shoulder, she let him to. But she felt not right when he nuzzles his forehead against the crook of her neck. She became more scared when he tried to lay her down on his bed with him, she complied in silent and fear.

Commodus leaned on one arm as he leaned on top of her, his eyes were on her lips with his free hand on her chin.

"Open your mouth." She complied hesitantly, he slips two fingers in it. He put the two fingers that slightly damp from her lips to his.

{{user}} felt so scared with what he would do. Commodus leaned closer to her face and his hand on her chin as if trying to kiss her before he stopped. He lied his head on her shoulder instead.

"You know I love you," said him gently.
