"Let them hate me, so they can be afraid of me." - Calagura, the Roman tyrant

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

With that, Seville cried and threw a dagger in front of Brutus' eyes, then tore his shirt to reveal her breasts, and shouted to her son, "How did you kill Julius, he is in this courtyard, he is in this courtyard!" Every day, from morning till night, covered in blood, he told me that Seville was in such pain, because it was Brutus, who killed me, who loved me the most. Did you take a dagger and stab him in the chest like that? Then kill me too, for I am the mistress of a tyrant, a prodigal woman who makes my son despised, come and kill me, and do not have any concern or hesitation, just as you once did to Caesar whom you loved the most, and now your mother can sue you, you are definitely your father's son, and by no means Caesar's child, but he never treats you as an outsider, he just wants you to be happy, otherwise he will definitely put you in his will and make you the enemy of all, you elm pimple head, Where the hell did my kind child go? The evil spirit has carried him away into the wind! ”

Brutus clung to the dagger and crushed it under him, curled up on his mother's body, gnawing at the soil of the garden in his mouth, not wanting or wanting to cry. The slaves and servants around Seville grabbed Seville and helped her put her clothes back on.

"Leave, Brutus." Seville finally uttered the phrase, "Since you killed Caesar." Then don't worry about it anymore. Because you have taken off the robe of a philosopher. Put on the armor of the sword slave and walk into the Colosseum, either to accept the cheers of the people of Wan Huan, or to dry the blood like a dead fish and fall on the sand. Take on the challenge, Brutus. Then a maid with combed hair brought out a fine box, and Seville opened it. Inside is a small crown that captivates the city and the country, "This is what Julius gave me before his death, worth six million Cesses, and I should use it for my own business." Remember, child, it is not terrible to die, it is terrible to die like a fool, it is not difficult to kill Caesar, and the most difficult thing for you in the future is how to prove to the world that you are a person who is qualified to end Caesar's life. ”

At this time. Brutus looked up and trembled as he placed the family ring on his ring finger. Then he took the box, and his mother's dagger, "Mother, please allow me to accept these two things, either I will achieve my ideals and become famous, or I will use this dagger to end my life so far." ”

In the garden of the house of Attia and Phillips, in addition to the host and his wife, only Libida, Porti, and Antony and his wife Fulivia, as well as the commanders of the tenth, twelfth, and sixth legions, and Caesar's lieutenants, Sekedilius, Carrenus, and Angandinus, were the only participants.

According to Anthony's original request, the banquet should have good wine, fresh oysters, and all kinds of luxurious pleasures, a large number of musicians and dancers, and Phillips, who was anxious to convince the two cavalry commanders, also began to prepare for this matter, but in the middle of the banquet Li Bida immediately sent Mattia, saying, "This banquet must be simple, because there are very important matters to discuss, and no one wants to drink too much." ”

After the fourth quarter of the afternoon, several of the people who had attended the banquet came to Attia's courtyard with a small number of servants, and Anthony swaggered to the exclusive couch, sat down, and then his eyes continued to harass and tease the hostess, and from time to time had too intimate physical contact with the maid serving the wine and dishes, until Fulivia could no longer bear it and reprimanded him, and then relented.

After marriage, Anthony said that it was strange and strange, that is, no matter how debauched he was, he also bowed down to his wife's requirements, and his former fox friends laughed at him for being afraid of guilt, but Anthony would seriously retort that it was because I was mature.

Now the inhabitants of Palatine Hill also circulate the judgment that the Roman Marco is in power. Antony was afraid of only two people, one was Frivia and the other was Lypidaus.

Now, in the courteous greeting of the male host, Li Bida held hands with Porti and led a few regimental generals to walk in, "Marco, you arrived earlier than me. After saying that, Li Bida took off his robe, hugged Anthony, and sat on the couch, Potty stood on the side, and several commanders also sat down slightly on the periphery, "The queen of heaven praises tonight, there are exactly nine people, which is about the same number as the muse." As soon as Phillips sat down, the compliments continued, "and there were enough men to preside over the future fate of Rome, our cavalry commanders, and the generals." ”

Phillips then raised his glass and toasted the Muses and the fate of Rome.

When Anthony was about to do so, Li Bida spoke, "Regarding this banquet, I think I have advised everyone, for the time being, restrain yourself, do not leave a handle to anyone, or rather, this is not a banquet, but a secret meeting, to discuss what we should do about Caesar's cause, so as not to be usurped by the murderer." After saying that, Li Bida took the lead in taking the verbena-soaked water and drank it, and just as Phillips was about to persuade him to drink, he asked, "How is Turinus over there?" ”

"A messenger has been sent to Apollonia to inform him of his uncle's tragedy." Atia said sadly, hearing this, everyone lost the interest in drinking and eating.

"That's fine, after all, Turinus is his uncle's first heir, and he has the right to know at the moment." Li Bida also said in a mournful tone, and then he glanced at Antony, who was silent, and said, "But don't ask Turinus to come back for the funeral for the time being, it may not be reasonable to ask for it, but I don't want this child to be involved in a fierce battle too soon until the dust settles on His Excellency Caesar's funeral and inheritance." Our war doesn't have a future yet, isn't it, Mark? ”

And Anthony seemed to be in deep thought, until Fulivia slammed him hard, "Yes, that's why we invited the three generals to participate in this secret meeting!" ”

Then, the commanders of the three legions stood up and swore allegiance to Caesar's cause and to the current cavalry commander, and Li Bida bowed his head and said, "I am very pleased with you, especially the Tenth Legion, which was previously the most personal and trusted legion of His Excellency Julius, and this time he must not be disappointed in Hades." Immediately the rewards of the soldiers, I will ask Pisso to distribute them in full and in full according to the will of His Excellency Caesar. In addition, what is the attitude of the eighth, ninth, and eleventh legions? ”

"These legions also have a deep relationship with His Excellency Caesar, and it is not a big problem to pull them over." Angandinus said with confidence.

"What about the Fifth Lark Legion? They must have stayed in the city of Utica in Africa, right? Lybida turned his gaze to Anthony, for the commander of the legion was his brother Gaius. (To be continued......)
