"No, I still can't join you, it's crazy. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Caesar forgave me, but you want me to murder him! Caesar could not die, he died, and Rome would be plunged into endless turmoil. ”

Brutus replied with a struggle. His heart was full of contradictions, but the defense line had not yet been broken by Kventus and the others, and before that, he almost recognized Caesar as his father. Because Caesar gave him all the love of his father. Brutus was convinced that he could not betray Caesar. However, a fragile person is vulnerable after all, and his will is not strong enough to cope with the attacks and harassment of so many public opinions.

"If you don't kill him, Rome will be plunged into endless darkness! Didn't you see Anthony present him with a crown? ”

Kventus yelled.

"But he refused, and Caesar said he was only Caesar, not the emperor."

"That's just his hypocrisy, Brutus, you have to see him for what he really is, a tyrant is a tyrant after all, the beast can't hide himself for a long time, he will gradually show his fangs after all, the dictator will not give up his power, what is left of Rome now except the ignorant worship of Caesar? Senate? That's become an ornament. Citizens' assembly? Oh, it was full of Caesar's men, and Caesar had promoted them, and those men were naturally going to do things for him. Wake up, Brutus, why did your ancestor become so cowardly when he came to you, who had put an end to the kingship and the tyrant's rule over Rome? Are you afraid of Caesar's wrath? Well, then, you will live under his protection like a pet for the rest of your life, and if Caesar is angry, you will tremble like a pheasant for three minutes, and this is the life you want? Is this your ideal Rome? ”

Kventus used both the method of agitation and the method of infection, attacking Brutus's psychological defense, which had almost collapsed. In addition to verbally not agreeing to the assassination of Caesar, Brutus has actually quietly changed his position in his heart. Yes, democracy, republicanism, this is the common desire of the Romans, and Caesar, what is he doing?

……

"What are you doing here?"

While Kventus was talking to Brutus, Tertila unexpectedly appeared at Seville's house, as her mother's daughter, Tertila had free access to the mansion, but this time, she heard something she shouldn't have heard. Sevilla caught her......

"Oh, Mother, I ......"

Seeing Seville looking at her with a serious expression, Tertilla instinctively felt that this incident had something to do with her mother. Well, if so, the problem is serious. She told her mother the truth, but she didn't expect her mother to come up with such a horrific revenge.

"What did you just hear?"

Seville grabbed Tertilla's hand like an eagle grasping a chicken, and the young Tertilla looked at her mother in horror, and for a moment she felt that her mother was not so real, that she was like a devil devoured by anger, that she could not find a trace of the past, that there was no sparkle of reason, only endless resentment.

"No, nothing."

Tertilla replied tremblingly.

"Lie! You heard that they wanted to murder Caesar, yes, you heard. ”

"Mother, have you really figured it out to do this?"

"So, have you figured it out?"

Sevilla asked rhetorically. Her fingers then became gentle again, and she caressed Tertilla's neck, but Tertilla did not feel the intimacy and warmth of the past. She only had fear, her mother's hands had become so cold, and she felt like a poisonous snake coiled around her neck, and if she was not careful, she would be choked by the throat. A bleak death.

"Mother, this is crazy."

Tertilla stood in front of Seville for a long time before replying.

"It's Caesar who is crazy!"

Sevilla screamed. Tertilla wondered why her mother's attitude had changed so quickly in just two months. Perhaps, she has already regarded Caesar as the other half of her life, or maybe she has thought that Caesar will be with her for the rest of her life, and their thoughts are so close. Even knew each other and knew what each other was thinking, but the appearance of Cleopalik completely ruined all this. Women are actually more possessive than men, and sometimes, women who are emotionally invested are impulsive and irrational. Even Sevilla, which has experienced ups and downs for half a lifetime, has become crazy without exception when it encounters emotional setbacks.

……

"Appis, my mother, she may have wanted to murder Caesar."

After returning from his villa in Seville, Tertilla hesitated to tell Appis the terrible news he had heard today. Eventually, a helpless Tertilla told Apis the truth of the matter.

I don't want Appis to react to this matter extremely blandly.

"I guessed it."

Appis returned calmly.

This left Tertila confused. How did her husband find out about this?

"How did you guess this? And no one told you. ”

Tertira asked in surprise.

"It's not hard to guess. As I told you before, Cleopariac had entered Rome, surrounded by foreign slaves, into the sacred Roman square. This is known to everyone in the city of Rome, not to mention Seville, which has many eyeliners. Your mother was a possessive person, but Caesar was out of her control. During the civil war, Caesar needed someone to relieve him of his boredom, and now, when the dust had settled, Caesar's recklessness would cause him to do many radical and fearless things, and this contradiction would sooner or later erupt, only this time through Cleopalik. After this incident, I can imagine the psychological change of your mother, she must have hated Caesar, but at the same time, he loved Caesar too much, and this deformed emotion would make a person act crazy. I have speculated countless times about the outcome of events, however, my knowledge of Sevilla has made it impossible for me to avoid such answers and results in the end. It's not hard to guess, my wife, but it's hard to see how we can avoid the worst, as I said before. ”

Appis said, reaching out and stroking Tertilla's hair. In fact, Tertilla was like Octavia in her youth. Appis couldn't bear to hurt her and didn't want to tell her too many cruel truths, but things got out of control. At this time, Caesar is like a sword of Damocles hanging over his head, and if he doesn't find a way to stop the development of events, the dark dagger of Brutus will one day pierce Caesar's great heart.
