"Brutus, you have called you here today because I want to discuss something with you. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

"What's the matter? Caesar? It's up to you to decide what you want, and there's no need to discuss it with anyone. ”

In Caesar's mansion shrouded in the quiet night sky, Brutus's straightforward answer already revealed the change in his stance towards Caesar during this time, and Caesar could even see dissatisfaction and indignation in his melancholy eyes. Obviously, the ideological work done to him by the people of Seville had seeped into his blood, and if left unchecked, Brutus's dagger would be stabbed into Caesar's neck from behind, like the graffiti that circulated in the streets. This is the last thing Caesar wants to see.

"No, no, this matter must be discussed with you, for I intend to keep you with me and promote you to the next Roman Attorney, so that you can stay with me at all times, and you will be more deeply and thoroughly involved in all that I do, and perhaps you will know me better, and that I am not the tyrant that the world says it is."

Caesar's sudden plea for promotion made Brutus uneasy, and even somewhat shaken his former beliefs. Could it be that my mother was really wrong? Caesar was not afraid of betrayal and assassination. Otherwise, while rumors circulated on the streets that he would assassinate Caesar, Caesar kept himself by his side and was closer to him. This is not the work of a tyrant, yes, tyrants are afraid of death, afraid of being assassinated, but Caesar clearly showed great heart and fearlessness. Maybe......

Brutus's mind was in turmoil.

"But Caesar, I'm probably not ready...... I mean, maybe I'm not good enough for this position. ”

Brutus replied in hesitation.

"It doesn't matter, kid, it's important that I want you to get through the experience of working with me and understand what I'm doing. When you see the happy smiles of the once poor and tormented civilians who have regained their jobs, and when you see the new Roman towns standing in all corners of the Mediterranean with a new look, you will be proud and proud of what we have done. That's why I want you to take on this position. If you are worried that you are not equipped for such a position, then I will send my personal assistant to help you with the daily chores. In fact, it is not necessary to know which of the officials in Rome has risen to office on his own merits? Yes, this is also part of the reform I need, so the powerful nobles will hate me because I have deprived them of the privilege of ruling Rome. ”

Caesar said seriously in the night, and at this moment, Brutus's psychological defense was almost shaken again. He even believed again in the good future that Caesar had spoken. Yes, he actually admired Caesar for successfully reforming under such tremendous pressure.

"Caesar, then give me some time, I can't accept such an invitation right now, although, this is a position that many people dream of."

Brutus was about to change his name to Caesar "Father", but in the end, he held back. Caesar could see his trembling fingers, revealing Brutus' nervous and anxious mood.

……

The day after Brutus' conversation with Caesar, Caesar celebrated the Queen of Egypt in the Temple of Venus in Timiratos Square. This seemed to Appis to be an act of death, but he had no fear of Caesar, and this was Caesar...... Yes, his character is so. has the wisdom of a genius, but also has the innocence of a child.

"Look at his proud and conceited face, he will pay for his arrogance."

"Queen? Oh, but a foreign slut whose skirt bewitches our 'great' Caesar. ”

On the day of the celebration ceremony, many nobles in the audience began to talk. And Kventus even boldly participated, wearing a thick cloak that no one would recognize him. Brutus, on the other hand, heard again the gossip that made him waver.

"Shameless, the darkest and most humiliating day of the republic."

Seville stood in the middle of the square, looking at the resplendent statue of the Egyptian queen, foaming at the mouth with disdain. Or that Seville could tolerate Caesar having another lover, but could not tolerate an exotic slut snatching her lover. The confinement of the times made the Romans despise foreigners so much. In their view, the inhabitants of all regions were barbarians, except for the Greek people. This is not only the case in Seville, but almost all of Rome.

"Ironically, however, you still have to accept him. The situation now is that all the people of Rome must unconditionally accept all the absurd and ridiculous ideas of the man on the stage. What are his ideals? Destroy what little glory remains of the Roman Republic? Hehe, I think I should be ready to resign from the Senate, go back to my country house, and live this life in peace. ”

Marcelous mocked Caesar, intentionally or unconsciously, and thorny with his words mocking Seville, Caesar's ever closest lover.

I tried to persuade him, but he still wouldn't listen. Alas, the people of this era could not understand his so-called advanced ideas, and people lived under traditional education for hundreds of years, and this kind of thinking penetrated into the blood and could not be pulled out for a while. Caesar needed time, yes, he needed time too much to slowly change people's minds, to change this society. Unfortunately, he still can't wait. ”

Appis stood in the crowd and read worriedly. Tertila stood beside him, equally sad. Although she didn't like Caesar, she didn't want her mother to be attacked by civilians for her involvement in the assassination of Caesar. Moreover, Tertila also knew that if Caesar did die, Rome would be in chaos. Emotionally, she was conflicted. On one side is a frenzied mother, and on the other side is her beloved husband. Although there were many disagreements in the past, Tertila sided with Apis when it came to Caesar.
