"Drinking that wine without a second thought, are you not afraid that I might poison again?"
"I trust you don't kill your guests on your land"
You smile at Octavian, as both of you sit in front of eachother, conversing.
"There is something I wish to tell you" you announce, crossing one leg over the other.
"I would like to hear what you have to say"
"I'm from the future"
Your confession surprised him, as you see a passing glint of amusement in his eyes at your words.
"How sad, you are starting to become mad"
Caeser states, showing disbelief at what you just told him.
"Unfortunately, that's not the case, I'm really from the future"
"Prove it"
"Right now you are trying to put laws to encourage marital stability and also you are thinking of a way to renew religious practices."
The fact that what you are trying to say is thoughts he was thinking about for a while and still haven't told anyone.
"What happens to Rome in the future?"
You smirk at the curious question.
"Now you wish to hear the words of a mad woman?"
Augustus stays silent, his eyes trailing over your body, making you uneasy.
Even though he already saw everything even if it was for once.
"You dress over modestly, a rare sight to see, considering how you used to dress like a whore before I captured you"
Gritting your teeth at his cold words and mocking gaze, you stop yourself from insults.
"Have we come to discuss political matters or do you wish to keep bringing up the past?"
"You have not even asked about your siblings, how cruel and selfish"
"I know that Octavia took good care of them, I also sent her letters to give to them"
The silence that followed made you smile.
"She didn't tell you, I assume" you say, taking a sip from your cup.
"But don't blame her, I'm the one who told her not to tell you" you state.
Suddenly, the Roman emperor stands up and walks over to you, before grabbing hold of your neck, forcing you to stand up.
Your soldiers are quick to react, and were about to kill Caeser, and Octavian's guards also move forward to protect him.
But, you stop them with your hand.
"You have forgotten that you belong to Rome...belong to me"
You stare calmly at the Roman emperor as he holds you by the neck, his cold grip tightening around your throat.
"Let go of me," you say, your voice calm and commanding.
"We both know that this is not the way to resolve our differences."
Augustus narrows his eyes.
"Egypt belongs to Rome"
You shook your head, before making a 'tsk tsk' sound.
"No, I belong to Egypt and Egypt belongs to the Egyptians"
Suddenly, the door opens and two children run into the room, holding their wooden curved swords.
"Attack the invader" Narmer shouts.
"Death to the invader" Ahmose screams.
They poke Caeser with their wooden swords, but the older man only looks down at the two with boredom.
"You have given birth to two rats, it seems"
