Marcusagrippa truyện

Kingdoms will rise and fall, I've come to take it all. History has always been written by the victors. With more blood on his hands and bodies than he can keep track of, Gaius Julius Caesar Octavianus, known more commonly as Octavian, has just ordered Caesarion killed. After the Battle of Alexandria and the supposed suicide of his rival and brother-in-law Marcus Antonius, Octavian is not that surprised to find Queen Cleopatra deceased from poison. What he didn't expect, however, was the Egyptians bowing to him in respect. With Cleopatra and her son Caesarion dead, Octavian is the only contender left for the Egyptian throne. Having rescued Marcus Antonius from the brink of death, the thirty-three year old usurper faces his weakened rival a changed man. The name Augustus would never be given as a title to Octavian, nor would it be murmured by the Roman Senate. The Egyptians call him Kaisaros and treat him like a God-King. With the Egyptian fleet and army at his back, Octavian builds his kingdom as the first Roman Pharaoh. He plays the part, replacing his toga for animal prints, trading away his laurel wreath for jewelry and kohl. Then he is gifted three strange eggs that feel warm to him, but no one else. Once he gets the eggs to hatch, history will paint him as a more renowned figure than Alexander the Great.

After the Ides of March, Julius Caesar's grandnephew is called back to Rome to witness the will being opened. To the teenager's shock, the will states he is now Caesar's heir in name, money, and loyalty to his army. Marcus Agrippa is loyal to Octavian, the heir to Caesar's name and fortune. But he is loyal to a fault, which soon turns into infatuation for the young Octavian. Marcus Antonius thought he was going to be Caesar's heir, but the realization Octavian is heir instead leaves a bitter taste in his mouth. Hateful at the teenager for stealing his glory, he toys with Octavian, trying to win his favors. Both Antony and Agrippa desire to be on Octavian's good side; ranging from gifts to secret letters given to the handsome faced youth with the curled blonde hair. Alarmed and flattered, Octavian toys with the men back, playing in their wicked game. (Note: In this alternate history, Antony never falls in love with Cleopatra. Both Antony and Agrippa love Octavian, who has to decide between becoming the first Roman Emperor or the first Roman Pharaoh once Cleopatra and Caesarion are dead.)

Ides of March, 44 BCE. The death of Julius Caesar. When Caesar is assissinated his only living child, Lucretia Julia Caesaris, is left alone in the turbulant Rome. That is until her cousin, and new brother, Gaius Octavius arrives and changes the landscape of Rome forever. cross-posted on ao3 and tumblr
