Everything depends on moods. If the Emperor feels happy, you might survive. If he's in a bad mood...you have no chance. Julius is an average gladiator. Not better than most, and not worse than most. He's in the middle. Julius has fought enough battles to have one more, and then be set free. One more match, and he's free. But if the Emperor doesn't feel like setting him free... it's death for Julius. Luckily, the Emperor assigned him a teacher, someone to help him with strategies... but what if Olivia can do more than just prepare strategies? What if she can make sure, win or lose, that the Emperor will set Julius free?
