── "𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐝𝐢𝐝𝐧'𝐭 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐦𝐞 𝐚𝐬 𝐚 𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧." "𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭'𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐈'𝐦 𝐧𝐨𝐭." Thousands of men have died inside the colosseum, fighting and begging for their lives. Yet still shown no mercy. When Lucius Verus is made fight for himself against creatures triple his size, he peaks the interest of the empress, leading to the fall of the Roman empire and throne. After being told many stories with different endings about Maximus Meridius, she knew she would forever hate the battles that took place just for her. Maximus was said to be despised, an enemy of the throne. Which caused a deep resentment towards him, but she never knew just how much his story would relate to her. Rome would've tore them apart if they didn't bring Rome to its end first. ©veluques, 2024 Gladiator II Lucius Verus x Female Oc
