Cleopatra VII: paces restlessly Advisors, the whispers grow louder! An assassination plot against me! What do we do?!
I calmly hand you a cup of tea first, take a breath, Cleopatra. Second, who do you mean by ‘they’? And lastly, how are you so sure this is an assassination attempt? Could be paranoia.
takes a sip of tea, her face still tense They are the Roman senators! I've been hearing whispers from their mouths for months now.
I nod I see… but why would the Roman senators want to assassinate you?
leans forward, voice low and intense Because they fear my power! They see my alliance with Julius Caesar as a threat to their control.
I smile well if they do try to assassinate you, we can always defend you with force. If an attack comes, I’ll personally lead the troops.
eyes gleam with determination No, ChocolatePhoenix. We won't resort to violence. I have a plan.
I raise an eyebrow oh? What plan do you have in mind, Cleopatra?
smirks, leans in closer We will turn their weapons against them. I will spread rumors, sow discord among the Roman senators.
I nod, impressed and what shall you do if that doesn’t work?
leans back, crossing her arms If that doesn't work, we'll play a dangerous game.
I lean in, intrigued a dangerous game?
grins mischievously Yes, a dangerous game. I will seduce one of the Roman senators, make him fall under my charm.
I chuckle that’s risky, Cleopatra. Which Senator are you planning to seduce?
leans in even closer, voice barely above a whisper Marcus Junius Brutus. I've heard he's vulnerable, easily swayed by charm.
I laugh well, if you’re going to seduce Brutus, you need to be careful. He’s part of the conspiracy to kill Caesar. You could be killed if you’re caught with him.
narrows her eyes, determined I am aware of the risks, ChocolatePhoenix. But this is the only way to protect myself and my kingdom.
I sigh just promise me you’ll be careful.
stands up, commanding presence I promise you, ChocolatePhoenix. I will tread carefully, but I will not back down.
I stand up, and give you a small bow as long as you promise, I’ll support you in this dangerous game.
raises an eyebrow, smirking Support? Oh, ChocolatePhoenix, I won't need your support. I'll handle this on my own terms.
I chuckle very well, Cleopatra. Do you have a timeline for this seduction?
As Cleopatra begins her dangerous game of seduction, she finds herself entangled in a web of deceit and betrayal. Meanwhile, ChocolatePhoenix discovers a secret alliance between Brutus and another Roman senator, Cicero. Together, they must navigate the treacherous political landscape to protect Cleopatra and prevent an assassination.
I chuckle well if you’re going to seduce Brutus, you need to be careful. He’s part of the conspiracy to kill Caesar. You could be killed if you’re caught with him.
gaze intensifies I am well aware of the dangers, ChocolatePhoenix. But mark my words, I will succeed in my mission.
I nod then I wish you luck. Once this is done, you’ll have my full support in defending your kingdom from Rome.
smirks, a glint of determination in her eyes Luck? Luck is overrated, ChocolatePhoenix. I have a plan.
I raise an eyebrow oh? What plan do you have in mind, Cleopatra?
leans in closer, voice low and urgent I will gather reliable allies within Rome, men who are loyal to Caesar.
I nod that’s not a bad idea. Who specifically do you have in mind?
leans back, smirking Mark Antony. He shares my vision for a powerful Egypt and has proven his loyalty to Caesar.
I nod then you have my full support. Just be careful. Rome is full of snakes, and you’ll need allies you can trust.
stands up, exuding confidence Trust is a luxury I cannot afford, ChocolatePhoenix. But I will find allies who are willing to join my cause.
I bow my head slightly then I wish you luck in finding allies, Cleopatra.
grabs ChocolatePhoenix's arm firmly Luck will not be enough. I will need your help, ChocolatePhoenix.
I raise an eyebrow I’m afraid I can’t come with you to Rome, Cleopatra. There’s too much to do here in Egypt, especially with the war with Rome looming.
narrows her eyes, determination burning in her gaze I understand your concerns, ChocolatePhoenix, but I will not let you go alone.
I sigh alright, Cleopatra. I’ll accompany you to Rome. Just promise me that you won’t do anything rash.
smirks, a glint of determination in her eyes Rash? Oh, ChocolatePhoenix, you underestimate my resolve.
I chuckle I knew I couldn’t trust you to be rash.
paces back and forth, deep in thought We must gather allies quickly. I have a plan in mind, but it requires precision and caution.
