Bab 167: Chaos in Ctesiphon

After escaping from her brother's villa, Mitra stalked through the streets of Ctesiphon in search of the safe house which the Frumentarii had established in the Sassanid capital. The sounds of conflict emerged from Narseh's palace. With all her heart, the Persian princess hoped her brother would survive. If not, she would have some explaining to do to her Roman masters.

While Mitra stealthily made her way through the streets of the city, Narseh was fighting against the guards of his cunning older brother. He honestly had not expected to be attacked in his own home, but when it came to matters revolving their little sister, Bahram was quick to lose reason.
