"Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown."
- William Shakespeare, Henry IV
Antonius took another sip of the drink elegantly with his eyes closed, while Adrianos is still bowing there staring at his cup on the table, with droplets of sweat dripping down his chins damping his inner clothing again.
It do sound like a simple request, there is no doubt that he, Adrianos is one of the biggest contributor of this battle that accelerated the Ottoman defeat by at least half, and it is because of them that did the Romans manage to fully surround and exterminate the entire Ottoman army that is twice the size as them, and yet the man behind all of this only has one humble request – to let them go home, it does raise questions in Antonius' mind.
Kinda sus bro.
