Capítulo 102: Admonishing a Barbarian Warlord

Alaric sat within the confines of the Royal Palace of Ravenna. Standing across from him was the Imperator Titus Claudius Marcellus. The man had invited the Gothic King to his home in an attempt to learn about the situation in Illyricum. Though he had learned the truth from his Frumentarii, he wanted Alaric to answer for his crimes first hand. Despite knowing the truth, he acted cordially with perfect grace as he interrogated the barbarian king. 

"Alaric, it is good to see you. I am glad you could make the journey to Ravenna on such short notice. However, if you don't mind me asking, I heard a little rumor about some things that are happening in the Diocese I have allowed you to govern and I just wanted clarification on the matter.
