In the city of Constantinople, the eastern roman regent, Yazdegerd I, stared at the scene of the crime with utter fury on his face. He could hardly believe that the greatest general that eastern Rome had at its disposal was taken out in his own home. Words from the man's bodyguards stated that he bought a slave earlier in the day, and brought her back to his place to test her out. However, she killed him silently, and absconded from the scene without the bodyguards being the slightest bit aware.
In response to this, Yazdegerd had the men who were supposed to guard Frugi beheaded. There was no tolerance for dereliction of duty in the eyes of the Sassanid King, and regent of the Eastern Roman Empire. He could only sigh as he gazed upon the stiff corpse of the magister militum before giving out the orders to bury it.
"Bury him with full honors and find out who is responsible for this attack!'
During my research, I came across the fact that I initially accidentally blended Aelia Eudoxia and Aelia Pulcheria's characters in this novel. Aelia Eudoxia was the mother of Theodosius II, but died when he was still an infant. She would not be alive at this time to be his regent.
As for Aelia Pulcheria, she was Theodosius II's older sister, who became his regent in 414. Thus, I edited all chapters regarding Aelia Eudoxia and replaced them with the proper regent for this time period, Yazdegerd I.
