Sarus sat in a room alone with Marcellus. He had rushed back to the capital of the Western Roman Empire after receiving a summons from the Imperator himself.

I won't lie to you, I have an opportunity to eliminate one of my rivals, and improve relations with the eastern roman empire. However, should this attempt to fail, I can't have it traced back to me. You understand, don't you?"
