Throw him in Irons, off with his head or set him free, these are the choices in front of me. The question is how to deal with the man caught trying to take the life of one of my most prominent governors. Under questioning he confessed that he had been sent by the current ruler of Rome, an empire whose notoriety for underhanded meddling in the affairs of other nations is second only to the fear instilled by the size and vicious efficiency of their fighting units. This unfortunately means that this time I must spare his life. With ten thousand troops putting down the barbarian uprising in the west, and a further thirty thousand men and horse lined up against the forces of Egypt in the east, there is simply nothing left to pit against the threat from Rome to the North.
