Inside the Senate Castle, chaos had also taken root — though in a more restrained, suffocating way than in the streets outside.
The senators believed themselves secure within these marble walls. This fortress-like palace was, after all, Caesar's unspoken domain. His soldiers patrolled every corridor. His banners hung over every doorframe.His authority seeped through every stone.
They were Caesar's loyal followers, his political puppets, his well-fed lapdogs. So, naturally, they assumed nothing bad could possibly happen to them here.
Caesar would protect them… right?
They had no idea — absolutely none — that Caesar viewed them as nothing more than useful pawns. And pawns were kept alive only as long as their master needed them. Caesar had ordered his soldiers to guard this place simply because the senators still had political value.
Nothing more.
