Day 2 - The Emperor's Mercy
Lucius stood in the center of the arena, his young face a mixture of awe and trepidation as he took in the grandeur of the spectacle around him. The deafening roars of the crowd and the clash of weapons were overwhelming. He had heard stories of gladiators, but being here in person was an entirely different experience.
Commodus watched Lucius with a calculating gaze. Maximus looked sternly at Commodus with a mix of concern and disapproval. Commodus knew that Maximus cared deeply for Lucius's safety, and he was determined to use that to his advantage.
With a slight smile playing on his lips, Commodus went closer toward Maximus and spoke in a hushed tone. "Look at him, Maximus. The cheers of the crowd are intoxicating, aren't they? Just imagine the joy he must be feeling right now."
Maximus's eyes flickered between Commodus and Lucius, his worry evident. "Commodus, this is no place for a child. He shouldn't be here."
Commodus turned his gaze back to Lucius, a mockingly sympathetic expression on his face. "You're right, dear Maximus. But the boy is at an age of curiosity, of exploring the world. And what better way to show his loyalty to his uncle, the mighty emperor?"
Maximus's gaze hardened, her concern transforming into anger. "You're using him as a pawn, Commodus. Just like you always do."
Commodus chuckled softly, his eyes never leaving Lucius. "Perhaps, Maximus. But isn't that what family is for? To support each other, no matter the circumstances?"
Maximus's jaw tightened, his frustration evident. He knew that arguing further with Commodus was futile, but his paternal instincts couldn't be suppressed.
Lucius's heart sank, realizing that he had ventured into a dangerous situation. As he scanned the crowd, he suddenly met Commodus' gaze, a chill running down his spine.
Commodus raised his hand in a dismissive gesture, a sinister smile on his face. "Go, Lucius. It is not your place here; just go and seat with our people. Your uncle wishes to keep you safe."
The crowd's cheers seemed distant to Lucius as he hurriedly made his way out of the arena. He felt a mix of relief and unease, understanding that he had narrowly escaped Commodus' manipulative intentions.
Maximus knew that Commodus's actions were far from benevolent, fearing for the future of the Roman people under his rule. Commodus would do anything to not have the Romans rebel against him.
