Imperium: Augustus2003

[after telling Scipio about Tiberius raping Julia]

Iullus:
She blames her father, even said she wants him dead... But I don't believe her, she'd never hurt him.

Scipio:
She doesn't have to.

Iullus:
I love her!

Scipio:
Stop telling me that!

Iullus:
It's true!

Scipio:
Really?

Iullus:
Yes!

Scipio:
Then if you truly love her, you'll do it. Augustus will not yield.

Iullus:
But surely...

Scipio:
Your noblity won't protect you, you're father made that mistake. There is only one way - he must die.

Iullus:
I would lose her, she would never forgive me...

Scipio:
You'd be saving her. Do you really think Livia is ever going to let Julia's children rule over the empire when Augustus dies? The children will be killed too, you know it's evitable. And when she realizes that, she will thank you.

Iullus:
We failed once.

Scipio:
We were stupid, out in the open with the mob, the guards and Julia to stop us... Will she let you into her house?

Iullus:
[nods] Tonight.

Scipio:
Then the gods have handed us the sword.
