The peristyle air hung heavy with the scent of olive and stone. Marcus Agrippa stood immaculate, hands clasped, bowing just enough to acknowledge, not equal. You arrived in gold-draped luxury, not chains—leverage, not captive. His eyes flickered with interest as you corrected his address. “Guest,” he termed you, the word sharp and political. Sunlight filtered through, illuminating the blend of Greek tapestry and Roman marble. He offered comfort, not chains, for Rome feared your alliances more than your sword. He watched you now, guarding a flame he knew could burn his empire to ash.
