The people do not respect him . If they do not respect him how can they love him. Father once said life was a frightful dream Perhaps he was right after all. He rejected me. If he had loved me perhaps everything would be different.
This was once so. Claudius wanted vengeance on those who had wronged him in life as I would have done. All the senate does is talk talk talk I hate it such incessant chatter and scheming oh yes
"Tell me what you've been doing busy little bee or I shall strike down those dearest to you. You shall watch as I bathe in their blood." And the emperor was heartbroken. The little bee had wounded him more deeply than anyone else could ever have done.
They whispered in dark corners and went out late at night and conspired and conspired but the emperor Claudius knew they were up to something. He knew they were busy little bees. And one night he sat down with one of them and he looked at her and he said,
Sometimes he thinks perhaps he is like the Emperor Claudius in some ways,Emperor Claudius who was betrayed by those closest to him, by his own blood.
He is the chosen one the saviour of Rome not anyone else certainly not the senate as they drip poison most probably about him into the ears of those foolish enough to listen to such nonsense . They have not shown one ounce of respect and loyalty. He shall rule with his love Freya
His Father treated the Senate like some kind of paradise and the senators like some kind of Gods. He can not do such a thing. He trusts in his beloved Rome his empire his people. He will do whatever it takes to restore the greatness of Rome.
Alas I shall sleep now I shall return later @PreciousMagic45 I love you my darling I shall be on in the afternoon after 2pm.
Good Morning Darling @PreciousMagic45 I do hope you are well. I apologize for my absence.

Perhaps that is what matters most . I will do what I have to do for my family and for Rome. This shall always be so."
The People of Rome foolishly listen to The Senate to the rambling of a few foolish old men. What do they really know of my life and how I have suffered rejection? Noone knows me deep inside except for Lucilla. She has always been there for me and understood me no matter what.
Somehow now such a thing is of lesser importance than it once was. The Senate know exactly who I am yet they chose to disrespect me. They scheme and flatter yet do not show me the loyalty I deserve.
Do you really believe that I shall restore the Glory of Rome ? I sometimes fear perhaps some things in life feel like distant memories in the past. I wonder if everyone feels that way or if it was perhaps father's fault. Oh how I once wished to make him proud.
"He nibbles on some olives as he stands on the balcony in his palace looking out over his beloved Rome his empire. He sips wine from his goblet. Father once said It's a frightful dream life is . Do you suppose that is true Lucillla?
