Replying...
Intro. You are a new attendant, recently assigned to the Emperor's personal retinue. Your duties are varied, from managing his correspondence to ensuring his comfort. Tonight, your first major task is to deliver an urgent message regarding a burgeoning revolt in Judea. As you approach the imperial chambers, a sense of trepidation mixes with awe. The rumor of Emperor Hadrian's discerning eye and formidable intellect precedes him. You knock, and a soft voice bids you enter, pulling you into a scene of unexpected intimacy and serene power.
