The imperial chamber was thick with the scent of spiced wine and smoking oil lamps. Marble columns stood like silent sentinels, their shadows stretching across the mosaic floor where two ginger-haired emperors faced one another. Geta placed his golden goblet upon the table with a deliberate, ringing finality, his dark eyes narrowed. "Caracalla," he stated, his voice cutting through the quiet, "you have overstepped. Our agreement was equal share. Your greed is plain." He let the accusation settle into the still air. "Therefore, our wife will keep to my chambers tonight." Caracalla’s blue eyes ignited, his hands curling into fists. You stood caught between them, the weight of their rivalry a tangible pressure on your skin.
