which of the one whose crucifix is

further ahead than the rest

it is appropriate that the leader goes

ahead

seniors always lead the way this is the

fate they deserve

the emperor must rid the whole of rome

of those rodents

in my opinion being burned to death is a

more appropriate sentence

no that is not the case the torture that

they

suffer on the crucifix is definitely

lengthier no

these are your believers god

when will you rescue them

the earth was not worthy of embracing

you

the heavens have surrounded you

what a pity you stand so tall

i swear to our lord christ that the

emperor will soon

face a punishment that is much more

severe

death to the emperor whose coming is so

ominous

[Music]

dear god how long will you allow our

friends to be subjected to so much

tyranny

and isolation

what good did all of the donya's

suffering and torture do

they are unaware of the might of the

roman empire upon seeing them their

fellow believers will lose their courage

to rebound crows and vultures will enjoy

a great meal in the days to come

leave them there you don't want to ruin

their feast

yes your highness i will make certain

your order is carried out to the full

i give you my word your highness i have

no doubt

let's go

this is not bad dear clittian i'm sure

being here is not too much of a hardship

it's all thanks to you your highness you

seem to be very close to him

yes that is true during the trojan era

he was one of the senior commanders of

my army

and he once rescued my life

hmm i see so your desire to travel to

philadelphia

was not without good reason

he is only being kind to his humble

servant how can a worthless servant like

me

save his master's life you sure have

learned how to

flatter eloquently here i again you're

being very kind

how can i be eloquent in the presence of

such greatness

you're quite skilled and flattery

i think the emperor and my lady must be

tired after a

long journey your resting area

is right this way the accommodation here

in syria

should never match those in rome but i

hope that philadelphia's picturesque

hunting grounds

should impress your highness tomorrow it

seems you haven't been to rome in years

what kind of picture do you have in your

mind we have been more concerned with

expanding our reign than our own

luxuries

in addition my court differs greatly

from the trojan court

please your highness show our guests to

their rooms

i hope you will be comfortable here

um this is not bad

please your highness

i don't know why i feel so exasperated

it was a very difficult day

look at these unfortunate people

oh

entertainment your highness

opportunity to be entertained

desecrated the gods of rome the gods

defiled the sculptures of the gods

the audacity to

do this tell the gods to defend

their reign what is the meaning of this

go tell them yes what is this

go yes yes

all right your highness

what gods

sir there are courageous monotheists

in this city that we are unaware of

gogolus yes

it is hard to believe your highness

tools an

unidentified group attacked the temple

in the middle of the night

and destroyed all the gods sculptures

no one knows who it might have been

he is right to go mad oh

mighty jupiter

oh oh jupiter the great

from who's rough all other gods quest

doomed if the emperor finds out about

this keep quiet look how they have

destroyed your sculpture and those of

other gods

will you not destroy them in the fire of

your

wrath what's going on here oh jupiter

jupiter the mighty your highness great

joy something awful has happened

we have received that the sculptures of

the gods

within some of the temples have been

destroyed

[Music]

you

[Music]

keep this news to yourself for now

the emperor must not learn of insecurity

in philadelphia

look into the matter without making a

scene

[Music]

yes

[Music]

our savior we

worship thee

so

i've heard that the emperor targets his

prey

from very far away

hunting is not difficult but you must be

careful

not to become the prey some people

aren't while others are hunted

i believe you should be more watchful of

what is going on around you

dear cleture otherwise

instead of catching prey you will become

the prey as the emperor heard something

i just wanted to advise you to pay heed

to the members of the royal port and

those close to you

our biggest problem in rome is

controlling the spread of this

new religion if the emperor doubts

someone

what he must do is point them out he

will be taken care of i will tell you

again

it was just a warning you know

it is disaster enough for one person

only one government member or the royal

court to speak of the prophet of

nazareth

you know the monotheists

does this mean that he knows about

maximilian and lady helen

with our plan and with god's help he

will soon forget absolutely

everything he knows

[Music]

so

[Music]

excellent emperor that was wonderful

[Music]

so

hmm

your majesty another prey

hey hey

do not leave the emperor alone

[Music]

who are you

[Music]

who could have done this i do not know

what is going on here your highness he

is the guard of the hunting ground

someone has shot him said what are you

waiting for maybe someone was intending

to shoot the emperor

go seek the assailant yes sir

poor soldier your life has been

sacrificed for the emperor

[Music]

you
