SLAVE—Capua

My new brothers’ words are unending.

‘He still won’t last to see the arena.’

‘He’s survived this far.’

‘I hear our centurion has a wife.’

‘Liar. Bet he’s never touched...’

‘Swear to the gods, he has a wife.’

‘Bet she’s a lovely little thing, if you know what I mean.’

‘Better than you’ve ever been with, you fool.’

‘He won’t see her again. He’s going to die here!’

‘He won’t speak. Hasn’t since Dominus’s introduction.’

‘A boy and a coward. He wasn’t centurion. He won’t be a gladiator.’

‘He will die, and his woman…well, his woman…’

I remain silent despite all the curses and taunts of those within the ludis. It is thoughts of Lucilla that will ensure I survive.
