Antonius returned to his seat. Araceli was lively and happier than he had ever seen her. He knew it was because of Androcles, and he was consumed with jealousy. Antonius saw a movement out of the corner of his eye. He turned to look and saw his guard had returned. The guard nodded at him. Antonius gave him a slight nod and turned back to watch the next match.

“I find what you do so fascinating. Can I come by and watch them train?” Araceli asked Tiberius.

“It would be an honor to have a cousin of the emperor visit our humble ludus,” Tiberius said politely.

“Absolutely not,” said Antonius angrily. Everyone in the box turned to look at him. He could tell they thought he was unreasonable. “The baby,” he added.

“She would be well looked after,” interjected Tiberius.

Araceli knew she would have to work on Antonius to gain his trust so she could sneak off and try to talk to Androcles at the ludus. She had no idea that Antonius knew which guard she had been intimate with. She didn’t know he had sent a spy.

“Maybe one day we will both come see your ludus,” Antonius said, trying not to offend Tiberius and make himself look bad in front of the magistrate.

Antonius watched the next few games without much attention. He was anxious for Androcles to come back out. His guard had slipped him a powerful sedative that they sometimes used to rig the fights. This would hopefully be the end of Androcles.
