Chapter XXI: One Life for a Kingdom

***

Pompey’s escorts were ordered to return to the encampments east of the Iron Gates, with a message for the emperor. Distraught, but with little choice, the small contingent rode with all haste back to the encampment. They arrived three days later. Legate Maximus met the news with grim stoicism. He sent his own despatch to Emperor Trajan, stating his thoughts on the matter.

While I hope the Dacians will maintain the traditional protections for safeguarding diplomats, I should not be surprised if Pompey is kept against his will. Pompey Longinus is foremost a servant to the People of Rome. Any attempts by Decebalus to use the general as a hostage will come to naught. His honour will not allow him to be used duplicitously. Nor will he accept any attempts at negotiating peace in exchange for his safety.
