Chapter 32

The Ides of March

44BCE

Julius Caesar the most powerful man in the Roman Republic was Dead lying in a pool of his own blood on the Floor of the Senate House 2 years after his Blunder in Sparta and a year after his return from Campaign in Africa Consul Mark Antony had been forced to flee for his life as the Conspirators tried to kill two bird with one Blade.

After a few hours of hiding in Caesars Villa he realised the Conspirators had no idea what they were doing they had no plans whatsoever they just assumed things would go back to normal how wrong they were.

Rome was in pure chaos their Beloved Leader was dead, murdered by the men he offered mercy to after the Civil-War hell the Conspirators or Liberators as they called themselves bared themselves inside the Home of Brutus in fear of the people, they had freed from Tyranny.

By the end of the Month things had started to calm down Antony had forged a peace deal with the Conspirators they would not declare Caesar's death a Tyrannicide so they could keep their lovely Titles and posts the Evil Tyrant had given them, what a bunch of Hypocrites.

However at Caesar's Funeral Antony gave one hell of a speech holding Caesar's bloody toga before tossing it into the crowd causing the whole thing to go up like a Tar Barrel he secured his position as Consul and sent the two main conspirators Brutus and Cassius to be sent as the Grain monitors for New Judea as well as the trade link to Spartan province of Egypt.

Yes, it looked like Antony would be the new Leading man in Rome and as Caesar had no male issue so the chances of inheritance from his old Friend was great.

Caesar's Villa

2 weeks after the Funeral he was sitting next to various other Senators and Caesars widow Calpurnia as the seal on the will was broken by the priest.

I Gaius Julius Caesar

Son of Venus

Imperator of the Germanic Legions

Consul of Rome

Do declare this my final will and testament to the Citizens of the City of Rome I leave 3 Denarius apiece to my dear wife Calpurnia I leave my Villa in Sicilia and 3 million Aurei and the rest of my Estates lands gold silver and other monies I leave to Gaius Octavius who from this day forth is to be considered my true son and soul heir.

Antony sat in shock and unbridled rage he had met this boy once when Caesar introduced them some farm boy that was Caesars Great Nephew, he was a sickly skinny child and now he was Caesar's heir.

Said boy was in a Legion Training Camp in Gaul when word Reached him, he was Caesars heir he would have to move quickly no doubt there were those in the Senate who would steal his rightful inheritance.

Royal Palace

Kassandria Egypt

Kassandra was in a very good mood word had reached her of Caesars Death and now that his loyal lapdog Mark Antony was not his Heir but some Farm boy who while brilliant with his mind his physical prowess left much to be desired looking at her equally happy wife she lifted a glass to the court.

"To the downfall of the Roman Republic,". Very few times in her long life did Kassandra allow such lavish luxuries in her Court despite her empire being very wealthy she rarely spent much on herself she saw no need being an immortal it seemed wasteful to her and her wife and daughters.

Only on special occasions did she allow this level of indulgence and the Roman Republic losing its Leader and the inevitable Civil-Wars it would start was a very good reason as the Royal Family watched their Egyptian and Greek nobles enjoy the Lavish food and drink.

(Modern timeline)

Tensions at Hogwarts were getting worse by the day as those who followed the Cult of Kassandra manly Purebloods and half-bloods while Muggleborns or muggle-raised students kept to their own faith believing the Spartans to be a barbaric Empire from a Bygone era that still followed Pagan gods.

This of course started random fights students being ambushed by the other faction and being seriously injured it got so bad Albus had no choice but to request an Auror force be posted at the school to keep order in the school.

It ended with the Ministry suggesting that unused classrooms in the castle be converted into places that these factions could go an hang out together or pray if they wanted within a day 2 classroom's on opposite sides of the castle had been converted for the followers of the Cult they had there rich Parents to help them spruce it up making it a place of luxury and order.

The same could not be said for the Progressives as they now called themselves while some of the students came from well of family's they weren't as wealthy as those who followed the cult but it was still suitable.

Albus walked down the hallways of Hogwarts in sadness the castle was very quiet as the majority of the students were in their faction areas or in the Great hall which had been declared a neutral zone but very few students were in their hell even when they were the hall was quiet as students refused to speak to each other unless they were in the same faction.

Lily sat in her office as she looked at the book on the Immortal Queen it made her wonder what it was like to live in the Empire Afterall her Daughter lived within its territory she sat wondering what faith her Little girl followed it never occurred to her that Kassandra shared the same name as the Immortal queen.

As she went to sleep that night she dreamed of meeting her daughter that she was happy and had a good life studying magic lily could never dream off when she woke the next morning she had never slept better and hoped that she would soon get to see her daughter when in 4 years she would be able to Visit the Empire.
