Chapter 3
Arrest the killer...

Hope Daniels: Liminius, you are under arrest for the murder of chariot racer Scorpius.

Liminius: Oh please, he was Flavia's favourite slave. I have respect for my Flavia, I would NEVER want him dead.

Hope: You stole a laurel wreath from Junia Tertia's room and told Scorpius to meet you in front of Circus Maximus.

Liminius (sweating): Oh..that was...urhmm

Liminius (nervous): That was just to thank him for...eh...

Hope: It's useless to lie. When Scorpius arrived, you grabbed his head and you slashed his throat with Junia's laurel wreath.

Liminius: How dare you accuse me ? Caesar will hear about this.

Hope: After killing him, you returned the laurel wreath back in Junia's room, like nothing happend.

Liminius: How do..how do you know everything ? How is this possible ?

Hope: So you admit, you killed him ?

Liminius (facepalm): By Jupiter...I knew that you would eventualy find out.

Liminius: Yes, I did killed him. But I did it for Junia Tertia.

Hope: Junia wanted Scorpius dead ? But I thought she loved him...

Liminius: That IS the problem. He had to be punished. Junia was supposed to be with me !

Liminius: She rejected me over 6 times. Who would reject somebody like me ? I'm smart, working for politician, and I'm good friends with our Caesar.

Liminius (angry): Scorpius was just a slave. What did she saw in him ? That black fool was just useful to Flavia for her interests.

Hope (disgusted): So you killed him ?

Liminius: Of course I did. I had to fix this terrible unjustice !

Hope (angry): That's enough. We are bringing you to Caesar immediately !

In front of Caesar.

Julius Caesar: Liminius ? I can't believe this !

Liminius: I did it for me and Junia ! She was planning to elope with a slave, I had to stop that.

Caesar (mad): That is not a reason to kill one of my favourite slaves.

Flavia Pulchra: KILL HIM WITH FIRE, THROW HIM TO THE LIONS THIS INSTANT.

Liminius (crying): N-no please, Scorpius was just a black slave, nobody liked-d him anyways.

Caesar: I should punish you throwing you to the lions in circus maximus, but since you are one of important political figures, you will just take Scorpius's place as a slave and chariot racer.

Liminius (shocked): Me ? As a slave ? That is worse than being dead. Please, have merc-

Caesar: Take him away Centurions. You've helped Rome a lot.

Hope: Sure, we will.
