What I do now is risky. . . probably more than anything else I've done in my life. I've gotten myself into the position of consort to the caesar of Rome. I've been with him a little over a week now, and I think I'm starting to get into his "inner circle". He still doesn't trust me with everything, but maybe that's just a question of time?

I just worry time may not be a commodity I have a lot of to spare. I've heard there are people looking for him, in hopes to assassinate him. I don't know much about them, myself (though I'm hoping I can ask the right questions of others in the camp to find out), but just from what I hear, they're the kind of people that if they want you dead, you usually end up that way. Even the people who call themselves gods are vulnerable, so I know a leader of Rome will be. The fact he seems unconcerned in spite of that leads me to believe he has something planned that he just hasn't told me. Whatever it is, it had better be good; I haven't put so much into this just to lose him already!
