"Hmm...," paused Marcus, "Let him makes a fool out of himself in next month election."
"What was that you say about cheating," asked Caesar Thanh.
"Well," said Marcus, "We'll threat the people to vote for you."
"I will not have that in my court," said Caesar Thanh.
"It the only sure way that you can beats him," said Marcus.
"I wants to wins this election fair and square," said Caesar Thanh.
"What happens if he try to cheats you," asked Marcus.
"Stop with all of these ridiculous nonsense," commaned Caesar Thanh.
"I'm only stating the facts, Sir," said Marcus.'
"May I cuts in," interruped Icon.
"Sure, go ahead," said Caesar Thanh.
"Why don't you just make him your Assitance Emperor," asked Icon.
"And lets him steps up a step of being Caesar," shouted Caesar Thanh, "I don't thinks so. He will try to beats me if he my assitance."
"What else could you do," asked Icon.
Caesar Thanh was pure mad at this point, he did something a Caesar wouldn't do in a million years. He got up from his luxuriest seat in the hippodrome and marchs to the center of the hippodrome.
Everyone was in total shock while he incited the crowds. The Hispania Legions didn't try to stops him, but the Imperial Supreme Commander did.
"What are you doing Caesar," asked Civis.
"Shut up," shouted Caesar Thanh, "I'm going to makes an announce that the entire empire will bows to be once and for all."
The chariot race stopped as they see Caesar Thanh approached.
When Caesar Thanh reached the center of the Hippodrome, he said something in his most disrepsectful voice.
"The Governor of Capua is not going to be here," said Caesar Thanh.
The entire crowds of officials was not at all suprise with Caesar Thanh's remark.
"He had been denying every requests that we have made," called out one Senator.
"We should have his head for this," called out another Senator.
Caesar Thanh was similing to sees that the Senators take his side.
"He had challenge me in the upcoming election for the title of Caesar," said Caesar Thanh.
Marcus Publicus was amazed that this Caesar have some guts.
"I refuse to gives up the title of Caesar in that election," continued Thanh, "So, I will terminates that events right now."
Every Senators eyes were on their emperor.
"How about the Senator election," asked a Senator.
"I will be terminates that as well," said Caesar Thanh.
Every Governors in the Hippodrome just shook their heads.
"This is unjusticed," called out a Governor.
"You can't breaks the tradition," called out another Governor.
"I can do whatever I wanted to do. I'm Caesar," called out Caesar Thanh.
Marcus Publicus and Icon was in total amazement, while the Senators were jotting down notes with a grin on their faces.
"Caesar Thanh is right," called out Pronconsul Jackson, head of the Senator, "Caesar Thanh is a good emperor, he can't loose his position now."
"He nothing but a foe to the empire," called out a governor.
"Enough," called out Caesar Thanh.
The Governors did something that change history, they grab their fruit they were eating and throw it at Caesar Thanh.
The Imperial Army of Civis and Caius Menginus run to the Center of the Hippodrome and carry Caesar Thanh out of the Hippodrome. All of the Senators follow them as they make a runs to the capital of Rome without saiding good-bye. Icon and her elephants along with Marcus Publicus and Titanicus follow them as well.
All of the Governor agreed that Thanh should go down while the Governor of Capua be Caesar. They started a riot and burn down the Hippodrome in Hispania.
The Hispania Legion refuse to join with the Imperial Army, instead they chased them.
