It was 6:30 pm when the plane landed in the courtyard, it was a long trip from Madrid to Augustopolis, Emperor Titus IV was talking to some senators and from the looks of it the subject was not at all pleasant.
"Emperor Titus IV, a terrorist was arrested in Barcelona and he was part of the same terrorist network that tried to kill Your Majesty, the Spanish federal police discovered more than 30 spread across the regions of Spain, Europe is on fire! We must be more vigilant and reinforce policing when Your Majesty goes to Europe, the Old World is crumbling and the first signs are being given."
The person who said this was a bald senator who, from what I remember of this body, is Senator Omero Claudius Galba, senator of the province of Nova Olissipo, he is one of the best senators and a man with a impeccable character, he certainly does not fit in with most of the Roman senators of the Classical Era.
"Your Majesty, we cannot have only 20 members of the Imperial Guard, we must increase the number of members of the Imperial Guard to 100, there is enough budget to pay the Imperial Guard."
The person who said this, according to the memory of this body, is Senator Antonius Quintus Paulus, who is speaking to my grandfather. He, according to the memory I have of this body, was responsible for the creation of super-prisons, in the Tropical Roman Empire, the senator who practically created CECOT before Bukele became president of El Salvador, the Lex Memento Mori was granted in 2007 and since then the crimes that previously reached the level of Mexico, were now at the level of Switzerland, human rights movements denounced that the law violated the UN Charter of Human Rights, but that was all it was, He is a senator who practically threw away theories of penal abolitionism and showed the whole world that stricter penalties can indeed prevent crimes and reduce crime, he is the modern Pompey, but apparently without many pretensions and with an unshakable sense of loyalty to the Tropical Roman Empire.
The plane door was opened and a guard came out and there were several guards on the runway, then Emperor Titus IV was the first to get off the plane, but before he looked at me and said in a imperative tone.
"Titus Commodus, the Imperial Guard will protect you, do nothing and move forward, the less the world knows about you, the better for you, this is an order and it is for your own good."
Well, maybe the former owner of this body wasn't exactly the most disciplined, but I know what happens to undisciplined people in great influence of power in history, an example was the Emperor Commodus, an unruly and party-loving prince who was the successor of the legendary Emperor Marcus Aurelius, with this reign began the long fall of the Roman Empire, so I only agreed with the Emperor Titus IV ordered.
Emperor Titus IV was the first to exit the plane, then the ministers and senators, and finally the Imperial Guard and myself.
Entering the base there were even more guards protecting the base, outside there are journalists from all over the world, then Emperor Titus IV looked at the Imperial Guard and ordered the chief of the Imperial Guard.
"Decanus Marcus Paulus, there is a door at the back of the base that when you open it there will be a reserve limousine that will take you to the Château de Aux-Le Champignon, this is a secret route there and is only used for shortcuts so take the my grandson there."
The head of the Imperial Guard agreed with Emperor Titus IV and he turned and ordered the Imperial Guard.
"Imperial Guard! We have to take the Crown Prince to Château Aux-Le de Champignon, grab your automatic pistols, let's protect the Crown Prince and take him to his destination!"
The Imperial Guard, from what I remember of this body, is like an improved version of the Varangian Guard, was created in 1872 by Emperor Titus I, in the Edict of New Constantinople, inspired by the French Zouaves and the Varangian Guard, the emperor chose the best legionaries of Roman and non-Roman origin, the 10 members of the Imperial Guard, the chief would be of Roman origin and the rest could be from other countries with the exception of the German Empire which had very bad relations with the Tropical Roman Empire, the first Imperial Guard was formed by 4 Tropical Romans, 2 Spanish, 3 Irish and 1 Italian, since then the Imperial Guard varied in nationality, in the 90s the majority of the Imperial Guard was formed by Lebanese Christians who fought in the Lebanese Civil War, today, according to the memory, this body is made up of 5 Roman-tropicals, 2 Portuguese, 1 Norwegian, 1 Greek and 1 Italian, all of them are elite soldiers who would be worth 1,000 soldiers due to their brutal efficiency.
Then the Imperial Guard took their weapons and escorted me to the back door, the limousine driver opened the door and soon I walked out and got into the limousine.
Soon the Imperial Guard also entered the limousine and the driver started the limousine and went to the Château Aux-Le de Champignon, finally I was returning to the place where the former owner of this body lived, I'll see if that's really all that this body's memory says about this castle.
