EMPEROR FABIUS
Did you get a confession from the monk?
Lucius
Yes. He told us about the conspiracy, but he died before he tell his their names.
Emperor Fabius
I have always suspected Tiagnos. We were close friends, but after I became an emperor, he changed. I want you to send your best men to kill Tiagnos; and take his daughter.

ISBAELLA
