"I now propose the impeachment of Nero Claudius, First Citizen and Augustus."
Sextus stood up from his seat and said to the senators in the court.
"Who has any objection?"
He asked, glancing around.
The senators standing in the chamber rushed behind Sextus.
Sextus had served as a magistrate in his youth, so he was one of the few senators qualified to sit.
His attire is also different from the pure white robes of the speechless "Walkers" and the white robes of ordinary senators with a purple ribbon.
Sextus wore an intricate purple-edged white robe called a toga praetexta.
After the reforms of Octavian Augustus, the Senate no longer actually held the highest power in Rome.
But on the surface, Rome was still a republic.
Each Augustus was the first citizen elected by the Senate.
The senators still nominally decide all affairs of the country - if not counting the veto power of the first citizen.
With the palace collapsed and Nero's life or death uncertain, it was now the time for Sextus to take action.
Ordinary senators do not have the right to speak when the Senate decides on matters. They can only stand behind the person they approve of and vote.
They are also called "Walkers".
Most of the time, the elders who have the right to speak cannot really put forward their own opinions and can only shout out the plan they agree with.
This directly led to the Senate during the Republic becoming a place where whoever had the loudest voice would have the upper hand most of the time.
After entering the imperial era, the situation became much better, but the "voice" in the Senate was still controlled by a few senators sitting at the head.
Sextus was one of them.
Now that things have happened, it is difficult for his words to be violated in this senate that talks about big things and small things.
This was the best chance to kick Nero away.
As for the threat from the United Empire, he has already thought of a countermeasure.
In fact, a few months ago, Sextus was contacted by a mysterious man who claimed to be the "Eight-Clawed Spider".
The mysterious man said that as long as Sextus could find a way to dismantle the rule of Nero Claudius from within, the safety and power of the Senate and himself could be guaranteed.
The monarchs who made up the United Empire themselves formed a structure similar to the Senate.
Sextus was moved.
But with Nero supported by the Guards, what he could do was better than nothing.
Moreover, Sextus still doubted the other party's identity, but in order to create an extra escape route, he just sent him away politely.
When "Eight-clawed Spider" left, he just smiled and left him a message:
"You'll find your chance."
After that, even though Sextus sent people to follow him, there was no clue, and the "Ectopus Spider" disappeared as if it had never appeared.
Now it seems that he has really found a chance.
I'm afraid all this was expected by the mysterious man.
Sextus looked at the other senators who were sitting on the seats and did not express their opinions.
I'm afraid they have already been in contact with the "Eight-clawed Spider", and they haven't raised any objections until now, which also explains their attitude.
Sextus nodded with satisfaction.
He was about to succeed.
The beautiful prospect described by "Eight-Clawed Spider" seemed to have appeared before his eyes.
"I don't agree————"
Calm, but at this time, the objections that seemed particularly harsh resounded in the Senate.
Sextus looked back in surprise at the direction from which the objection came.
A tall figure walked out from behind the dark doorway, his face illuminated by the yellowish candlelight.
It was Animusfia who came from the Palatine Mountains.
He has black hair and eyes similar to those of a Roman, but his face is slightly different, and his left arm made of metal is slightly weird.
Are you from the Eastern Province?
Sextus was not sure, but he was certain that the other party should never appear here, on this sacred occasion that symbolized Rome.
"You have no right to speak, citizen."
Sextus stared at Animusphia.
"And you broke into the Senate without permission. How bold——"
Before he could finish his words, Sextus was interrupted by the girl's scolding.
"He does not have the right to speak, but what about Yu?"
Nero's figure followed Animusfia into the meeting hall.
The senators who saw Nero started making noises one after another, and the expressions of the other senators who had remained motionless in their seats began to change.
This is the reason why they didn't take a stand before.
"I now deny your proposal."
Nero's face tightened as he stared at Sextus.
Sextus gritted his teeth.
What about Caligula?
He saw with his own eyes that Caligula smashed the wall of Rome with one punch, and then went straight to the Palatine Hill.
The Palatine Hill was also razed to the ground, and Sextus could not imagine how Nero could still appear intact in the Senate under such circumstances.
But now Nero had no Guards with him.
Regardless of whether the Guardsmen were dead or not, there was only the unidentified Animusfia beside Nero.
I can only give it a try.
"It's too late, Nero."
Sextus no longer used the honorific title even in front of Nero.
"The Senate has passed the resolution. Now you are neither the first citizen nor Augustus, just an ordinary nobleman."
Sextus pointed at Nero.
"The capital was captured and the palace was destroyed. You are responsible for the losses that Rome has suffered until today! Senators, join me in judging the sinners of Rome!"
The veteran slave of Sextus rushed out first, and other senators in the Senate also took advantage of the situation and swarmed forward.
The death of Caesar was about to be repeated.
However, it is a pity that even if Nero is the only one here, she now has the [Emperor's Privilege] bonus and is definitely not comparable to a group of senators and slaves.
Not to mention that Animusfia is by her side now.
With a muffled sound, the first veteran who rushed forward flew out like a cannonball, hitting the wall of the Senate and becoming embedded in it.
The surrounding elders seemed to be frozen for an instant, frozen in place.
After finishing everything, Animusfia raised her metal prosthesis and showed a kind smile:
"Excuse me, what did you just say?"
Animusfia shook her left arm demonstratively.
"Can you say it again?"
Sextus continued tremblingly:
"No...you can't do this! We are senators! We represent Rome! You are going against the will of Rome!"
"well."
Animusfia sighed.
"It seems that even after experiencing so many Augustus, you still haven't been able to accept the reality, old antiques."
The black magic bundle bound Sextus' body and lifted him into the air.
"Don't you understand yet? Who is Rome?"
