[ WP ] You 're the only Roman senator who was n't briefed on the whole 'kill Julius Caesar ' thing .

I walked through the streets of my great city toward the Senate. Caesar was n't one who was kind to people who were late to meetings. Lately, I'd been wearing his patience thin with the questions during the night. Other senators were meeting for some reason, but I had always had work to do, the city needed attention, and I had a way to give them hope. 
 
 I arrived in the Senate just as Caesar was. I did n't have a lot of time to get to my position, and I could n't allow the man to see me. I motioned to Tullius to distract the man for me. He and I had been good friends for our time in the Senate; I figured he would cover. 
 
 The men of the Senate rose as Tullius asked Ceasar to approach Climber. The two of them were moving for a greeting; there was somewhat of a power play going on right at that moment. Climber was reaching to get a better hold on Ceasar than he had on him. Ceasar was n't the kind to stand for that; he would punish Climber. 
 
 I slipped between the rows and glanced down at the waist of the man beside me. He was Cassius, a man who had long wanted Ceasar's position and rank. He had removed a dagger from his Toga. I nudged him, `` You are n't supposed to bring those into the -'' 
 
 Down the stairs, Servilius pulled out a dagger of his own and stuck the leader of the Senate in the shoulder. He cried out in pain as other men moved to rush him. I stood still, awestruck at the rebellion that I was watching. The men were brutally killing him. I did n't move to stop them, they had their reasons for wanting him dead, I had mine. 
 
 Ceasar drew his last breath a dozen minutes later, bleeding across the Senate. Minutes later everyone reconvened to discuss the matters of the day. Cassius, who had retaken his place beside me, approached me at the end of the day. 
 
 `` Sorry for the shock,'' he began, `` we wanted to invite you to the meetings, but you were always busy.'' 
 
 `` It's all right,'' I replied, `` just know that if anyone asks I am telling them that I put a dagger right in his neck.'' 
 
 `` His neck?'' 
 
 `` I want to seem important to history you know.''
