Chapter 640: Theatre of Pompey
It seemed that Kurama was going to be acting as Caesar. The background scenery was changed with the help of magic. Hats was acting as the narrator.
"On a fine morning, March 15, 44 B.C. Julius Caesar and his best bro, Marcus Brutus, sat in the living room of Caesar's palace. They drank orange juice and ate cake." Hats voice gave the scene information.
Then, the spotlight switched on and fell on Kurama(Caesar) and Chomei(Brutus). Everyone waited for the two to speak. Soon 10 seconds passed and the two were still eating.
With his mouth full, Chomei glanced to his side. He noticed the crowd and suddenly remembered what they were supposed to do. He drank the juice and coughed.
*Cough*
"Caesar, my bro. Why don't you come with me to the senate today? Today is... Ides of March after all." Brutus(Chomei) said.
Caesar(Kurama), in his original grumpy attitude, replied, "Why? I don't need to attend these low lever senates."
"Oh come on, bro. We just want to kil... I mean we want you to come and tell the Roman empire that you are a responsible ruler who is shaping the future of the empire. It will be a statement for all your enemies." Brutus insisted, ignoring the slip of the tongue.
"Umm, no." Caesar lazily laid back.
"There will be food," Brutus added."All right then, let's go." Caesar got up to leave.
The spotlight switched off and the stage went black. Hat's voice started coming. "So, the two best bros went to the senate. But unknown to Caesar, his best bros and his people had some other plans. Let's see what transpired in the Theatre of Pompey."
The lights switched on and the whole stage lit up. There, a full senate room was made with steps to sit on and a podium at the centre. All the senators(Tailed Beasts) sat there. Casca(Shukaku) was currently speaking from the podium and others were listening.
"... this is why I want to make it compulsory for cakes to be cooked and presented to us to taste every day. This way, we can find out which cake is the best in the empire. This is a great responsibility we have, my brothers. Those in favour, say aye." Casca(Shukaku) said.
"AYEEEEE..." All of them enthusiastically raised their arms.
"Good, now I would like to welcome Gaius Julius Caesar and his best bro, Marcus Brutus," Casca(Shukaku) announced and left.
Julius and Brutus came in. Julius stood beside the podium to give his speech while Brutus stood behind him.
Julius(Kurama) Started speaking in a monotonous tune "Thank you for inviting me, my fellow compatriots. It is all because of our combined effort that the Roman Empire has become so strong. I know I know, I would have killed you if you had disobeyed me because I hold the most power but I know you won't betray me. After all, we all have a similar love for cakes. We all love Strawberry cakes.
"My bro, Brutus, convinced me to come here today for some reason. I was just lazing around anyway. So, make sure you entertain me well..."
*STAB*
"Argh..." Julius suddenly cried in pain.
He looked to the side and it was Casca(Shukaku).
"DIEEE.." he was certainly enjoying killing Caesar. His knife was small and had a pattern of banana on it. Everyone had this fake knife with a banana pattern.
*STAB*
Followed by this, another stab came. Then another. Everyone in the Senate got up to stab Caesar with their knives. To the audience, the scene looked too cute and funny because of the tailed beasts' small form factor.
Soon, Caesar's body was surrounded by everyone. Then the last stab came.
*STAB*
It was Brutus(Chomei). Caesar(Kurama) turned his head and looked, "You too, Brutus?"
"Sorry, bro, but only you liked strawberry cakes. The rest of us liked orange cake." Brutus said, shocking Caesar.
Caesar died right there. But, shockingly, the crowd didn't disperse.
*STAB*
Brutus(Chomei) suddenly shouted. "HEY, WHO'S STABBING ME? Hehe... it tickles."
But more stabs came after that. It was Decius Brutus(Son Goku) "No bro, we don't like Orange Cake, we like Banana cake."
Brutus was shocked, "What? NOOooooo..."
Brutus(Chomei) also died as his body fell on Caesar's.
*STAB*
Another stab came, Decius Brutus(Son Goku) screamed, "WHO STABBED ME?"
It was Cimber(Isobu), "Huh, only you like Banana cake. The rest is like fish cakes."
*STAB*
Cimber(Isobu) turned his head in horror, "Why?"
Cassius(Gyuki) scoffed, "Huh, Fish cake ain't even a cake. You fool, we love Ramen..."
*STAB*
"Wrong, Cassius, we don't love Ramen. We love ice cream.:" Casca(Shukaku) said.
In a shock, both Cimber(Isobu) and Cassius(Gyuki) died at the same time.
Learning from what just happened, Casca(Shukaku) immediately stabbed his knife at the person in his back. It was Cinna(Kokuo) behind him. But, shockingly, both of them stabbed each other at the same time and fell down.
Now, only Caecilius(Saiken) was left.
He saw the pile of dead bodies in front of him. He cried seeing it. With each cry, the fat on his stomach throbbed.
*Sniff*
"Come on, guys. Can't you all be like me and love all the food in the world?" He cried loudly.
With that, the lights were turned off. Hats voice again came.
"This way, Saiken, without even wanting to, became the emperor of the roman empire. He was later hailed as the best roman emperor ever. He was known by many names. Caecilius the kind, Caecilius the fat, Caecilius the fattest man to ever live, Caecilius the thick boy and so on.
With this, the story came to an end. All hail, Caecilius the thick boy,"
Lights switched on again and now there was a majestic throne on the stage with two women on both sides. Both were feeding him something. Then the curtains fell. The show ended with that.
All the people in the audience were shocked. They were not expecting this at all. In fact, this exceeded their expectations.
"Holy hell, that was some game of thrones level backstabbing... literally," Deadpool exclaimed with stars in his eyes. He really loved the show.
"Did they plan all this?" Alexander questioned.
"I don't think so." Olivia denied quickly.
They were all in such shock that only when Ajax came back did they become quiet.
"Woah, that was one hell of a show. Okay, moving on to the final act. My cute lovely little sister Thea will sing a song. Please be supportive." Ajax announced.
Soon, Thea shyly walked onto the stage with the mic in her hand. She looked super cute in her new dress.
"Umm... I will start now," she said shyly.
♫La Lala Lala
My grandma is so beautiful.
My grandpa is so ransom.♫
"HANDSOME," Chomei corrected her from backstage. She was just two years old. You can't expect her to remember everything she and Chomei wrote just a few minutes ago.
♫The cake looks big and tasty.
Chom-Chom wants to eat it quickly♫
"Hey, don't put it on me. You changed the lyrics." Chomei's voice came from behind the stage.
♫We are a big family, living in Phixheim.
Playing together we spend all our time
we... do... here... crime...♫
Her gaze suddenly fell on the tasty cake in distance and she forgot all the lyrics as her mouth salivated.
Everyone started laughing after seeing that. Their hearts were still warm though because Thea had already converted her feelings with the help of her power. She just loved everyone and foremost, she wanted to eat the cake.
~Give this girl a cake.~ was all everyone had in their mind.
