Caesar's will is otherwise fishy

Cleopatra VII conquered Antony with her charms and they were soulmates, mind and body, in a purple sailing ship! At the same time she did not forget to persuade Antony to form an alliance with her to secure the rule of Egypt and Rome! So, to make Antony remember that they both had the difficult task of saving the world together, she told him from beginning to end that Antony was the reincarnation of the White Tiger! When Antony heard it, he couldn't believe for a moment that it was all true! But looking at the seriousness of Cleopatra VII, he had no reason to doubt her claim, and thinking that many people believed that Cleopatra VII was the reincarnated queen of the goddess Isis, he went along with it and said.

"Cleopatra VII, what you have just told me, I do not recall at all! However, since I have long adored you, and today we are lovers in name only, and since I am a faithful follower of Caesar, it is my duty to look after your children and Caesar's after his death! Therefore, from today onwards, whatever you ask me to do for you, I will do my best! What's more, if your dream is for me to join you in saving the people of Earth and benefiting all things, I will work with you towards the early realisation of this difficult and wonderful task!"

"Anthony, thank you! We are already old friends, so I'll be honest! Caesar made a will and showed it to me before he died, and his will says that young Caesar will be his heir! Can you get me the official will and get Rome to formally adopt and execute Caesar's will? Only then will the identity and rights of Caesar's own son, Caesar the Younger, be truly protected!" Caesar had died so suddenly that Cleopatra VII could not remember how she had spent those days without him, and now Caesar's will had become an uncertain unknown!

"I will help you to implement the will as soon as I return to Rome!" Antony verbally agreed to Cleopatra VII's request regarding the implementation of Caesar's will.

"It is not too late, then you will return to Rome as soon as possible for this matter, and when Rome officially announces Caesar's will, please find a way to invite me to this meeting!" Cleopatra VII, knowing that the night is long, urged Antony to put this matter into effect as soon as possible!

Cleopatra VII was right in his suspicions, and although Antony returned to Egypt as soon as possible and found a way to implement the matter of Caesar's will, it was already in the hands of Caesar's adopted son Octavian before Antony got his hands on the official will!

It is worth noting: Caesar's assassination coincided with the first year of his dictatorship for life, and given the political circumstances of the time, and the fact that Caesar was planning to go on a campaign, Caesar had made his will six months before he left for Parthia. Caesar wrote his will in advance and deposited it with the Virgin of Vesta, in accordance with the Roman system of wills. The Vestal Virgins were responsible for looking after the sacred fire and were physically inviolable, thus amounting to providing a notary for the will. The beneficiaries of the inheritance, on the other hand, did not necessarily have to be heirs, but could be handsome men of the same clan or friends who were close friends. It was therefore feasible for Caesar to make his own son, Caesar the younger, the heir to his estate! What is more, Caesar did not expect to be stabbed to death, so his will was made on the premise that he had successfully transformed Rome from a republic into a Roman imperial monarchy! As king and monarch of Rome, it was only right that he should make his own son, Caesar the Younger, his heir!

But no one could have imagined that Caesar would be stabbed to death! After Caesar's death, the young Caesar was too young for Octavian to take advantage of being Caesar's adopted son and his political position in Rome to have gotten a jump on him and gotten his hands on the will! Octavian officially notified the people involved, including Cleopatra VII, to come to Rome for a meeting about Caesar's will!

Cleopatra VII thought that young Caesar would be formally made Caesar's testamentary heir according to the will, since young Caesar was Caesar's only natural son! So with some anticipation he accepted the invitation to come to Rome to wait for the announcement of the will.

Caesar's will was opened and read at the home of Mark Antony, as his father-in-law had requested. Octavian said to all present: "This will was made by Caesar on the 13th of September of the previous year! and has been kept in the hands of the Prioress Vestal. In this will, Caesar named his sister's three grandsons as his heirs: three-quarters of the estate was given to Octavian, and the remaining quarter was to be shared by Ruggius Pinarius and Cventus Petius; in addition, he left the gardens of the Tiber to the common use of the people and gave 300 sestertius to each citizen. Octavian automatically became executor of the will if he accepted the inheritance ..."

Cleopatra VII couldn't believe her ears a bit after hearing Caesar's will read by Octavian! Who had the audacity to tamper with Caesar's will? Not even mentioning young Caesar or her name? And Caesar had mentioned to Cleopatra VII that he would publicly announce the law allowing Roman citizens, including Caesar himself, to marry freely! None of these clauses that Caesar had discussed with Cleopatra VII appeared in Caesar's will! But now it was too late to say anything! It suddenly occurred to Cleopatra VII that Caesar's assassination and the tampering with his will must be connected by a conspiracy! Caesar had been assassinated before Caesar had declared the law that he was free to marry, so Cleopatra VII had not officially married Caesar, and her own son with Caesar was called a bastard by those who had tampered with the will for power and money! Cleopatra VII felt tearful! Now that Caesar was dead, she could not confirm with him what his final will really looked like? There was no way that Caesar, who loved her so much and their own son, Little Caesar, would not mention a word about her and her son, Little Caesar, in his will! Caesar's will, as read by Octavian, had nothing in it for her and little Caesar! The only consolation she found was that the will retained the 300 sestertius she had discussed with Caesar for each citizen to help the people of Rome! It made her feel a little better to think of it! At the very least, Caesar's will would benefit the citizens of Rome!

At the same time, Caesar's will made Cleopatra VII feel that some people on earth were morally corrupt and vicious! Humans fight, kill, fight, forge and tamper with wills for power, money and profit! But now it was too late to say anything! Caesar has been stabbed to death! After hearing the will read out, Cleopatra VII wanted to say something else, but Antony stopped her with a look! Cleopatra VII looked at all the people present, all of whom were close friends or relatives of Octavian! It was useless for her to say anything at this point!

Cleopatra VII left Rome for Egypt, disappointed, after having attended all the events concerning Caesar, including the funeral, with tears in her eyes!

On her way back to Egypt, Cleopatra VII said in her heart to Caesar: "Caesar, I'm sorry! The power of Rome is not in my hands, and I cannot help you to fulfil your last wish in the will that you once negotiated with me! Still less can I fulfil our common desire to establish an earthly paradise in Rome here and now!"

Cleopatra VII kept on weeping out of sadness and disappointment, and with tearful eyes she seemed to hallucinate, as if she heard the voice of Caesar, the Green Dragon, ringing in the air: "My beloved Queen Cleopatra VII, weep not, grieve not! Although we are separated in life and death and cannot be together because of the difference in time and space, I am in heaven with your spiritual true body, Ziyou, practising, and you are on Earth with the White Tiger continuing to work to maintain peace and stability in Egypt, and although in this life we do not realise our dream of an earthly paradise in Rome, one day we will meet, know and love each other again on Earth, reincarnate and reincarnate together, and work together until we Together we will accomplish the task of salvation and establish on earth a peaceful and stable heaven on earth where all people are morally equal, respectful and loving! We will work together for the benefit of all beings! My beloved Cleopatra VII, for this goal I will always be waiting for you, whether on Earth or anywhere in the universe, and we will not meet again!"
