Cleopatra VII's prophecy and wager

Antony, knowing that Cleopatra VII had long been immersed in grief because of the loss of Caesar and the disappointment caused by the will, made a point of finding an opportunity to visit Cleopatra VII. "My dear Queen Cleopatra VII, I know that you are still grieving over the death of Caesar, but one cannot rise from the dead, and I hope that you will forget the sorrow that death brings and take care to rest and recuperate! What are you thinking about, my dear, with your frown?" Antony seemed to want to relieve Cleopatra VII of her sorrows!

Cleopatra VII felt some warmth in her heart when she heard the care in Antony's words. She then opened her heart and spoke her thoughts to Antony: "The Wheel of Fortune had Caesar assassinated, but to my consolation, Caesar's soul has been restored to its original form as the Green Dragon, and at this very moment, he is in heaven, practising with my spiritual true form, Zwei! Those people who assassinated Caesar were so bad, they will surely be punished! I wish all people would love and respect life and stop killing! Otherwise the invisible code of karma will punish the murderers when the time is right!"

Antony reassured Cleopatra VII, "I agree with you! They will surely get what they deserve! I intend to form an alliance with Octavian to avenge Caesar's death!"

Mark Antony and Octavian, who had been in political agreement after Caesar's death, Octavian being Caesar's adopted son and Antony being Caesar's loyal follower, worked together to avenge Caesar and pointed the finger at Brutus and Cassius, and social opinion gradually rose and fell, both advocating revenge for Caesar, so the two worked together to kill their enemies and avenge Caesar's death!

Time proved everything, and Cleopatra VII's prophecy really did come true. Those who had participated in the plot to assassinate Caesar suffered the punishment of karma: hardly anyone who had assassinated Caesar lived more than three years after his death. All were found guilty and died in different ways: some in shipwrecks, some in the subsequent wars waged by Octavian and other Caesars' generals, and some committed suicide with the same dagger used to assassinate Caesar.

...

That said, Antony, determined in his heart to avenge Caesar's death, remembered what Octavian had mentioned to him in private: "I'm not going to lie to you, but Octavian, in order to form an alliance with me, he wants me to marry her sister Octavia (Octavia)!"

"What? He wants to make a rectifying alliance with you! Then what is our relationship?" Cleopatra VII was a little upset.

"The purpose of a political alliance is an alliance of forces, which will lead to a stronger army! We are now weak because of what happened with Caesar's will, and because Octavian himself executed Caesar's will, which gave the Romans some monetary aid under Caesar's will, Octavian is deeply popular, and at this moment most of the power in Rome is in Octavian's hands! This union would strengthen my political power! I intend to marry Octavia, Octavian's sister, first, and then divorce her and marry you when we have gained more political power in Rome! In any case, dear queen, you must know that it is of course you that I love most in my heart!" Antony hugged Cleopatra VII with some difficulty! But the political situation now made it impossible for him to think of any other way!

"I understand you, but I don't want to share the same man with other women, I want clean and pure love, I want only true, faithful, only love! I'm so free from all political ties now! I am so easily free of my single status! If Caesar hadn't died, Caesar and I planned to be in a one-to-one committed relationship! But Caesar was stabbed to death, and you came into my life, and I hope we can work together to finally become a faithful one-to-one couple! To treat each other as if we were each other's one true love! But instead you wanted ..." There was a clear note of discontent and anger in Cleopatra VII's tone.

"I was thinking of our political future!" Antony was also a little upset. This was the first argument they had had since they had fallen in love!

"You don't need a political union with someone else, you stay with me, we get married and run Egypt together, I have no shortage of money to spend and you don't need to go back to Rome! I promise you that I could spend 10 million pieces of silver on a meal if I wanted to!" Cleopatra VII shone a light on her financial strength!

"Meanwhile, I'll bet you! Even if you marry Octavian's sister, eventually you will have to divorce her! For we are a fated couple! We have a common mission of salvation!"

Cleopatra VII said to her maid, "Angela, prepare me some food and bring me a cup of vinegar!" Angela served some food and a glass of vinegar as the Queen had requested.

Cleopatra VII took off one of her earrings and removed a pearl from its midst, then threw the pearl into the vinegar and watched it dissolve. "I am willing to drink this cup of pearl vinegar to bet you that even if you marry Octavian's sister, you will end up divorcing her! Because we are destined to be married! Time will tell!"

Cleopatra VII drank the cup of vinegar in front of Antony to prove that she was willing to do anything to win the wager.

Antony watched in silence as Cleopatra VII drank the glass of vinegar, stunned! What was he to do? The idea that Cleopatra VII was the reincarnation of a deity came back to him, and he wanted to believe her, but Antony was not willing to give up his power in Rome, and it really put him between a rock and a hard place! Antony frowned, not knowing what to do!

Who is the ultimate winner of this wager? Only the wheel of fortune knows the answer! Time will tell ...
