OTHER COMMS IN THE HISTORYVERSE:
Explanation: The Praetorian Guard was, theoretically, the bodyguard of the Emperor of Rome. However, in practice, it was more of a secret police force - and had a nasty tendency of both demanding bribes from Emperors, and overthrowing/murdering Emperors which did not give them what they wanted.
But of course, they wouldn't make any threats, not to the honored person of the Emperor! But whenever they ask... there's the 'implication'...
It kinda sounds like the emperor is in danger.
“You haven’t been listening! It’s the IMPLICATION.”
Don't look at me like that, plebeian. A poor like YOU wouldn't be in danger.
"SO THESE EMPERORS ARE IN DANGER!"
