Anticipating the Enemy's Schemes

Sigefrida stood across from Marcellus, who sat in his office and read over the document that had been provided to him by the frumentarii. The evidence was damning. It was not only an incident report, but a report about the punishments inflicted upon those who had survived the border crisis. It was signed by the local Dux and stamped with the seal of Constantinople. There was simply no way for the eastern roman empire to deny these allegations now that Marcellus had such proof. 

Upon realizing that, the only reason he was able to obtain such evidence was because of Sigefrida's quality leadership over his intelligence network. Marcellus quickly approached the woman and wrapped his arms around her before planting a kiss on her lips.
