Even Adonis was powerless when faced with an emperor who valued his integrity so highly. If no arrests were permitted, how could the investigation continue?
Anyone who plotted an assassination would first make sure to distance themselves from the act. If they were exposed, there would be no place for them in the entire world where they could hide.
