Theodora wanted Flavia gone. But the Emperor was not listening to Theodora's requests. Maximus had a very good relationship with his father although he might not remember it all too well because he was so little then.
Alexandra was happy to hear that Maximus received so much love from his father. He tried to protect Maximus from his mother. But she remembered Maximus saying that he was sent to live in that stone mansion in the mountains when he was very young because his mother didn't want him in the Royal city.
So she asked about it. Flavia had a complicated expression when she talked about it.
The Emperor loved Maximus so much, but he fell ill. The Chief Priest of the Temple of the Dragon King foretold that the throne is vying for the heir to sit on it since the heir is the original owner of the throne.
