Chapter 678: The Culprit
"Well, will there be anyone else who will also write the Edict of Augustus?" Luga asked hurriedly.
"No, no, I mean, people other than Constantinople don't know how to write it." Olivisius shook his head and said, "Augustus was very fond of the Greek way of writing, so the Latin narrative is described above, and there is a Greek commentary below. The Romans in the west did not learn Greek. Unless... Unless..."
Seeing Olivisius' hesitant look, Luga expected that he must have something unspeakable and couldn't open his mouth, and hurriedly asked: "You must be hesitating about something, Lord Olivesius, come, come, don't worry and hesitate, tell me everything you know, don't hide anything!" ”
"The princess has also learned this way of writing, and I taught it."
"Princess?"
"Likenia."
"Oh my God, how could it be her." Luga shook his head as he spoke, in fact, he was not too surprised by this, but when Arya said that there was no such thing, Likinia was the woman who flashed in his head, and she was the only person.
"The parchment of Italy, plus the only one who has ever been out of Constantinople to learn a unique way of writing, is that Lickinia did not run. But how could he, Riekynia, hold such a secret thing? ”
"Because Valentinian often sends people to complain because he can't understand what it means."
"This could have been done by sending a few familiar courtiers."
"But Theodosius, after all, considered it confidential, and did not study at will like a law student." Olivisius explained: "So let me teach this technique to the princess, and then the princess will marry Valentinian, so that she can be his wife, and the two positions of translator, mainly because she doesn't want Valentinian to abandon Licchinia." ”
"But it turned out to be the opposite." Luga smiled wryly.
"What did you say, Caesar?"
"No, it's nothing, I just understood a vicious woman." Luga then got up and said to Olivisius, "Sorry, Your Excellency, for disturbing you, and I wish you a good day. ”
"May Heaven bless you, Caesar." In response to Luga's greeting, Olivisius bowed slightly, breathing a sigh of relief in his heart, finally understanding that this was not for him.
After another five days' journey, Luga returned to Constantinople. As soon as she returned to the top floor of the palace, she saw Liquinia sitting there anxiously waiting, and she didn't know why she was so frightened, until she saw Luga reappear at the door, and her nervous and solemn expression was slightly soothed at this time, as if she had breathed a long sigh of relief, and let go of a heavy stone in her heart.
"Where have you been, I haven't heard from you for so long, I asked Andrew about them, but they wouldn't tell me anything, do you have something to hide from me, Luga."
"No, I just went to Athens to visit an old friend." Luga is a lot more mature now, especially when it comes to lying, he is so easy that he can easily come. So much so that he could look at Lickinia's puzzled gaze without blushing or beating his heart, and he looked confident, as if he was always telling Lickinia that this was true.
"Impossible!" Licinia frowned and looked at Luga, "I haven't heard that you have friends in Athens, besides, you are now Augustus, the preeminent authority in Rome, there is no possibility that there will be friends for you to visit in person, tell me, you must be hiding something from me!" ”
Seeing that Lickinia was so decisive, Luga couldn't bear to expose her lies so directly at first, but now Licinia has repeatedly asked whether Luga is ruthless to show off with Licina.
"I'm going to look for Lord Olivisius."
Hearing the name Olivisius, Luga was able to see with her own eyes that Likinia's expression looked unnatural, and she raised her head and asked Luga, "What are you looking for him?" ”
"Look, Liekinia, you must have something to hide!" Luga thought to himself, but he didn't plan to disclose this soon, he wanted to make Liekinia feel panic, and really feel shame and fear for what she had done.
I saw Luga shrug his shoulders and said casually: "You must know that there are many more rules in the palace of Constantinople than in the rooms of this palace, and I, as Augustus, always have to understand the truth." ”
"Then you can ask me." Leekinia's tone was particularly domineering, as if Luga's search for Olivisius had really touched her most sensitive nerves. "I grew up here, and I know every house in it, and I know all the rules, no, you must not be because of this."
"Yes, of course, that's right, Liekinia." Luga thought it was time for a showdown with her, "I also asked him about the edict of Augustus and the edict. ”
This is not a trivial matter, Luga saw that Likinia's whole face was "brushed" and turned completely white, as if she was instantly poisoned by Medusa at the moment when Luga said this, and the whole person was petrified.
"Oh, Luga, dear, I know I shouldn't hide it from you, my friend." It was as if at this moment, when Liekinia saw that she could no longer hide anything, she chose to disarm.
Tears are a woman's best weapon, and of course, Liekinia began to understand this truth and fulfill it as the truth.
She hid her face and wept, crying to Luga about what had happened to her. "You should have sympathy for me, Luga, for all these years I have lived an inhuman life by the side of Valentinian, who is what I am, a statue, or a tool of procreation. I had no affection for him, and even the moments before I left for Constantinople he humiliated me incessantly. ”
"I understand what you say, Liekinia, but why do you want to take advantage of me, my sympathy for you, and my loyal love for my father!"
"Because I have no choice, Luga!" Likinia cried, and fell to her knees in front of Luga, holding Luga's legs with both hands, and raised her head, tears falling uncontrollably. Even though tears were raining down, Lickinia looked at Luga with a smile, "Listen, you can't do anything to me, because I am your sister, and my love for you is so pure, I helped you by knocking on the side, it was I who inspired you to become Augustus, to climb to the peak that few people in this world, I am doing this for your good, you can't blame me like this, I will be very sad!" ”
"But you can't deceive me either!"
"But it's another matter if you listen to my father, or whether you listen or not, I just want you to help me get me out of that damn stinking pool. Okay, I'm not going to force you any more, you keep being your Augustus, and I, I'd rather go to my father's mausoleum to spend the rest of my life with him, enough is enough, abandon me, as if I had never done anything like this. ”
"You're running away, Liekinia." Luga walked over, leaned down, and fixed his eyes on Licinia, who tried to dodge, but was pressed the seat by Luga's outstretched hand.
"I'm starting to like you a little bit, Liekinia." Luga said, the expression on his face that was not smiling.
