Flattered, the word was fitting to describe Luga, for he was relieved to get rid of Corminitius, who was trying to marry his burly daughter to Luga, but the first thing he saw when he looked up was Theodosius II.

Looking at Augustus' stunned expression, Luga realized his gaffe.

"Hmph..."

In order to alleviate his embarrassment, Luga deliberately cleared his throat, but he didn't expect that Augustus was still staring at him with his eyes and not saying a word, and suddenly the whole scene was even more embarrassing.

"Well, Caesar, well... Just a thing, well... I hope it didn't frighten Caesar. Luga realized his gaffe, to be honest, he was also stunned at this time, and he couldn't find the prevarication words, forget it, embarrassing, just be so embarrassed. There was no topic that could be rounded up at the moment, and Luga gave up on himself in his heart, but his appearance was still restrained, and he didn't even know where to put his hands when he sat on the blanket.

"Luga, don't be formal, Your Excellency Cominitius is worried that his daughter is too strong to be favored by the noble boys, and in the midst of his helplessness, you, the big hero, appeared, which made his eyes shine, he is indeed a little domineering, and I hope you haven't received too much influence." Theodosius II broke the embarrassment with a smile, which made Luga breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, fortunately, it seems that Augustus didn't care too much about Luga's gaffe.

Seeing Theodosius II smiling and nothing seemed wrong, the question that Luga had held back in his heart finally couldn't bear it anymore and erupted like a volcano.

"Caesar!" Luga straightened up, paused for a moment, and then opened his mouth to ask, "Nisibis is right in front of us, if we quietly make additions, we can immediately recover the city that has been taken by Isiai......"

"No, no, no, Luga, I don't like to discuss this right now!" Theodosius II interrupted Luga with a wave of his hand, his eyes were deep, and he kept dodging Luga's gaze at him. Theodosius II turned his head to pull the curtain open, and he cared about the cheers of the citizens and the flowers in the sky. This is a deliberate dodge, a deliberate dodge of Luga's question, but Theodosius II's eyes don't seem to be focused on the commoners who are sending off, yes, he lost his mind, he has other things in his heart, this is also normal, Augustus of a huge empire, he must have a lot of inextricable bonds, binds him, makes it difficult for him to use his hands and feet.

Luga knelt opposite Theodosius II, he seemed to be able to understand Theodosius's evasion, he must have taken it into account, and used the excuse that the emperor was so busy, to excuse him and excuse himself.

After a month and a half, the 10,000-strong team of 10,000 people who returned home along the way finally arrived in Constantinople with only about 5,000 men, which was half of what they had set out for, and there were no wounded soldiers in the procession, because they were all abandoned by Augustus in Edessa.

Although he returned in a state of embarrassment, because Theodosius had specifically instructed that no one in Constantinople or even in the entire Eastern and Western Empires knew about the war.

"I have been in Edessa for more than a week to keep the nobles in the city from being swayed by the presence of the Sassanid soldiers." Theodosius II continued in a deep voice: "Second, it is to block the news of this war, because the damage is too great, it is all because of me, and I do not want to shake my dominance because of the defeat of this war, so that the nobles who oppose me in the country will seize my weakness. ”

"So you don't go to recover Nisibis, because you're afraid you'll make the same mistake again as you did in that battle?" Luga asked him directly, "Am I right?" Caesar, are you afraid of more senseless sacrifices? ”

"It's useless for you to talk like that, Luga." Luga's tone was indeed a little aggressive, which made Theodosius II sound very uncomfortable, but Luga was his savior after all, and he was a rare war talent in the eyes of Theodosius II, and most importantly, Luga was a native of the Western Empire, Augustus of the Western Empire, and his nephew recommended him to the person who tried to survive. "I can understand your grievances, Luga." Theodosius II let out a long sigh, "But you must understand that Sassanid Persia is a huge country after all, and it is difficult to predict it, and if I lead these loyal soldiers to a bold attack, if I am ambushed by Izia, then I will not be able to bring so many people home." ”

Luga was silent, this time it was his turn to turn his head out the window, and there was silence again in the small carriage.

"I have lost so much about this war, and I have experienced too much." Theodosius II did not care about Luca's silence either, and the II complained to himself: "I feel that I have made too many mistakes, which are the sins inherited from my father, and I am not too young, it is time for me to come forward and atone for my sins!" ”

"...... Atonement," Luga whispered, not knowing what it was all about, but he waited and watched, curious about Theodosius II's journey of atonement.

Theodosius II returned to his own city, Constantinople, and naturally did not sit idle, and he prepared for a whole month, which was already late autumn, and he made a most important decision at this time when the leaves were yellowing and the future was considered to be stable.

Welcome back the remains of the former Archbishop of Constantinople, Claisstein, who was banished to death by his father Arcadius.

On this day, the church of Sophia was crowded with bishops and priests, as well as the soldiers who guarded the church and most of the people who came spontaneously. Luga and Andrew, as the close guards of Theodosius II, were dressed in heavy scale armor, purple cloaks, and even the vertical horses on their helmets were purple, as if they were royal. They are behind Theodosius II, who today wears a festive costume and wears a golden crown full of diamonds. Holding his wife Arya in his right hand. Odoria holds his young daughter Likinia with her left hand. Odoria. Humilly like a devout believer, he stood respectfully in front of Sophia's Church and waited quietly.

Theodosius II's wife is not a country and a city, it can only be said to be dignified, but she is polite and polite to be a nobleman, and she is worthy of becoming the queen of the world.

Theodosius II's daughter, Liequinia, though she had received a very strict aristocratic education, was less stable than her mother, and she was not interested in such solemn and serious activities. She was very young, fifteen years old this year, but she miraculously inherited all the virtues of her parents as if she had been blessed by the heavens. At a young age, she was white and flawless, and her cardamom years were like hibiscus out of the water, which made Luga afraid that she would be in a trance if she looked at her more.

Soon, a procession of people appeared on the street in front of Sophia's church, they were the guards escorting the coffin of the Archbishop of Constantinople. They carried the coffin slowly in front of Theodosius II.

As a devout believer, and full of thoughts of atonement, Theodosius II decided to take the initiative to move forward, leaning forward, and respectfully welcoming the coffin of Archbishop Claisstein.

In front of Augustus, the guards stopped and slowly lowered the coffin, while Theodosius II, regardless of whether the dust on the ground would stain his luxurious dress, knelt down directly, gently stroked the worn-out coffin with his right hand, tears rained down, and said in his mouth: "For God's sake, forgive my sins!" ”

Augustus knelt down, begging for forgiveness from God and Archbishop Claisotan for forgiveness, and the clergy recited fragments from the Bible in order to rest the Archbishop, who had been humiliated during his lifetime. The queen also kept wiping her tears, and she still followed her husband closely. Such a scene made Liekinia, who was still in the rebellious period, a little confused, presumably she was hesitating whether to cry or not.

"It's bowing to the clergy." The seemingly tragic scene, only Luga alone was unmoved, yes, he witnessed the rise of Eastern Christianity, at this very moment.
