Odeses' neglect in Ravenna was inseparable from his usual way of doing things, but he represented the will of Attila on the Hun side, and his expulsion meant that Attila was not well received in Rome.

Rome and the Huns lost their only chance to talk in one morning, and the only problem that diplomacy could not solve was the longbow and sword.

The clouds of war hung over the whole territory of Rome, especially the courtiers and the Senate Council, and after Odystes was gone, the faces of the old nobles were full of sorrow, and they could not see a smile all day, as if all of them were suffering from depression at this moment.

The officers spent the day discussing the map, speculating whether Attila would go straight to Ravenna from Dalmatia or whether he would be in Gaul and quarrelsome.

While the court of Western Rome was at a loss, in the imperial palace of Eastern Rome, everything did not seem to be as tense as imagined.

"I thought you, Lickinia, were a simple-minded bee trying to break free from the sturdy cobwebs and stir up its wings." Luga stretched out his hand and stroked Licina's chin, but Licina's smile revealed evil spirits, "And now, I have carelessly stripped off your beautiful cloak and revealed your hideous true colors. Let's be honest, Lickinia, you really, really scared me! ”

Liekinia sat in her seat and was at the mercy of Luga without resisting, as if she were enjoying the sensation, like a frog boiling in warm water, and she would not resist until she actually felt that she could burn her skin and make her suffer or even kill herself.

"Do you think I'm doing this just for myself? Great Caesar! "Lickinia was not afraid of Luga at all, she raised her head and stared at Luga, the look in her eyes made Luga's heart furious, and she couldn't tell what it felt." It's all because of my burning love for you, so honest and true, if you are a male god in the heavens, I am afraid you will be moved by me. ”

"It's a pity that I'm not a god and can't grasp your passion."

"You are a fallen god, believe me, Luga." Lykinia looked at Luga with a serious face, and then said: "The person who can become Augustus, whether it is chosen by God or blood, will not be a mortal, because a mortal will only take care of the field that is only a few steps away, and then count with his fingers what kind of food the mother-in-law in the family will prepare today, whether it is delicious or not, day after day, the value of life is only to starve yourself to death, and you are not, Caesar!" ”

"What a strange woman." Luga said, tossing her chin to the side, "Well, I'll assume that it's all because you can't stand the helplessness of your incompetent and rude husband, but you're so bold that I'm amazed at it, and I even feel like Queen Regent Plasettia can't do anything as crazy as yours when she's alive." ”

"That's because she hasn't experienced the same despair as I did." Likinia pursed her lips and retorted unconvinced, "Caesar, I confided my heart to you early on, and swore to love you consistently, but you are as cold as a mural on the wall of a church, and no matter how much you talk to him, you will not move him." So I long for you to know my love for you, but you have ignored me except to run away, and I have tried to forget you, but every time the good news comes, the whole palace is only you, and whenever I hear your name from other people's mouths, I can't help but think of you, Caesar, I try very hard to forget you, but I can't do anything about it. Although I am the Augusta of Western Rome, and I have a noble air all over me, as they say, I still have love, and this affection does not become dull and calm with time because of my efforts, but it grows stronger with time like wine in a barrel. ”

Listening to Lickinia's somewhat excited, crying, choked and soothing tone, well, although Luga thought that he had already hated the temptation of Licina's pitiful appearance. But now he had to admit that he was indeed moved by Leekinia's words.

Perhaps, you will laugh at Luja for being naïve and lacking in the moral discipline of her own heart, and that she will be moved by this simple remark, but I have to ask: if a woman looks at herself with tears in her eyes and opens her mouth, "I love you, and my feelings are so pure, all because of my own selfishness." "Wouldn't you be surprised, and your heart wouldn't throb with it?

Readers who may have received oriental education since childhood are not interested in such explicit words, because they are used to women's introverted and shy, so when faced with such passivity, they will think that this is where bad intentions lie.

But this is the norm in Luga's environment, men and women are never shy to express their love for the opposite sex, and always crave the love of both parties to be honest.

Luga thought he was ready for anything, but he was caught off guard and his head went blank.

"I have to admit that you are really fearless." Luga sighed softly and sat down slowly in the seat across from Lickinia.

"Yes, yes, Caesar, I love you no matter what you say about me." Leekinia repeatedly emphasized her love for Luga, and did not forget to continue to explain: "You should understand my good intentions, if it weren't for this letter I wrote, Caesar, you wouldn't want to inherit everything from my father, you are always worried, you are capable but you are bound to do a great job, I don't understand what you are afraid of, I thought you would take action because of the news of my father's death, but you didn't do it, It seems to me that your current position is far less valuable than the dispensable land in Iberia. ”

"I don't want to be internally exhausted for this..."Lu Jia said halfway, but after thinking to himself, he waved his hand and said, "That's it, it's not something you're thinking about. ”

"I have to admit, Liekinia, you're a smart woman." Luga couldn't help but praise Licina: "If you have enough opportunities, you will definitely become a regent who is feared by the world." ”

"But such a wise woman is desperate for your love at this moment." Leekinia burst into tears and laughed charmingly.

"I really want to drive you back to the ex-husband you hate, and make you feel like you're going to hell." Luga stretched out her hand, and Likinia obediently stretched her neck and put her face in Luga's hand for him to play with, while staring at Luga with big watery eyes, and asked Luga with some anticipation in her eyes, "Will you really do this?" Aren't you afraid that I'll hate you for it? ”

"Oh, of course, so I changed my mind." Luga smiled meaningfully, "You are like a sharp knife that will stick to my heart at any time, and it will always make me toss and turn when I am not in my hand, so I intend to hold the handle firmly so that the blade does not hurt myself." ”
