Theodosius II's kneel resolved the grievances between the Eastern Holy See and Augustus, and of course it was a peace that Theodosius II chose to compromise.

Afterwards, without having time to change his dusty clothes, Theodosius II hastily summoned Luga and Andrew in his palace. After getting along for such a long time, Luga and Andrew are no longer as restrained as they were at the beginning, but sit together a lot more naturally.

This was strictly a family dinner, in the courtyard of the top floor of the Augustan Palace. This time is of great significance, because Luga and Andrew were unexpectedly called to the table, Luga was quite mentally prepared for this, but Andrew was not calm!

"Luga, Luga!"

Before he had even begun, Andrew kept shaking Luga, and he sat on the table with his eyes shining, and writhed as if his body was crawling with invisible insects, and he was so excited that he spoke with a trill.

"You know what? Do you know? This was a banquet that only members of the royal family could attend, and what did Augustus mean by inviting two of us close guards to be guests? ”

Andrew was on the verge of crying because Theodosius II, his wife, daughter, and a handful of attendants were present. His wife, Arya, was still softening her red and swollen eyes, which affected her image and her temperament. Daughter Lickinia was bored, she sat at the dining table and played with her fingers boringly, Andrew controlled himself, at least in front of the Flavis royal family, he was still able to maintain the upbringing he should embody.

The banquet did not begin, and Theodosius II was clearly waiting, as there were still empty seats at the table.

"I'm sorry, brother!"

A polite greeting, Luga sounded like it had a pretentious taste. He looked back with Andrew and saw a couple, the man was powerful and powerful, and at a glance he knew that he was a soldier, wearing a robe, but he looked dignified. The woman, who was a little older, and since she called Theodosius II her brother, was the sister of Augustus, and they went into the house, arm in arm, and stared at Theodosius II all the way, and trotted all the way to the table and sat down.

"Oh, Pulgolia, you're late again!" Theodosius II pretended to be angry and reproached her, but his tone was full of complaints, which made people sound spoiled, and I did not know what the man sitting next to Pulgolia would feel in his heart.

"Oh, brother, I haven't seen you for so long, of course my sister has to dress up well, so it's been delayed for a while!" Pulgolia's tone didn't look like an explanation, but more like a coquette, and when she heard Luga's head full of black lines, she thought to herself what kind of family this girl was, how did she feel so messy.

"Of course!" Theodosius II smiled and said to the man who was still standing beside Napurgoria: "Oh, my brother-in-law, do not be formal, sit down, Marcian. "It turned out that the man's name was Marcian.

Soon Pulgolia pulled her husband Marcian to sit down, and it was only by this time that the woman noticed two strangers sitting opposite her. In her moment of surprise, Pulgolia's eyes had already looked Luga and Andrew up and down, and her expression was naturally displeased. Because of the hasty preparation, Luga and Andrew didn't even have time to take off the armor on their bodies, which made the woman in front of them complain, after all, it was a family dinner, where did the outsiders dressed as these two soldiers come from.

"Oh, brother, I don't know where the guest is sitting across from me." Pulgolia smiled and asked Theodosius, "Where did these two guests come from, judging by their dresses, they must be the proud officers of the barracks." But at such a banquet, it is not appropriate! Pulgolia said, and the fellow named Marcian sitting beside her stared at Luga and Andrew like a leashed dog that would pounce on and bite at the command of his master.

Such people Luga and Andrew naturally dare not offend, the two of them are helpless here, and no matter how low-key they are, they are likely to be wiped out in minutes.

"You don't need to see outside, they're all my close guards!" Theodosius II smiled and introduced the couple: "Aurius. Luga, Aurius. Andrew. The close guards introduced by my nephew in the Western Empire are our honored guests, and it is my intention to serve them at the table, and my sister should only treat the two of them as her own juniors. ”

After Theodosius II's explanation, Pulgolia had nothing to say, but nodded at Luga and Andrew with a smile on her face. Luga and Andrew returned the salute very unnaturally, because his first image of the woman in front of him was very poor.

After less than five minutes, the waiter opened the door again, and in came a young girl, about in her early twenties, looking dignified, with a faint hint of charm and coldness, and the clothes were not luxurious, but after all, they were aristocratic clothes. She leaned forward to enter the door, and then Luga realized that she was holding a child of three or four years old.

"Heroia, come on, I'm just sending you!" Theodosius II said lightly, and pointed to the seat at the back of the table at the woman.

Horolia bowed slightly to Theodosius II, and sat down in the seat she had just pointed out without saying a word. Just looking at Pulgolia's expression, seeing that the woman's face was full of disdain and disdain, Luga didn't know why.

This woman is so familiar, Lu Jia secretly claimed to be holding it, because she had some similarities with the only Augustus Valentinian III of the Western Empire, but according to Lu Jia's original understanding of history, that Valentinian III did have a sister who was very disgraceful to the Flaviis family, presumably the woman in front of him who did not say a word.

"Alright, everyone's here! So, let's get started! Theodosius II was not looking good today, and he must have fulfilled a wish, he glanced at the waiter, and the waiter understood, turned around and went out, and soon, five maids came in and brought a lot of sumptuous food, but in two minutes the table was filled. There are all kinds of fine barbecues, cheesecakes, and of course, cleaned fruits, and wine that is always indispensable, in short, it looks very appetizing, Luga's stomach is quickly enough to be covered by the food in front of him, and he coos and protests, asking Luga to start as soon as possible, but the owner is Augustus, how could Luga make such a rude move, so he can only endure and wait for Augustus's order.

"Oh, what are you waiting for?" Theodosius II looked at his family and said with a smile: "Move! ”

Since he had Augustus's order, Luga no longer restrained, he pretended to be elegant and picked up a piece of roast meat, put it to his mouth and chewed it slowly, and he had to divide it into three or four times before eating it in one bite. There is no way, who calls the nobles always have so many stinky problems, dealing with them, being polite is a stepping stone.

"That's right!"

Everyone was half-satisfied, when Theodosius II interrupted everyone with a glass of wine. I saw him stand up and nod to his wife, Arya, and see that his wife smiled at him, presumably with permission.

"Then I'll be blunt." Theodosius II raised his glass and looked around at everyone seated, and said to Luga, "Luga, my close guard, let me toast you with a glass of wine." ”

Faced with Augustus's toast, how dare Luga disobey, he got up in a panic and picked up his wine glass and saluted Augustus in return.

"Luga, I have something to discuss with you, and I don't know if you will agree or not." Augustus was still a little difficult to say about this question, so Lu Jia was even more of a monk, and he was puzzled.

"But it doesn't hurt to say it!"

Luga replied without changing his face, but he thought to himself that he didn't want me to take over this Horolia.

"I want to take you as my adopted son!"
