"Liequinia's intentions are clear at the moment." Luga secretly told himself in his heart, "Although I can't guess what Liekinia is targeting me for, I can't even know which side of the woman in front of me is real." ”

Thinking about it, Luga couldn't think of anything,

"Too young at all." Luga was full of emotion, and after doing enough psychological struggle, Luga finally stepped forward and put his hand on Likinia's shoulder, and said to her: "Don't worry, as long as I am here, I will never let Yudoria have an accident." ”

As soon as these words came out, I saw Lickinia raise her head, the tears stained the makeup on her face, and the hazy tears were clearly surprise. Whether or not this is Luga's biological child as Lickinia said, at least Luga can see from Lickinia's eyes that she is sincere about this child.

"I swear, I promise you." Luga smiled and involuntarily reached out to stroke Licina's face, he didn't know how to comfort the woman, but such an action made Licinia look surprised. But soon, the surprise on Liequinia's face was filled with a smile full of happiness, and she reached out to clasp Luga's hand in her face, as if she had never been so happy.

Walking out of Liekinia's room, Luga always felt bad in her heart. He began to feel uneasy, ashamed of his indifference, and always felt that he had to do something. But relying on his current self has no ability to change anything, he began to think hard.

"I need a helper." Luga said to herself. Soon, he thought of Aetius, the first person who could help him.

"But, but." Luga quickly shook his head, after all, he was now Luga's opponent, he couldn't be generous enough to respond to Luga's needs, especially asking for an alliance with Aetius at such a weak time, that would be too funny, yes, Aetius would definitely take this as a laughing stock and reject Luga fiercely. This is a thing that makes Luga feel embarrassed, if this is really the case, I am afraid that in front of Aetius, Luga will not be able to raise his head in his life.

Do you want to ask the patriarchs? I'm afraid that if Remitius and his colleagues know about it in the Senate, I'm afraid it will embarrass Luga even more.

In this advance and retreat, I saw Luga struggling, what to do, what to do.

"Hi Luga, so you're here."

This cold sound made Luga jump on the spot in fright, he came back to his senses and looked at it, it turned out to be Aetius, Aetius looked at him with a puzzled expression, and then asked Luga with an apologetic smile: "What's the matter, Luga, it seems that I seem to be scared of you." ”

"Oh, no, no, no, No, Lord Aetius, there is no such thing." Luga waved his hand again and again, smiling and nodding at Aetius.

"Oh, then I'll leave, so as not to disturb you, Lord Luga." Aetius smiled and nodded at Luga, then turned to leave.

"Uh, Lord Aetius." After thinking about it for a long time, Luga was afraid that he would let Aetius run away, and he had to find some topics, especially the very unreliable idea that he had come up with. It's an opportunity to have no one around now, and if you go to a crowded place, I'm afraid

"Why, Lord Luga." Aetius turned his head, frowned, looked at Luga, and continued, "Do you have something to do with me?" ”

"Oh, oh, yes, yes." Luga didn't know where to start for a while, scratching his ears and cheeks and couldn't think of a feasible topic. Seeing that Aetius was a little impatient, Luga hurriedly continued: "Hey, Your Excellency, today, well, at today's banquet, how did you eat?" I mean, are you full? ”

"Oh, what's that topic?" Aetius smiled and said to Luga, "Your Excellency, the way you chat, well, is really special, it seems that you are not a good orator, and this should not be, because you can't persuade those old fellows to move their hearts. ”

"Oh, yes, yes, Lord Aetius, it's really bad." Luga touched his nose and slurred.

"What, Lord Luga?" Aetius naturally saw Luga's restraint at this time, he stepped forward and asked Luga as if he were probing: "Why, could it be that you have encountered some trouble, or that you have discovered some ulterior secret of Augusta?" ”

"Secret? Oh, how could it be, it's such a funny joke! Luga smiled awkwardly, then took a deep breath, as if fully prepared, and said to Aetius, "Aetius, I have a reluctant request. ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say it." Aetius had a straight expression, as if he wanted to listen carefully.

"I, it's our strategic positioning that we want to take to the next level." Luga wanted to tactfully explain the problem to Aetius, but he was still too embarrassed to say it bluntly.

"You've confused me by asking, Lord Luga." Aetius didn't understand what Luga meant, and explained to Luga with a smile.

"Well, that's it." Luga took another deep breath and spat it out heavily, and he continued, "I want to make a political alliance with you, yes, we can be allies. In the political and military spheres of the Western Empire, we can take care of each other, yes, can you agree? ”

"Alliance? Ha, interesting! ”

Aetius, apparently aware of Luga's seriousness, began to restrain the smile on his face and replace it with seriousness, a very deliberate question.

"Can you tell us why? Lord Luja. Aetius said to Luga, "Alliances are a matter of contract, and they are a very serious matter, and you see, Lord Luga, that this is not like a children's game. ”

"I think it clearly, Lord Aetius." Lu Jia said solemnly: "Looking at the entire Western Empire, Your Excellency Aetius, your strength is unparalleled, and now the relationship between my ability and the Purple Chamber, Your Excellency is afraid to see it." What's more, we are now made archons by Augusta, and I think that as long as the two of us join forces, we can solve many things in the empire. ”

"Well, it's tempting indeed." Aetius thought for a moment and nodded and continued, "But this matter, let me think about it, okay?" ”

"How?" Speaking his thoughts, Luga felt that a stone in his heart had finally landed, and now his heart was not beating, and he spoke a lot more neatly. "Yes, after all, this is a very important issue to consider, so can you guarantee when to give me an answer?"

"In two weeks." "I may need to discuss it and weigh the stakes so that it can be done," Aetius said. ”

"Well, I'll wait for your reply." Luga said, turning back and slowly walking down the stairs.

"What the hell is this guy thinking?" Looking at Luga's distant back, Aetius thought to himself.
