Chapter 864: Little Leo's Roman World
The two women hugged each other tightly and wept with joy,
The brief and heartwarming meeting soon ended, and it was at this point that Lickinia suddenly realized that it was only herself and Yudoria.
But there were only two of them, which inevitably made the always thoughtful Leekinia see a clue, at least her attention was not only on her daughter.
"What about Caesar?" Puzzled, Liechia hurriedly turned her head to look at Malenius, who was not far away, and asked him, "Is Caesar hiding and not wanting to disturb the two of us?" ”
Malenius was momentarily speechless, he didn't know how to answer Augusta Licchinia's question, after all, Lugar didn't come back with them.
"Well, madam, listen to me......" said Malenius, wringing his fingers, to Licchia in a slurming voice, "something has gone wrong. ”
"What?" Liquinia frowned, and it was not difficult to see that she was angry that Malenius had not fulfilled his duty to protect Augustus well, "Isn't it your duty to defend Caesar?" Why is Yudoria the only one back? ”
"Yes, ma'am, yes." Malenius nodded repeatedly, his face embarrassed, looking very entangled and unable to answer, "This is a very difficult question to answer, ma'am. ”
Malenius explained, only to see him take out a letter from his pocket hidden in his armor, and then took two steps forward and handed it to Licchinia: "This is the letter that Caesar ordered me to send, and Caesar gave it to me and told my wife that she would understand when she saw it." ”
Liekinia looked at the letter, her face gloomy and very unpleasant, and then she reached out and grabbed the letter in Malenius' hand.
Liequinia quickly opened the letter in front of Malenius on the ground, and her movement was so loud that her dissatisfaction could be seen from the side.
Her eyes widened, she nodded, and flipped up and down the small paper, not knowing what kind of magic it had to make the expression on the face of a woman like Augusta, who had always been proud, change so much.
The expression on her face was anger, and the anger gradually subsided, then doubt, then sadness, and then frustration.
"He, he ......" Liekinia's lips trembled, and the corners of her eyes were once again overflowing with tears, like the flood that burst the embankment, and she choked several times, and the anger in her heart condensed into sadness, and the sadness caused the thoughts to surge, and they pressed heavily on her heart, and gagged her mouth, so that she wanted to say something but could not say it.
Malenius stood beside her, looking at her dryly, lest there be no words of comfort to ease the haughty woman.
What kind of pain needs to be solved by herself, after all, she is such a woman who is unwilling to bow her head.
"Why would he do that?" Holding the letter, Liechia raised her head and looked at Malenius, who knew Augusta's anger, so he hurriedly lowered his head and did not dare to meet Liginia.
Seeing that Malenius did not answer, naturally she did not know the specific situation, Liquinia held back her tears, and did not let it continue to flow, she bit her lip tightly, but her eyes kept staring at the parchment letter, maybe she was still not sure whether it was Luga's own handwriting.
Marenius wondered what the paper was about, but remembered that Luga had a solemn face when he handed it to him, and that it was so similar to Lichia now.
Likinia couldn't help but sobbed quietly, afraid that the sadness would come to her heart, and her heart would be so restless that her thoughts would surge, and all the good and bad, joyful and sad would be twisted into a knot, and she would be so blocked in her heart that she couldn't spit it it out or swallow it.
"Well, I already know."
Likinia whispered with pretended composure, carefully folding the parchment letter in her hand and placing it in the pocket of her robe.
"There's nothing to do with you here, Lord Marennius." Leekinia looked up and said lightly, she seemed so calm, as if she was not touched by the difference in the slightest.
Before Malenius could reply, Lychia turned and took her daughter Eudoria by the hand and walked slowly into the gates of the Flavi Palace, which looked like a castle in front of her.
Watching the gate slowly close, Malenius still stood in place, he didn't know what to do next, when faced with the last task entrusted to him by Luga, who was determined to die, he just knew that he should do his best to complete it, but for some reason, when he finally came to the door of the Flavi Palace, he did not feel any joy that he had faithfully fulfilled Luga's entrustment, on the contrary, endless loss, after all, there was no new task after again.
Entering the Flavi Palace, Lickinia did not get into the carriage to enter the inner palace, but slowly walked forward with Yudoria.
"Child, when you first arrived, you want to be familiar with everything in front of you, after all, this place will be your home from now on."
Likinia whispered to Yudoria, who was a child, but she could hear the trembling in her mother's tone, and she turned her head to see her mother, Likinia, walking away, secretly wiping away the tears that kept flowing from her eyes.
"Why are you crying, my mother?" Yudoria was a little puzzled, although she knew that she was sent by Luga, although this guy who had not met a few times gave herself a good impression, but all the new things in front of her diluted, she may have been touched and impacted by the beauty of the new things for a while, and she couldn't raise her sad emotions for a while, after all, she didn't know the truth of the matter yet.
But there was no need to worry about that, after all, she had time to explore on her own or wait for her mother to tell her in person.
Seeing her mother sad, Yudoria couldn't raise her interest in appreciating the palace, so she put all her attention on her mother, and walked to the inner palace step by step.
Liquinia took Yudoria back to her bedchamber, where she saw her younger brother, who was only a few years old.
Little Leo sat on the bed, staring at Udoria with innocent eyes, the sister he had never met, with a dull expression, as if he had been frightened.
Yudoria's eyes widened, and such a brother and sister, who were ten years apart, were surprised that each other looked so similar to herself, because they had the same father.
Leo, in particular, resembles his father, Luga, and combines almost all the best of Luga and Lickinia.
"My child!" Liquinia looked at Leo, she could no longer hold back the emotions in her heart, she pounced, hugged the young Leo tightly, and the tears she held back were gushing out and falling down her cheeks.
"In the future, only our mother and son will depend on each other!" Lyquinia couldn't stop sobbing and pulled Yudoria into her arms, and the three of them hugged each other tightly and didn't separate for a long time.
