"Likenia!"

Luga called to Licina, only to see him get up, crouch down a few steps in front of Licina, his eyes staring directly at Licina, "You must be hiding something from me, but you are afraid that if you don't tell me, it will lead to even greater disagreement." ”

"Silence is seen as weakness!"

In the face of Luga's almost judgmental gaze, Liquinia did not have the slightest cowardice, her eyes were full of determination, and she did not even feel that her words would offend the Augustus who stood up from the blood in front of her.

"You know it's offensive to me."

"But this is me, your protection!" Leekinia's eyes shone with a faint glow.

"I understand, I understand, I can understand all your thoughts right now." Luga turned back, "If I die, neither you nor Flavis will be spared, and you are as dependent on me as you were on your father Theodosius. ”

"Good, good!" Richinia stubbornly turned her head, "At least you can tell where you are, Caesar." You are like a tree, standing on the fertile soil of the Flavi Palace in Constantinople, you are flourishing and fruitful. ”

"Are you talking about Yudoria and Leo?"

"Yes, so to speak, including Adernus, who is also your child."

"I never thought you'd be so generous." Hearing this, Luga couldn't help but smile, "I always thought that the girls of the noble family had no one else in their eyes, and even more so as a woman under the knee of Augustus, but you have succeeded in overturning my opinion, at least for Adnus, you always surprise me. ”

Lickinia spread out her hand, and her expression showed a completely indifferent look, "At least you should understand that the girls of noble families are stronger, because we have accepted everything that mortals have not accepted. ”

"Let me guess, it's gold in your veins?"

"Hehehe!" Liekinia covered her mouth, but couldn't hide her laughter, "You're funny, Caesar. ”

At the Golden Horn in Constantinople, Cicedes, under the cover of night, hurriedly boarded the returning ships, and they were to leave the Golden Horn into the Aegean Sea, and along the western coast of Asia Minor, to Cassus in the south of Cappadocia, from where they landed and returned to Ankara along the Valician Avenue, where they took up their posts and coordinated all this.

The guards lowered the chains, and the dozen or so ships where Cassetus was located slowly sailed out of the Golden Horn.

"Andrew is a complete idiot!" Standing on the bow of the ship, Sicedes looked at the darkness in front of him and couldn't help but shake his head and sighed: "He is too hesitant, there is no decisive decision that a person who can do great things should have, he is so stupid, even naïve to think that I urgently need his strength, he is just a pawn, playing a role in advancing and retreating in the game, but he thinks too highly of himself, and even puts himself on an equal footing with me, so he invites death, poor fellow." ”

For Andrew was John. Although Sicedes knew about the arrest of Antioch with his troops, it was also to hasten his intention to leave Constantinople, after all, it was slowly operating under the secret impetus of Licina, and an invisible bloody storm was slowly unfolding like the curtain of the opening of a play.

"The Palazzo Flavi is a splendid artifact that records the splendor of the Greeks since Constantine." Licinia poured a glass of wine and handed it to Luga, then poured herself a glass, "But as you can see Caesar, this palace is far more magnificent than that of Rome, and this is where Augustus should live." ”

"As Augustus, building palaces seems to have been something that Caesar would have done in all his years."

"After all, no one lives forever, Caesar." Licchia said meaningfully: "As Augustus, he always wanted something that would be remembered by future generations, such as the triumphal arch, the memorial column, and even his statue, to tell posterity about his life or a glorious fragment." ”

Lyquinia said this, and sighed softly, "Flavi Palace is like a castle to protect you, you are like a tree, a god, worshipped by the world, and authority is always intimidating the world, but Caesar you must not forget, there are as many killers as there are lovers, they hide in the shadows, lick the blade, want to cut your throat, drink your blood. ”

"Presumptuous!"

"Forgive me, Caesar." Lickinia looked at Luga with a serious face, "I'm very worried about your body, very worried, after all, the children are still young. ”

"I'll live well!" Luga looked at Licinia with a wry smile, and he could see that Queenia's face was full of worry, after all, he had become the head of the most prominent family of the moment, the Augustus of the Empire.

"I can understand your concerns, after all, I bleed Flavies during the attack on Constantinople, after all, anything could have touched the two opposing sides to go on a killing spree." Luga said, reaching out and placing her hand on the back of Riekinia's hand, gently stroking it as a reassuring gesture.

"This is a tragedy, and all internal turmoil has endless tragedies."

"I'm more afraid of the next time than the last, Caesar." Likinia reached out and picked up Luga's hand and pressed it tightly against her face, kissing it from time to time, "I hope you can understand everything I have done for you, everything I have done for Flavis. A new storm is brewing, and we must take the initiative in it. ”

"I understand." Luga reached out and put his hands on Licina's face, "We must keep our eyes open to see who is hostile among the nobles and courtiers. ”

"I'll eradicate some of this for you!" Leekinia looked at Luga steadfastly, as if she saw an unimaginable flame in her autumn-like eyes. What is it that makes her so determined, so determined that she is unkind.

"Oh my God, you look horrible right now." Luga sighed, "You must have done something to say that." ”

In response to Luga's inquiry, Liekinia only smiled, but her smile was as cold as a frozen river, and from time to time a biting cold wind blew.

"In order to maintain the absolute rule of Caesar and the noble Flavius family over Rome and Constantinople, we must get rid of the dissidents of Flavis and Caesar!" John. Antioch looked at the crowd behind him, and he whispered, looking back at the fellows who had been given the title of man.

They were all close to Sicedes, especially inside Constantinople, in the absence of Augustus.
