In the garden on the top floor of the interior of Flavi Grand, Andrew felt like a world away from home when he re-stepped onto this familiar path.

After all, he had never faced death at that time, and perhaps after escaping the danger, the whole person could be considered to be more relaxed, and the aftermath of the catastrophe that escaped under extreme panic made Andrew extremely cautious.

The sudden summoning of Luga really shocked Andrew, who was now like a frightened bird, and had no courage at all.

Stepping on the hard stone slabs of the Flavi Palace again, Andrew no longer wanted to be so fearless as he once was, and he began to become timid.

He had been very eager to be greeted and praised by the courtiers and court attendants who came and went, but now he did not dare, he was very afraid that his name would be called, as if he had promised that he would be taken away the next moment.

Escorted by four guards, Andrew arrived at the garden at the top of the palace, where he only saw a dozen attendants cooperating with each other to prune the branches and leaves of various flowers so that they could grow healthily.

Passing by them, Andrew couldn't help but wonder, after all, this should have been Luga's own work, but now it was the waiter who was doing it, which was completely inconsistent with Luga's style.

"Looks like you're very confused about their actions."

Such words interrupted Andrew's musings, and he came back to his senses, and hurriedly turned his head to see that it was Luga.

He was now standing in the middle of the garden, where a small bed was placed, on which Luga was lying, and Malenius was helping Luga to arrange the quilt on his legs so that he could wrap his feet well.

"Kai...... Caesar...... I ......"

Looking at Luga, Andrew was speechless for a while, not knowing how to talk to Luga, after all, Luga must have known everything Andrew did thoroughly.

It's like when John. Antiochus said: You are a disloyal fellow, you have betrayed the will of Augustus, at least some of the time, you have such thoughts and corresponding actions, no matter how big or small, this is a sign of disloyalty, and you should be punished.

"You deserve to be punished!"

These words kept echoing in Andrew's heart, like a stone statue carver, wielding an axe and chisel to carve these words into his bones, becoming an existence that he feared.

Next to Luga was a table made of white marble, on which were placed a flask and two glasses, and an inconspicuous-looking box.

"Long time no see, my old friend!" Luga said lightly, and lay on the bed and looked at Andrew with a smile, his smile was still as friendly as usual, but the other party couldn't laugh at all.

Andrew has a ghost in his heart, and he is evasive of Luga's eyes when he looks at him, for fear that Luga will become an all-powerful prophet and know all of Andrew's thoughts in an instant when his eyes meet.

"Why do you want to keep your head down?" Looking at Andrew's nervous appearance, Luga couldn't help frowning, "Could it be that the teacher I hired was not good for Golia?" ”

"No, Caesar, the teacher, to Golia, very well, just as Sebastianus did to Adernus."

"Could it be that Quinta is not satisfied with the villa I arranged, and complains about something in your ear?" Luga gradually retracted his smile, frowned, looked at Andrew, and then asked.

"No, Caesar, Quinta is grateful to Dade for your arrangement, and she often tells me that she must thank you."

"That's very strange, my old friend!" Luga said, slowly reaching out his hand, which frightened Andrew's whole shoulder.

It is impossible for Luga not to see such an obvious move, but Luga is still unfazed, but he is not frightened by Andrew's surprise.

"What's wrong? My friend? Luga looked at Andrew suspiciously, "You don't look good, isn't there something uncomfortable?" ”

"No, no! I'm fine, I'm fine, Luga, no, Caesar, I'm fine, I'm fine. ”

Andrew had become incoherent, his face had turned pale, and he didn't know what to do, how to deal with the situation in front of him.

Facing Luga's eyes, Andrew no longer saw just doubts, there was already another thing in these eyes, judgment!

Yes, you deserve to be punished for the judgment of the guy who has a ghost in his heart! Again, the words rang in Andrew's ears.

Andrew's breathing became very rapid, he tried his best to hold his breath, trying to suppress his inner uneasiness, and tried to squeeze out a smile at Luga, nodded and said, "Yes, Caesar, I am very good!" ”

"That's good!" Luga couldn't help nodding, turned his head sideways and slowly picked up a silver glass full of wine on the table, and then said to Andrew: "This time I called you, mainly to catch up with you, after all, we haven't seen each other for a long time, and remember how inseparable we were at the beginning." ”

"Yes, yes, Caesar." Andrew couldn't stop nodding.

Luga didn't respond, but drank all the wine in the glass, then shook his head, and said dejectedly: "This thing, the Romans regard it as life, and even the gods, whether it is a nobleman or a commoner, will try their best to drink a glass every day, even if it is a bad wine, people say that this thing has incredible magic, but I have drunk so much Edessa wine, and there is a huge open-air pool in total, but look at me, I am so weak, all miracles have not worked, Was it just because I drank a sip of river water mixed with the blood of savages? ”

"I'm sorry, Caesar." Andrew crossed his hands over his chest, his head hung down, and he whispered an apology to Luga.

"It's not your fault, my old friend." Luga sighed softly, then slowly placed the cup on the stone table.

"I have to say, I have something to show you, my friend." Luga said, glancing at the seat on the other side of the stone table, then at Andrew and said, "Come, my friend, sit there, it's been a long time since we've sat together to catch up, and think about the happiest times when we had nothing." ”

Andrew hesitated for a moment, but decided to go to the seat and sit down, at which point Malenius stepped forward and helped Andrew pour a glass of wine.

"You, I, Marenius. We are all old friends who are familiar with each other, and we are also comrades who fought together on the battlefield, and I must thank God for his kindness that brought us together. ”

After saying that, Luga pointed to the box and said to Malenius, "Open it! ”

Before Malenius opened the box, Luga said to Andrew, "This is a treasure that Berialiu has brought me from afar, and as my old friend, Andrew, you should also witness this moment with me." ”

"Thank you, Caesar!"

The box was slowly opened, and Andrew couldn't help but gasp when he saw the columns inside, because inside the box, there was a human head of Cicedes.

"You should be familiar with it, Andrew!" Luga said slowly, but every word was like a punch, slamming Andrew in the chest.
