Chapter 766: The Wedding
After explaining the expansion to the Holy See, Luga raised his head and looked at the middle of the stairs, where there was no one but the courtiers looking at each other with worried faces.
By this time Luga already knew what was going on, and he left Tenaia and Maximstow in Andrew's care, and the whole person turned back to the cheers of the citizens of Constantinople.
"Caesar, Caesar..."
Along the way, the guards kept turning their heads and saluting Luga.
"What about Liekinia? Liekinia! ”
As he walked, Luga asked the soldiers who were guarding and patrolling the area.
Following the guidance of the guards, Luga made his way to the top of the palace, and in the garden, Luga saw where they were resting.
Lee's face was really ugly, even if the maid could amplify her voice to remind Riekinia, she didn't let this stubborn woman's eyes tilt.
Luga looked at Licinia who deliberately turned her back to him, he was dull for a moment, as if thinking for a while, organizing the language, and then, unhurriedly, he came behind Licina.
"I seem to know exactly where your grievances are." Luga came to Lickinia and sat down opposite her, looking at Licinia with her eyes intently.
"Caesar, great Caesar, you are so unscrupulous to challenge everything!" Licinia sneered, and couldn't help but glance at Luga, "Dear brother, I see that you have forgotten your identity, Flavis is a nobleman, nobles and commoners cannot stand on the same position, I don't allow you to be so presumptuous, even if you are Augustus!" ”
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Luga didn't come to quarrel this time, "I'm just here to explain to you. ”
"Oh my God?" Likinia didn't seem to have any desire to talk to Luga, she spread her hands and looked like she was smiling, it was hard to imagine how much Lujia had hurt her by doing this, after all, she stubbornly believed that it was Luga's deliberate intention, just to hurt her, to take revenge for what she had done in the past. "Caesar, I have reminded you more than once that you are a nobleman and should keep your distance from the commoners, and it seems that you did not listen and disgraced the entire Flavis family."
Luga didn't pay much attention to Lickinia's reminder, and Luga smiled at Licina, and then waved at the maid.
The maid understood, then brought a jug of wine to the table, and carefully poured it for the two of them.
"You know, but I deliberately don't say it, I can see that." Luga raised her silver glass to Lickinia, and then drank the wine from the glass.
"It is said that Attila feasted the nobles in his palace, and the tableware used by the nobles was made of gold and silver, but Attila was very different from them." Luga held the wine glass and shook it in front of Liekinia, deliberately attracting Leekinia's attention.
"Oh, really?" Leekinia glanced at Luga, then reached out and picked up the wine glass, and also looked at Luga, his eyes were cold, but he didn't want to forgive Lujia at all, but he was very interested in the example given by Luga. "I don't believe that a barbarian can have more noble ideas than we do?"
"Of course not, not in the way you think." Luga picked up the wine glass, and the maid beside him hurriedly poured it full.
"Attila was never a man of riches and riches, of course, when it came to gold and silver he had, but he never skimped on his gold and silver." Luga shook the silver wine glass in his hand, smiled, and put the wine glass in his hand on the table with an expression consciously or unconsciously, "He used wooden wine glasses, wooden cutlery, like a poor man, to eat like a commoner, I originally thought that becoming a rich person could change everything, but I found that I understood a lot of truths." ”
Seeing Lickinia looking at Luga intently, Luga continued: "Speaking of which, I also understand that even if you use gold and silver plates, the food you eat still doesn't change, so what kind of plate you use to eat these foods doesn't make sense at all. ”
"What does this have to do with this?" Leekinia looked at Luga, with a slight dissatisfaction in her words. "That doesn't change the fact that he's a barbarian king, or that we're nobles, she's just pariahs, and that we eat the same utensils, and they can only eat bread mixed with sawdust."
"There is no distinction between high and low, just like a man who eats coarse and hard bread, armed with an iron sword and spear, he can still kill the nobles who eat the delicacies of the mountains and the sea, and wear silk and satin, and the death is fair."
"Ha, these words, the untouchable woman who left them for you to go." Lykinia finally lost her patience, and she stood up indignantly and prepared to leave.
"I'm talking so much, but there's only that!" At this time, Luga suddenly changed his words, causing Licinia to stop.
At this time, Luga raised his head and looked at Likinia and said with a serious face, "I will marry you as Augusta." ”
Hearing this, Lickinia turned her head suddenly, her face was clearly surprised, but in order to hide it, he quickly retracted his uncompetitive expression and replaced it with a sneer, "Oh, I don't believe it, there won't be any conditions here, I guess, it's a warning to me not to act rashly against that untouchable woman and that bastard child?" ”
"I'm going to marry Tenaia too, and make her Augusta too." Luga said this very calmly, and he was like a calm water, which could not be shaken by any violent storm.
"What?"
Leekinia's eyes widened, her eyes were clearly surprised, more angry, she never expected Luga to say that, but after thinking about what Luga said at that time, she suddenly understood.
Whether it is the use of gold and silver tableware, or wooden tableware, it will not affect the taste of the food, compared to Tenaia, Lickinia is the food served by gold and silver tableware, and Tenaia is the opposite.
"You, you!" Likinia pointed at Luga, her anger made her body fluctuate, "You actually put me in the same category as that untouchable woman, yes, yes, I forgot, you were also born untouchable, my father adopted you as an adopted son, I thought you would be able to take off the dirty cloak of the untouchable, but you didn't think so, on the contrary, you are still deeply proud of that garment, damn, damn, why, why did you choose you as Augustus, damn, damn, damn!" ”
Lykinia's lips trembled with rage, and Luga sat there, letting her vent her anger at will.
"It's a fact you can't change." Luga spoke slowly, his voice as heavy as a bell, and he was full of heart, "There are only two paths you can choose in front of you, one, marry me and become Augusta, and I will defend your noble dignity and the purity of the Flavis bloodline to the death, of course, provided that you recognize the status of Tenaea." Second, you can choose to refuse, then I should think carefully about your divorce from Valentinian, I don't guarantee that I will not send you back to Ravenna, so that you can get back on track and continue to maintain stability in Rome. ”
"You're threatening me." Leekinia glared fiercely at Luga.
"You can think so, my sister, or my wife." Luga smiled, but there was a hint of fierceness in his smile. "I advise you not to have any thoughts that you should not have, after all, you look up, Constantinople, and the whole of Rome in the east, are my subordinates, my subjects, and I, the only orthodox Augustus of Rome, my will, will be the supreme law!"
