Kessel was unhappy, at least after boarding the ship, his face was gloomy, even to the officials who saw him off, but only forced a smile.

It is clear that the Vandals have to pay the price they deserve for their survival, which shows that this is not the time for them to do whatever they want.

As the old saying goes: to be in Rome you should act like the Romans, and to follow the rules laid down by the Romans in Roman soil.

Flavis. Luga's decisive disposition really impressed the courtiers who were present to witness all this, and their eyes were full of surprise and adoration when they looked at Luga.

Luga disagreed, after all, an Augustus was equivalent to a demigod, and it made sense to receive praise and worship.

"Oh, I don't think I'm going to be able to move on to the rest of the matter." Lu Jia sat lazily on the throne and stretched, then got up and walked in, waved at the courtiers in the audience, and signaled that they could leave.

Along the way, Luga walked towards the top garden of the palace, where there were still many flowers and plants to take care of, although these so-called menial tasks were a matter of concern for the subordinates.

Maybe taking care of the flowers and plants can relieve the sorrow in your heart, after all, it is really painful to press a person who is used to running around in a fixed seat, even if it is a throne, there will be a very painful adaptation process.

Sitting in the garden while cutting the leaves of the flowers and plants, while sipping the wine from Edessa, Luga relieved himself from exhaustion and gave his ears a little rest after listening to various words all day.

It must be said that as the Augustus of Eastern Rome, especially the Greek Barcelus, Luca had begun to slowly learn and master the Greek language, although he was not yet fluent and even had a heavy nasal voice.

He specially called Tenaia and Adernus, the mother and son have not been out much since they were brought here, Tenaia seems to have lost the liveliness of the past, and a series of tragedies have made this woman who should be lively lose her agility.

The bitterness and torture made her begin to become wooden, and gradually became more and more autistic, and this behavior gradually affected her son, so that the two of them sat there completely without a sense of home, and after all this time, Adenus looked at Luga with a strange feeling in his eyes.

"He's not fit to be Augustus." Luga stood there building flowers and plants, and although his back was to the mother and son, Luga was constantly watching Adernus's every move, and he was overguarded, like a hedgehog, hiding under his spiky skin, not wanting anyone's sympathy, nor wanting to sympathize with anyone.

Luga glanced at the maid, and the maid understood, and reached out to take Adenus' hand, but she didn't expect Adernus to withdraw his hand as if he was frightened, and then hid in Tenea's arms.

"What are you doing?" Seeing this, Tenaia hugged Adenus tightly, then raised her head and glared at the maid and asked sharply, so frightened that the maid hurriedly lowered her head.

"That's enough, Tenea!" Seeing that the situation was not good, Luga hurriedly turned around and interrupted Tenaia, "This is what I ordered!" ”

"Why?"

"We need to talk privately, and in the absence of this child, believe me, Adernus will be fine under their care and nothing will happen."

Listening to Luga's persuasion, Tenaia let go of the letter suspiciously, and pushed Adnus, who had repeatedly tried to hide in her arms, out.

Adernus was still struggling, but seeing that his mother and his indifferent father were no longer willing to "protect" him, he was really unable to resist the pull of several maids, and was taken away from Tenaia's arms.

"Tenea, your world has become smaller!" Luga said with concern, and unhurriedly came to Tenea's side, and the waiter brought a stool for Luga to sit down.

"I've lost so much, Luga." Tenaia lowered her head, her hands were clasped between her thighs, she still didn't worry about Adnus, even so, she still looked towards Adnus from time to time, watching Adnus surrounded by a group of maids, he stood in the middle so nervous, like an unprotected chick who couldn't do anything under the wind and rain. "Adnus is my son, and he is my everything, yes, the last relative."

"What about me?"

"You're not!" Tenaia turned her head to look at Luga, her eyes were cold, as if the cold winter of the month of Nala, what kind of life had smoothed out Tenaiya's heart, Luga couldn't think about it here.

"Are you still blaming me?"

"You know there's no point in saying that, it's something that's been happening for a long time." Tenaia said, and couldn't help but sigh softly, "I can't blame you for anything, Caesar, well, it's completely different from when you were in Genoa, you're not like you anymore, it's a world of difference!" ”

In the face of Tenaia's reproach, Lu Jia was naturally angry, he was very dissatisfied, and then retorted: "Yes, it is true that separation should not be, but without years of hard work, there will be no current life at all." Don't you understand, Tenea? ”

"No, I can't understand, I can't understand!" Tenaia glared at Luga, tears gradually welling up in her eyes, "Look at Adnus, this poor boy, he hasn't stepped out of the house you arranged for so many years, his world is only so big, he only knows that there are terrifying monsters outside the door, but in reality there is nothing. It's all house arrest, for Adenus, it's the same for me. ”

Tenaia couldn't help but sob, turned her head away, and couldn't bear to look into Luga's eyes, "You have always been tough, you think that all problems have to be shouldered by yourself, you think you can arrange everything, everyone, whether it is family or comrades-in-arms, as long as you follow the steps to have the so-called good life, Caesar, Caesar, you are not God, you are just a person, a person I have seen and loved!" ”

Luga was silent, and Caesar's scream slammed into his chest like a punch.

Luga didn't know whether to use the majesty of Augustus, who was already proficient, and then lashed out, angrily accusing Tenaia of not knowing the hard work of good people, or secretly thinking about what was wrong.

Luga was only puzzled, he could not understand why the good life that the world longed for and disdained to pursue was not worth mentioning in front of Tenaia, she was disdainful of high status, she did not like such carefreeness, at least for now.

"Tenaia!" Lu Jia stroked his forehead and smiled helplessly, his smile revealed a lot of tiredness, "What do you want, what else can I not give you, you say, what else can I compensate you for, I can satisfy you, I used to be soberly aware that I can't give you anything, and I don't even have the ability to protect you, but now I can, you understand that I haven't forgotten you, and I can't give up on you!" ”

"I want you!" Tenaia's gaze was firm, "I want you!" ”
