Chapter 14: The Stubbornness of Calabis (Part II)

The dinner party in Prima was open, the whole artificial lake was lit up like stars, the two brothers Luculas and Marcus had long faded out of the political scene of the city of Rome, this time it was their high-profile comeback "full fire", the whole tree-lined and large dining room was crowded with dignitaries and men, many people drank in beautifully carved boats on the surface of the lake, and the high slaves in silk bought from the East were brought in by Domuja to play harps and flutes, and dance, while Kelly brought another gang with them, holding copper hooks, Standing by the lake, because people are constantly falling into the water due to intoxication, this is when the copper hook comes in handy.

Many noblewomen and celebrities competed for beauty, and they all set their eyes on the tuna that had abandoned his wife, including his property, but they sang and talked about the whole villa, but they couldn't find the figure of the triumphant general, only saw the armed slave with a serious expression standing in front of the independent study, and they were only afraid to move.

In front of the floor-to-ceiling citron wood bookcase in the study, Lucuras stood with Crassus with a cheerful expression and Caesar with his face behind his back, Luculas stood in front of the window with his shoulders crossed and Dmetrius with a respectful smile at the entrance of the study.

"Did your master not hesitate to throw away the reputation of a soldier for the sake of the great triumph, and spend money to give me a private gift?" Lucuras said with a smile, visibly happy.

"Yes, I have to thank you for your generosity with Calabis, I didn't make the delivery of this sword at the public banquet, and I have already done it with money." In the face of the other party's ridicule, Dmitrius did not have any counter-remarks, and he did not want to and could not reverse the face of Kuras now. That's the game. He understands it perfectly.

"Pompey is about to die. According to your practice, do you want to switch to someone else because of the future? Luculas has not forgotten the defection of the former Jews.

"No, Your Excellency the Admiral is a master worthy of my end-of-life efforts." Demetrius replied crisply.

Lucuras sneered, handed the sword to the Jew, and added, "I heard that your master was sick with terrible blood during his campaign in Asia Minor?" Seeing the Jew nod, Luculas said, "I have something in my kitchen called a civet." You can cure this disease, and when your master returns to Rome, you may wish to ask him to send someone to me. In addition, if there is a shortage of purple robes for the triumphal ceremony, you can also come to my help, there is a room in the Villa Prima, which is full of Phoenician purple robes, and there are as many as a hundred pieces, which can be lent out at any time. Although your master borrowed a few hundred talents from me when he cleared the pirates before, he did not pay them back. But I'm still willing to believe in his debt credit. ”

Demetrius maintained a cold sense of gratitude, and said a few polite words. Then he took his sword and left in embarrassment.

Seeing each other's backs, Lucuras felt that his long-stagnant chest qi had been evacuated a lot, and he and Crassus couldn't help laughing, so they clapped their hands, "Everyone, enjoy the banquet!" Then he came to Calabis and whispered, "Is your woman Porti here?" ”

"I brought her to see the scene, but she didn't sit at the table and was with Domu.

Luculas patted Calabis on the shoulder: "Go out with me, and I will introduce you to everyone present, about your outstanding combat exploits, and let all Rome see the heroes from Asia Minor."

When the Lord and Calabis left for a while, Potty hung his head and stood in a corner of the study, Crassus on the opposite side turned his head, and the expressionless goldfish eyes looked at her coldly, which couldn't help but make Potty's hands tremble, and then Crassus nodded, signaling Potty to move forward, and the bewitching Printhia next to him laughed and brought Crassus a glass of wine, while Caesar tilted his head and walked out as if he didn't see anything

"Do you know that you are in a concubinage relationship now?" Crassus asked Printhia to pick at her nails and ask nonchalantly about Potty.

Potty nodded.

"Speaking of beautiful slave girls seems to bring back memories of my youth." Crassus took a sip of wine and placed the golden cup on the small table, "My father and brother, both died in the turmoil of that year, at the hands of the two thugs, Marius and Qinna, and I was wanted, and I fled with three friends and ten slaves to a cave near the sea in Spain, where the lord hid me, and then, seeing that my friend and I were young and vigorous, sent two slender and beautiful Spanish slave girls to the cave for our amusement. Then he stared at Potty, "To tell you the truth, I was infatuated with the unrestrainedness, the passion, and the perfect carcass of those two slave girls, and I enjoyed them with my friends for a long time, and I still have some attachment to them - but I know that I have the blood of the Roman nobility in my veins, and as soon as the situation has calmed down, I will leave them and marry the wife of the eldest brother, which is called Familia, I don't know if you understand?" ”

Frightened of Crassus in front of him, Potty nodded and shook his head again.

"Dear Lord Crassus, it is useless for you to tell her this, in my opinion this kind of slave girl is no different from the dusty women of the streets of Tuscany, who constantly seduce men to pay for her with their flattery, and put on a disdain for the gifts of men's painstaking efforts, to hollow out the men of the world, today they want pets like rabbits, tomorrow they have to ask for beautiful jewelry, and then they have expensive furniture, apartments, and now they still occupy the position of the mistress of Calabis." Principia clinged to Crassus's back, her eyes fixed on the restless Potti, and said, "Well, this woman probably thinks that if she has bore a son and a daughter for a man, she will be on an equal footing with other Roman women." ”

Crassus waved his hand a little unhappily and threatened: "After all, the children are all the blood and blood of Calabis, so don't care." Hey, woman, what Calabis needs is a fairly marriage, he is now an upstart knight with a golden ring, and I have decided the choice of the woman for him, as long as there is this marriage, Calabis can be prosperous. As for you woman, your treatment must be much better than the two slave girls I have met, and the status of your son and daughter will be recognized by Familia, and even I can consider marrying them to the children of the noble lintel now, and when you die in the future, you can also enter the cemetery owned by Familia of Calabis. ”

"You are so lucky, a man born as a slave girl, I am surprised that a character like His Excellency Crassus would be so tolerant of you to such an extent, it can be seen how much he appreciates your man?" When Princia said this, she couldn't help but laugh amorously.

"Are you two waiting for my answer?" Potty said softly. (To be continued......)
