Turinus bowed his head in silence, and after a while he laughed, "I regret it, I regret it greatly, if I could have abandoned my inert luck and listened to Curio's advice, and before your father's main army entered southern Gaul, I would join forces with Antony to attack the city of Rome and exterminate all your lowly families." ”

"Yes, it's great to say that, Turinus, I'm sorry, you failed, but don't feel guilty either, because the price you paid is heavy enough." Leo replied with his head bowed in pain, and then he looked up and said to his former friend on the other side of the bar, "That's it, farewell, Turinus." ”

"Is that all? Is that all? That's how you treat your friends, you son of a prostitute and a slave! Turinus shouted angrily, and the fire flashed to the ground, and it was two Medetian warriors who shook the Songming Dynasty iron fence in their hands, and Turinus screamed, like a frightened beast, retreated a few steps, hid in the darkness, and howled at Leo's back a few times, and then the fire faded away, leaving Turinus behind the night and the iron fence.

When Leo reached the outside of the dungeon, it was already dawn, and he took off his coarse cloth cloak outside, revealing his fine toga robes, and surrounded by his servants and guards, like the most ordinary nobles of Rome, through the bustling crowds, streets, and temples, and at last to the high priest's residence, where his father sat at the dining table, on which was his favorite olive oil plum.

"Father, I'm back." When you sit down. Leo asked Ann to speak.

"Hmm. Your breakfast is ready. Forthright I will return with you to Plema, and visit your mother, and persuade and persuade your sister, and in the evening there will be a small private banquet for the care of your magistrate during his office, and I will invoke to you some of the able knights. The father did not look strange at all, and naturally pushed his son's plate over, and then wiped his cheeks and lips with a napkin.

"Yes. Father. When Leo had finished answering, he sat down at his father's head and began to eat.

The father and son faced each other quietly until the end of the meal, and both of them knew very well in their hearts that the next thorny question was the confession to Corinna, but Lypidaus's face was very relaxed, as if he had already made up his mind.

In the room in the backyard of Villa Prima, Corinna huggs her knees. Sitting on a couch under a colourful mural, she had no idea what was going on outside these days. Because she was isolated from the world, there were male and female slaves outside who sealed her room, and the close-fitting combed maids were all replaced by Li Bida, and no one sent a message to her, and no one dared.

But Corinna understands that Turinus has suffered, but she doesn't know what kind of disaster has happened.

When the high priest appeared in the garden, Poti came with all the slaves to greet him, and Li Bida sat on the stone chair as if he was a little tired, "Has my adoptive father not returned from Baie?" ”

"No, Marcos was in high spirits this time, for Printhia and Domuwai were vying for him, and he was with him on a make-up yacht from one end of the coast to the other." Potty smiled, rubbed the high priest's shoulders and loosened his bones, and said.

"Uh-how's Corinna, has she eaten?" At this time, the high priest turned the conversation to his daughter.

"She hasn't gone on a hunger strike, but she has eaten very little, and she has lost some weight in the last two days."

It turned out that Li Bida never liked to be like some aristocratic parents who were influenced by the oriental court style, teaching women to diet and shape their bodies, he always said to his daughter, eat whatever you like, just a little moderation, and go to the fitness room of the bathroom with the combing maid to sweat and exercise on weekdays, but resolutely do not allow her daughter to find a "massage oil technician", this kind of person is mostly taken by young men, who wipe olive oil and massage for the ladies after bathing, and frantically sell men to seduce customers.

So Corinna has developed a good habit, that is, she will definitely not be able to bear the hunger strike, although it is very sad.

"Immediately you all stay here and prepare for the dinner, and I will go and persuade my good girl." The high priest said so, and paced into the room in the backyard.

The servants hurriedly bowed and opened the door to show that they were dutifully guarding the young lady.

"Father, you deceived me, and you must have harmed Turinus." Corinna wore loose pajamas with her sideburns, and when she saw her father, she knew she was all over.

"Now I can tell you that Turinus will be exiled for the rest of his life, on the distant island of Malta." Li Bida sat on the chair inside the door, this direction happened to face his daughter, he carefully glanced at it in advance, and found that the cabinets and small tables around him had been removed, and there were no sharp utensils anywhere, so he settled down and told his daughter the final result of the matter.

Corinna lowered her long hair in front of her eyelashes and cheeks, and slowly covered her face with her hands, "Father, you won't allow me to kill myself, will you?" Otherwise, even without scissors, I could have gouged out my eyeballs with this hand. ”

"No, don't dig it, because you're still going to keep this pair of beautiful pupils, look at this." Li Bida sent Turinus's personal letter over.

One is for him and Corinna, and the other is for him and his stepfather Phillips, but both letters involve Corinna.

To tell the truth, Corinna was immediately disillusioned, she felt that she was a fool, and the man had been so sweet and flattering to her in the previous letter; In another letter, he ridiculed her for being watery after marriage, and looked down on her silky hair and skin, saying that the beauty of Rome should be like Cicero's new wife, Febilia, with plump and slightly freckled, curly hair.

"Father, I want to gouge out my eyes now," Corinna said, tears streaming down her face, "but even so, I still love him and still hate you." ”

"Didn't you always think of Turinus as a substitute for your father? You like Turinus, not because of his looks, not because of his character, but only because of his great ambition and skill, just like his father, isn't it? Li Bida lowered his voice, and this was deliberately said when the slaves were gone.

"Yes." Corinna did not shy away from saying, "In all of Rome, I always compare all the boys with you, so I did not have a good relationship with my brother when I was a child, because I think he is too elegant and gentle, and I will not be ashamed to say this, because the tongue-chewing slaves are not around, please look down on me, father" After saying this, Corinna fell on her side on the couch, turned her back to her father, and continued to cover her face with her hands, and her voice became lower and lower.
