"Chapter 91: Two Love Letters"
Sulcampodibattaglia, ilcoraggioèmeglio diquantità (On the battlefield, courage is better than quantity)
- Wigisius (Ancient Roman Emperor, author of [Roman Military System])
After arranging everything, Luquis went out of the tent and ordered the soldiers of the First Legion to board the ship with the prisoners; As for the 20,000 barrels of wine, Luquis had already sent someone to load it onto the transport ship brought back by Gatsiy after Luquis received the secret letter. Immediately afterwards, the generals found their own reasons to withdraw from the military tent, leaving only Oscar and Anne, Mary and Shi Xiu.
Oscar naturally understood what the generals' intentions were; However, it is inconvenient for me to say anything when the three daughters are there! So, Oscar had no choice but to pretend to be looking at the parchment roll on the handsome case; The three girls also sat without saying a word. In the end, Anne, who was so overwhelmed by the strange atmosphere in the military tent, also excused herself to go out and arrange for the fleet to go; At this time, there were only three people left in the military tent.
When the rallying horn of the First Legion outside the tent began to sound, Oscar knew that he had to speak: but before Oscar could speak, Mary spoke first. "Didn't you say you'd take me with you wherever you go? Why didn't you take me with you when you went back to Rome this time? Mary's words made it really difficult for Oscar to answer, and Oscar couldn't say: Because I might have to have a wedding with someone else when I go back, I can't take you with me. That's fucking up too! "It's not that I won't take you; Rather, I went back to Rome to participate in a triumphal ceremony, and then to collect the corps of recruits, and soon I was back. I don't take you there so that you can start the formation and training of the Guards Regiment as soon as possible, and time waits for no one; In order to prevent a possible attack by Carthage and Hannibal, we must speed up. Oscar could only hold this reason in his mind, Mary believed it or not, Oscar didn't know; Anyway, Oscar believed it.
After listening to Oscar's obvious improvised reason, Mary just looked at Oscar with a smile and nodded, then turned her gaze to Shi Xiu and stopped talking. Shi Xiu said directly to Oscar: "I don't have anything to say, if you don't have anything to say; Then you should hurry up and go, and you can't let the fleet outside wait for you. ”
At this moment, Oscar is even more embarrassed; I really feel like I can't go, and I can't go either. After thinking about it for a long time, Oscar finally stomped his foot and took out two silk handkerchiefs from his arms; Stuffing the pink handkerchief in Mary's hand and the purple handkerchief in Shi Xiu's hand, Oscar escaped out of the military tent.
After Oscar left, the two did not open their handkerchiefs, but each stuffed them into their arms. This time, Mary asked Shi Xiu directly: "Do you know that when he returns to Rome, in addition to what he said, he will marry Prisca of the Maxentius family?" Shi Xiu stretched lazily and replied, "You know everything, can I not know?" I bet what he wrote on our handkerchiefs must have been the same; Of course, the name will be different. Mary, who knew Oscar well, also nodded, indicating that she agreed with Shi Xiu's words. Immediately, the two of them went their separate ways.
Perhaps, Oscar is indeed quite an idiot when it comes to feelings; It is also possible that Oscar is a simple person. In short, Mary and Shi Xiu guessed correctly; Oscar wrote exactly two love letters and sent them out. As Shi Xiu said, the only difference is that the signature is different; That's all. Moreover, this love letter was memorized from the Internet by Oscar in the pretense of being deep; Why does Oscar pretend to be deep and recite this from the Internet? It's not to deceive other little girls! As a result, it didn't work; In the spirit of not wasting it, Oscar is used here.
The love letter reads: If one day we are not together, we should be like together. Memories are like water poured in the palm of your hand, whether you spread it out or hold it tightly, it will eventually flow clean from your fingers. The ending and process are there, and if you entangle it again, even you feel greedy. Maybe if you leave, you will never come back; Even if you come back, you are no longer dependent on me; Perhaps dependence is the greatest harm to yourself; Maybe the hurt will finally let you go; Maybe the relief will doom me to leave......
Draw a game of life and death to write an ending to our story. Will I think of you much later, and then ask myself why I didn't cherish you so much in the first place? The process and the ending are there, and then I feel greedy to entangle, even myself. There is no joy when it is time to laugh, no tears when it is time to cry, and no promise when it is time to believe. Everything has a price, and the price of happiness is pain. I always thought that I could be happy in that way, but it turned out that happiness was sadness that could not be imitated.
Memories are in the traces of the years, precipitating a good-looking appearance. A life of laughter, on the other side of time, can bring all promises back to the original point. Maybe love is just because of loneliness and needs to find someone to love, even if there is no ending. Life is not endless, and loneliness is endless. Loneliness is the eternal theme of love; I was alone with my shadow, and it said it had something whispering to me, and it said it missed you. It turns out that my shadow and I are thinking about you, a person who is stuck in memories, waiting for the beauty of the past to awaken his own depth.
You treat me as a kite, either let me go, or never let go, don't tie me up with an invisible emotion and make me sad. Even if youth steps through the swamp, it will come with the fragrance of flowers. Falling in love is a feeling, and when this feeling is no longer there, I am still forcing myself, which is called responsibility! It's courage to leave! When this courage is no longer there, I am still encouraging myself, this is called tragedy! Loneliness is not something you are born with, but it starts the moment you fall in love with someone.
A tragedy has just unfolded on the other side of perfection, where all the blood and tears have grown a bud in the withered thorns, which will go through the seven thunderstorms of reincarnation and then bloom in the humid air...... I like to leave my mark on you, but I never remember that you never belonged to me......
Well, I admit that what I wrote was a bit off topic and made it up. Actually, what I'm really trying to say is; Mary (Shi Xiu), this time I am going back to Rome to marry another woman. Countless external pressures and being the leader of House Augustus prevented me from choosing the freedom I wanted; This is the price of gaining power, and it is also the sorrow of being weak.
I don't know why, but I can't say a lot of things to my face; But one thing is certain. I like you, really; I like you so much and I hope you can stay with me forever. Now I and my house of Augustus are still very weak; However, I have always believed that one day, I will become the most powerful man in this world, and my family will become the only ruling family in this world!
I know that a lot of it is very selfish to say it; It's also very unconvincing, but I still want to say it. Even if I marry someone else, I still hope that you will not leave me or alienate me; I can assure you that one day I can give you a name that belongs to you. Of course, I also know that I might be a bit narcissistic; But it doesn't matter, the important thing is that I know I like you, and that's enough.
I wish you could always be by my side and never leave me; Never let us be each other's memories and love your Oscars. For the record, you can also choose to leave me; But wherever you go, it's the next target for the Augustan army. As long as you are in the territory of House Augustus, you are my woman!
Well, these two love letters from Oscar are indeed very badly written; At least it's more of a declaration of sovereignty than a love letter. first wrote a mess of broken things that no one could understand, and then explained that he was going to marry someone else; In the end, Tian shamelessly let the second daughter be her woman. Such a love letter, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, is estimated to be this one; Still, the effect seems to be good.
Whether it is the mature and generous Shi Xiu or the cunning and intelligent Mary, they all showed a sincere smile after reading Oscar's so-called love letter. Perhaps, the two don't have much affection for Oscar; However, there is also a minimum of good feelings. After all, with the experience of the two of them, it can be easily seen; Oscar is actually an unqualified novice emotionally. Moreover, his respect for women comes from the heart; Even Shi Xiu, who heard Oscar propose polygamy, had to admit that deep down Oscar did not regard women as vassals of men.
Of course, the two girls would not have thought that Oscar was not from this world at all; In Oscar's original world, women were individuals like men. It is a universally recognized fact that women can hold up half the sky and the law of equality between men and women, and female presidents, female prime ministers, female prime ministers, and female kings abound. Therefore, there is no concept of women being vassals of men in Oscar's worldview.
For Oscar, after coming to this world, he has unimaginable power and status; However, this does not mean that you are destined to be the end of this chaotic era. Maybe there really is a protagonist mode, but Oscar doesn't dare to pin his net worth and life on this illusory idea. Even if Alexander the Great lived an ordinary life, there will be a tragedy of death before his ambition is paid; I don't dare to be careless.
Based on this thought, Oscar has been working hard for the survival of himself and his family since he came to this world; However, a man's world is always indispensable. So, his fiancée Prisca, the three beautiful pirates, they came to him one after another; There will even be more women around him in the future. But this does not mean that Oscar needs to include all the beauties in his own house, and Oscar is not a stallion, and he can't cultivate so many beauties.
However, everyone has a love for beauty; Meet the kind of woman who is talented, attractive, and attractive to you. Oscar is not a monk who is empty, he will definitely be tempted by them; After being tempted, it is not a big deal to keep them by your side within your ability. Have you ever seen a legendary man with only one wife? To a certain extent, having a high quality and a large number of women is a reflection of one's own ability; This is true in ancient and modern times, and there are so many specific examples that there is no need to list them.
So, after much thought, Oscar sent these two love letters; In order to keep the second daughter by his side, that's all.
