Chapter 54: Be a Clerk for Life
Back at the palace, I immediately questioned the whole thing.
"And what are you going to do with that woman?"
"House arrest until you have a child with Alexander. ”
Really...
"Then why don't you put her under house arrest early in the morning!"
"My dear child, I just wanted to find out what tricks that woman could play, so during her time at the palace, I used the excuse of forming a legion in Anatolia. ”
Just because I want to know how Elizabeth is?
"Marcus doesn't have to die, that guy is a little bit of a waste, but I know that he has always wanted to do something else for you, for the Empire, and for the Theofano family! You shouldn't just throw that stupid guy into a trap who doesn't see the slightest hint of other people's schemes! If you remind him a little bit and tell him that that Russian woman is the enemy you have to deal with, he will not touch Elizabeth at all!"
"And that Clemmont bastard too! You could have stopped it from happening! You made that Elizabeth think you were a fool, and that's fun?!"
"As I said, I wanted to know what tricks the Queen of Russia could play, so that it would be easier for me to decide the fate of that woman and the others. ”
"Caesar, that's just a bitch! a woman who only brought a few dozen people to the Empire! There are only ten ways to be able to do her, why do you use this way! Implicate so many people! Don't tell, it's because you're merciful!" I sneered.
"Kindness, yes. My son, I used to be too merciful. It was my grandfather who spared the rival royal family and their henchmen, but in exchange for betrayal and assassination. I spared the relatives and some of the people who were not deeply involved, thinking that this would make them bow down. But I was wrong. More than ten years have passed, in exchange for the assassination of you and me. Now, I just want to see the loyalty of those followers, and now you see it, some of them. Not worthy of the honor and status we have given. Replace them, there are people who are eager to climb their place and become a replacement. ”
"You may have gone mad. ”
I looked at the man I used to think was wise, with some disbelief.
"I'm not crazy. Maybe some of those people were involved in the assassination! And I know that right now, in Constantinople, there are people who participated in the assassination of your uncle. Your uncle. And the murderers who assassinated you, who assassinated me! The reason why I can't find the remnants of the murderers is because they are shielded! They are hidden by the conspirators! I want to find out the people! I want to find out the betrayers, one by one!"
The inexplicable hysterical man in front of me made me see the moustache Hitler in the movie, who no one believed in but himself, was it because of the successive assassinations that his temperament changed?
"You're really crazy. ”
"I am Caesar, and I have seen more darkness than you!"
"Speaking of darkness, there's something I've been holding on to for a long time! Penevis visits every day, and is actually instructed by you. And this instruction is most likely supervision and surveillance. Originally, I could have endured. But now, Caesar, please withdraw your hand, and don't turn her black with you!"
"I am Caesar, and I have the right to know anything!"
Reaching over the table, I lifted his collar.
"You are only Caesar, you are not a god! Only God has the right to know all things in the Dao! Father! What are the consequences of any mortal trying to become a god, you should know the Dao!"
"You're threatening me!!"
"If you think so, then that's what I mean!"
"Everything I do is for you, for the Empire!"
"Father, if it's just for the sake of that so-called loyalty, you will force everyone to your opposite, I'm afraid that Alexander and I will fight against you in the future!"
"Swords, facing each other....!"
As I listened to the man's words word by word, I suddenly noticed that he was old, and his brow was full of tiredness and grief.
.....................
After the morning, Penevies came to see me, and the look in her eyes was strange.
But she didn't ask anything, just hesitated a few times and then closed her mouth again.
It would be fine if Peneves just held back and didn't speak, but she actually practiced piano at such a time... I wouldn't have let the piano come in, and I had been blinded by Pennivis's clumsy excuse that listening to a concert would make the wound heal faster.
By noon, I finally couldn't stand it anymore: "If there is anything you want to ask, just say it." ”
I said a few words and saw Penevis look like a fishy kitten caught by someone, almost all of her hair standing on end.
"Do you really want me to say it?"
"Well, if you don't say it, you're playing the piano there all day, and I suspect I'm going to be driven crazy by you. ”
Penevis blushed and withdrew her hand.
"Did you say anything to Caesar?...
"How?"
"Thank you. ”
"You're welcome. ”
She hung her head and said apologetically, "I'm sorry. ”
"I'm not stupid. Penivis, I knew it would be like this from the day you walked in. I walked over to comfort her, stroking Penevis's head, "But that's fine, so you won't be able to get married, and you'll be by my side from now on." I still have a headache, what should I do if you get married. ”
Penevis's eyes turned red, as if I had spoken to her at once.
"You're all bullying me!"
"Oh?"
"In the past, Caesar wouldn't let me in if I didn't promise your father, but after I agreed, my father, my brother, and my mother, as soon as they saw me, asked me, 'Did I do that kind of thing with you?'
I can imagine the anticipation of Pennivis's family waiting for her to be pushed down by me, and this is a good opportunity for one person to ascend to heaven.
"Thank you. But. So are you looking forward to having relationships with other strange men somewhere else?" I asked, sitting next to Penives.
"I don't expect that kind of thing, I know you men are all badasses. Penevis snorted.
Listening to Penevis kill a boatload of people with a single rod, I smiled, "Since you're happy to stay with me." I don't want to get married, I have something I want to ask you here, is that okay?"
Who doesn't want to put on a bride's gown and step on the red carpet left by Emperor Reinstein to fulfill our girlhood dream. Penevis wiped tears from her eyes as she spoke dissatisfied, "Say, what a request." ”
I asked, "I need a private scrivener." A clerk who can record my life, are you interested in doing it?"
"You don't mind if I become another Procopias and write another Secret History?"
Seeing Pennivis, he sneered. I was stunned, it was really rare for such an expression to appear on such a girl's face.
"I'm not afraid. ”
Procopius was a historian of Justinian's time in the early Eastern Roman Empire, and The Secret History is a history book written by Procopius.
The combination of Procopius and Procopius's "Secret History" is almost equivalent to the meaning of the idioms "two-faced, three-sword" and "yang-fengyin-violation" in Greek.
The reason for this is that Procopius had three books.
The History of Justinian's Wars was his first completed history book. In the History of Justinian's Wars. Procopius blew Justinian the Great, the one who fought against Persia and then sent troops to recover Rome, and tried his best to praise the "martial arts" of Emperor Justinian I and his general Belisarius, believing that their exploits were unprecedented. If it is just such a "History of Justinian's Wars", Procopius is undoubtedly a big patter of the emperor's sycophants.
However, after Procopius's death, his Secret History was published.
Procopius scolded Belisarius, Justinian's first general, in the Secret History. and describes how Belisarius had committed adultery with his wife in the court, and fornicated with the court. Then he put it in "The History of Justinian's Wars", which was blown by him to the sky, it is simply the five emperors of Rome alive, Augustus I possessed, and Caesar's empowerment of Justinian as the embodiment of the devil, the devil who destroyed the empire. Such a two-faced guy is really a wonderful grain in the literary history of the Roman Empire.
"Don't be afraid, I'm who I am. ”
"How long does it take?"
"Time?" I curled Pennivis's jaw, "for a lifetime." ”
The literary girl blushed, not only did her eyes move to the other side, her thick eyelashes fluttered, and her ears exposed behind her hair were even more red.
"Is it fun to mess with me!"
Then, she tried to push me away, but I was prepared for it, reached out and hugged her, and lowered my head.
Chu Yi resisted, and soon she was completely obedient, not only softened her whole person, but also closed her eyes.
Assasin's lips are always so passionate, Feletlia has its own characteristics, and Penevis has a different style.
Quietly savoring the first kiss of a literary girl, I felt that her slippery cloves were much more jerky, but unlike Feletria's kind of passionate entanglement even if it was jerky, and then gnaw on the marks of my mouth, Penevis was just quietly waiting for my attack.
When I felt that Penevis had been kissed to the air, I left her lips and kissed her earlobe. The woman's ears were very sensitive, and the slightest trace of heat poured into the ear holes, and Penavis's body was even more unbearable. Then kissed from earlobe to neck, then from neck to her pointed chin, and then from chin to cheek, back to kiss that touch of warm soft lips.
Penevis let out a slight grunt in her throat, and her soft lips opened to let me in.
The hot and suffocating kiss was so hot that it was dark, and soon she was lying on the ground, crushed by me.
Penavis, whose eyes were full of shame, actually carried a seductive charm and charm at this time: "Was that a marriage proposal just now?"
"What do you say?"
Penevis let out another sigh, and her face was hot at the moment: "How can you propose like this." ”
"Will you say yes?" (to be continued......)
