......

"Your Excellency, the petitions of the Council of Elders are here. ”

"Well, I'll see. ”

Two years ago, in the camp of the Holy Family's new homeland, Richard was silent as he looked at the rolls of yellowed parchment, the years had left little trace on his face, his hair was black and thick, his facial features were delicate and distinct, he was still young, strong, and energetic.

"The Council of Elders also wants to come to our territory to develop, what do you think?"

"No, my lord, we can't let them come!"

"Why?"

"My lord, don't forget, who stood in your way twenty years ago, those damn old things just don't know how to be flexible, oh, forgive me, except for Lord Wei...... If you stand out from the crowd, I swear, the current Holy Clan still has no place to live!"

"That's all in the past...... Listen, I need you to go to Blackthorn Castle and bring me a message to Archduke Greia, I want to ask him to educate Limon and let Vera go too, it's good to see the world......"

"What? But isn't the Grand Duke of Golia your political enemy?"

"Do as I say! The Empire is about to change, and Fiona has some agreements with them...... I don't think Geria will refuse...... In addition, I would like to inform Elder Wei on the other side of the Council of Elders that one of my four descendants is a hostage in the Imperial Palace, one is serving in the legendary legions in the East, and two are about to leave with a fancy to Glia, and he knows what to do. ”

"Yes, my lord!"

Richard was alone in the empty hall of the lord, and no one knew where the other voice was coming from. After a moment, Richard seemed to think of something, and left a little lonely, and a low murmur seemed to echo in the dark room.

"I'm sorry, my kids ......"

......

"Vera?"

"Yes, father. ”

"Take this bag of gold coins and your brother and go to the Grand Duke of Greia...... I'll send a team of guards to escort you along the way. ”

"Knowing Dad, I will protect my brother. ”

"Vera ......"

"What?"

"I hope you are all alive, you, Li Meng, and your two elder brothers, all alive, remember, no matter what happens in the future, what will happen, you must live......"

......

"I'm sorry, my child ......"

Outside Rome, in the camp of the makeshift but heavily guarded "royalist" legions, Richard, who was resting on the table, opened his eyes tiredly.

He had forgotten that this was the first time he had dreamed of ...... Vera, whose eyes were red, and Li Meng, who still looked ignorant and ignorant, left her with unbearable memories when she left her......

It's been two years......

It's been two years, and Richard hasn't seen Vera again, and the widow of his original wife, Leemon......

Leemon's birth was an accident, and five years ago, Cohen suddenly brought the news of the death of Richard's original wife, as well as a baby who lay quietly in the crook of his arm.

That baby is Li Meng......

Looking at the child, who looked very similar to his mother, Richard was silent......

So, despite Fiona's strong objections, Richard brought him back to his new home under the watchful eye of Cohen's murderous gaze.

And this is also the beginning of the rift in the relationship between Fiona and Richard......

The day she brought Lemon back to her new home, Fiona left her for good with her second son, Lyvic......

Richard loved Fiona...... Although the current relationship between the two was facilitated by a political marriage, Richard knew that in the heart of that fanatical saintess, he still reserved a place for himself.

Now, among all his relatives, it seems that only the eldest son is still by his side......

Richard sighed and decided that after all this was over, he must go to the city of Gadlin in Sicily and retrieve his two children from the Black Thorn Castle of Archduke Glia......

Well, it's close.

It's very close to those two children......

At least, much closer than before......

Just as Richard yawned in a trance and was about to lie down on the table to continue sleeping, he suddenly felt a familiar aura around him.

The corners of Richard's mouth were slightly hooked, he tried to stand up, opened his worried eyes, and said with a smile: "Will, my child, ...... you come back"

Before he could finish speaking, Richard's pupils narrowed, as he realized that Will had not come back alone.

He also had an old man with mottled gray hair, but he still looked very energetic.

Richard's own talent is not good, and his current strength is only one order higher than before-Warrior Chief.

As a warrior captain, he can't even beat his own child Will.

But this does not hinder his position in the hearts of all, nor does it hinder ...... He could see the ...... on the old man in front of him who was staring at him coldly Extraordinary......

"Father, I'm back, and I'm sorry that the mission you gave me failed...... When I arrived in the cellar of the library, those who were loyal to His Majesty the Emperor...... All were killed. After Richard looked up and saw Caesar, Will naturally showed a regretful expression and said with some frustration.

"Oh...... It's a shame...... His Majesty the Emperor should be very sad when he hears the news...... "When he saw the old man, the surprise that appeared in his eyes disappeared, Richard nodded, and said with some frustration, and then, he stood up, with a slightly wary look, and asked, "I understand the general situation...... Will, this ...... Who is the old man? And have the men who came with you back?"

Without waiting for Will to reply, Caesar took a step forward and motioned for him to stop.

From what he had just observed, Caesar did not see anything wrong with Richard's face, but rather seemed to be a loyal and enthusiastic courtier.

At this moment, Caesar remained indifferent on the surface, but his heart was full of doubts.

A long time ago, after that well-orchestrated conspiracy, he lived in seclusion in Sardinia for more than a hundred years...... However, just over a hundred years later, these holy families have become loyal vassals of the Romans?

It's weird!

With doubts in his heart, Caesar thought for a moment, and then said, "Don't worry...... Your name is Richard, isn't it? Your kid told me your name...... First of all, thank you for all your contributions to the Empire...... The little guys who sneaked into Rome with this good boy were all brought back by me, and I have to say that their strength is ...... Very strong. It is so strong that compared to those holy clans who fought against Rome back then, it is not lagging behind! I have only one question, what are you and your people doing these things for?"

"Why? The question itself is strange, and I am here, of course, to help His Majesty the Emperor and regain control of the city of Rome. Richard looked at Caesar suspiciously, then turned his puzzled gaze to Will, and asked with some hesitation, "...... Will, my child. Who is this old man? Could it be that you kidnapped...... No, some of the patriarchs brought out?"

"How is it possible, father, do you think I might stay alive if I run into those elders?" Will looked helpless, he spread his hands, and then under the threat of Caesar's "unintentional" eyes, he quickly regained his feet, smiled a little bitterly, and said nothing.

Seeing that the words had come to this point, Caesar could only cough twice, clear his throat, and then looked at Richard and said calmly: "I am Caesar! Gaius Julius Caesar!

"Caesar, Venerable Augustus......" Richard subconsciously stood up, then, he frowned, shook his head again, and finally, his face was full of surprising anger, and he made a look of deliberately suppressing this anger, and said with a strong anger: "Honorable Augustus, he has already been assassinated in the Senate by that group of shameless senators!"

Then, with some dissatisfaction, Richard said, "Will, my child, please don't make these jokes in the future. And, this old ...... Please get out of here!"

Seeing Richard's appearance, Caesar was helpless at the same time, and at the same time, an emotion called pride inevitably emerged in his heart.

Anyone who hears someone talk about his glorious deeds or belittle his enemies will have a great increase in his favorability toward that person.

Caesar at this moment, that's it.

However, under the influence of these emotions, Caesar also unconsciously let down his vigilance and believed most of the words of Will and Richard.

Caesar then went to the corner of the command post, found a chair and sat down, then crossed his legs and said proudly: "I am Gaius Julius Caesar!"

Seeing that Richard still didn't believe it, he even looked like he wanted to get angry.

Caesar took a deep breath and controlled the battle qi on his body, forming a golden film of light on the surface of his body.

Then, he tore the light armor on his body to pieces, and at the same time as the light armor shattered, his whole body was surrounded by that golden light film.

Will and Richard were stunned by the dazzling light, and when their vision returned to normal again, a tall, dignified-looking middle-aged man with the noble temperament that was unique to a leader appeared in this place.

The light armor of a legionary general during the Republic period on his body was gone, and in his place was an imperial general's armor full of magic fluctuations and a glowing glow!

On the chest of the armor is a golden olive wreath pattern, which is the emblem of the Julius family!

Caesar raised his head proudly and said, "Holy family, my death is only for the founding of the Roman Empire! Gaius, Julius, and Caesar are destined to be immortal!"
