Chapter 865: Atonement

As a father, Flavies. Luga may have been planning how to defend such a large Roman territory, even if it was only half of it, when he ascended to the throne of Augustus.

Therefore, he built the Theodosius Line on the Danube in advance to protect the Thracian province and Constantinople.

For the inside, Lickinia, yes, Lickinia, this stubborn to the point of being a little crazy, yes, Luga trusts her, trusts her immensely, even if she did so many very stubborn and extreme things in the first place.

Liekinia did her best to maintain Flavis' rule, and she believed in Flavis. Luga has become equated with the entire Flavis family.

After all, the Flavis family was already left in the civil war, and Luga's departure would only make Liequinia focus on the young Leo.

This poor little Leo, Luga could not wait for the moment when he became an adult, so his childhood was destined to be extremely unhappy under the watchful eye of a strict mother.

This is undeniably a last resort for the nobility to maintain the family, after all, you have such a huge power, you have to fulfill a huge responsibility.

Likinia was a very sane woman, she did not break down because of the difficulties and humiliations in front of her, on the contrary, she knew very well her strengths as a woman, so she was able to revive the whole of Flavies after the fall of her father.

She had the same keen eye as her father and could easily distinguish Flavis. The role of Luga,

As Luga said, she loves the Flavis family more than she loves Luga, and in order to get rid of such contradictions, Likinia deliberately anesthetizes herself, so that Luga is the same as the Flavis family, and then protects Luga as much as she protects Flavis.

For some people with rebellious thoughts, Lickinia's methods are naturally seen by everyone, and all the factors that are unfavorable to the Flavis family Lickinia will do her best to eradicate them.

In the past, there would be Luga who restrained Likinia everywhere, and when Luga was gone, no one could restrain Augusta in the world, which was an extremely primary problem.

If you are rebellious, pray that Augusta will not know!

All this seems to be ready, at least under Luga's own long-term deployment, there should be no problem, this is Luga's own opinion. So he no longer thinks about his life or death, anyway, he doesn't have a few days to live.

To the south of the Great Greek province is Crete, and in the western part of the island there is a small fishing village.

It's a great place to live, and most importantly, it's safe to live in.

Tucked away in a grove of trees on the shore is a white marble villa, next to the sea, where careful architects have built a small harbor with small fishing boats.

As soon as the fishing boat landed, a man dragged a fishing net ashore, his upper body naked, showing some loose but still strong muscles.

I saw him dragging a few ropes, the green tendons of his arms bulging, and his strength was so amazing that he dragged the entire fishing boat ashore.

The fishing boat went ashore, and the man put a log under the boat to support the whole boat.

He turned back to the fishing boat, carrying a wooden basket filled with all kinds of fish, large and small.

Today's harvest is good, and at least a few good fish can be sold at a good price from the fishermen in the fishing village.

When he came ashore and came to the villa, a young man ran out, so cheerful that he was like a foal, and he ran up to the man to help him carry his heavy fishing nets.

Although he is still young, he also has a lot of strength.

Looking at the child's hard work, the man couldn't help but reach out and caress the child's head lovingly.

"Adnus, after a while, you'll be able to go fishing with me!" The man smiled, and the wrinkles on his face were as obvious as the ravines of the cliff.

"Hmm!"

Little Adnus nodded heavily, and he walked side by side with the man, looking up at the man from time to time, his eyes glinting.

"Luga, Adnus, the food is ready!"

In the villa, Tenaia stood in front of the door and shouted at the large and small figures.

"Good, good!"

The father and son complied with each other, and could not help but speed up their feet, and they trotted all the way to the door of the villa, by which time Tenaia had already draped Luga with a blanket in her hand.

Looking at Tenaia, Luga's eyes were full of doting, and he was still as hot as he was more than twenty years ago, this is the love that has been hidden in his heart for nearly twenty years, and finally it is just right under the premise that everything is not late.

The food on the table was not as rich and delicious as in the palace, but bread and vegetable soup and grilled fish with just the right heat, but Luga and Adernus still ate sweetly.

Holding the wooden spoon, Luga fell into deep thought as he ate, where he froze, his expression thoughtful, as if he was distressed by something.

"What's wrong, dear?" Tenaia frowned and looked at Luga, then stopped what she was doing and looked up at Luga.

"I don't know, I don't know." Luga came back to his senses at this time, and he smiled apologetically at Tenaia to come back to his senses, and then quickened his movements, and took a big gulp, as if to show Tenaia that he was all right.

Tenaia is naturally very clear about Luga's changes, she has watched Luga go through more than 20 years, and she can't be clearer about Luga.

She was also a little disappointed, Luga was still Luga himself, his face did not change in the slightest, but this trip to Rome gave him a few more scars.

But the inside of his eyes has become completely different from the past, although Lujia is a little old now, but his eyes are as smart and energetic as when he was young, as if his state of mind is still in his twenties, he has lost his old age and calmness, and has faded away from the psychological imprint of time.

After the meal, Luga and Tenaia sat on the balcony on the second floor of the villa, looking up at the sea in front of them, Luga held a wooden glass containing the most ordinary wine.

It was an afternoon event that had long been taken for granted, and Luga and Tenaia lived a routine life, enjoying the rest of their lives under all constraints.

The breeze blew from the other side of the ocean, swept across their faces, and ruffled Tenea's hair draped over her shoulders, strands of blonde hair drawing the shape of the wind.

This time there will be no parting, and there will be no war, because Luga, who symbolizes war, has left, and Luga's war has ended, and there will be no return.

"I don't know why, it's all very strange." Luga held the cup in both hands and said to Tenaia: "It was as if I had a very long, very long dream, and when I woke up, I didn't expect that more than twenty years had passed, and then, as if someone had already prepared it for me, I was like a child who had been blessed by God alone, enjoying all the love he had given me, oh my God, why am I so happy." ”

Although he was secretly glad, Lu Jia stroked his forehead and frowned, "But why? Why do I always can't remember what I've done in the past few decades, it's like a dream, I wake up with no memory, I'm trying, I'm trying! ”

Tenaia didn't answer, she was just silent, because the priest told her that Luga had been blessed by God, because he had seen too much suffering in the world, he had seen too much life and death, that his sins in this life had been atoned for, that he had enough debts to God, that he would not have to atone for his sins again, that he would never have to do it again.

He did not sleep for a day, so God gave him a sweet dream. Because he was extraordinary for half a lifetime, God gave him the rest of his life to be ordinary; He took up his sword to fight for God, and his body and hands were stained with the blood of his enemies, so God cleansed his sins with this blood, and made a ladder to heaven from the bones of his enemies, and God purified his soul.

Tenaia was convinced that Luga had been redeemed, the same as his previous headaches, that God had given him, and that he was now fully recovered, like a newborn child.

"Everything will be fine, everything will be fine!"

Tenaia reached out and stroked Luga's cheek, softly comforting Luga, after all, for the rest of her life, there were only the two of them.
