For the sake of the princess, who had come from afar, Luga chartered the largest hotel in Verona for Princess Liquinia and her entourage.

For a guy who has long been accustomed to sleeping in the open, Luga is naturally willing to stay in the barracks with the soldiers. There is no difference between the military bed and the gorgeous bed in the inn, they are all places to sleep, and they are divided into high and low, vulgar!

But these are all excuses, and the main problem is nothing more than avoiding the princess Liekinia, what will this princess who doesn't know what is going on in her head to make Lu Jia dumbfounded in this place where she can't look up and look down? Luga doesn't know, and he's even more afraid of what kind of moth will appear, if he doesn't know what to do if he does it again, it will really lose face and lose character. Luga is not willing to take this risk, we can't afford to provoke it, but we can afford to hide!

At night, the princess Licinia came out of the bath, she was dressed in a loose nightgown, lying alone on the sloping couch near the window, her eyes were deep, looking out of the window at the night sky, and her black eyes were left by her Latin blood, like a mirror, reflecting the stars in the night sky.

"The princess seems to have been so worried since she left Constantinople." A waitress in the room said to the person beside her.

"Yes." The other also complained: "It's not that His Majesty Augustus, who dislikes the Western Empire, doesn't like it. ”

"Yes, after all, I haven't even met in person, so I got married directly. Although the aristocratic family is like this, it is too bitter for the princess. ”

"Dangdang!"

The whispering of the maids was interrupted by three crisp knocks on the door, which frightened them into a low exclamation, and they came back to their senses and hurried to ask who it was.

"Me."

The voice was very strong, containing vicissitudes, and when I heard it, I was an old man, and this voice was naturally familiar to the maid.

The maid did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly opened the door, moving lightly and cautiously, for fear that she would startle the princess in a daze.

"Is it Lord Areobinders?" Halfway through the door, Liekinia asked without looking back.

"Yes, Your Highness." The maid stopped where she was, turned around and hastened to answer.

"Let him in." Liekinia let out a long sigh and opened her mouth to speak.

The maids naturally did not dare to slack off, but they heard a "squeak", and the door was opened, and Areobindes, dressed in civilian clothes, stood in the doorway.

"Why did you come now?" Lyquinia glanced back at Areobinders, then back at the night sky.

"Listen to the call of Her Royal Highness the Princess." Areobindes walked in and explained to Licinia with a smile: "I wanted to go to Her Royal Highness's bedroom to dress fiercely, so I changed into a light outfit to not burden myself, and second, to be too formal so that Her Highness would not be uncomfortable with me." ”

"Your Excellency is a martial artist, and wearing armor is not a hurtful thing." Princess Likinia said, and couldn't help but sigh,

"Could it be that Her Royal Highness is not satisfied with Augustus in the Western Empire?" Areobindes said, slowly walking over to the stool behind Licchia and sitting down, looking at her back. Areobindes smiled, like a kind father looking at his own daughter. After all, he is Augustus's most trusted general, and he has watched this girl grow up since he was a child, and he still has some special feelings for Lickinia.

"Your Excellency has been my father's best friend for many years, and you have my father's trust." Finally, Liquinia had had enough of the night sky outside, and she turned back to look at Areobinders, her brow furrowed and her expression despondent. "Don't you still understand why I'm so resistant to this marriage?"

"Oh, my princess, of course I understand!" Areobindes was still smiling, his expression matched Lickinia's current thoughts more like a wry smile, "But this is for your father, your wedding is something you have to face, although the performance of Augustus in the Western Empire is still a little bit different from the hero in your mind." ”

"He's just good!" At the mention of Valentinian, Lickinia shook her head again and again, her eyes revealing disdain. "At least he is still too much worse than his father's adopted son."

"Likenia." Areobindes looked serious and said earnestly: "Valentinian, it is Augustus, the most powerful person in the entire Western Empire, he is the Purple Room, you marry him, and it is also the glory of your life!" ”

"Hmph." Liekinia snorted coldly and retorted dissatisfiedly: "Augustus is not the only one who can be a ......."

"Likenia!" Areobindes looked at her with a serious face and said: "Marrying Augustus Valentinian is something you have to face, which means that in the entire empire, only Valentinian can match you, and only he is qualified to marry you!" ”

Liekinia was silent, she didn't know how to refute it. This is exactly what Areobindes wants, although he knows that the princess and Augustus do not have any emotional foundation, but this is the fate of the Purple Room, as long as the children of the members of the Purple Room are born, they can't hide it, this is politics, but also survival.

"So, are your wedding clothes ready?" Kind of a pleasantry, Areobinders asked.

Liekinia didn't say anything, presumably making a last-ditch struggle, though it was powerless. Even the last person who is considered a relative does not support her in this regard, then she really has nothing to say. Turning around, he left a sentence: "I'm tired, nothing else, don't say it again!" ”

Areobindes knew that she was a little unhappy now, but he couldn't persuade anything, he couldn't understand Rietagia's thoughts, and certainly Riekinea couldn't understand her father's Theodosius's thoughts. This becomes compulsion and obedience, and the anger and repression of dissatisfaction in the heart that has nowhere to vent are slowly becoming deformed.

"Then I will retire, Your Royal Highness Princess, don't have any complaints at that time, no matter how much you refute, you can't change your status quo." Areobindes got up and walked out of the room, leaving behind the three maids and Licchinia.

"Why!" Likinia bit her lower lip tightly, she was unwilling, and she became an Augustan woman so casually. "Why can't I, like Platicia, marry someone who has the strength to become Augustus?" I'm afraid no one can give her an answer to this question, and the result may be only she can control.
