Chapter 764: Waiting

It's a new day, and in the blink of an eye, it's winter, and the temperature is gradually getting milder.

There is no drought and heat in summer, and the climate in winter is like a mild virgin, not alarming, always giving people a light propulsion, as if the breeze passes, put on a sheepskin jacket, and the steps are getting faster and faster with the wind.

The palace was quiet, and no one else was seen except for the guards who faithfully guarded it, and the maids who occasionally came in and out.

The departure of Augustus seems to have made it lose its former popularity, but it is better that a huge royal palace has become a sanatorium-like place, and for its occupants it is a paradise that loves to be deserted.

The Diocla Palace in Constantinople is an evergreen palace hidden in a green area, and when it opens, it opens to a large pool of water with water jets that go up from the left and right sides of the pool, and finally converge in front of a large gate inlaid with gold.

The roads inside the palace are as intricate as the rules of the palace, but it is not difficult for the servants who have been wandering here for many years, after all, to be familiar with any of them is something to be proud of for a lifetime.

The large bathroom is covered with tulle, which not only gives the whole bathroom a hazy feeling, but also protects the noble and holy bodies of the royal family members from being seen by mortals.

Likinia is new to the bath, and during this time, Luga, who is her brother, no longer makes her uncomfortable, and no one accompanies her to pass the time, but also because those earth-shattering events also provoke her fragile nerves from time to time.

Fortunately, the news of victory always comes faster than people, and the new Augustus led the Roman people to teach the unknown Attila a hard lesson, once again proving that the Romans are powerful in combat and that civilization can always defeat barbarism.

Such deeds are enough to give the patriarchs who have become uninteresting in twilight life a new topic.

Leekinia was reluctant to argue with these old men about national affairs, at most she often sat with the wives of the courtiers and drank wine, gossiping about some trivial matters of daily life, intentionally or unintentionally, and passing the time of boredom might be able to ease her longing for Luga and Yudoria and Oberia, so as to prove that she was still an amorous girl, not a guy who couldn't say what it was.

It was not only women who served this royal family, but also men, but men like this had long been deprived of the right to pleasure after learning the methods of the East.

A eunuch holding Cicero's anthology in his hand, which is Leequinia's favorite thing to do when she bathes, that is, to listen to the wise sayings of her predecessors.

"I like an old man with a young heart, and to be able to be such a person, although the body will age, the heart will not age." The eunuch read carefully, for fear of making a mistake.

"Huh!"

But I heard a crisp sound, as crisp as a wooden block falling, simple and clear.

The young man shuddered at this small movement, and he hurriedly looked up, only to see Likinia with her back to him through the tulle, and she had just come out of the bath, and the maid quickly draped her soft robe over her naked body.

Another maid was kneeling on the ground, carefully cleaning up the bath salts that had been knocked over on the ground.

"Am I that old?" Leekinia turned her back to the eunuch, and her tone was clearly dissatisfied.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

When the eunuch heard this, he immediately panicked, and he hurriedly bowed and apologized, although this was just a vexatious attempt by Liequinia to be idle and boring.

"Alas~"

Licinia sighed and stretched out her hand, and the maid slipped her with expensive clothes one by one.

"Tell me what's interesting lately."

Likinia said, not forgetting to lower her head to look at her untidy clothes, and not forgetting to tidy up to make herself look more noble and decent.

"Yes, ma'am, excellent news." The eunuch hurriedly said: "It is said that Augustus's army has reached Filippopoli, this is the news from three days ago. ”

"Why did you tell me now!" Lykinia immediately came to her senses when she heard this, and she turned her head sharply to glare at the eunuch, and the anger in her eyes almost burned him to ashes.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, forgive me, ma'am, forgive me!" Seeing that the situation was not good, the eunuch attendant hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy from Leechia, which was the meaning of the court minister Demisius, that Caesar wanted to surprise you.

"Surprise?" Likinia repeated, couldn't help but sneer, slowly lifted the veil, and came to the waiter unhurriedly, "You all treat me as a fool and deliberately come to hide from me, right? No wonder I was so eagerly urged this morning to finish bathing, I thought it was some kind of solemn sacrifice! ”

Leekinia reprimanded, and the eunuch who fell to his knees could only tremble but did not dare to raise his head.

"But that's fine." Leekinia's face rose slightly and a smile came out, "Okay, then go and prepare, I should go up and take care of Caesar's flowers and plants, after all, this year has not been taken care of, wilted or there are other problems, Caesar will be angry!" ”

Just when Liquinia was dressed and ready to come out, as soon as the door was opened, there were waiters standing outside, and at the front of the waiters, a middle-aged man turned to look at Liquinia, his eyes were full of eagerness.

"What's the matter, Lord Smith." Li Quinia naturally recognized this middle-aged man, but at this time, Demisius came here without arguing with the nobles in the Senate, so there must be something important.

At this time, Likinia had already guessed a rough idea, she smiled slightly, and then asked Dermis Monk, "What?" Your Excellency Demesius, could it be said that Caesar had already arrived in Constantinople? ”

"Yes, Madam, Caesar has arrived, so I have come to urge Madame that Caesar has returned victorious, and our Senate has prepared preparations for the celebration of Caesar's return."

"So, I should be waiting for him outside the palace?" Liekinia speaks briskly, and it's not hard to see how excited she is at this point.

"Yes, yes, ma'am." As soon as Demiscius's words fell, Likinia had already flashed out of place.

"Hey, what are you doing in a daze, hurry up!"

Leekinia ran forward quickly with her skirt in her hand, and the maids behind her shouted, reminding Riekinia to slow down and not hurt herself.

How could Liekinia listen to them, she was like a cheerful swallow at this moment, so happy that she almost flew up.

"Hurry, hurry, what are you waiting for?" Richia kept urging, she came to the gate of the palace, and the guards pushed the gate open for her, and before she saw her, she heard her voice first, and stood on a high place, and was greeted by deafening cheers.

On the Place Augustus, there was a sea of people, a large number of citizens crowded here, everyone was looking at the huge triumphal arch on the street opposite the palace, everyone was nervously waiting, waiting for Augustus's return, Licchia also clasped her hands, all looking at the triumphal arch in front of her expectantly.
