Chapter 502: Worries

After leaving Ravenna, Luca hurried back to his villa in Milan after thinking about it. Here, Sebastianus became Maximus's teacher, and the two of them, one old and one young, got along very happily.

Luca stood quietly outside the door, quietly watching them playing together. To Luca's surprise, Sebastianus actually liked children very much. For this lonely man who was fighting for revenge because of political changes, perhaps only the little Maximus in front of him could make him forget the hatred he was carrying.

Maximus had already learned basic Latin vocabulary, and the two of them communicated easily. Sebastianus taught Maximus very patiently, and pointed to the painting on the wall to teach Maximus the word "father".

Luca looked at the painting on the wall. The painting showed a fully armed Roman general holding an eagle flag and calling on the soldiers behind him, while the obviously shorter barbarians who were killed by him in seconds fled in all directions and were in disarray.

"That's your father!" Sebastianus pointed at the Roman general holding an eagle flag on the wall and said to the young Maximus, but Maximus could not understand. His eyes were full of confusion. Who could have thought that the so-called "father" was just a painting on the wall and was so unreal.

For some reason, Luca, who was hiding outside, actually began to be jealous of Sebastianus. He unknowingly envied such an ordinary life, just like what he had always dreamed of, living an ordinary life with the woman he loved and who loved him, but the current situation forced him to give up everything he wanted.

"I can't let other people know they are here!" Luca said to himself secretly and turned to leave. After all, he had too many enemies now, just like the movie "Gladiator" he saw at that time. Even if he commanded thousands of troops, in the end he couldn't even protect his family. So what was the point of having so much reputation?

The best way to protect them now is to stay away from them, keep a certain distance from them, so that you have no weaknesses, even if Maximus doesn't know that he is his biological father!

Luca thought to himself and couldn't help but take one last look at Maximus. He wanted to turn around and leave, but he didn't expect to bump into Tenaia.

Fortunately, Luga was quick enough to cover Tenaia's mouth, so as not to make any noise that would alarm others.

"Oh my God, why are you here without even saying hello to me?" Tenaia looked at Luga in confusion, and then was pulled to a deserted place by Luga.

"What are you doing? Why are you so sneaky!" Tenaia was very surprised and didn't know why Luga was so nervous.

"I don't understand why either." Luga held Tenaya's arms tightly with both hands, frowned, and said to Tenaya: "I always have a bad feeling."

"What? What are you talking about?" Tenaia looked at Luga seriously and kept complaining, "You finally came back after such a long time, but you didn't tell anyone and just stood at the door like a thief. What do you mean by doing this?"

"No, I don't have any other ideas!" Seeing that Tenaya was a little excited, Luga quickly stretched his head and kissed Tenaya's lips like a dragonfly touching the water.

"Oh!" Tenaia sighed softly, with a tangled expression on her face, as if asking: "Why just now?"

"My dear, you have to listen to me!" Luca said solemnly: "I must ensure your safety, so I can't stay here. I have some important things that need me to deal with."

"What's the important matter!" Tenaia raised her head and stared into Luga's eyes, as if questioning.

"No! Nothing!" Luka didn't know what to say, and he didn't understand what he was avoiding. "Listen, there are some things I may have to tell you. I'm in a lot of trouble now, Tenaia!" Luka kept shaking his head at Tenaia and said, "Many people want to kill me because I have threatened them, but now they haven't succeeded, so I have to ensure your safety."

"What's going on?" Tenaia was frightened by Luga's sudden seriousness. She stared at Luga with wide eyes.

"That's it. Oh, I can't explain it to you anyway!" Luca was upset when he thought of what Likinia said to him at that time. So many things piled up together can really make a person breathless, let alone such a serious problem.

"So where should we go?" Tenaia looked a little flustered, at least because of Maximus, her beloved son.

"Let's go to Nar's side." Lucas thought about it and finally decided that it was safer there. At least it was far away from any dangerous factors and was closest to his sphere of influence. As long as there was a problem, he would be able to dispatch troops to protect it in the shortest time.

"Okay, I'll listen to you!" Tenaia nodded heavily. It seemed that she obeyed Luga very much. This made Luga feel a little relieved. At least Maximus could grow up under his protection. He just hoped that he could live to that moment!

Luca didn't have much time to stay, even if it was just a short while to live such a peaceful life. He had to lead his army northward, and after two months of trekking along the road, he finally arrived at the Rhine River.

At this time in Agrippina, there were smoke and fire everywhere. There were basically no pedestrians on the roads that stretched in all directions, and there were no people in the villages along the way. There were also traces of fire and looting.

"It seems that the migration of barbarians is getting worse!" Andrew said as he tightened his cloak and shivered. "Today is really strange. It should have been snowing a long time ago, so why is it still so cold?"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"The priest said that it was because of Attila's arrival!" Sebastianus said slowly, "Since Attila's fame spread everywhere, the weather has become colder. The priest said that this is God's warning to us. It is because the believers' faith in God is no longer pure, so God is displeased and released the devil, Attila. He is God's whip, whipping all the impious and impure believers."

"It's all meaningless talk!" Luka turned around and said, "These things are just talk, don't take them seriously!"

In Agrippina, it was Alessio who greeted Luca and his friends. It had been years since they had seen their old friends, and the group happily hugged each other.

To everyone's surprise, Aresio took off his mask and grew a beard. It seemed that he had accepted his new self.
