Chapter 579: Worries

"Caesar, no, Luca, I saw the obvious difference in Jovian's expression. He didn't seem to be willing to see you help your compatriots in Western Rome."

Luca did not answer Andrew's question immediately, but watched Jovian's reflection gradually disappear in front of the door. Then he breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, untied the belt around his waist, and put the crown aside.

It seemed as if he did not want too many people to see his relaxed and comfortable appearance without any dignity, an action he rarely showed in front of the world when he truly became Augustus.

"It's not his fault. As you and I have seen here, the elder nobles are not optimistic about the feud between Attila and Ravenna, or they are taking a wait-and-see attitude. The two sides are not on the same page on this issue, and it cannot be forced."

"So, you think the Senate nobles will not stand on your side, or the Athenian nobles among them are still resentful of your actions in fighting Attila. If this action is really successful, everything will be fine for God's sake, but what if it fails? You will definitely not be able to bear the disappointment of your people."

"This is really bad news, at least when all this hasn't happened yet, Andrew, my dear friend, why did you back out in advance?"

"I am worried about you, Caesar. You know, I also really want to see you once again overcome all opposition and turn the tide, because Quinta is still in Milan, and I can't abandon her."

Andrew said this with great courage. After all, supporting Augustus to send troops just to protect his woman always sounded so pale and powerless, and it would make people feel ridiculous. "Besides, this is to help Valentinian. Now Valentinian hates you Caesar to the core. He will not remember your kindness. On the contrary, he will definitely curse you behind your back and damage your reputation."

As he spoke, Andrew fell into a dilemma. Whether to help or not became a fatal problem at this time.

"That's why, Andrew, even when we are strong, we cannot forget our friends in faraway places who may be in danger at any time, even if they can't get any good from them." Luga stepped forward and patted Andrew's shoulder, signaling him to cheer up.

In the evening, Luca met with the Privy Councilor Demisius. Luca admired Demisius very much because he was not only a philosopher but also a royal orator.

"Is there anything I can help you with, Caesar?" This was the first thing Demisi said when he came in.

"Oh, of course, loyal man, come on, sit closer so we can talk it over."

"Caesar, if you have anything to say, just tell me to do it." Demisius bowed again and again and was very respectful to Luca, which made Luca feel a little embarrassed. After all, although the man in front of him was still young, he was so enthusiastic that he felt embarrassed to order him around.

"As you have seen and heard in the Senate, Demisius," Luca returned to the point. "Regarding the Greater Greece region, I have indeed done some very, um, unacceptable and impolite things. So, I hope that Your Excellency can think of a solution. After all, I don't want to offend my wallet."

"I understand, I understand, Caesar." Demisius nodded repeatedly, "We have all heard about what Caesar did in Athens at that time. Of course, that incident really hurt the nobles' hearts."

"So I need you, my privy minister." Luca came closer and held Demisiu's hand tightly, and then said: "Go, Your Excellency should know what you can do."

Just as Luca said this, he let go of his hand, and a small gold cross appeared in Demisius's hand. Although the cross was small, it was inlaid with gems and looked very valuable.

"I understand, Caesar, leave it to me." Demisius nodded repeatedly, then stood up and walked out.

"Oh? Do you want to solve your worries before you set off?" He heard the voice before he saw the person. Lu Jia was attracted by the female voice, raised his head, and saw Li Jinia appearing outside the door.

"So you have been eavesdropping at the door. How despicable!" Luga cursed angrily, but he did not look angry. Compared to cursing, this was more like a sarcastic joke.

"Why, you don't welcome me?"

Likinia deliberately frowned and looked at Luga, but she didn't stop walking closer and closer to Luga until she came in front of him. She stretched out her hand and lifted Luga's chin with a charming smile, "Why, can't I know about this?"

"Perhaps, my sister, this is, after all, a man's business."

"Men's things?"

Liginia was not shy at all, and she became more and more arrogant since she returned to Constantinople. She sat directly on Luca's thighs. Although Luca showed a little discomfort at that moment, that expression could even be said to be angry, but Luca quickly concealed his expression that should not have been there, and replaced it with the enjoyment that Liginia wanted to see.

"You really surprised me, Likinia, you are such an ambitious woman."

"Oh, really? My God, you are the first man to praise me with this word." Likinia smiled, staring at Luca with her eyes fixed, looking very proud, as if everything was under her control. She smiled more and more charmingly, leaning down, as if she was taking advantage of Luca. "I want to see, or hear, what benefits does it bring to me from your praise, Caesar?"

"You are really becoming more and more charming." Seeing Li Jiniya being so shameless, Luga naturally couldn't stand it after such a long time.

Luka raised his head, smiling, looking at Likinia fearlessly, at least he was not inferior to her in momentum. She was so presumptuous, but Luka didn't seem to be afraid. He leaned close to Likinia's ear and said to her, "Don't forget, the maids behind you are watching. If it gets out, it will be bad for you and me."

"But if you marry me, isn't that the natural thing?" Licinia looked at Luca, held his chin with her hand, and continued: "Then the question is, you, the great Caesar, when are you going to marry me, just like Placidia assisting Constantius."

"It seems that Constantius didn't live long." Luca smiled and continued, "Don't you want to see your daughter? Poor Eudolia, you haven't felt the love of your mother yet."

"Don't lie to me again." When Likinia mentioned Eudolia, her face changed immediately. She grabbed Luca's right hand and glared at him. "I have been waiting, just like praying for God's grace."

"Okay, but you have to serve me and not make me feel insecure, otherwise I will kill you." Luga looked straight at Likinia, his eyes full of pride.

"Haha, okay!" Li Jiniya's expression changed again.

At this time, Luca laughed, and it was a strange laugh.
