Chapter 662 Wedding

After Luca finished explaining the expansion to the Vatican staff, he looked up at the middle of the stairs. There was no one there. Only the court officials looked at each other and looked down at him from time to time with worried faces.

By this time Luca already knew what was going on. He entrusted Tenaia and Maximus to Andrew's care, and kept looking back amid the cheers of the citizens of Constantinople.

"Caesar, Caesar"

Along the way, the guards kept turning back and saluted Luca.

"Where's Likinia? Likinia!"

As Luca walked, he asked the soldiers who were guarding and patrolling here.

Following the guidance of the guards, Luga came all the way to the top of the palace. In the garden, Luga saw them sitting where they used to rest.

Li Jinia's expression was indeed very ugly. Even though the maid could raise her voice to remind Li Jinia, this stubborn woman did not even glance at her.

Luga looked at Likinia who deliberately turned her back to him. He hesitated for a moment, as if he had been thinking for a while and organizing his words. Then, he walked slowly behind Likinia.

"I seem to know clearly what you are dissatisfied with." Luga came in front of Likinia, sat down opposite her, and stared at Likinia with his eyes fixed.

"Caesar, great Caesar, you are really reckless in challenging everything!" Liginia sneered and rolled her eyes at Luca. "Dear brother, I think you have forgotten your identity. Flavius ​​is a nobleman. Nobles and commoners cannot stand on the same footing. I will not allow you to be so presumptuous, even if you are Augustus!"

"Sorry, sorry!" Luka didn't come here to quarrel, "I just came to explain to you."

"Oh, my God?" Liginia didn't seem to want to talk to Luca. She spread her hands and looked like she was smiling. It was hard to imagine how much damage Luca's behavior had done to her. After all, she stubbornly believed that Luca did it on purpose to hurt her and to retaliate for what she had done in the past. "Caesar, I have reminded you more than once that you are a noble and should keep your distance from the common people. It seems that you did not listen and brought shame to the entire Flavius ​​family."

Luca didn't pay too much attention to Likinia's reminder. He smiled at Likinia and then waved to the maid.

The maid understood, then brought a jug of wine to the table and carefully filled the glasses for both of them.

"You know it, but you deliberately don't say it. I can see that." Luga picked up the silver wine glass, raised it to Likinia, and then drank the wine in the glass.

"It is said that Attila entertained all the nobles in his palace. The tableware used by the nobles were made of gold and silver, but Attila was completely different from them." Luga held the wine glass and shook it in front of Liginia, deliberately attracting Liginia's attention.

"Oh, really?" Likinia rolled her eyes at Luca, then reached out to pick up the wine glass and looked at Luca with cold eyes. She had no intention of forgiving Luca, but was very interested in the example Luca gave. "I don't believe that a barbarian can have more noble ideas than us?"

"Of course not, it's not what you think." Luga picked up the wine glass and the maid beside him quickly filled it with wine.

"Attila was never one to compete with others for wealth. Of course, he had plenty of gold and silver, but he never spared his gold and silver." Luca shook the silver wine glass in his hand, smiled, and placed the wine glass on the table intentionally or unintentionally. "He used wooden wine glasses and wooden tableware, just like the poor, and ate like a commoner. I used to think that becoming a rich man could change everything, but I found that I understood a lot of truths."

Seeing Likinia staring at Luga, Luga continued, "Now I understand that even if you use a gold or silver plate, the food you eat will not change. So it doesn't matter what kind of plate you use to eat the food."

"What does this have to do with this?" Liginia looked at Luca, with a hint of dissatisfaction in her words. "This does not change the fact that he is the king of the barbarians, nor does it change the fact that we are nobles and she is just a pariah. Even if we use the same tableware, we eat delicacies from the mountains and the sea, while they can only eat bread mixed with sawdust."

"There is no distinction between high and low. Just like a man who eats coarse bread, holding an iron sword or a spear, can still kill a noble who eats delicacies from the mountains and the sea and wears silk and satin. Death is fair."

"Ha, leave these words to that untouchable woman of yours." Likinia finally lost her patience. She stood up angrily and prepared to leave.

"I've said so much, but it's just this little bit!" At this time, Luca suddenly changed the subject, causing Likinia to stop.

At this time, Luca looked up at Liginia and said seriously: "I will marry you as Augusta."

Hearing this, Li Jinia turned around suddenly. Her face showed surprise, but in order to hide it, she quickly restrained her unconvincing expression and replaced it with a sneer, "Oh, I don't believe that there won't be any conditions here. Let me guess, are you warning me not to act rashly against that lowly woman and that illegitimate child?"

"I also want to marry Tenaia and let her become Augusta." Luca said this very calmly. He was like the calm surface of the water that could not be shaken by any storm.

"What?"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Li Jinia's eyes widened, her look clearly expressed surprise, and even more anger. She never expected Luca to say that, but when she thought about what Luca had said at that time, she suddenly understood.

Whether using gold and silver tableware or wooden tableware, it will not affect the taste of the food. Compared with Tenaia, Likinia is food served with gold and silver tableware, while Tenaia is just the opposite.

"You, you!" Liginia pointed at Luca, her body heaving with anger, "You actually put me in the same category as that pariah woman. Yes, yes, I forgot that you were also born a pariah. My father adopted you as his son, thinking that you would be able to take off that pariah's dirty coat, but you didn't think so. On the contrary, you were deeply proud of that coat. Damn it, damn it, why, why did they elect you as Augustus? Damn it, damn it!"

Liginia was so angry that her lips trembled and she was gasping for breath, but Luca just sat there and let her vent her anger.

"This is a fact you cannot change." Luca spoke slowly. His voice was as heavy as a bell. Every word was heart-piercing and overwhelming. "There are only two paths you can choose. One, marry me and become Augusta. I will defend your noble dignity and the purity of Flavius' bloodline to the death. Of course, the premise is that you must recognize Tenea's status. Two, you can choose to refuse. In that case, I will have to think carefully about your divorce from Valentinian. I can't guarantee that I won't send you back to Ravenna, so that you can get back on track and continue to maintain stability in Rome."

"You are threatening me." Likinia glared at Luga fiercely.

"You can think so, my sister, or my wife." Luca smiled, but there was a hint of cruelty in his smile. "I advise you not to have any inappropriate thoughts. After all, look up, Constantinople and the entire Eastern Rome are all under my command and my subjects. As for me, the only orthodox Augustus in Rome, my will will be the highest law!"
