Chapter 706: Fight for

"Likinia!"

Luca called out to Likinia, then he stood up, crouched a few steps, and came to Likinia. He stared at her with his eyes fixed on her. "You must be hiding something from me, but you're afraid that not telling me will lead to greater disagreements."

"Silence will be seen as weakness!"

Facing Luca's almost judgmental gaze, Licinia was not at all cowardly. Her eyes were full of determination, and she didn't even feel that her words would offend Augustus, who stood up from the blood.

"You know that would be offensive to me."

"But this is my protection for you!" Li Jinia's eyes were flashing with a faint bright light.

"I understand, I understand, I can understand everything you are thinking now." Luca turned around, "If I die, then you and Flavius ​​will not be spared. You rely on me very much, just like you relied on your father Theodosius."

"Good, very good!" Liginia turned her head away stubbornly. "At least you can still understand your current situation, Caesar. You are like a tree, standing on the fertile soil of the Flavian Palace in Constantinople, you are flourishing and bearing abundant fruits."

"Are you talking about Eudoria and Leo again?"

"Yes, you can say that, including Adnus, he is also your child."

"I never thought you would be so generous." Luca couldn't help but smile when he heard this. "I always thought that girls from noble families only cared about others, and this was especially true for Augustus' daughter. But you have successfully overturned my view, at least towards Adnus. You always surprise me."

Likinia spread her hands, her expression showing a completely indifferent look, "At least you should understand that girls from noble families are stronger because we have accepted everything that ordinary people have never accepted."

"Let me guess, it's gold running through your veins?"

"Haha!" Liginiya covered her mouth, but still couldn't hide her laughter, "You are so funny, Caesar."

In the Golden Horn of Constantinople, Cecilius and his party hurriedly boarded the return ship under the cover of night. They would leave the Golden Horn and enter the Aegean Sea, and go along the western coast of Asia Minor to Kasus in southern Cappadocia, land there and return to Ankara along the Via Valais, where they would take charge and coordinate and command everything.

The guarding soldiers lowered the intercepting chains, and the dozen or so ships carrying Cecilius slowly sailed out of the Golden Horn.

"Andrew is a complete idiot!" Standing on the bow, Cecilius looked at the darkness in front of him and couldn't help shaking his head and sighing, "He is too hesitant. He is totally lacking the decisiveness that a man who can accomplish great things should have. He is so stupid that he even naively thought that I urgently needed his strength. He is just a chess piece, playing a role in the game. But he thinks too highly of himself, even on an equal footing with me, so he brought disaster upon himself. Poor guy."

Of course, Cecilius knew that Andrew was arrested by John Antiochus, which accelerated his plan to leave Constantinople. After all, things here were slowly moving forward under the secret promotion of Licinia, and an invisible bloody storm was slowly unfolding like the curtain of a drama.

"The Flavian Palace is a magnificent creation, recording the glory of the Greeks since Constantine." Licinia poured a glass of wine for Luca first, and then poured herself a glass. "But as you can see, Caesar, this palace is far more magnificent than the one in Rome. This is where Augustus should live."

"As Augustus, building a palace seems to be something that every Caesar would do."

"After all, no one is immortal, Caesar." Licinia said meaningfully: "As Augustus, he always wanted something to let future generations remember him, such as a triumphal arch, a monument, or even his statue, to tell future generations about his life or a glorious episode."

Licinia sighed softly when she said this. "The Flavian Palace is like a castle protecting you. You are like a tree or a god, worshipped by the world, and your authority is always intimidating the world. But Caesar, you must not forget that there are as many killers as there are admirers. They hide in the dark, licking their blades, wanting to slit your throat and drink your blood."

"presumptuous!"

"Please forgive me, Caesar." Liginia looked at Luca seriously, "I am very worried about your health. After all, the children are still young."

"I will live well!" Luca looked at Liginia with a wry smile. He could see the worry on Liginia's face. After all, he had become the head of the most prominent family at the moment, Augustus of the Empire.

"I can understand your concerns. After all, I made Flavius ​​bleed to death when we attacked Constantinople. After all, anything could trigger the two hostile parties to start a killing spree." Luca said, stretching out his hand and placing it on the back of Licinia's hand, gently stroking it as if to comfort her.

"This is a tragedy, and all the internal turmoil has untold tragedies."

"Compared to the last time, I am more afraid of the next time, Caesar." Liginia reached out and picked up Luca's hand and pressed it tightly against her face, kissing it from time to time. "I hope you can understand everything I have done for you and for Flavius. A new storm is brewing, and we must take the initiative in it."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"I understand." Luca reached out and held Likinia's face with both hands. "We must open our eyes and distinguish who among the nobles and courtiers are hostile."

"I will eradicate all of this for you!" Li Jinia looked at Luca firmly, as if she saw an unimaginable flame in her eyes. What could make her so determined, so determined that she was inhumane?

"My God, you look really scary right now." Luka sighed, "You must have done something to say that."

In response to Luca's question, Liginia just smiled, but her smile was as cold as the frozen river surface, with a biting cold wind blowing from time to time.

"In order to maintain Caesar and the noble Flavius ​​family's absolute rule over Rome and Constantinople, we must eliminate those who are no longer loyal to Flavius ​​and Caesar!" John Antiochus looked at the crowd of people behind him, he said in a deep voice, and turned around to look at those guys who were given the above titles.

They were all people close to Cissades, especially in Constantinople, in Augustus' absence.
