Chapter 721 Eudoria

Back in the bedroom, Likinia was sitting on a chair in front of the bed, as if she was a statue, motionless.

Luga stood at the door and looked at Likinia. He was silent, just breathing slightly, which sounded more like sighs.

Such movement attracted Likinia's attention. She raised her head and looked at Luga with a dull look in her eyes.

"He's gone?" Likinia was silent for a while, but still asked Luga in a lazy tone.

"Yeah." Luga nodded slightly, then sat down opposite Likinia.

"Ha!" Likinia stroked her hair and uttered a cold laugh similar to a sigh. After a moment, she continued to say to Luga: "You didn't kill him after all."

"But he has nothing left." Luca forced an explanation. "As you can see, he has no one to rely on except his family. He has nothing, no status, no money. He is just a lonely man and can no longer be a threat to us."

Likinia stared at Luga with her eyes wide open, and was silent for a long time without saying a word.

She probably had nothing to say. Li Jiniya was polishing the silver wine glass in her hand, with her head lowered and her lips tightly pursed. She seemed to be feeling rich inside but had nothing to say.

"Okay, that's fine. I'll just treat him as dead. He's dead, so I won't pursue the matter any further!"

"Where's Leo?"

"He was taken to be fed. When he was full, he fell asleep." Li Jiniya finally had a reason to speak. She lowered her head and said slowly, "What a carefree child. Sometimes I really envy him. He alternates between feeding and sleeping every day. He doesn't have any thoughts or worries. But his crying is too loud. He will definitely be an extraordinary general when he grows up."

"But these are problems that must be accepted in life." Luga walked over and sat opposite Likinia. Looking at Likinia's melancholy eyes, he seemed to understand something.

"I guess you must be wondering when you can see Eudoria again."

When Eudoria was mentioned, Likinia's eyes seemed to flash with light. She raised her head and looked at Luga, her eyes full of surprise and expectation.

But the light was as fleeting as a meteor across the night sky and soon disappeared from Likinia's eyes.

"I seem to notice your uneasiness." Luga's face slightly raised. This was the only expression he could use to comfort Likinia.

"You always break your promises." Likinia was a little angry, and she complained to Luga.

"I understand what you mean. It's like you've long been accustomed to me lying to you." Luka sighed softly, "Actually, I don't like lying."

"So..."

"I will definitely reunite you and your child." Luca clasped his hands tightly against his chest and said to Likinia, "I will set off within the next few days and bring Eudolia back as agreed. This is my responsibility as her father. Of course, this responsibility that should be fulfilled comes too late, and I hope it won't be too late."

"Oh my God, has God changed your mind?" Likinia finally smiled. She looked at Luca intently and continued, "Have you also thought about the importance of family? I mean, a complete family, with only you, me and our child."

"Perhaps."

Luga smiled bitterly, and a sense of sadness arose in his heart. He knew what this trip meant. After all, he really didn't know how to satisfy Likinia's beautiful and extravagant wishes.

"However." Li Jinia changed the subject and asked with some concern: "Is your current physical condition really okay? I mean, do you have any solution or have you arranged someone to handle this matter? Then can that person guarantee Eudoria's safety?"

Liginia was still worried about Luca's current physical condition. After all, this man was the pillar of Flavius, and he was not someone who could fall down so easily.

"I decided to go there myself." Luca explained to Likinia with a smile, "And taking my daughter back is what a father should and must do. This is a solemn moment. Maybe I can get Eudoria's forgiveness. I believe she will definitely forgive me. This is also my wish, really, really, really!"

A trace of worry flashed across Likinia's face. Just as she said, with Luca's current physical condition, how could he withstand such a long journey.

"You can't do this. This isn't something you have to do yourself. You can arrange for a loyal and reliable servant to do it. The most important thing for you now is to take care of your health! As for Eudoria, I think she will understand and forgive you after spending some time with you!"

"Maybe." Lu Jia lowered his head. He was still so stubborn and obstinate. "Maybe she will understand me only after she witnesses my sincerity with her own eyes."

Unlike Licinia, Luca knew his own body very well, and he now understood even better what he should and should not do at this moment. He had suffered a lot in the past, and this feeling was unprecedented, which filled his heart with more pessimistic and negative emotions. This was also good, at least it made him more determined about what he should do, instead of devoting himself to becoming another Theodosius in the second half of his life.

When he woke up early in the morning, while Likinia was still asleep, Luca had already gotten up.

Looking at the colorful sunlight shining through the glass, Luca stood by the bed and turned around to look at Likinia's handsome face. All this was the place that made him so nostalgic, but he didn't want to look back.

He lowered his head, tightly holding a piece of parchment covered with words in his hand. This was the result of his sleepless night. He folded it in half and quietly placed it on Likinia's dressing table.

When he went out, the maid helped him put on his armor. She wouldn't have imagined that in just over three years, the armor Luka used to wear had become larger. One could imagine how thin he was now.

Even so, Luka insisted on putting on the armor.

"Look, this armor has become so loose after I took it off for such a long time." He seemed to be talking to himself, turning his head and looking at Malenius with a smile, "But this does not affect my obsession with this armor. After all, although it doesn't fit me anymore, it can still give me infinite courage, just like the arrogant me at the beginning."

Before leaving, Luca made the sign of the cross on his chest and said to himself, "God bless you!"

On his way, he passed by Tenaia's bedroom. Tenaia had already known Luca's intention, so she brought Adnus to the door, waiting for Luca's carriage.

The carriage stopped and Luga leaned out of the window and looked at Tenaia.

"If you are really unhappy here, then go to this place!" Luga said, handing out a note, but Tenaia did not open it.

"I don't have much time left." Luca smiled bitterly, "But we will meet again. I promise you, Tenaia, God is right. We are all sinners. We need to atone our sins and long for forgiveness. But we just need a chance. I'm afraid this is the last chance."

Tenaia stared at Luga blankly. She seemed to be still immersed in what Luga had just said. She could not understand what Luga meant. Adnus widened his eyes and waved his hand shyly at Luga, as a farewell.

"Goodbye, then!"

Luca smiled at Tenaia and then closed the curtains.

The carriage started slowly, along the familiar streets, heading west towards the majestic city gate of Constantinople.
