Chapter 726 Biological Father
"Why did you think of coming here at this time?" After a brief hug, Leo frowned and looked at Luca, saying, "You may not know how dissatisfied the nobles here are with you. They are insulting you in their dreams now."
"I already knew all this, papa." Luca said with a smile, "The Vandals' tribute is so little, and with so many people sharing it, no one can get what they expect. It is better to concentrate it and use it where it should be given. Instead of letting it be wasted, we should not give it to God, so that God can also see our loyalty to him."
"You are really embarrassed to do this." Leo shrugged. "I don't know what I should do to be worthy of your kindness, Caesar. You are such a kind and infinitely loyal guy to God."
"So."
Then, Leo looked around and took a look at the various sculptures and murals of gods in the Pantheon. Whether it was Zeus or Harris, he knew them all and was familiar with their myths and legends. He was still curious why Luca didn't want to go to the church, but instead visited him here.
"I have a question that I have to wonder about." Leo retracted his gaze from the gods and cast it on Luca. "You also know, Caesar, that I am a devout and loyal Christian, but you brought me to this heretical land. For God's sake, you must give me an explanation."
"Oh, of course, papa!" Luka nodded repeatedly. He crossed his fingers, pursed his lips, lowered his head, and said thoughtfully, "Of course, this is not a good thing. Just like the gods standing in it, they are watching us. Similarly, they are also witnessing some of my very embarrassing past events. It would be fine if I didn't admit it, but the condemnation of my conscience forced me to face such things, even if I would be infamous for it."
"So you plan to invite me here just to see you confess?" Leo quickly understood what Luca meant. He turned around, and with a slight laugh, he slowly walked to a step and sat down. Then he patted the floor beside him and signaled Luca, "Come on, sit here, let me listen to what sins the Roman hero committed?"
"This will definitely shock you!" Luca said confidently.
"Why did Caesar come to me?"
Along the way, Eudolia couldn't resist her curiosity, so she plucked up her courage, lifted the curtain of the carriage, stuck her head out and asked Marenius.
But Marenius did not answer her, but hurried on with the carriage, fearing that he might delay anything.
The group hurried to the entrance of the Pantheon, which was already filled with guards. They were guarding the Pantheon with shields and spears in hand, and did not allow any civilians or strangers to approach.
"We're here, Your Highness!" Marenius was now beside the carriage, speaking coldly to Eudolia in it.
"Okay, okay!" Eudolia responded helplessly. She jumped off the carriage in a hurry and carefully arranged her clothes. She also complained: "Oh my God, look, you rushed me so much that I didn't even put on the clothes I should wear to meet Caesar!"
"Caesar won't care what you wear!"
Marenius's rebuttal was even more sharp, which immediately left Eudolia speechless. She could only raise her head and glare at Marenius fiercely. Marenius just straightened his chest and deliberately avoided looking at the noble princess to avoid suffering more dissatisfaction.
Eudolia lifted her skirt and climbed the stairs to the interior of the Pantheon. This place had been abandoned for some time. Perhaps because of Caesar's arrival, some servants were here to sweep the dust off the stone slabs, at least making it look like a popular place.
When she arrived at the main hall of the Pantheon, Eudolia saw Luca standing in the center of the hall with his back to her. He was wearing a wolfskin cape, a purple cloak embroidered with golden black ear patterns, and a golden laurel crown on his head, looking like a king.
"Caesar."
Eudoria hesitated for a moment, then began to call out.
The voice made Luca stunned for a moment, then he turned around and looked at Eudoria.
After not seeing each other for such a long time, the moment the two looked at each other, it was as if the air had frozen. Eudolia took a deep breath, and the feeling when she saw Luca seemed to make her unable to breathe. She opened her eyes wide and stood there like a statue.
"Long time no see, Eudoria."
Completely different from Eudolia, Luca seemed much calmer. He smiled, looked at Eudolia, and called softly, which was like a key to open the door of her heart and saved Eudolia from her daze.
"Oh, oh, yes, yes!" Eudolia was speechless for a moment, her heart pounding, and she didn't know how to express her feelings for a moment. She hurriedly saluted Luga, just like she had reviewed in the morning.
"You really have received a good education." Seeing Eudolia salute, Luca's smile revealed relief. "Even I, as Augustus, feel inferior to you. I have to admit with shame that I am far inferior to you."
"Thank you, Caesar." Eudolia laughed. She looked up at Luca and couldn't help saying, "You are really good at making girls happy. No wonder my mother misses you so much."
"Yes, and it also makes Valentinian particularly resentful of me." Luca turned around and scratched his head, as if he was thinking hard about what countermeasures to come next.
"Listen, Eudolia." Luca looked up, "I know that you are old enough to get married. According to them, you are going to marry that Vandal boy, Huneric."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"That's what my father meant," Eudolia replied. "He gave me enough time to get to know Huneric, and we get along well with each other. I think I can accept this wedding as long as my father is willing."
"But what if your father doesn't want to?"
"What did you say?"
"I say," Luca looked at Eudolia seriously, "your father doesn't want to see you marry Huneric!"
"What does this mean?" Eudolia was obviously confused by Luca. She didn't even understand why Luca said that.
At this time, Luca was also in a dilemma. Should he confess everything to her directly or avoid the topic? But even if he avoided the topic, what new topic could he have?
"Listen, Eudolia." Luga thought about it again and again, and had to admit that such words were like confessing to a girl he liked, but the feeling of uncertainty in his heart was even stronger. Luga was speechless several times, he really didn't know how to be honest.
"Your mother, yes, your mother misses you very much. Now there are many things happening in the palace that make it difficult for her to be distracted. However, her longing for you is increasing day by day, so she entrusted me to come here and take you back!" Luga stammered and finally thought of a suitable reason.
