Chapter 727 Biological Father
"Sure enough, there is a certain etiquette for each purpose." Eudolia pointed to the soldiers guarding the door and said to Luca, "Along the way, I saw your golden army and your eagle flag. It seems that you came here to bring me back, otherwise you would not have mobilized so many troops. I think if I or my father disagree, then you will definitely use the most direct method."
"You know what I mean, Eudolia." Luca lowered his voice and said to Eudolia coldly: "Of course, this is also your mother's will. You know this very well."
Luka took a step forward, and at the same time, Eudolia took a step back. Although she was smart, it didn't mean that Luka's momentum couldn't suppress her.
This was a butcher who had killed tens of thousands of barbarians. No matter what, the aura he exuded actually overshadowed Eudoria in terms of hiding and revealing.
"But my father said..."
"There is no so-called father here." Likinia wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Luga. She only heard Eudolia exclaim. She never thought that Luga would treat her like this.
"Okay, okay, since you don't trust me, I have to be honest with you, Eudolia." Luca kowtowed again, "I, I, damn it!"
Luca simply didn't have the courage to say these words. A sentence consisting of just a few words was so easy to write now, but it was so difficult.
"No matter what, I am acting according to your mother's wishes!" Luca acted like a father and shouted at Likinia, "This is your mother's idea, and mine as well. We must leave now without delay!"
"No!"
Eudoria, who was yelled at like that, actually showed her arrogance as a princess in front of Luga. She stared at Luga coldly and even raised her head to show her unyielding spirit.
"I will not go with you, even if there are twice as many people outside your door, I will not go with you. Also, my father, my father Valentinian, if you don't acknowledge him as my father, you are refusing to acknowledge my current status as a princess. You are slandering me, Caesar, I will not allow you to do this!"
After saying that, Eudolia turned around abruptly and walked out the door without looking back. The guards were all looking at Luca. After all, Eudolia was Luca's daughter, and her every move was not something that these nobles could control.
Everyone was struggling. They looked at Luga from time to time, hoping that Luga could give them some instructions, or at least let them know what they should do.
But Luca didn't give any orders in the end, which made everyone extremely embarrassed.
Everyone watched as Eudoria, the teenage girl, stormed out of the Pantheon. It all seemed like a dream, and every move here reminded Luca that everything had failed.
"She didn't seem to get anything useful out of it."
At this time, Leo's voice sounded behind Luca. Luca turned around and looked at Leo who was hiding behind the statue.
"She's still a child, she doesn't understand any of this. I tried to explain it to her, but..." Luca shrugged and spread his hands to explain everything to Leo.
"Oh, yes, yes, I saw it all with my own eyes. Yes, it all happened so quickly that it was over before people could even react." As Leo spoke, he took Luca to the stairs with the statue of Augustus Octavian in the center and slowly sat down.
At this time, many waiters ran out from nowhere, and they were busy cleaning up the mess. After all, they didn't know when the smooth marble floor was covered with wine stains.
Why the polytheism fell within Rome and was replaced by Christ may also contain more or less meaning. This is the Pantheon, a sacred place for the Romans who believed in the Olympian gods.
But how did the Romans treat this place? They brought in fine wine not as tribute to the gods but to drink it openly, bringing women picked up from some tavern, wearing fresh laurel wreaths, naked, holding wine glasses, and demonstrating the concentrated outburst of the most basic human desires under the witness of the gods.
"Look at these traces of debauchery!" Leo pointed at the wine stains and said to Luca, "This is not a place where we can have a good conversation. Besides, don't you think it's disrespectful to use this place as a place to talk to her? Although Eudoria is your daughter, she doesn't think so now."
"Yes, sometimes, I am indeed too anxious. After all, I haven't had time to think about all this." Luga spread his hands and smiled bitterly. All he showed was helplessness. He didn't know how to proceed to the next step.
"You won't just give up, Caesar!"
"How could it be!" Luca perked up at the mention of giving up. He raised his head abruptly, clenched his fists, and said solemnly, "All this is what I promised Liginia. Moreover, Eudolia is my daughter. I will not allow her to become a political pawn of Valentinian and marry that barbarian!"
"If you explain it to Eudolia in the same tone and attitude as now, maybe she will still stand here and stare at you doubtfully. She will definitely believe you."
"Ha, you are just making fun of me, papa!" Luca laughed dryly for a few times and finally calmed down. He looked at the sky outside the temple, his eyes filled with too many inexplicable things, "If I can bring her back and let her be with her mother, and then find an excellent and suitable noble boy for her, even if it is to let him inherit my position and become the next Augustus."
"You have changed, Caesar." Leo looked at Luca, his eyes filled with worry. "This is not like you. You are not so humane."
"oh?"

"You were a sharp spear then, just like the Lance of Longinus I gave you, but after these years, you turned into a shield and learned to protect. I really regret giving that shield to Aetius."
"Which shield?"
"Antony's Asylum." Leo said lightly. (Antony, one of the Five Good Emperors, built many welfare homes for orphans during his reign and did not cause wars. The Senate cast a shield for him, named "Asylum.") "You and Aetius are called the spear and shield of Rome. Now the shield is still strong, but the spear looks a little blunt."
"Maybe, maybe." Luca sighed softly, "You are laughing at me for conquering countless tribes and recovering large tracts of Roman land, but here I am, unable to even deal with a little girl."
Leo just looked at Luca and smiled meaningfully, then he slowly stood up and walked out the door.
Luca did not stop Leo. He thought that the Pope should have left by now. After all, this was Luca's own business.
"Oh, I forgot!" Leo walked to the door and turned around. At this time, there was a parchment letter in his hand. "This is given to me by a young man. He said that it must be handed to you, Caesar."
"Since even you trust him so much, I must take a good look at it." Looking at the letter, Luga nodded and smiled.
Leo handed it to Marenius beside him, and then walked out of the Pantheon without looking back.
