Chapter 27: Isis's Blessing (1)

"I foresee that there will inevitably be a fierce dispute about my funeral." - Alexander's death

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Seeing her look so serious, Li Bida immediately turned around and said, "Karabis told Karabiya that I still like the woman I was with me at that time."

"Don't mention Porty!" Adiana said quietly. Although this made her feel a little relieved, she still did not respond to a complete forgiveness. She knew that even then, before she was actually with him, the other party had already had a different woman.

Then he paused, Adiana smiled and said, "I remember that girl. She was following you in the Acropolis of Ponte Cabien. She was your illegitimate daughter, right?"

"Don't make the words so ugly!" Li Bida's tone was a little warm and angry.

At this moment, Adiana was not as aggressive as before. She just muttered in her heart, "Isn't it the children I have with, aren't they just illegitimate?", and then invited Li Bida and her entourage to have a small gathering in her residence in the palace because she had some official duties and needed to discuss with the financial officer about the turbulent situation in Syria after Crassus's death.

Adiana's other palace is very elegant. In the middle of the courtyard is a rectangular reservoir with illuminated candles. There are some trellis floating in the pool. The dining table and couch are at the end of the pool. Queen Ubertnia sat on it in a manner. Because the banquet had ended in the palace hall, she just asked the servants to put some vegetables and precious wine on it. On the other end, Li Bida came with the guards, and they were also a group of black warriors, which disappointed Adiana. Then she saw Neko following the man with her brown hair and facial features. It obviously belonged to another woman, but she still

He smiled brightly and politely, lifted his hand slightly and stretched it out, meaning that Neko sat beside her. Neko opened his mouth wide and was stunned by Adianna's beauty and temperament. She had been a deer growing in the wilderness before, but she was still hesitant. She slowly moved to her father's back, and Alp grabbed the door and glanced vigilantly at the chef and slave who were coming and going, while Mattia held the salute, stood consciously under an evergreen pine tree, not daring to look at the queen opposite him. Because he had seen in person how the commander-in-chief was loyal to her, it was hard for the two of them to pretend to meet by chance at the banquet.

Seeing Niko's reaction, Adiana was a little discouraged. She made a gesture and invited Li Bida to sit down.

Li Bida sat down, but carefully used his hands to block Neko beside the bed. He asked his daughter to stand and not move around. After the wine came, Adianna asked Neko sweetly whether she could drink some light wine mixed with water or pineapple wine with a sweet voice.

"She is not yet of drinking." Li Bida answered on his behalf.

Adianna put the wine glass heavily on the table, which meant she was very angry. "I didn't expect that when we met, do we need this kind of show? Guards, weapons, and the same appearance, and suspicion in the air." After that, she took out a small box, and then used her slender fingers to pick out two silver-plated chopsticks, which opened Niko's eyes wide open. She saw the beautiful queen with her own eyes, and used this pair of things to clamp nuts and lily flowers and leaves as skillfully as acrobatic. She placed it gracefully into her lips and teeth, like a beautiful music, just like the sound of the choir she accompanied her father to listen to in the city of Tegrasetta. Ethereal and beautiful, as if it was a small flute made of reeds.

She can still be so beautiful and charming when eating. In her impression, whether it is tribe or outsiders, most people do not distinguish between men and women when eating. Even the musicians in the choir are not immune to the habit of eating. They always grab hands, pound with their knives, and even take a break from their busy schedules to rub their noses.

When Li Bida saw this scene, "Karabia" was using his professor's chopsticks to dine, and the gentle old feelings in his heart surged up. He asked Niko to sit down next to him, and then said a few thoughtful words to Adiana, and asked her if she really had something to discuss with her.

"Of course..." Adiana put down her chopsticks, and then she saw Niko staring at the thing with a round eyes, and handed it over with a smile, and then said in a sarcastic tone, "Try it, of course, don't worry about anything unless I want to poison myself. Your father is too strict with you. I remember when I was in Pontikabien, you were supervising me with a dagger."

Then she saw that Li Bida was a little embarrassed and turned to the topic, "The bastard born by Minand and Stratonics, the bastard named Fanabissis, has been accused of being the heir of the Kingdom of Bosphorus, and is actually claimed to be the heir of my father's empire, claiming to have the power to annex my throne."

"What are you going to do?"

"No need to say anything, I also declared the inheritance of Bosphorus. Now I heard that your Syrian governor, Crasso, is dead. I have been observing the situation of your dirty and greedy republic. If nothing unexpected happens, Crasso will die, not far from the day of the civil war." Adianna did not have any makeup tonight, and her fair and slender neck was still on the wide shirt.

"You guessed it right, it's indeed Karabiya. And the civil war will last for a long time. What you mean is that once the chaos breaks out in the Republic, the war between you and the Minander couple will inevitably be avoided."

"This is naturally. When the lions start to compete for the throne, no one cares about the biting between the wolfdogs." Adiana put his hands on his jaw and replied clearly, "Of course, you don't have to worry about me. I just need your help. In military terms, I can defeat the country on the other side of the Eukxing Sea alone. This bastard, Minand, is just the governor of the Copper Shield Army, and Stratonis is just the daughter of the lowly musician. How could they be my opponent?"

"But - I'm more concerned about the battle in Rome than here." Li Bida pushed the plate forward, then poured the leftovers under his feet, and began to raise his hand to pray to the ancestors. "But it doesn't prevent us from continuing to work together. Karabis and Karabiya should still be together, right?"

"You're really becoming more and more like a Roman." Adianna commented unexplainedly, "but you're still a bat that is neither a bird nor a beast."

After hearing this comment, Li Bida was a little depressed, as if he was the most in touch in his heart. In essence, if someone like him had another existence in this era or in a corner of the world, they would be like lonely stars in the vast dark night, "more and more like Romans" just a shell. He did a lot of things, some were good and some were bad, all of them hoped to brighten themselves in this dark night and leave some trajectory worth learning. Even if he came to the Huns at that time, he would probably be "more more like a Huns."
