Chapter 3 Farewell to Turinus (Part 2)
At this time, my father came over, sat on the edge of the couch, and gently stroked Corinna's beautiful hair with his hands. "Turinus said in the letter that he doesn't like your braids, but my father likes it very much, because your hair is inherited from me, you are my most proud work of art, good girl. △↗"
"But now I even hate this hair. How unique it is on the streets of Rome. Those ladies called me 'Piano' and gave me this nickname. I felt very embarrassing, very, very embarrassing." Corinna sobbed at Yu.
"Don't believe those rumors. They are jealous of you. My good daughter. You don't know that Leodor is troubled by his fluffy hair like mama!" Hearing this, his daughter finally stopped sobbing. Li Bida caught her mind - this is true for young people, including Li Bida himself. In those green and unrestrained years, everyone wished to love them to death, and could not tell the difference between true love, friendship or carnality, as if they had to do it, but once the heat passed, there was only difficulty and responsibility, just like an ugly and hard reef after the ebb, standing barely in front of you, making people walk on it, bloody and at a loss.
In the end, there is only one way to escape, no, there is another way, that is to forget.
Li Bida is now trying to guide his daughter on this road. Seeing that his daughter no longer cried, he walked around a necklace made of forty-six turquoise, rubies and gold chains with his hands and gently shook it in front of his daughter, "Good girl, give you this. The cost of 30,000 dinars. But I am not trying to please you for the Tulinus matter. My father had no room for mediation in that matter. I was originally going to suppress it, but now the evidence is in front of him. The villain not only tried to murder your brother, but also slander you wantonly. You must know that if your brother dies and if you are verbally verbally, I will not have the motivation to survive. If my father dies, will you be happy, daughter?"
"No, no, I have also thought about the responsibility of the Emilius woman in these days. Since Turinus wants to harm our family, I have to see through him and cut off the old feelings."
"No, on the contrary, I am willing to fulfill you and Tulinus." This answer was beyond Corinna's expectations. She turned her face in surprise. Holding her father's arms and looking up at him. It seemed as if she had heard the most incredible thing, but her father still looked at him with a smile. "If you are with Tulinus, it is your happiness. Papa will never make things difficult for you. Papa will not be like the unreasonable brother of ancient times, who was crying for his dead fiancé and enemy in triumph, and stabbed the dagger into his sister's chest because she was crying for her dead fiancé and enemy in a triumphal manner."
"papa..." Corinna's eyes became even more confused. She was like a lost little lamb, lying between her father's arms and thighs.
"But I must make it clear to you that I will never embarrass you with the dowry, but Turinus was sentenced to life imprisonment, and if you marry him, you must go to the exile with him."
Corinna buried her head in her father's chest and asked in a soft voice, "It's so terrible... Where will the exile be?"
"It is temporarily set on the island where the Maltese live, with sea water on all sides. You can only reach Sicily by sailing on a boat for ten days." Li Bida said quietly.
Then he stopped talking and waited for his daughter's reply. Time seemed to stop. Corinna continued to bury her little head with some distress. After a while, she raised her pink arm, took off the necklace from her father's hand, and then buried it again in front of her father's chest, just like she was acting coquettish when she was a child. Li Bida smiled... It seemed that everything was no problem.
At night, Corinna redecorated. Although she did not attend the banquet that night, she stayed in her room, enjoyed the meal delivered by her servant, and brought the necklace given by her father. Now no one doubted that her wound would heal soon as time passed.
Turinus's final judgment was issued, depriving him of his rights to enjoy water and fire in Italy for life, exiled to the island of Malta, deprived Julius of his heir, and replaced him with Diccias. After the end of the Five Days, all the guards and entourages of the former Young Caesar were disbanded, and all the centurions around him were replaced by Li Bida's subordinates: six centurions selected from the Sixth Army, the first battalion stood at the exit of the Turinum dungeon wearing a sword.
Before, Li Bida secretly summoned Vonteuth, and in the hidden living room of Prama, "You have made too much sacrifice." The high priest was a little uneasy and guilty, and said to Vonteuth, who had been completely dismissed from military service.
"Nothing, I can finally repay the high priest's favor that year. The Romans did not like favors that they owe."
"The final punishment is also lifelong exile. But you don't need to worry about Wonteuz. I will give your hometown wife and children a allowance of 150,000 Ses to withdraw from the sergei every year, and everything is treated as a military guardian."
"No, high priest, your treatment is the annual salary of the chief minister of the administrative region." Fonteyus said with a smile.
"Now if you nod, I can increase my annual salary to 200,000, provided that you accompany Tulinus to Malta, where a hundred soldiers will be assigned to you." The high priest then expressed his true thoughts and slowly sipped the verbena water, "How... and I will take care of your son directly."
When Vonteuz heard this request, he felt the shadow under his feet turning. He understood that this was the generous treatment given to him by the other party, but in fact he was not allowed to refuse. You should know that his punishment was jointly issued by the Senate and the People's Congress. Even if Li Bida did not give him a single Asi, or exiled him to a certain barbarian and barren island in Illyria, he could only appoint him. So now Li Bida means, "Why should I specifically ask you to go to Malta? Because Turinus understands in his heart that he has received a trap, the biggest leader is you. On that small island, you and him have a perfect life-and-death relationship. I will certainly feel at ease to hand over the responsibility of regulating Turinus."
But this kind of helplessness that he could not betrayed even until death was not destined to betray him when he accepted gifts and help from Li Bida (who was still the cavalry commander at that time) in Afriga?
So of course, Wonteyus could only agree readily, "Thank you for the support of the High Priest, I will give the rest of Turinus's life to me!"
When the sailboat carrying exiles set sail to the island of Malta, the election of consuls in Rome was "decided" - Phillips got his wish and got the position of the second-CEO. He said to Atya, who was in pain at home, "A mother has three children. In the future, you should regard Phillips as your successful son and forget the failed Tulinus!"
