"For the Romans, there were only two living people to fear in their time, Hannibal and this woman (Cleopatra)." - Dr. Tarn

"It's too late for you to escape now! My hairdressing maids, attendants, and your security guards will all think that I have an affair with you. Do you think Caesar will not know it? Instead of trying to make excuses Rumors, it’s better to be brave and do it.” After saying that, Cleopatra threw herself into Lepidus’ arms.

Who would have thought that Lepidah gently pushed Xiao Yan back again, "Oh my God, you are such a smart girl. Are you the kind of person who is defeated by lust? You have to understand that the one who wants to annex Egypt now is not I am Caesar, and I am the deputy of the dictator, so of course I know how deep debts Caesar has incurred when running this war. He has become red-eyed, so he must do this at all costs. .s. We are all wandering on the edge of a dangerous cliff, and the solution I provide now is the only way to solve the problem. "

"Is that so? Is that so!" Cleopatra became confused. All her original dreams and plans were shattered in front of a hard wall. "I remembered that many years ago in Naples In front of the azure bay, when the whole city of Rome ignored our father and daughter, that young, handsome and tall man, who was clearly just a Curia attendant, welcomed our father and daughter in despair. The guard of honor carried a heavy burden for our country and fought bravely against fate. I used to think that he was omnipotent, so I was willing to do anything at night. I gave up the dignity of the royal family and came here. Now that I think about it, I was a stepping stone for the woman named Adiana. My dreams and weaknesses were easily grasped by this Lepidus man. My thoughts were between him and Adiana. Anna's presence is worthless." Then, Little Queen covered her mouth and sobbed, and then she looked up at the cavalry commander with a frozen expression. He continued, "But the person I fell in love with for the first time is still you, but the one who can truly be called husband and wife with you, who can be gentle or unruly, and who can put his arm on your shoulders casually, is the only one. Woman, right?" "Yes." Li Bida didn't pause for long, but then he said the answer clearly, and then he said something suddenly. "Matthias, get out from behind the curtain!"

Mattia was shocked. He immediately rushed out from behind the curtain of the hall with a pottery jar filled with water. Then, like a father, Li Bida grabbed the child's ears and said in a dark voice in front of Little Queen, "You You were bribed by Queen Eubotia again to spy on me, right?”

Matthias was as horrified as a little beast, and fell at Lepidus' feet, saying, "Yes, the queen is indeed secretly uneasy, but she just said that if there is anything between you and the Pharaoh's daughter, she just wants to know about it." , because she can't bear that kind of suffering." After saying that, Mattia reluctantly put the pottery jar aside, and then took out a piece of embarrassment from his sleeve, Lepidus took it with one hand, Cleopatra. She was also at a loss for this sudden situation, but she clearly saw that there was nothing on the papyrus roll, but Lepidus smiled and soaked the paper roll in the clear water of Matthias' pottery urn, and then the writing came out. It slowly emerged.

The entire scroll was filled with Adiana's chaotic thoughts and uneasiness, as if talking to herself. After reading it for a while, Lepidus became silent. Then he turned his back and said to Little Queen, "What if now?" If there is a conflict with Caesar, even if we can get rid of Caesar, for the world, only Pompey of Africa will benefit, and your brother has killed Pompey's confidant Gabinus, which is equivalent to declaring that Egypt will also Being an enemy of Pompeo, it would be completely stupid for some unnecessary personal sentiments to interfere with the strategy we had planned together."..."As a woman, I must be influenced by the personal sentiments in your mouth. Are you sleepy?" Cleopatra could only hug Lepidus from behind.

"Want to know how I responded to your confusion?".

Cleopatra didn't say a word. She wanted to get the answer, but she didn't want to accept the cruelty, but Lepidus still said the answer, "What I love is Cleopatra's dream of restoring the country. In addition, On the one hand, I love Adiana, who has the dream of restoring the country. Can you understand the difference between the two? So if you are a man who endures the war, the weapons that women can use are indeed bedclothes, but they should not be limited to them. Here, you once said that you are a great Egyptianist. If a man conquers the world, you will conquer that man and accomplish the same great feat." After saying that, Lepidah turned around and wiped Xiao Yan's cheek. Through tears, he then said clearly, "Unfortunately, this is just a delusion."

"Unfortunately, this is just a delusion." This sentence really shocked Cleopatra. She quietly put on her clothes one by one, and then said with a wry smile, "Yes, the top priority is to preserve Egypt and ascend to the throne." , the country is still facing dangers on the edge of the cliff at any time. The reason why you love that queen so deeply is because even in the most depressed moments, she never succumbed to laziness and desire, and persevered step by step. Come out, right?"

"That's probably it." Then Lebida made a very polite gesture.

After watching the little queen leave, Lepidus walked to Matthias who was still kneeling and sat down, sighed, and then used alum powder to write a sentence on the papyrus roll: "Carabis has matured, but he is distressed and doesn't know when Calabia will be like this", and then asked Matthias to stand up and said, "Send this thing back intact."

At this time, Nefertiti was still standing respectfully in the cavalry commander's residence, holding the dressing box in her hand. She thought the hostess would stay there for half the night or even the whole night, so she turned her eyes to Arp. At this time, the other party also cast a kind look and nodded very friendly, and then stood up and continued to patrol with the sword - it seems that this black cheetah is actually a reasonable person.

But the little queen came out in a sari robe at about midnight, her eyes full of complexity and confusion. She almost didn't see Neferdidi, and Neferdidi didn't know what happened in the cavalry commander's residence just now, what Lepid did to her, and what he said. The little queen walked out of the courtyard alone without saying anything and returned to her bedroom.

The next day when patrolling the camp, Hebrida followed the cavalry commander triumphantly, holding a purse in his hand. Sometimes Lepid could hear him unable to hold back and whispered to his colleagues, "Last night's security mission exhausted me. It was not enough to deal with one person, but I didn't expect that I was happy and received a reward. This is really the first time."
