Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 1331 Victoria's Defense

Victoria ate the steamed buns peacefully. She was deeply moved by Shangluo's words, because Shangluo was really...really reliable.

Even her own father wasn't so reliable.

Her father, co-emperor Agathocles and former Roman emperor, was a typical political machine in her eyes. At least that's what she thought.

Based on the Spartan education model, she was deliberately separated from her relatives since she was a child. Even her aunt, the eldest princess of the empire, Lady Agatha, had to pretend to be a "home tutor" in order to stay with her niece.

Under such an educational model, even the emperor cannot do whatever he wants. Instead, because he is the emperor, he will be subject to stricter control.

This kind of discipline does not mean locking her up at home. On the contrary, this Spartan discipline requires all citizens to actively fulfill their social obligations and participate in social activities. And for the emperor, her social activities are ruling.

In fact, Victoria is not opposed to this. To some extent, this is also part of her father's character - she likes to hold meetings very much. After all, she does not need any preparation for a meeting, she just needs to inspect a place and then give some instructions.

Although it wouldn't matter if she didn't say anything, she had to go as the emperor.

And no matter where she goes, she is the focus of everyone.

To some extent, this is also quite beneficial to her psychological construction. She can often draw strength from ordinary people and fill her own meaning from their attention. This is indeed not a bad thing.

However, this was when Rome was not threatened. But her life changed because of foreign enemies, and Shangluo became her greatest support.

While her father, co-emperor Agasocles, was unable to make further arrangements for Victoria's own safety, Shangluo was busy with her personal problems.

"Shangluo, you are much better than my father."

"No, no, no." Shangluo waved his hands repeatedly, "I think your father should have more in-depth considerations, right?" He looked at Ms. Agatha next to him.

Ms. Agatha pushed up her glasses. "Of course. That's why Her Majesty Victoria is here."

[So the in-depth consideration is here, right?]

"Uh," Shangluo pressed his forehead, "Now that you mention it, I suddenly feel a lot of pressure. So, that person completely entrusted Victoria's safety to me?"

"To be precise, he entrusted all of this to the King of Rome," said Ms. Agatha in a deep voice. "This is an unbreakable bond between the monarch of Rome and the king of the Roman nation. He believes in this bond, just like he believes that the priests of Poseidon will marry the sea."

"Wait a minute." Victoria ate her steamed bun, "So I was offered to the King of Rome?"

"I didn't say that." Lady Agatha looked up at the sky. "It's a metaphor."

"It's not that I can't, but why do I need to use metaphors? I mean, I think this is pretty good. What do you think, Shangluo?"

"Ah? Aba Aba."

"Let me remind you," said Ms. Agatha. "Spartan education believes that having children is also a citizen's obligation, so one should get married and have children as soon as possible after completing other missions. However, Your Excellency the King of Rome, the fate you bear is somewhat dangerous."

"Ah! That's right, it is." Victoria remembered, "Shangluo, your son of God is very dangerous, he might kill you. Just like Zeus strangled his own child, we should not have children, anyway, the throne will not need to be inherited in the future." [Hey hey hey! Can you two stop singing the same tune, he hasn't said anything yet. ]

"Ah~~" Phaethon drank his tea, "I don't think there's anything wrong with it. It's pretty good."

[Hmm? Why are you not in a hurry? ]

"Because you are anxious. Just one person is anxious. We can take turns to deny. You deny your part, and I deny mine. When will even you become inseparable from Victoria? Wait until she enters the surrounding circle, and then we can let Victoria deny another group of people. Anyway, this is the turbulence of fate, and it cannot be stopped."

[I didn’t intend to divide it so much! ]

"Tsk, tsk, tsk." Phaethon shook his head. "You are too young, my Lady Apollonia. Power is something that changes. When things cannot be solved without her, in order to acknowledge this status quo, you have to share some of the power."

[Ah!!! How many people are needed? Shangluo, tell me!]

"Ah? Aba Aba Aba."

"Let me look it over. He said that the more soldiers Han Xin selected, the better."

【What about you! 】

"I would say three is a stable number. Four might lead to conflicts, so if we need to add more, we should do it in twos, so it's either three or five."

【Three is not too much for you! 】

"As I said, as the border expands, there are always some problems that have to be solved. You can think of it this way. This is actually a political alliance between us. Shangluo is hired by us to protect this home."

[Can you still say that? Is there such a saying? ]

"Yes, yes, lions on the grassland are like this. Of course, the difference is that the male lion in our lion group will not change, there is only one him. But think about it this way - isn't it great for so many of us to unite together? We can achieve close cooperation!"

"Yeah," Victoria nodded slightly while eating the steamed bun, "I think it's pretty good. Don't you think so?"

[Shangluo. What is your opinion? ]

"Ahem," Shangluo said in a deep voice, "As for my thing, I will protect everyone no matter what. As for the rest, just leave it to you to discuss. I have no objection."

[Of course you don't have any objections. How could you have any objections? But I warn you again, you are in great danger here in Rome. The next God King may be born in your bloodline at any time. He may be the true savior, or he may destroy the world. You must remember this.]

This is an ancient curse from the Greek gods. The father must conquer everything, and the son must replace the father. The power of the Roman king will also be fulfilled here.

[And I haven't agreed yet. I mean, I'm not ready to ally with Victoria because there's no balance. We represent the Oracle and the Senate.]

"So the Palace of Muses is still missing, right?" Phaethon asked. "You mean I should go to the Palace of Muses to represent them?"
