Augustus Under the Horseshoe

Chapter 558 : Royal Scandal

Western Roman Empire-Liguria Province-Milan

When Painhurs carried an army of destruction, annihilated half of the East Roman army, and forced the other side to sign an extremely humiliating agreement, the Western Empire was also undergoing drastic changes. Honorius Augustus, the co-administration emperor Constantius successively died of illness. After a series of political games and the handover of interests, the second son of the co-ruling emperor Constantius and the younger brother of Honoria, Valentinian III, who was only fifteen years old, became crowned and crowned.

The elders of the Western Empire began to look at them with fear. Put it on the tribe.

At first, they thought that this group of people were just barbarians stronger than the Visigoths, and ceding Pannonia to them just saved a lot of military expenses.

However, the Battle of the Utus River shocked the world, and half of the professional armies of the Eastern Empire were wiped out-this group of people were not simple barbarians at all, they were even capable and really subverting the ancient Roman Empire! And it took only twenty years for this regime to emerge from the moment it became a behemoth across the four seas.

For a time, the three words “Attila” became the most concerned words of the empire’s elders.

In a room covered with gorgeous carpets. Fresh and tender roses in black and white are scattered all over the marble wall. Countless colorful gems are inlaid on the pitch-black roof, acting as the shining stars in the dark dome.

In the center of the room is a big blood-red velvet bed. A young woman is sleeping here. The white pleated nightdress covered most of her skin. There are only two slender and round thighs, gracefully exposed. Under the dark long hair, a sweet smile bloomed on the beautiful face, as if she had a good dream, with attractive cherry lips, gently reading three Latin characters: Attila.

“Honoria?”

Suddenly, a rapid knock on the door awakened the girl from her sleep. Queen Regent, mother of Honoria and Valentinian III: Placidia gently knocked open the delicate door.

She wore a graceful and luxurious purple dress, long black hair, and a neat bun on the top of her head. Her face was almost carved out of the same mold as Honoria, but the corners of her eyes and forehead were densely covered with wind and frost. The lines.

Time has taken away part of her beauty, but it cannot take away her noble temperament. Honoria was like a well-behaved kitten under her mother’s deterrence. She immediately got up from the bed and stood barefoot on the carpet.

“What’s wrong? Mother?”

“Have you not considered what I said?”

Placidia said dissatisfiedly.

“Your father, my husband has passed away, and your brother is not an adult, so he can’t take charge of the Central Forbidden Army. If this continues, he will be unstable in the position of Augustus, and our family needs support! More support— —The governor of the six provinces of Spain and the western islands, the elven wife of Gilliman, the lord of the five hundred worlds, has just passed away unexpectedly. I asked him to marry him, and the other party agreed. Why did you keep rejecting it?”

“He is too old…”

Honoria hung down and mumbled twice in dissatisfaction. A pair of purple eyes, under the cover of her long black hair, turned anxiously from side to side, filled with tears of grievance.

Damn, didn’t he all win the Battle of the Utus River and wipe out half of the Eastern Empire’s army? Why don’t you marry yourself with the power of victory? Why is it still consumed in the mountains and rivers of Greece? You won’t come to me again…

“It’s okay. Age is not a problem.”

The Queen Mother sighed gently, and gently stroked the top of her daughter’s head.

“I know that at your age, I have pursued illusory love. I don’t want to marry a stranger I’ve never met. But, it’s okay. I promise that after you meet him, you will Gradually fall in love with that man.”

“Look, he is the entire Western Roman Empire, the largest governor, in charge of six provinces, and has a genius-like administrative ability. It is he who has solved the old problems of the empire that the legions can’t lose their tails and succeeded in reconciling the local dwarves and natives. , The conflict with the Roman colonists. Trained an elite army, suppressed a series of rebellions, transformed the originally dangerous Spanish provinces into a rare paradise for the empire. Isn’t such a man worthy of you Try to love? You will definitely be happy.”

Honoria thought for a while, compared with the tribe’s monster empire that spans all over the world, the provinces of Spain are too small.

Talented administrative ability? Reconciled the contradiction between the dwarves and the Romans? Attila, however, integrates dozens of races, including centaurs, orcs, elves, goths, tefrin, and ogres, to fight side by side.

Suppress the local rebellion? My love just now wiped out half of the regular army of the Eastern Empire!

However, the princess did not dare to say all of this. Now the whole empire has mixed reviews of Attila. No one knows what the Senate’s final attitude towards the tribe will be. Moreover, a princess will fall in love with a monster. It was too shocking to the world-the most important thing is that he promised that he would propose a marriage first!

“Mother, can you slow down first?”

Honoria sobbed softly, raised her big watery eyes, and pretended to be pitiful.

“Father, he has just passed away, at least a few months later? My heart is already occupied by sorrow, and I can’t feel sorrow and joy for the time being. Besides, my father’s funeral has just been held. In a short time, his daughter It is really disrespectful to hold a wedding.”

“Also.”

After considering it for a while, the Queen Mother sighed deeply, and continued to ask in an irrefutable tone.

“So, do you agree or disagree? Actually, I want to marry you to Marshal Aetius. He is very young and has a promising future, but the kid gets married really fast, he just became Marshal. , Immediately went to the Gaul war zone and married a Frankish barbarian girl… what a shame to the empire.”

Seeing that she couldn’t avoid her mother’s serial urging of marriage, Honoria sighed deeply, and had to reluctantly agreed, praying that the white horse, who was fighting in Greece, could send out a letter of marriage proposal in the time she could win.

However, the unfolding of the matter has exceeded the princess’s expectations.

Honoria left the White Horse on March 1st, and the Battle of Utus ended on May 17th. The princess was surprised to find that she had begun to gain weight. Her dented belly was slightly bulging. At first she I thought it was because my diet was uncoordinated recently, and I started to lose weight. However, with the passage of time, my stomach became bigger and bigger, and I started to become acidophilic, even slightly vomiting.

The eldest princess was terrified and began to use various methods to cover her bulging belly, but in early June, when the white horse was still besieging Constantinople and trying to convince the East Romans to surrender, her belly was as if she was pregnant. The women of the month generally bulged up high and could no longer hide it.

The empress dowager was so shocked that she immediately sent an imperial physician and found that her daughter had already lost her virginity and was pregnant.

“Say! Who did you see six months ago! Which jester had fornicated! Unmarried first pregnancy, unmarried first pregnancy! How could I teach you this daughter!”

Placidia was so angry that she immediately ordered the court guards to chop off the doctor who knew about it, secretly blocked the news that the princess was pregnant, and confined Honoria in the attic. He also announced that the princess had a tumor in her stomach and was receiving medical treatment. The impact of this incident was overwhelming the least.

If it weren’t for the imperial doctor’s words before his death, the princess’s belly seemed to be six months pregnant, and abortion would threaten the princess’s life.

Honoria’s face was pale, her mouth was difficult to argue, she had calculated everything, but she really didn’t expect that she would be pregnant!

And what is even more weird is: Counting the time, I have been pregnant with Attila’s child for three months at most. Why does the belly bulge like a woman who is pregnant in June? ! Is this something wrong?
