Flavio looked at the representative of Lakam Ha with some doubt "I want to understand that your queen Nicte Ha wants my son Yuma to marry her daughter to ally with her city"
The representative nodded "In case your majesty, the queen hopes to achieve an alliance to defend against the city of Calakmul, who is looking for excuses to invade us"
Flavio understood the queen"s desperation to safeguard her daughter and try to save her people from a war she could not win.
"As an emperor, I am happy to be sought to organize a marriage with my son but as a father, I am against deciding the fate of my son.
Many can use their children as exchange currencies but in my case, I am not willing to ruin their future because of my whims, you can tell your queen that the marriage does not depend on me, it will depend on Yuma when he is older he will decide his future loving.
But she can send his daughter to spend time with Yuma and grow up together, but I have to remind you that my son is not like me, he has a certain taste for different women, therefore he is likely to develop a harem.
What does depend on me is to guide him so that it is not a man"s garbage that only uses women, he may have many women but I a.s.sure you that he will treat all of them as if they were unique and will give them all the love that corresponds to them, or I stop calling Flavio Octavia.n.u.s Turino Caesar. "
At that time Yuma who was sleeping along with the baby Mitsune woke up with some fear, it was the first time he felt a sense of fear, he didn"t know what was causing it but he could feel that his future would be painful.
But as a 2-year-old baby just ignored the feeling and went back to sleep with the baby Mitsune, he didn"t want to disturb the baby he wanted so much to protect.
After long listening to her mother"s stories about how her father protects her against all evil, Yuma wants to be a man like her father and that is why he was looking for someone to protect and when Mitsune arrived he decided that he would be the guardian of that little fox baby girl.
For Kitsuné this is not a nuisance because Yuma seems to have a relaxing effect on her daughter so she allows him to sleep with her, anyway thanks to little Yuma he can spend time with his daughter because she takes care of Yuma in the process.
The representative of Lakam Ha wiped the sweat from his forehead is not what he expected to hear, if he did not get the support of Rome against Calakmul, his people could be enslaved or sacrificed to the G.o.ds.
Flavio noticed the representative"s discontent and said "Don"t worry about the defense against Calakmul if your queen accepts the proposal I will send the Gamma Canibalum legion to conquer the city of Calakmul.
How have you been able to check in the streets we are preparing for a crisis that is going to hit from the north and we need a large population for the deep defense that we plan to make.
I hope your queen can take it into account once her enemy is destroyed, in exchange for her help they will receive strategic materials to survive the great problem that lies ahead of the north. "
The representative was calmer knowing that he would receive support from Rome but the relief he received was quite temporary, now he was afraid of what might come from the north.
The last time an omen took place in the south, it became a cemetery for volunteers who went to fight against the strange creatures that the d.a.m.n jungle threw.
Before he could answer Emperor Flavio he had to consult with Queen Nicte Ha, this was a very important issue where he as a humble envoy had no decision power.
The representative said goodbye to the emperor and went along with the amba.s.sador to the emba.s.sy, he had to prepare to be able to take the news to the queen as soon as possible, he did not want to delay the time.
Fortunately, the meeting only lasted an hour, so I had plenty of time to go to Lakam Ha, when he arrived at the emba.s.sy he changed clothes for a more comfortable one and left in search of a caravan that went to Lakam Ha.
To his surprise he did not find a caravan of merchants but if an entourage of Praetorian guards who on orders of the emperor ordered them to accompany the representative to the city of Lakam Ha, being a VIP character they were authorized to take him in a carriage.
When the representative climbed into the carriage that was being pulled by two large horses, he could only feel like someone with much luck, not even his queen has the opportunity to test a carriage and now he as a simple representative can try this only used means of transport through the high Roman spheres.
The road was quite comfortable and fast in just 3 hours of travel they managed to reach the city of Lakam Ha, they should have arrived earlier but the last section of the road was not asphalted and it was dirt roads which hinder the movement of the carriage.
The city of Lakam Ha was surprised to see an imposing carriage being protected by four well-armed Roman hors.e.m.e.n, the city guards led the entourage to the palace of Queen Nicte Ha, who personally met the Praetorian guards.
After a little greeting from the queen to the Praetorians, the representative got out of the carriage and addressed his queen who was waiting for the representative with some impatience because she did not know what Emperor Flavio had said about his marriage proposal.
The representative and the queen entered the palace while the Praetorians waited for the queen"s response ...
