Barbarian Bride
“And not a moment too soon. Lucius rode through the gates of the town of Aquicum breathing easier confident Irnik would never dare attack him right under the nose of a Roman legion. Complain as he might about the constraints of Roman society, he was relieved to be back within its embrace. Now he could afford the time to relax, take a day or two to recover from hard riding. Stretching his lower back as he sat in the saddle, Lucius began to look for accommodation.
As he rode through the fronti...er town a renewed admiration for Roman public buildings, so elegant in their contrast to the last outpost of civilisation he’d just come from, dawned on him. This town was designed to resemble Rome although it fell far short. Yet, despite its obvious deficiencies, it possessed a proper bath house and a tavern worthy of the name. The thought of a hot bath and a good night’s sleep caused Lucius to smile for the first time since leaving Hetal. The old rogue had scared him with tales of vengeful Hun so he’d lost no time striking for the nearest town on the fringe of the Empire.MoreLess
