Chapter 299 - 185 Blessings and Surprises
"You better take good care of your wife first," Maximus teased.
After making a joke, Maximus looked at Pusilola and said gently in Illyrian, "I’m glad you chose Gaius. He is capable and trusted by everyone. You will be very happy marrying him—"
Clearly, Maximus was trying to flatter Gaius, which made Gaius quite grateful.
But halfway through his words, Maximus suddenly stopped and stared at Pusilola’s face, uncertainly asking, "You’re not a Skodisqi, you’re a Segestica?"
The Skodisqi and Pannonians have ruled each other for decades. Due to various reasons, there have been many intermarriages, causing their appearances to become similar, but there are still noticeable differences. Maximus, who had paid attention to these differences, noticed something wasn’t right after a closer look.
"I’m a person of Segestica. My original husband died in battle, and I became a widow," Pusilola tried to keep her tone calm.
Maximus didn’t pay attention to the hint of resentment in Pusilola’s words. He was only thinking about one thing: this was the first marriage between a tribe member and a captured Pannonian woman. It was a good start and an excellent example!
His mind raced, and he asked in Latin, "Gaius, did you know that the wife you are going to marry is from Segestica?"
"I just heard her say it."
Maximus said solemnly, "Your marriage is a great thing for our tribe! After this group’s matchmaking is over, you two will return to the center of the field, and I will bless you both again in front of everyone!"
