Chapter 712 - The White Deer

The shadows of Antonius and Leo stretched long and slender across the grass, symbolising the passage of time and the bond between father and son. The emperor, though showing signs of frailty and weariness, maintained a regal posture on his mount, a testament to his enduring spirit. Leo, with the reins firmly in his hands, walked with a sense of purpose and resolve, reflecting the growing responsibilities he bore as the heir to the throne. The silhouettes of the two figures seemed to merge and diverge as they moved in tandem, capturing the complex relationship between them—a blend of authority, duty, and familial love.
