Quintus did not like this fellow.
Though the emperor of the empire was surrounded by demons and ghosts, he was, after all, a low-class man who climbed up from the bottom. Without the emperor's favor, he could never have come this far. Therefore, deep down, although he must grab what he can, he still somewhat considers the interests of the imperial emperor.
He's a bit like the eunuch of the Ming Dynasty. Quintus is greedy, yet he remains loyal to the emperor, serving him the leftovers.
The other people around gradually withdrew.
Maximus glanced at Quintus with cold eyes, seeming somewhat displeased, and turned to look at Valentinian III, indicating that this servant should also step down.
But Valentinian III shook his head slowly and said, "Quintus is my confidant, don't worry about him."
Those words made Quintus feel grateful and decide to leave more loot for the emperor next time.
