Eagle Flag of Epirus

"Gui'an, Princess Odosia!"

Odosia watched the man in front of her curtsey, with surprise in her expression, and she was obviously surprised by Justinian's appearance.

"you are……?"

Justinian introduced himself again: "Justinian, Governor of Moria, was appointed by His Majesty Alexemuzfius to recover the lost land. I am very happy to see you here. Maybe. Now I should call you the Queen, Your Royal Highness!" Looking at the response of the other party, Justinian could see that Odosia didn’t seem to understand herself, but it’s normal. For her, she was just a dirty body. The man with a bandage, so Justinian deliberately said Muzfius's name, which suddenly changed Odosia's expression slightly.

"It's you..." Obviously remembering something, Odosia took a few steps back instinctively, but then recovered her calm, shook her head and said lightly: "But things are over, now I just want a peace. Whether it’s a princess or a queen, it’s not important to me."

"I'm sorry," Justinian said in a calm tone. He could see that obviously because of the political marriage, this woman was obviously indifferent to his original husband, so he was not eager to say what he was. The intention of this trip. But Justinian is not in a hurry. I am afraid this woman thinks that Duke Leo really loves her, but the man is actually just to squeeze the value of his salary status. So if Odosia sees this one day, he will naturally have a chance to persuade this woman.

"Then, sir, if there is nothing else, there are other homeless people who need my help..." Even though Odothea has a grudge against Justinian, she still has a very good noble attitude. Said politely.

And Justinian naturally nodded a few times in his heart, letting go and watched Odosia who was surrounded by servants go away.

"Very proud lady, isn't it?" Looking at the distant figure of the other party, Arslan on the side would not have as much respect for the nobles as the Byzantines, even though Odosia's tone and demeanor gave people a kind of demeanor. Feeling approachable, but the natural and unhurried temperament really cannot be changed, the arrogance that the purple-clothed aristocrat has since birth, even if the purple-clothed is covered in dust, it will not change easily.

"It is true. After all, this has been a part of its life for so many years, but I think she should be more disgusted with her own identity!" Justinian did not understand the life of the princess. Too many, I don’t know what the final outcome in its history will be, but throughout her life she has been unable to choose her own destiny. As the youngest daughter of Emperor Alexei III, her marriage is more of a bargaining chip. , The first time was the Grand Duke of Serbia, the second time was Muzfius, the third time was Leosgros, she was like a puppet at the mercy of others. Rejecting the title of princess or queen is probably more a kind of visceral fear, fear of the kind of depression that can't move in the mud of power.

This feeling can be understood by Justinian in a sense, because after he came into this world and made the choice to rescue Muzfius, he was actually caught in the game of the upper player, even though he saved Muzfius, but hasn't he become a **** in the opponent's hand?

But Arslan on the side shrugged indifferently when he heard it, "Hey, I don't understand these nobles, who clearly live a life of worry-free clothing and food, and worry about this, worry about this."

"So you can only be a mercenary all the time. If you just have to worry about food and clothing, then you can be a rich businessman or manor. For the superior, if you want to wear the crown on your head, you must do it well. The preparation for cutting off the head is to'if you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight'.” Justinian said grimly, looking at Arslan in front of him.

"Huh, there is nothing wrong with being a free mercenary for me. It is better than intrigue with Romans like you." Of course, Arslan heard the meaning of Justinian's words and sneered at each other, but again I remembered something faintly said: "But it's more than you? Even if we are Turkic people, at the beginning my father was the youngest son of an Emir in the east, but because of the family inheritance, he had to leave his hometown to escape pursuit and came to Rome. Serve the pagans in the empire.” That’s why Arslan hated the nobles since he was a child, but because of his contact with the Latins, he became interested in the ranger and knights in the west. And the change in Justinian's attitude was also because he saw that this guy who was a few years younger than himself was really different from those nobles who were always aloof, to have today's friendship.

And Justinian also noticed that Arslan seemed to be involved in something, so he immediately changed the subject and said, "Well, since the wound can't be found, then I should go to the old man now, I think If he doesn’t go, I’m afraid he will send someone to urge him again.” After talking for so long, he almost forgot that he was going to see Grand Duke Anastasius, and he didn’t know what else the old man had to do. Discuss with yourself.

He was not worried that Anastasius would hurt himself, because the previous conversation had convinced Justinian that the old man was trustworthy.

...

In the city of Fort Wiscari, Leosgros took off his heavy armor. Although his magnificent ducal mansion was set on fire, fortunately he had more than one mansion in Fort Wiscari. After the fire broke out, he had everything properly arranged at that time, so apart from some property losses, no other accidents happened.

"My master, you are back, thank God for your blessing!" As soon as Duke Leo's butler saw his master, he immediately stepped forward to greet him. The whole house was uneasy that night, only to hear the fierce battle in the direction of Watergate. There was a fight, and they were overjoyed when they heard the news of the victory.

And Duke Leo nodded immediately, but suddenly frowned: "Where is she? Why is she not here?" The husband returned from the expedition, and his wife should come out to meet him immediately, but Leo Gross did not see Odosia. Silhouette.

At this time, I saw the worried butler saying: "My master, Madam went out in the morning to take people to appease the refugees in the city. The old servant also wanted to dissuade, but Madam insisted, so I didn't dare to stop." He certainly remembered that Duke Leo's order was to ask Mrs. Odosia to stay in the house not to go out and walk around, but the people were light-hearted. After all, the butler did not dare to stop in person, and now he can only wait uneasyly for Duke Leo's punishment in front of him.

Sure enough, after listening, Leosgros was furious, and watched the housekeeper in front of him about to speak with a gloomy face.

But at this moment, behind him, there was a voice that stopped him: "This is not to blame him, my dear husband, this is my own request. It has nothing to do with him."

It was the voice of Odosia, who had just returned from the refugee camp, that Leosgros on the front foot returned to the mansion, and she also returned. It happened to see the convicted butler kneeling on the ground and begging her husband for forgiveness. But he was very surprised by the other party's reaction, and just because of that trivial mistake, his husband showed that gloomy face that he had never seen before.

However, seeing Odosia's appearance, Leosgros immediately changed his expression.

"Oh, God, fortunately you are okay, Odosia. You shouldn't go there, it's too dangerous. I asked you to stay in the house to consider your safety. As a result, they didn't even manage this thing. "Although he still has a blaming tone, Duke Leo's demeanor is completely different from the coldness and harshness he had before, and he has turned into the original appearance of a good husband and father.

And Odosia didn’t doubt it, and said with a bitter smile: “I’m just worried about it. They’re not to blame for this. Now that the situation is so bad, I can only send some food to them. Feel better.” As a princess, she has always carried a heavy sense of responsibility. This is not only because the people around her, but even her own relatives, have been instilling this concept into her. Coupled with her father's notoriety for abandoning the people, Odosia has a consciousness of atonement invisibly, and wants to make up for something as much as possible.

But it’s a pity that the man in front of him is taking advantage of Odosia’s identity. For Leosgros, it doesn’t matter what the woman thinks in front of him. All he has to do is to pretend to be a good husband and father. Look like.

"Where's Helena, she was not scared yesterday?" Duke Leo asked "concerningly".

"It's okay, but I was still somewhat frightened. I asked my grandmother to coax the child to sleep. Helena didn't fall asleep all night. She cried for a long time before she fell asleep. But the Venetian is still alive. Will you come again?" Princess Odozia looked at her husband worriedly, still worried that the Venetians would make a comeback. She had experienced the siege of Constantinople. The disaster and despair caused by hunger and panic in the city are still fresh in her memory. As a mother, she would never want that scene to appear in Fort Wiscari again.

Looking at those moving eyes like lambs, Duke Leo gently stroked the hair of his wife in front of him and said, "Don't worry, nothing will happen, my dear Odosia, nothing will happen to you and Helena. Promise me not to go out and walk around these days, it's too dangerous, understand?"

Looking at her husband who cared about her, even though Odosia didn't like the feeling of being imprisoned, she still felt that her husband was really thinking about herself, so she nodded and agreed to Duke Leo's request.

And Leosgros also smiled satisfied and said: "Very well, I have other business to deal with, you have been busy for a long time, go and rest!" Then he ordered the subordinates to be haggard. Princess Odosia went back to her room to rest.

Looking at Odosia’s distant back, the man’s original warm face gradually disappeared and changed to another look. He walked slowly to the wing cabinet and opened the heavy door with a The windows are not so dark that they can't see things clearly.

Fumbling for the candlestick, Duke Leo lit the candle, and at this time, the dim light illuminates the small room, but someone has already been sitting on the chair at the table waiting for Duke Leo for a long time.

"Excellent acting skills, Leosgros, if you act as an actor in the great theater of Constantinople, you will definitely get a lot of applause." He only laughed sarcastically.

But Duke Leo didn’t care about it at all. Instead, he looked at each other coldly and said: “Don’t worry, although the whole city is still hunting you, but before the Venetians fail to leave, you will not be caught for the time being. The danger of discovery." The man's gaze swept across the faces of the Orientals, and he sneered slightly.

In front of the Duke Leo, it was none other than the Assassins who had attacked Watergate before. They even hid in his mansion. No wonder the Byzantine army couldn't find these killers after repelling the Venetians.

However, these Assassins looked at the man in front of them very vigilantly and asked: "Your Excellency Leo~www.readwn.com~ Are you really afraid of being implicated? I think you should know that we did it before. What!" They were caught off guard and quickly surrounded by Byzantine soldiers, but Leosgros deliberately let them go and gave them temporary shelter.

But for such help, these Assassin assassins knew in their hearts that it was definitely not free.

Upon seeing this, Liosgros laughed and said: "But I am the hero who defended Fort Wiscari anyway, am I? At least for a while, they couldn't doubt me. Body." He is not worried about exposure, although if things are exposed, he will be ruined if he can't explain all of this, but a few people can expect these killers to be protected by Moria's most powerful nobleman. ?

"Then what do you want?" Now that I am a swordsman for the fish and meat people, the leaders of the assassins also realize that the reason for the man in front of them to save them is by no means so simple, so they simply get to the point.

And Duke Leo also showed a satisfied look on his face and said: "Well, although the **** George never told me that he had colluded with the Venetians before, I have to say that he has left you people as a very precious existence. Now that you understand why I rescued you, I want to make a deal with you. If you succeed, I will guarantee your safety, and I can send you out safely after the incident, how about?” See With the attitude of the other party, Leosgros finally put forward his own terms. It seems that he is not worried that the other party will refuse. At this moment, the Assassins in front of them were silent, looking at each other quietly for a while, but they didn't know what to do...
