"Epirus's Eagle Flag Novel ( Find the latest chapter!
There was a polite knock on the door, and the servants opened the door, and those who walked in were the nobles of Thessaly who had been invited by Justinian today, as well as Secretary Hendriel, including those behind them. Family members. From the three counts of Merinosen, Talanit, and Bunonius down to the pros and cons of Plogna, all came to the scene.
All the people were silent. They were very strange to Justinian and most of the nobles of Thessaly. Perhaps they had heard the rumors-there were good and bad, maybe they were all investigated recently. The scene where Stinney came to the city to give generously and generously was shocked, but it is really necessary to understand that this young man always has to see the last one in person to be convincing, otherwise it would be difficult for them to make a choice. Prince Theodor is dead, do they really rely on such a fledgling boy to stand opposite to Emperor Mikhail?
The silence stayed for a short while, and under Justinian's signal, the servants invited the relatives of Thessaly to the arranged positions one by one.
Two extremely long mahogany dining tables are placed in the center of the hall. Both sides of the dining tables are filled with silver tableware. Perhaps it is because of the status of the nouveau riche of the Gavras family. All the things left are extremely pompous, even pillows. The napkins of the tableware are all high-quality silk. The size of each table is astonishingly large, and it can accommodate more than fifty people eating at the same time. It takes extremely rare wood to make it.
"Let's start!" Justinian greeted the people behind him indifferently.
At this time, the nobles of Thessaly also arrived one after another, taking their seats under the guidance of the waiter. With the melodious music in the hall, the atmosphere gradually eased. Sitting on the left side of the hall is the nobles, and on the right is the dining place for the nobles’ relatives. The nobles wear veils and dress gracefully. They sit down and look curiously at the decoration of this luxurious mansion. The men's eyes focused on Justinian.
But Justinian was not in a hurry to speak. He still commanded the housekeeper and servants whom he didn't know not long ago to order the whole banquet in an orderly manner.
Delicacies and delicacies were brought up. Roasted lamb shanks, stewed vegetables, steamed fish were all on the table, and there were even grilled meat made from game meat that was just returned from the city not long ago as a hors d’oeuvre. The fine wines collected by the Si family were also taken out from the cellar and offered to the nobles present to taste. The fire in the fireplace is booming, and in the warm room temperature, in addition to the smell of food, there is also a faint fragrance of hyacinth by the window sill.
Everything is so warm and peaceful, so noble and elegant, that many people present are immersed in it and forget the purpose of their original trip.
Until Merinoson's hoarse and thick voice interrupted the melodious atmosphere, the sound of the harp played by the servants in the hall also stopped abruptly at this moment.
"His Royal Highness, is it right now to start the topic? The feast can be completely left behind."
Although Merinoson had loosened his attitude towards Justinian under the persuasion of Hendry and others, he still didn't believe how much energy such a kid could have, unless Justinian talked about it in today's conversation. His plan can really convince him.
The voice fell, and the silence in the hall added a touch of majesty, and even the lady seat was silent. On the other hand, Qing Hendry and the other two earls also did not say anything, and acquiesced to Merinoson's approach. It's not that they don't stand on Justinian's side, but this is what this young man has to face. A war with Okinawazu alone is never easier than commanding thousands of troops. This is something Justinian will face one day.
"I don't think it is appropriate for the women to stay here at this time." Earl Merinoson looked at the families of the nobles on another table, but Justinian stopped him.
"There is no need for this trouble, Lord Earl."
I saw that in the middle of the hall, Justinian put down the wine glass beside his mouth and looked up at the candle light above his head. The dark blue pupils seemed to reflect the bright moon.
In the eyes of the nobles, Justinian began his conversation: "I think everyone here should have heard of me and some rumors about me. Today you are willing to accept my invitation, it must be very Most of it is to figure out what I am like, and some people may be disappointed at the beginning. I am not like the template of the tyrant in the history books, and I have neither strange hobbies nor disgusting looks. The three heads and six arms without deformities are just ordinary people like everyone else."
The relaxed words were skipped casually, and the reactions of the nobles were different. Some people frowned slightly and felt that Justinian's words were not elegant, while others thought it was funny and interesting.
Justinian continued: "But after all, there are people who are facing my arrival, as if I am a scourge that is stronger than the Latins. Why is there such a question? The answer is simple, because it changes a person's Prejudice is much more difficult than cutting off the head of a Latin invader. Especially now that it is easier for us to kill Latins than before. Unfortunately, I have not seen the improvement in the ability to eliminate prejudice for the time being." The young man joked teasingly. ~www.readwn.com~ The atmosphere of silence and majesty became a lot more lively in an instant. I don’t know if it was because the nobles’ relatives were deliberately kept present, the Thesari, who was originally tense, unknowingly relaxed. .
But Merinoson was not so easily persuaded by such a few words. As a representative jointly launched by the opposition and the centrist, he initiated the challenge to Justinian.
"In the eyes of many of us, this does not seem to be prejudice. The rumored rumor that the nobles of Tripolis were deprived of their fiefs is not groundless. A large number of fiefs that have been inherited from generation to generation have been arbitrarily deprived of by His Highness Justinian and rewarded to others. This kind of behavior is hard not to make people feel uneasy. I think you are willing to make a clarification, or frankly say that you will continue to be consistent with this behavior." Merinoson asked bluntly, obviously, this set of words is not his. What a martial artist could say, Justinian did not change his face. He was not angry at the distrust of the Thessaly nobles. He clearly realized that if the annexation of Thessaly territory could not be completed in a peaceful way, he would accept The way down will undoubtedly get harder and harder. The vested interest of the old nobles in Rome will be the greatest enemy on the hidden front, and the ark of the covenant will not give him much time.
