Eagle Flag of Epirus

"How come, is it really like that?" The Moria nobles who looked at each other looked at the scene in front of them, and now they had no ideas at all.

Even though the Earl of Conil who presided over the trial at this time looked at Odosia who appeared in front of him, he realized that the situation was very unfavorable to the Duke Leos Grace in front of him. There is already hard evidence, even if he is willing to protect his science. Neil was also weak at this time.

I saw the man sitting on the trial bench shook the silver bell and said loudly, "Silent, everyone keep quiet, Princess Odosia, can you really guarantee that your testimony does not contain any falsehood?"

But I saw the woman in front of her slowly turned her head and glanced at Duke Leo, who was still stunned by a scene not far away. Odosia finally retracted her gaze, lightly. Nodded lightly:

"Although I am no longer a princess of any empire, I swear in the name of Odosia Angeles that everything I say to you here is true, no change, no repentance. But here I wanted to add one more sentence before—"

But the woman hadn't finished her words. Originally, the silent Duke Leo suddenly raised his head, and his whole body was trembling. He saw the blue veins at the base of his neck violently. If it wasn't for the guards around him to stop him, the man would just rush forward, completely. The demeanor of choosing people and eating them stunned everyone. At this moment, of course the man's previous demeanor completely disappeared.

Just listen to Leosgross roaring and roaring: "Bitch, you cursed slut, you just want to go back to Muzifeus again, and you have colluded with this kid and framed it. I!"

Although he knew in his heart that it was hard for him to come back, but Leosgros still wanted to struggle to death, and even tore his face, since everything he had hidden before had been exposed to Odoshi. In front of Ya, then this man has no other scruples. The most vicious words were uttered from the mouth of Duke Leo, and the nobles on the trial bench were also astonished.

But Odosia, who was interrupted suddenly, was struck by lightning and her face was ashen as she saw such a sudden scene. Although this woman who has always been gentle and submissive knows that everything before is nothing but the man's performances in front of her, she still has not forgotten the bits and pieces of the past. But at this moment, witnessing such an ugly face is like thousands of arrows pierced into her heart, painful. People cannot breathe.

A feeling of nausea made Odothea feel a tumbling in her stomach, but the woman still endured it. She and Justinian had agreed on everything, Odothea was not prepared because at this time Leosgross And give up what was said before.

I saw that the roaring Leosgros was held back by the guard on the side, and Odosia calmed down her original fluctuating emotions.

"His Royal Highness, of course we believe in your oath, so what else did you have to say to us just now?" Once again, he shook the bell in his hand to signal that the quiet Earl Conil put his gaze on the beautiful one again. Asked the woman.

All the nobles of Moriah nodded their heads to pay tribute to this noble woman, although Odosia repeatedly emphasized, but they still hold her respect for the imperial emperor.

However, Princess Odothea did not look at them at all. The woman first looked at Duke Leo, who disappointed her, and then at Justinian on the side, and Justinian was also watching. This princess, he hasn't said a word since just now, just waiting for Odosia to make her own decision.

After a long silence, Odosia finally spoke: "Before you make the final result of the trial, I still want to add one point, although objectively, Duke Leo did make many acts that endanger the empire, causing Wiscar The situation in Ribourg was deteriorating when the Venetians were besieged, but the big reason was because of a desperate wrong choice for the worsening of the situation at the time. In the previous letter, you also saw that there was no direct collusion with the Venetians in the letter. Content, so please look at everything he did for Moria against the Latins, and open the net."

Once again, beyond everyone's expectation, despite being treated like this, Princess Odosia still pleaded for Duke Leo, who was well-proven, and Justinian did not say anything against this, let alone. Let the nobles on the stage look at each other. And Leosgros, who was furious and frustrated before, also looked blank, wondering what was going on.

What they didn’t know was that this was the agreement reached between Justinian and Princess Odosia. In exchange, she came forward to provide evidence to bring down Duke Leo, thus avoiding the appearance of the Papadoros family. Justinian promised that he would never kill Leos Gross. The original felony of colluding with Venice’s treason was turned into a crime of attempting to politically assassinate and appease the enemy, although Leosgros would also have no place to stand in Moria, but at least one life could be brought back. This is the only thing Odosia can do for her husband.

And after listening to Princess Odosia's narration, the other nobles also looked at each other and were noncommittal.

"So what do you think, Lord Justinian?"

At this moment, the ugly face of Earl Conil had no choice but to look at Justinian and ask. At this moment, there is hard evidence as to how to make a trial and only ask for his opinion. Although they were unwilling to have such a scandal among them, but at this time, the Moria nobles who had been aloof before were already powerless.

But Justinian nodded unexpectedly and said: "I respect the opinions of the princess, and the power of judgment is in your hands. I only have one condition, that is, the merits are not worthy. Even though Duke Leo once served for the empire He has made great contributions, but he has also received relative glory, and now he must pay the same price for what he has done. What do you say, everyone?" Justinian said with an ironic smile on his face. .

The nobles who were run by Justinian's words were not dissatisfied at all, but they were relieved. Since Justinian's attitude has been somewhat loosened in his words, then everything is easy to say, as long as the charge of treason is not implemented. , Then it will not be a big blow to them. And looking at the various expressions of the nobles above, Leosgros finally showed a desperate expression at this moment. He couldn't understand these egoists anymore. Since Justinian promised not to expand the influence of this matter, even if he was the superior Duke of Corinth before, he was also abandoned by the interest group Moria at this moment. There is no hesitation.

I saw the several nobles of Moria headed by Conil and then turned their backs to Justinian below. They whispered and exchanged eyes, and finally showed a relieved look. Obviously these people have done it. Okay. Although this solution is not perfect, it solves the major problems they are facing. Although they are unwilling, it is wise to compromise with Justinian.

Looking at all this, Justinian, Leosgros, and Princess Odosia all understood the decisions made by these nobles.

So, with an air of awe-inspiring expression in Justinian's eyes, Earl Conil slowly stood up and looked down below and announced:

"In the name of the empire, I declare that Duke Leosgros will be sentenced to exile for treason. During his lifetime, he will not have any right to board the land with the imperial eagle flag, and he is in the imperial eagle. All property will be confiscated, his family name will be erased, his existence will be forgotten, until he knows his sin and life will go to hell."

As soon as this statement came out, both Justinian and Odothea had already expected it. Since Leosgros could not be saved, in order to ensure that the loss was minimized, Justinian had been sued before. The nobles who do everything possible to make things difficult will not be sentimental. This penalty of exile is second only to the death penalty. Although it seems much better than hanging by the tower, it is even more cruel. Because the latter is only physical destruction, while the former completely destroys the social existence of the exiled, the senator will often take this as revenge after the death of the Roman tyrant in the imperial era. For a nobleman, this is probably more uncomfortable than death.

Seeing all this, Leosgros felt like he was spinning around the world, and he couldn't even stand firmly. He knew what it meant, and he wanted to roar, but he had no strength anymore. , Exhausted his strength and glanced at Justinian bitterly, and the man who was dozens of years old and frustrated was taken away by the guard as if he had collapsed.

Looking at the distant figure, Princess Odosia also showed a tired look on her face, and saw her whispering towards Justinian beside her: "Remember the promise you made, Justin Nijun, otherwise I will never let you go. Now I... I can no longer trust anyone." At this moment, the woman who had always been meek seemed to be a different person, and her voice was transparent. With a cold and hard taste.

And for this, Justinian did not have the slightest surprise, and nodded calmly: "Please rest assured that I will keep my promise." Looking at the eyes of the woman in front of him, Justinian's eyes did not. Any flashes replied, as if at this moment, there were only two of them in this huge palace.

At the same time, as the trial finally came to an end, the nobles who meant nothing left their seats one after another, preparing to leave. Undoubtedly, most of the people were disappointed with the result. They didn't have any at all. It was expected that Duke Leo had done such a shameful act, but the few real high-ranking people were fortunate. They knew from the beginning that even though they eventually compromised with Justinian, at least this was already The best result.

Looking at Grand Duke Anastasius, who had been silent, Count Conil slowly walked down from the table and passed by the old man, "Is this really the result you want? At this moment, we are in our own You actually bowed your head to an eastern kid on the site of the city. Is this what you want to see?" Count Conil asked with a sneer.

However, the old man in a wheelchair slowly closed the Bible in his hand, and only faintly replied, "Of course it is not this..." The guard next to Salius pushed the wheelchair away from the sight of the nobles.

The old man in a wheelchair left the trial hall straight away, while the rain outside the palace was still pattering, and boarding the carriage that had been prepared for a while, the silent old man closed his eyes and rested, as if he hadn’t felt what had happened before. The slightest care.

"It's rare, Grand Duke, you will also appreciate their feelings!" Seleius, who was serving on the side of the carriage, said suddenly tentatively.

"Am I?" Grand Duke Anastasius asked, who suddenly opened his eyes.

"Earl Conil asked you if you would like to see this happening~www.ltnovel.com~ Didn't you answer?" Saliuus asked the Grand Duke in front of him curiously.

But Anastasius shook his head, "You misunderstood, Salleus, what I don't want to see is not what Justinian did, but the paranoia and selfishness of these nobles. , Maybe I was too indifferent to the world before, so that the situation now has to be supported by such a young boy, which is just so sad for me!" The old man let out a sigh, and he did not intervene from beginning to end. Meaning, watching Justinian and the other nobles of Moria with cold eyes, he discovered that the frustration of these two decades has made him unaware that the entire Moria has long been rotten in his bones. The Justinian who appeared in front of him was just a good medicine, but it would inevitably meet the root of all decay—the fierce resistance of these nobles. The old man who understood this also confirmed his original choice at this moment.

...

...

...

"Everything is over. Estimating the time, the paddle boat that expelled Liosgros this morning should have set off." After the night of wind and rain ended, the first ray of sunlight in the morning fell into the secluded monastery. , Grand Duke Anastasius let out a faint sigh and looked at Justinian beside him.

"It's over for the time being." Despite this, Justinian was noncommittal. He looked at Anastasius in front of him and wondered what was it that made this high-powered old man want to see him specially. .

And looking at the doubts on Justinian’s face, Anastasius didn’t have any surprises, and immediately said, "Justinian, you are interested in truly taking charge of the entire Moriah and even the entire empire. ?"
