Eagle Flag of Epirus

But Princess Odosia, who stood in the distance and watched all of this, calmly watched it all, neither leaving nor participating in it. Although this triumphal ceremony was actually held for Justinian, the woman's real purpose was to observe this big boy named Justinian in this way.

　　Although he seemed a little timid and naive in this regard, Justinian’s performance did not disappoint Odosia. At least today's empire needs not a mediocre master, but someone who can really turn the tide. Before she knew it, Odosia had regarded Justinian as the most suitable candidate, and now she finally understood why Muzfius chose him.

At this moment, the little Helena, who had fallen asleep in her mother’s arms, finally woke up but pulled her mother’s dress, pointed at the triumphant army, opened her eyes and asked curiously: "Mom, mom, that’s the one Uncle, what is he doing!" Although she was young, the little girl still had some impression of Justinian. In her daughter's eyes, Odosia found that there was nothing but curiosity in her pure eyes. There seems to be some different emotions.

　　 On the other side, Justinian, who got out of the crowd in a military uniform, also walked towards Princess Odosia, and slowly saluted:

　　 "I have troubled you, Your Royal Highness!"

"This is what you and your subordinates deserve. In the Battle of Athens, more than 5,000 enemy troops were annihilated. At any time, it was enough to make a triumphal victory, not to mention that the current empire is also right. It takes an exciting victory to inspire everyone's courage." Just listen to Odosia said lightly.

But Justinian shook his head: "I'm not talking about this. It is you who managed the city in an orderly manner during my absence. Without your help, I am afraid I have no intention of enjoying this triumph. formula."

　　 Odosia was a little surprised at first, and then she showed a meaningful smile, and her admiration for Justinian deepened in her heart. "This is what I should do, isn't it? Just like you told me to regain the responsibilities of the empire. Unfortunately, there is no way to prepare an olive branch for you, otherwise this triumph will be even more exciting."

　　 Odosia, who participated in the observation as a child, still remembers the memory of that time still fresh, and naturally feels very regretful compared to today's embarrassment. But Justinian showed a bitter smile, his eyes drifted to the nobles not far away, and complained half-jokingly: "Don't do this, otherwise, I am afraid it will only make those guys more uncomfortable. I, even though I am the adopted son of Grand Duke Anastasius and the heir of Duke Moriah in name, those guys still haven't seen me as a person like before."

"It all depends on your own choice, isn't it?" However, as soon as Justinian's joke was finished, an old and hoarse voice suddenly sounded, "As a superior, you must always choose a path that belongs to you. Now that you have embarked on a journey that is destined to be difficult and difficult, you have to get used to this kind of loneliness. Blindly compromise is useless, and they are just a stumbling block to your future progress."

At this time, Justinian and Princess Odosia both turned their heads subconsciously with a slight surprise. They saw that Grand Duke Anastasius, who had been staying in the monastery, appeared behind him at some unknown time. The monk held a cane studded with turquoise turquoise stone, and the old man greeted them kindly.

　　 "It's been a long time. I haven't asked about the world for two months. I didn't expect to hear your good news when I came out of the monastery to breathe, my child." Anastasius looked at Justinian and smiled.

　　 And Justinian immediately leaned over to salute, and said in a tone that was still somewhat unaccustomed: "My father."

But the old man poked Justinian’s shoulder with a cane and said, “It’s fine if you don’t have anyone else in private, just call it as you are used to. You are awkward, and my old man is also awkward. If my child is still there, Maybe my grandson is about the same age as you." The smiling lord took away the regrets of the past, turning his head and saluting Odosia in front of him:

　　 "Same as Gui'an, my dear princess, I wish you good health!"

　　 Although the status is noble and prominent, but compared to the real purple-clothed nobleman, the identity of the father at this time has to be sidelined. In this regard, the Grand Duke Anastasius did not mean to rely on the old to sell the old.

　　 And in the same way, Princess Odothea also strictly guards the duty of a junior, and is equally respectful and respectful without the slightest fatigue. "May God's blessings also bestow you on your body and health!"

"Well, it's been a long time, hello, little Helena, do you remember Grandpa?" Grand Duke Anastasius waved at the little girl in Odosia's arms, showing the rare elders on his face. kindly.

　　 And little Helena, who is only two or three years old, also nodded and responded sweetly: "Well, of course I remember you, Grandpa!"

"Then grandpa is so happy. In the past two months, I have been afraid that little Helena will forget my old bone!" said Grand Duke Anastasius, who was laughing, stroking his big beard. .

　　 The happy girl obviously liked this elder very much, blinking excitedly, jumped down from her mother’s arms and grabbed the old man’s robe to act coquettishly.

　　 "Grandpa, did you bring me a gift this time!"

　　 "Don't be so rude, Helena..."

　　 "Helena, don't be so rude..."

What the embarrassed mother said~www.ltnovel.com~ The little girl seemed to have heard nothing. Gu Zi looked at Anastasius with expectant eyes, while the old man smiled kindly and took out one. The little gift was handed to the little girl.

"Wow! So beautiful……"

　　 is a small pendant, but the workmanship is exquisite. , Captured the girl's heart all at once.

　　 "Grandpa, thank you, I will cherish this."

　　 "Just like it, just like it." The old man seemed to like children in his heart, and the eyes of little Helena looked like a kind and kind grandfather doting on his granddaughter.

　　 "This is too expensive." Princess Odosia, who was deeply uncomfortable, wanted to refuse, but was stopped by Grand Duke Anastasius.

"It's rare for me to go out and walk around. I won't let me make a share of this little thought? I finally got out of the monastery. I have to give me a face. If you two are free, you can come to my house as a guest. That's right. Let the little girl accompany me to pass the time!" Turning his gaze back, the old man, whose expression was restored, said seriously, and Odosia and Justinian were both slightly taken aback at the same time, but quickly understood Ana. The true intention of Grand Duke Stasius doing this. The two looked at each other and nodded without hesitation.
