Eagle Flag of Epirus

"Leo, our most worried thing really happened. The update is the fastest." Neuski's expression has never been so solemn at this time. If it is really like what the grandmother in front of me said, it is really a big deal. Not good. Now half of the power they rely on to stay here comes from the Papaderos family, and if Alexia really can't control the situation, the consequences will undoubtedly be catastrophic.

On the side, Leo's defense chief nodded silently. He also knew the seriousness of the matter, and his mood suddenly felt extremely heavy. After all, no matter how strong the barrier is, if it is breached from within, no effort will help.

The two exchanged glances, and then made a decision at the same time. Looking at the woman in front of them, they said, "Then, what does Sir Alexia plan to do with this matter? I think she asked you to come over because there should be something to ask us? "

From the current point of view, if someone is really ready to move, then they should have not done anything yet. At this time, the most appropriate countermeasure is to start first.

And I saw Grandma Zoe swallowing her saliva and hesitated for a long time before she said: "Miss Alexia wants to see the two alone first. If you can, please come with me now."

Is the situation already in a hurry? Seeing the nervousness of each other, Nevsky and Leo's defense commander could not help but nodded without hesitation.

"Well, it is not too late for us to leave now."

Speaking of Nevsky and Leo's defense chief, they prepared to take the guards and follow the woman in front of them to see Alexia, but they were stopped by the other party.

"This matter is very important. In order to conceal others, please don't bring too many people with you to prevent others from suspicion."

"Okay." Seeing that the matter was urgent, Nevsky and Leo did not suspect that he had him, so they only took a few entourages and followed the mother to the other courtyard where Alexia was in the monastery. .

The night has come, and the monastery, which has turned into a fortress, is alert to the possible offensive under the mountain. Although it has been encircled, it supports Justinian’s forces under the joint defense of the Papadoros family’s private armed forces and the duke’s guard Repelled the rebels' attacks from time to time.

But the situation at this time was not optimistic at all. The woman was standing upstairs in this ancient monastery chanting and looking down, only to see that the road down the mountain had been completely blocked by Moriah's rebels. If it weren't for this, it used to be the Armed Forces Monastery in Tripolis, and on the day of the rebellion, she took her daughter to come here for mass. I'm afraid it's now in the hands of Leosgros.

"Why are they doing this! Obviously the empire has reached this critical moment of life and death, isn't it?" Although there was neither sadness nor anger on her face, Odosia's whispers were full of pain.

At this moment, behind her, an old voice sounded.

"All tragedies come from the greed of human nature, and in order to satisfy one's greed, everything can be betrayed at will. Isn’t this kind of thing rare in our history? Let’s not say that the usurper Andronika I was far away Wearing his blood-stained filthy crown did not hesitate to restore Venetian trading privileges, making His Majesty Manuel’s efforts in vain. How ironic, but how realistic. Most people always only care about what belongs to them. It's just a benefit. In a sense, the patron can say that he knows the truth." The old man lying sick on the bed said quietly, it was Grand Duke Anastasius. Originally, he was only occasionally ill. He was exhausted physically and mentally because of the sudden rebellion, but it aggravated his condition. However, in a hurry, there is not even a doctor here, so that she can only rely on Odosia, a princess, to take care of the elderly.

In this regard, Odosia, who had learned a little bit of basic medical knowledge from the nuns of the monastery, did not complain, even if Grand Duke Anastasius mentioned her father.

"What you said is not wrong, it is true. If there are more people like you in the country, then maybe all tragedies will not happen." Odosia did not refute, if she really wants to be held accountable. However, her father Alexei III was to bear direct responsibility. During his ten years in power, the imperial politics became increasingly depleted and the armaments became increasingly depleted, so that the 80,000 troops led by the city of Constantinople were defeated in Latin. Before the Crusaders and finally fled and abandoned his people in a hurry, they lost the brightest pearl in the city, Constantinople.

While on the sickbed, looking at the empress who was sincerely repentant in his eyes, Anastasius laughed at himself, coughed weakly and said: "When things are up to this day, what right do I have to say these beautiful things? What? When Andronika usurped the throne, I was frustrated and I went to Moria to live in seclusion, but it was just a way to escape responsibility! It was you~www.ltnovel.com~Honorable Princess, like you I have not seen someone who still remembers the glory of the purple nobleman and is willing to fulfill it for a long time. In a sense, you and Justinian are both'freaks'!"

"'Freak'? Actually, I thought about giving up at one time, until the kid Justinian showed up and said something like that to me. He is really peculiar and can always bring us changes and miracles. . Maybe the future of this country can really be pinned on him!” At this point, Odosia’s face also showed emotion, and it was precisely because she believed in Justinian that even today’s The situation is so critical, but the emperor still feels calm.

But at this moment, on the hospital bed, Grand Duke Anastasius suddenly looked at Odosia in front of him and said solemnly: "Ahhhhhhhhhhh. Princess, this may be the instinct of this old bone of mine. Well, even though it is very unlucky to say these words at this time, cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough...but I still hope that if something unexpected happens to me, you can bring some words to Justinian and count as me The last extravagance of living such a long life.” The old man coughed violently when he said this, and unhealthy flushes appeared on his pale face. And watching this scene, although Odosia tried to hide the sadness on her face, her mood had fallen to the bottom. It was obvious that the Grand Duke Anastasius in front of her had reached the point where the oil lamp had dried up, and if not This sudden rebellion could have avoided all this completely. Despite the grief, but forbearing the emotional fluctuations, Odosia watched the dying old man in front of her and agreed to his last request.
