Eagle Flag of Epirus

　　 The Bolgar stopped because the bows and arrows of the Epirus army had aimed at them.

"Stop, Bolgar, don’t let me say it a second time!" Simeon warned standing on the pass. At this moment, he was uneasy. Although the number of these Bolgars was small, his soldiers would be very resistant. reluctantly.

　　 Furthermore, not long ago, the Bolgars severely injured the Latins, Simeon had to be jealous, and he did not want to conflict with each other as much as possible.

　　 While looking at the heavily armed Epirus, Ivan Asen prevented Loveviy, who was about to attack, and did not let his men take up weapons.

"I am here to visit the Mikhail dictatorship on behalf of Ivan of the Kingdom of Bulgaria by the order of the Tsar. I hope you will allow us to go to Rusnina." Ivan drove his horse to the pass and shouted, without a trace. The domineering attitude is neither humble nor overbearing.

　　 "Grand Duke?!" Hearing what the other party said, Simien climbed up the pass and saw a young and surprising boy below. Obviously, judging from the appearance of other Bolgars, this young man is indeed extraordinary. But he claims to be the Grand Duke but Simeon finds it incredible. Why does such a young Grand Duke appear here? The man couldn't help but be suspicious.

"With all due respect, it is difficult for Your Highness to come with the army to make me not doubt your purpose. I am responsible for the defense of this place, and I am forgiven. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude." Simien rejected Ivan Asen's request. , With a wave of his hand, more archers around came out from the wall to draw bows and arrows in a deterrent manner.

The male horn of Loveviy was also furious because of Epirus' reaction, "You are presumptuous, believe it or not, I will burn you jade and stone now." The Paulgar warrior, wearing heavy armor behind him, also drew a strong bow and aimed at the wall. The Epirus soldiers who were on board, the tense atmosphere made everyone's hearts jump into their throats.

　　 "Uncle!" But at this moment a little boy's voice suddenly sounded and attracted people's attention.

　　 Justinian took little John down from the carriage at some point, and when he saw Simeon little John standing on the wall, he got excited and rushed over.

　　 That is his uncle! What Vasily said was the only relative of Little John in Epirus.

　　 "John?" Simeon also recognized his nephew at a glance. Although he had been separated for more than a year, he also recognized the son of his elder brother who was killed in battle.

Simeon did not hesitate to order his subordinates to open the gate to let his nephew in without even thinking about it, but Ivan Asen, who did not expect this scene, also made his subordinates not act rashly. He looked at him with little John beside him. Justinian, who came over, couldn't help asking: "It seems that you have been prepared before. But I am very curious what you are going to do next."

　　 I had always thought that Justinian was playing mystery on Ivan Asen, and he couldn't help but be suspicious. There are too many suspicious things about this boy of a different age. The instinctive Ivan Asen felt that Justinian had a threat to him. But even if the child was the nephew of General Epirus, the other party might not let him go.

　　 But Justinian looked confident, "Don't worry, he will let us go, Your Royal Highness."

　　 This made Ivan Asen even more weird about Justinian. He always felt that the other party was using them, but there was no evidence.

　　 On the other side, as soon as Little John entered the city gate, he threw himself into his uncle's arms like a chick and burst into tears. "Uncle Simeon, I finally found you."

Simeon also comforted his nephew, watching the malnourished little John feel like a knife. When the Crusaders attacked Constantinople, his brother died in battle. He fled to Epirus and lost contact. It's easier to feel better when the only son of the elder brother is safe. "How is your mother, why is she not with you?"

　　 But seeing the look on the boy's face, Simeon immediately understood that John's mother must have also been killed in the catastrophe.

"Don't be sad. Anyway, it's safe now. I will definitely avenge the Latins for your parents. Why did you come here with these Bolgars?" Simeon couldn't help but calm down his excitement. How did little John trek here from Constantinople.

"Brother Justinian escorted me here. By the way, he wants me to give you this thing." Little John suddenly remembered something, and gave him a letter hidden in his arms. .

　　 "Justinian...what is this?" Simien took the letter suspiciously, confused.

　　 But John shook his head. Justinian asked him temporarily before, and he didn't know what it was. "I don't know either, but he said you will know when you watch it."

　　 Simeon hesitated for a moment, and finally he opened the letter cautiously, but it was blank and nothing was written on it.

"What the hell?" The man murmured thinking that this was teasing himself~www.ltnovel.com~ However, when he opened the letter completely, he saw the golden stamps on the top and bottom of the blank letter paper. It was like being struck by lightning, Simien couldn't help his whole body. Shocked.

　　 "Uncle, what's the matter with you?" John asked Simeon in a puzzled manner, looking at him in despair.

　　 And Simeon couldn't help muttering to himself, "This is the Golden Seal Edict, this is the Golden Seal Edict, how is this possible? How could he have such a thing?" The golden seal on the blank letter paper in his shaking hands was particularly dazzling.

　　 Of course he knows what it is. This is the Golden Seal Edict of the Roman Empire. Even the emperor would not easily sign it. At the beginning, the Venetians helped the Imperial Navy to obtain the Golden Seal Edict and obtained trade privileges. But how could the one named Justinian outside have such a thing?

　　 There was confusion in his mind, and Simeon didn’t know what to do for a while...

　　 But outside the pass, the patience of the Bolgars was almost consumed. Seeing Justinian's calm and relaxed look, Loveviy finally couldn't help but drew out the long sword from his waist.

　　 "Are you kidding us, you **** Greeks?"

　　 But Bihar rushed out to face Lovewij's sword, and sneered: "Be respectful, this is not Bulgaria, and you can't tolerate your arrogance."

　　 The business travelers who had secretly complained about Justinian also took up arms to block the menacing Bolgars. At this time, people with the same hatred did not care about the predecessors, and the atmosphere dropped to freezing point.

　　 But whether it was Justinian or Ivan Asen, the two young men were silent. At this very moment, the gate that was originally closed actually opened the gate.

　　 Simeon riding a horse slowly came out from inside, "You can pass."
