Eagle Flag of Epirus

"For Justinian, is it worth it, Miss Alexia?" Zoe shook her head helplessly as she looked at the girl who couldn't get in. She tried to persuade Alexia to give up, Leo. Sgross had already given a condition, as long as Alexia was willing to surrender, the previous things would be wiped out. The position of the Papadolos family in Moria will also remain the same.

But Alexia didn’t even turn her head back. She sat on the bedside through the bars of the prison wall, watched the snowflakes flutter in the dark night, and said faintly: “There is nothing worth or not. At the moment my mother died, he and I did not agree with him. It is not so much that I am loyal to Lord Justinian... rather I am loyal to my own heart."

"Since you have said so, I respect your decision. This is what such consequences mean, you should know." Seeing that Alexia could not be persuaded, Mrs. Zoe said very calmly, actually to the girl She was not surprised by her reaction. After all, the seemingly weak aristocratic girl in front of him grew up by herself, and Zoe couldn't understand her character. What actually hides under this appearance is an extremely proud heart, and it is impossible for her to choose to give in.

After listening, the look on Alexia's face remained unchanged. Although this woman was the person she trusted the most, she betrayed her at the last moment, but now she has no complaints in her heart. Most are calmly accepting their own destiny.

Zoe closed the heavy prison door and finally left. Once again, only Alexia was in the empty cell. Except for the crackling noise from the charcoal fire, everything was quiet. And Alexia, who didn't say a word, finally stood up slowly, looked up at the deep night sky through the window, and remembered the heroic figure in her heart. I saw that the girl showed a very pious look, and muttered a prayer toward the sky: "My merciful God! Please grant me courage and justice to Lord Justinian, with the blessing of the holy sword Bless his martial arts, even if the nations are enemies, they should be killed. The birds will eat their flesh, and after they die, they will be thrown into the lake of fire burning with sulfur. Where he does, sinful betrayal It will be like the darkness being dispelled by the dawn, and all the decay will be annihilated in his justice, and he will never be able to touch this pure land again, Amen."

...

On the other side, Mrs. Zoe, who had left the prison, saw Duke Leosgros who had been waiting for her for a long time when she came out.

Seeing the expression on this grandmother Zoe’s face, Duke Leo knew the result without asking, and said with a sneer: "Huh, you are wasting your time here again, Zoe. I have given the kid a chance. But she was destined to be as stupid and stubborn as her mother, blindly trusting others, and ultimately ruining her life. The difference is that her mother believed in me, and she chose to believe in Justinian. But until now , But she still holds unrealistic expectations. And you still want to plead with me for her.” As he spoke, Leosgros’s words were full of sarcasm, if it weren’t for Zoe in front of him. If she had pleaded before, Alexia would never survive now, but the girl's insatiable attitude was gradually eroding Leosgros' patience.

Upon seeing this, Mrs. Zoe also immediately heard that her master had become more and more impatient with Alexia’s uncooperation, but she still held the last glimmer of hope and pleaded: "Please give me some more time. , Alexia is still just a child. There will always be some innocence that young people have, but after all she will understand that in the world of real grown-ups, she always cares about weighing the pros and cons, and it will definitely be available to you at that time. After all, it is controlled. She is also more useful for comforting the Papadolos family."

Persuaded by this half-truth, Zoe finally temporarily persuaded Duke Leosgros.

"Whatever you do, but there is a prerequisite you have to understand, Zoe, my patience is absolutely limited, even you are the same." Zoe, as a dark chess set by him, finally made great achievements this time, and it is right. Because of this, Leosgros decided to give her another chance, but this time he also gave her an ultimatum thoroughly.

Knowing that this was the biggest concession that Leosgros had made, she had to accept it. The woman still chose to nod her head, no matter how much Alexia hated herself, Zoe, who watched that child grow up, still couldn’t do it. To be indifferent.

Seeing the expression on the woman's face, Leosgros smiled contemptuously~www.ltnovel.com~ Do it for yourself, Zoe, don't let me be disappointed in you. "After that, the man turned around and was about to leave here. An Alexia is still out of the wheel and it makes him bother too much.

But behind him, Mrs. Zoe, who was wanting to speak, stopped calling him again.

"Master Duke..."

"What's wrong?" Leosgros, who was about to leave, stopped and turned to look at the woman in front of him with a cold face. Leosgros asked with some disapproval. He has wasted a lot of time here today.

I saw Zoe looking at Leos Gross thinking about it, and finally plucked up the courage to ask: "My lord Duke, about you sending my brother to the south. I just want to know if he is safe now. Can you tell me? Me?" It can be said that Zoe's only relative in this world is her brother, who is dependent on each other for the loyalty of the Sgros family, just like a puppet who can only obey orders. Ten years ago, she was inserted into the Papadolos family by Leosgros, and it is rare to see her brother who is the steward of the Sgros family. After spending a lot of her youth and finally getting rid of her false identity and returning, she learned that her brother, who was over sixty years old, went to the south to perform a dangerous mission to contain Justinian. She had to feel extremely worried about this.

However, what responded to her was only Leos Gross’s attitude with very subtle words, “Are you talking about Stapulos, don’t worry, it’s just dealing with some small things, there shouldn’t be a problem with his ability. As for the news, let’s wait for the moment. I believe you will be able to see it after you get rid of Justinian.” After talking about Leosgross, he also seemed to be somewhat ambiguous and stopped staying and turned away. However, Looking at the back of the Duke leaving, the uneasy feeling in Zoe's heart couldn't help but add another point.
