Eagle Flag of Epirus

Vol 2 Chapter 8: Adopted son

   "You can go through here." Simeon's actions shocked everyone, and he had almost given up, but Simeon changed his mind at this moment to allow Ivan Assen to pass.

   This sudden change surprised the caravan and the Bulgar people, but Ivan Asen looked at Justinian but looked calm.

   "I'm very curious how you did it. It is impossible to convince the Epirus people just by that child."

   And Justinian shrugged and replied: "I will explain then, Your Highness Ivan, but now I think you should be able to trust me to some extent!"

"It's hard to tell, you are a very powerful person, I can't see through you at all, but I'm glad we are not enemies for the time being." Ivan didn't even look at Justinian. He didn't have the usual approachable demeanor, riding a horse with hands Entered the pass.

   "Hey, can I let Mr. Dekulin and the others go now? I think they have nothing to do with the next thing now." Justinian asked as far away as Ivan Assen.

   "Whatever, they are not important anymore." Ivan did not look back and agreed to Justinian's request.

Justinian looked at Ivan’s back, with a hint of chill in his eyes, and said to himself: "It is indeed temporary." Liang Ren had already seen the nature of the other party from the beginning, some kind of They are very similar in meaning, so they don't even bother to cover up when talking. But for now, Justinian still holds the initiative, and Ivan Asen, as the Grand Duke of Bulgaria, did not take Justinian completely seriously.

   Obviously Justinian made the right bet again, and the plan had already taken shape when it was learned that John's uncle was in Epirus. The power of the "Golden Seal Edict" forged from the royal seal found in the secret room of Alex III is more useful than Justinian thought, and Ivan Asen was kept in the dark, even if he had doubts. Grab the handle.

At this time, everyone really believed that Justinian was really a heavy exiled aristocrat of Constantinople as he claimed. On the contrary, Dekulin and others felt embarrassed to face Justinian. Denny’s suspicion.

"Thank you for your help just now, Mr. Dekulin, Mr. Bihar and everyone. I'm sorry to involve you. But at least you can leave here safely now. This is the only thing I can do." Justin Nello looked at the business travelers apologetically and thanked them. If these people hadn't stood up in time, he would be very disadvantaged in the face of the aggressive Bolgar. He looked at the people in front of him sincerely and said.

   This actually made everyone even more embarrassed. It was obvious that they had been complaining about this young man these days.

On the contrary, Bihar laughed and broke the embarrassing atmosphere, "Anyway, we are all Romans. Of course, we are on your side to deal with the Paulgar barbarians. Of course, we also complained about you in the back. It's also clear." This bold man opened the door at this moment and everyone couldn't help but laugh, but the knot between the two sides opened at this time.

   "Anyway, thank you for escorting us here."

"Don't worry, if there is any need for our help in the future, I will not hesitate." Bihar stretched out his hand and made a promise, and his mercenaries also nodded and agreed. These heroic men, even though they are more usual. Some ridicule Bihar, but this time he is looking forward to his boss.

   "Then let's go, take care, and hope that we will see you next time in the restored Constantinople." Deculin also walked up to Justinian.

   "Take care." Although he didn't get along much, Justinian still felt a slight warmth in his eye sockets and said goodbye to everyone. Justinian got back into the carriage.

   Muzfius, who was silent, suddenly said: "You always surprise me, like an onion, peeling a layer of secrets and a secret, you can never guess."

   "Onion? Just praise me for the first time." Justinian replied with a heartless look.

   But Muzfius saw Justinian’s disguise, "Actually, you are using these Bolgars to increase your bargaining chip with Mikhail?"

   Muzfius’ words shocked Justinian. He didn’t expect the other party to see his intentions.

"Almost. An emperor in exile with the support of the Bulgarian tsar may fascinate Epirus." Justinian did not hide it from Muzifius at all. After all, he had to rely on this man to convince that one. Mikhail has taken the dictatorship.

"A very risky move. You not only deceived the Bolgars but also the Bolgars. If you show your feet, you may die without a burial place. Fortunately, it is still a success." Muzfius pondered this for a long time. I guessed it, and I couldn't help but let out a cold sweat by Justinian's madness. "I hope this kind of thing is the last time you make a good claim... I don't want you to kill your life early~www.ltnovel.com~ The heavy words of the man slightly touched Justinian’s heartstrings, and he was a little surprised by Mu What Zfius said.

   "I see... Your Majesty." Justinian hesitated slightly, but finally nodded.

   But then Muzfius’ words were completely unexpected by Justinian.

"I thought for a long time, Justinian, would you like to be my adopted son? I have no children, and you are my heir. So I don't want you to do such a risky move again." Muzfius finally A decision was made-he needed a person who he trusted the most when he went to Epirus, and after the Justinian test, he thought that this young man was fully qualified. He was courageous and courageous, and the only thing he lacked was thorough experience.

   But Justinian was a little caught off guard. Although he wanted to help Muzifius to regain his power, the emperor in front of him was ready to adopt him as his adopted son as his successor.

But Justinian didn’t get dazzled. After hesitating for a moment, he replied happily: “I’m afraid I can’t agree to it now...” Adopting a son is not uncommon in the history of the Roman Empire, and many emperors came to the throne in this way , But what Justinian really feared was that Mikhail despot. If he appeared as the successor of Muzfius, could he really tolerate his own existence? Justinian had to hesitate, he did not dare to get involved in the vortex of the power core prematurely.

And Muzfius also seemed to be aware of something, and slowly said: "You don't have to answer me now, I understand your concerns, but I will give you time to fully consider it, but it is time for my broken body. Not much. And the only thing I can trust is you." The man's voice was extremely heavy, but Muzfius did not continue to insist.
