Eagle Flag of Epirus

Waking up during the turbulent journey, Odosia intuitively felt that her head still had a sharp pain, and a sense of weakness swept through her body, leaving her without the strength to open her eyes. But Odosia struggled to get up, only to find that she was lying in a simple carriage, while the daughter Helena on the side was lying on her lap and fell asleep.

what on earth is it? I just clearly...is it a dream?

Princess Odosia, who just woke up with a mess of memory, lowered her head and thought for a moment, and finally remembered that in the last memory she tried her best to prevent Justinian from going to Tripolis, but the sudden blackness made her eyes. After that, there was no consciousness.

　　 shouldn't it?

Muttering in her heart, Odosia looked at everything around her, and quickly opened the small window of the carriage and looked out. As expected, the outside was no longer the one outside Tripolis. Wasteland, at this moment, she is on the rugged mountain road. And all around the carriage were full-armed Turkic warriors escorting her, but Justinian was not among them.

　　 I still didn't persuade him, Odosia, who was anxious in his heart, subconsciously moved, just to wake up the sleeping daughter next to him.

　　 At this time, Helena, who was sleepy on the side, rubbed her eyes and got up when she heard the movement, but saw her mother who had been sleepy for two days wake up and threw herself into her mother's arms with joy.

"Mom, you finally woke up. You slept for a long time and scared Helena to death!" Helena, who was a child but very sensible, took care of her mother very well, but she was only a child at this moment. Finally cried out with a wow, as if to completely vent all the grievances of his stomach.

Seeing the daughter crying beside her, Odosia couldn’t help feeling sour. At this moment, her heart was full of guilt. As a mother, she even took care of her daughter and gave her a safe environment to grow up. Less than. The only thing she can do now is to try her best to appease her, and although she is still worried about Justinian's safety, now she can only silently pray that the young man can really get the favor of the goddess of luck as always.

　　 While in Tripolis’ prison, another girl, Alexia, who was also worried about Justinian’s safety, once again refused to come to persuade Mrs. Zoe. Even if the woman in front of her had already overwhelmed the conditions at the lowest level, Alexia only needed to publicly announce that she would no longer support Justinian before she could go back safely and continue to be in charge of the Papadolos family. However, this noble girl was still unmoved. Of course Alexia knows that this mother Zoe is actually trying to save her life, but how could she forget who killed her mother in the first place!

　　 Enmity with Leosgros is not in the same breath!

"Alexia, why are you doing this? Maybe you don't want to believe it... But this is also true, that is, your mother joined forces with Justinian just like Lord Leo. And your mother's In a sense, death is also Justinian’s step by step pressing the next kind of last resort. Why do you prefer to be so obsessed? You must know that living is always more important than anything else, at the time, was it Mrs. Agnes? In order to keep the wobbly Papadolos family alive, you have chosen to make mistakes again and again and bring you up with your hard work, but are you willing to let her work in vain?" said the distressed woman, still trying to convince Alexia to give in Her remarks couldn't shake the girl in front of her at all, but instead strengthened her determination.

"That's why Leosgros wanted to kill my mother for that reason, didn't he? Lord Justinian had already identified this matter with me from the very beginning, and I also know that my mother had chosen to be confused for a while. I have taken the wrong path. And because of this, I will never choose the wrong one again this time. I think I know that what this world lacks is never weak imperfections but the courage to fight. Even if it is going towards destruction, I don’t hesitate, because Sometimes there are things that are more important than life." Alexia's answer at this moment did not have any hesitation or weakness, so that Mrs. Zoe in front of her couldn't help but feel her expression. The effort completely failed.

　　 It's just two or three months. The changes that Alexia has brought to Alexia by staying with Justinian far surpassed what Mrs. Agnes had given her through more than ten years of careful training. At this moment, she had grown up completely and became a completely different person from her mother, and as someone who watched Alexia grow up since childhood, Zoe could hear this girl say this in his heart. It was a bit gratifying. She was no longer the puppet who only knew to obey her mother's instructions, but became a truly independent "self." However, Alexia chose to embark on this path of no return, even if she had the heart to save her, it would not help that Duke Leosgros had limited patience with herself and the girl.

At this moment, Mrs. Zoe who took a deep breath finally took out her assassin, and said calmly: "Since you have chosen your own way, then I won't force it anymore. But you don't care about yourself. Can other people's lives be indifferent?"

"Do you mean the Papadolos family now? What do they have nostalgia for me? I am not my mother, and I am not a puppet born for the family." Alexia was cold without raising his eyes. Said coldly.

　　 "Of course it's not them, do you think I will take them seriously?" With the same disdain in her eyes, Mrs. Zoe said. It was she who touched them easily with just a few words.

　　 "Then what do you mean, you can't let Grand Duke Anastasius as long as I choose to give in, right?" Alexia's eyes moved slightly, pretending to be deep.

However, Mother Zoe then shook her head and denied: "How is this possible? Even I don't have the guts to persuade Master Leo. But even so, the terms I give you are already very risky. "

　　 "What conditions...?" Seeing the other party's solemn expression, for a while, Alexia couldn't help but be a little curious about who else had escaped the previous rebellion.

　　 Seeing that the girl in front of her was unsurprisingly shaken in her attitude, she nodded secretly in her heart, and then said the name that made Alexia stunned when she heard it.

　　 "Justinian's best assistant, the Varangian Nevsky."

"How is this possible?!" Hearing the name, Alexia also showed an incredible look, because as far as she knew, most of the people who were loyal to Justinian fought in the rebellion at the monastery. At the last moment, there should be no prisoners except for a few people, not to mention the special status of Niewuski.

　　 But Mrs. Zoe's next words explained everything to Alexia.

"In fact, Lord Leosgros didn't know about this. At that time, an ambush was set up. The man did fight to the last minute and was seriously injured. We thought he was dead, but we have to admire the Varangians. Vitality was finally out of danger. You know, if Leo-sama knows what he will end up with. But Miss Alexia, if you are willing to think about it, you only need a trivial word from you, this man can do it You don’t have to kill your life in vain, and by doing so, you are repaying Justinian’s kindness to you, didn’t you?” Having seen Justinian’s status in the heart of the young girl before her, Mrs. Zoe took the opportunity to lead. , Finally let Alexia, who was already heart-hearted, finally exposed a small inconspicuous crack.

　　 This girl is finally shaken

　　 "I..." Her eyes were full of complicated meaning, and Alexia, who was struggling in her heart, subconsciously opened her mouth, but was interrupted by Mrs. Zoe at this moment.

"You don’t have to answer me so quickly for now, Miss Alexia, you have not eaten or drink for three days. Please use a little before you think about it! At that time I will come back and ask you the last It's decided." Mrs. Zoe, who saw that the girl's heart was shaken, was not in a hurry for success. So this woman chose to deliberately let Alexia take a closer look, but in fact, looking at the girl in front of her who was growing up, she was already quite sure in her heart.

　　Alexia, Alexia, no matter how much you hate me in your heart, it is still I who brought you up. What will you think in your heart? No matter how good the cover is, I can tell.

Mrs. Zoe murmured in her heart. In fact, she had guessed Alexia’s admiration for Justinian a long time ago. After all, at the moment when she lost her mother and was helpless, it was the man who reached out. She saved her by hand, and it is precisely this way that this girl is willing to work so hard, and now she is taking advantage of this, which is the motivation of this child at the moment and her only weakness.

I saw that at this moment, Alexia also fell into silence. I don’t know how long it took. The girl kept her head down and didn’t speak. Finally, the girl slowly opened her mouth: "Let me think about it for a while. And I’m alone. Staying, I want to be quiet." She was finally shaken after thinking about it. She understood the importance of Nevsky to Justinian at this moment and had to hesitate.

Seeing that Alexia’s attitude finally eased, Zoe, who secretly nodded and gleefully gained complete assurance, stopped persuading anything, and said, “Of course there’s no problem. It’s your right, but I just hope it’s not too much. For a long time, after all, the time I buy for you is limited.” After speaking, the woman turned to let the people outside open the door, and asked the jailer below to deliver the prepared meals.

　　 The girl who hadn't entered the water for three days has lost a lot at this moment, I am afraid that if this continues, the weak body will not be able to sustain it at all. Thinking that Alexia would survive, Zoe gave a warning with a nearly stern tone, and then pushed the door to leave for the time being. After all, she knew that the girl actually didn't want to see him the most now.

　　 "Is there still no news from the south?" The man muttered to himself as he looked at the map in front of him. The lack of information these past few days made him a little bit unable to sit still. Although Leosgros has a deep character and a city, this time he faced the scheming Justinian, which made him unable to calm down anyway. After all, the last time he had planted a big somersault was almost impossible.

Obviously, according to his plan, most of everything has now been completed. Leos Grace, who has been waiting for Justinian in Tripolis, still has no news at this time. This makes him think he has a chance to win. This man was a little uneasy at the moment. Because he thought he could be foolproof when he was in Fort Wiscari, so this time he was not 100% sure that he would never act rashly.

　　 But the problem is that his most trusted old housekeeper, Mrs. Zoe’s elder brother, hasn’t heard anything about the old man who went to the south.

　　What's going on? Has the Venetian solved it, and what is Justinian's plan now? Duke Leo knows nothing now. Despite the careful planning this time, Justinian's previous performances had to make him jealous.

　　 Fortunately, despite this, Leos Grace is not too worried now, because at this moment the advantage is still on his side. What Justinian can really rely on is the new army of three thousand people. The limited combat power is a problem. The more important thing is that you can’t arrive here at all for a while, and during this time only the Grand Duke Anastasius The private army and the Latins of Corinth eventually joined them, even if the little fox is cunning, it will not be able to make any waves.

　　 And just as the man was in the midst of thinking~www.ltnovel.com~ there was a knock on the door of his room.

　　 "My Lord Duke!"

　　 "What's the matter? Didn't I say that there is no important thing, don't disturb me!" Some sullen man frowned, he least likes being disturbed when thinking about problems.

　　 At this time, a different voice came from outside the door, "Leo-sama, it's the news from Collins and Andravida that came."

　　 Duke Leo's face suddenly changed at this moment, who was subconsciously surprised, and said quickly: "Come in!"

　　 Seeing that the door was pushed open immediately, a noble with an excited expression could not catch his breath, and Duke Leo, who was eagerly waiting, was also waiting for the final news.

　　 "Tell the Lord Duke, the Latins have agreed to send troops, and Salius who is stationed in Andhravida saw the scepter and accepted our order and is leading the army here."

　　 And the news fell into Leos Grace's ears, and the man's frowning brows finally stretched out, and he let out a chilling sneer.

　　 "Huh ha ha, ok, very good, now everything is ready, even if the little fox is difficult to predict, it will not escape!"
