Eagle Flag of Epirus

Among the ruins of the monastery, Justinian walked silently among the rubble, he still chewed on his remorse. But at this moment, the sound of small footsteps came from behind him, but it shocked him who had been thinking deeply.

Didn’t you tell them not to come? I just want to be alone. Justinian turned around and was about to speak, but saw the familiar woman standing behind him for some time. No one else, but Odosia, the princess of the Empire. She had just finished a solemn funeral and rushed over to look for Justinian, who had never been seen.

"Your Royal Highness...?" Justinian, who was a little surprised, was about to step forward and leaned forward to salute.

But she was stopped by Princess Odosia in front of her, "I've said it several times, Justinian, there is no need for us to show such a pompous courtesy." I just listened to this woman crossed angrily. The waist said to Justinian, that the two of them had experienced everything before, and they had been close friends and generally trusted each other. Naturally, what she said was sincere. In fact, Odosia didn't take her princess status very seriously, and she never cared about these red tapes. Seeing Odosia's insistence, Justinian had to get up a little embarrassed. In front of this woman, he did not have the aura and majesty of a prince in the past.

"Yes, Your Highness. But how do you know I am here?"

"Don't worry about that, everyone in the city is waiting for you to show up on such an important thing today, but you are still absent. I can't say nothing, right?" Odosia looked at the young man in front of her with a bit of irritation. Justinian, today should have been the best time to excite people, but he was wasted in vain.

"It turned out to be this thing!" Justinian scratched his head with some embarrassment. The princess, who was a few years older than him, completely inherited her mother's character, and was precise in everything. I'm afraid no one would have thought that Moria's little fox, who had made the Latins terrified, looked like a kid who made mistakes in front of this woman.

But in the bottom of his heart, there was a wave of helplessness. This must have been caused by Arslan and the others. The news that they were here was only known to a few of them. I just wanted to come here to relax, but I didn't want to alarm Odosia over.

"You're still blaming yourself and depressed for what happened before, don't you?" Princess Odosia, who suddenly turned around, looked at Justinian calmly and asked. From the end of the war until now, she has not seen Justinian again, and the young man came here alone at this moment, and Odosia suddenly guessed his heart knot. Although he had been persuaded before, it was obvious that he was still unable to completely relieve Justinian.

"..."

I saw that Justinian was silent at this time, because he could not deny what Odosia said. He had always thought in his heart that he could do nothing to lose, but now he has fallen into the ability to treat himself. Doubts. The ark of the covenant brought himself here only to find those pieces, but now he is trying to save the survival of an empire.

Whether this was a passionate ambition or a ridiculous delusion, even Justinian himself could not be sure.

But when he was deeply shaken in his heart, he heard Odosia’s peaceful but powerful words.

"Although there is no guarantee that you will fully appreciate the torment that you are currently enduring in your heart. But, Justinian, I still hope you can understand that no matter what other people have placed on you before, you don't have to endure so much, because A person’s power is ultimately limited. And when you understand that when you are fighting alone, there are actually many people who have been walking in the dark to fight shoulder to shoulder with you, supporting you to finish the road ahead. When you guide the light, all enemies in front of you will be gone."

"But the road I walked on was an extremely rugged road full of thorns, so much so that I am now hesitating whether the path I chose was a mistake." At this moment, Justinian's heart seemed to be opened, and suddenly He muttered to himself, and said the suspicion of self in his heart.

But Odosia shook her head and said: "Of course not, as the saying in the Bible says [I have already fought the good battle, and I have done the way I should go. I kept it. From now on, there will be a crown of righteousness for you to keep.] All you need to do is to believe in yourself and it is enough. This is also the last word of Duke Anastasius on that day."

These short and simple words were like a pair of invisible hands soothing the trembling in the bottom of my heart, and all of a sudden, he made up for the hole in Justinian's chest.

Did Grand Duke Anastasius say the same...Although he was only a nominal adopted son, Justinian had always maintained the highest respect for the old man~www.ltnovel.com~ and recalled that he was with Ah when he left before. The disagreement caused by Nastasius' disagreement caused mixed feelings.

At this moment, those deep blue eyes that had been deep before became clear at the same time, and finally, the light of the past regained in the eyes, and Justinian said in a calm tone: "Please rest assured, Your Royal Highness. , I understand what you mean, I won’t be depressed anymore, just going up the mountain to adjust my mentality is almost the same. Thank you for what you said to me today!"

At first, Justinian only thought that Odosia was just a member of the rotting aristocracy of the Roman Empire, but over time, the more he came into contact with him, the more he could feel the extraordinaryness of this woman. , And the admiration for her is even more serious. Perhaps after he puts an end to the troubled times, the empire under the rule of someone like her may hope to restore its former glory.

What Justinian didn't know was that in Odosia's eyes, he was the one who could do everything that everyone expected.

Come on, Justinian! May the blessing of Heavenly Father grant you to save this country from crisis and end this long night. The former emperor who watched Justinian walk out of depression said silently in her heart.

But at this time, the woman didn't realize that she was already hot, as if she was walking in a sea of ​​fire. The next moment Odosia only felt that her eyes were blurred as if she was about to fall into a dark abyss again. But the anxious and concerned voice in the ear pulled her back from the edge of losing consciousness.

"Your Royal Highness...Odothia!"

The panicked Justinian hurriedly supported the wobbly emperor, only to feel that the female assassin in his arms was as hot as a charcoal fire.
