Eagle Flag of Epirus

"Master Justinian, you are finally back!"

In the hotel where the group of people stayed temporarily, Arslan, who had not been able to find Justinian but was anxious, saw that the young man finally came back safely and appeared in front of him and he was relieved.

"Where did you go? We were worried to death during this period, but fortunately, you came back safely."

Seeing the anxious look of the friend in front of him, Justinian couldn’t help feeling warm, until the other party was thinking about his own safety, and then nodded, “I was negligent. I went to see an old friend just now. You forgot to make you bother."

"It's nothing for us to bother, but you didn't come for a long time, and I asked a few people under my hand to find you. But I found traces of fighting in a small alley. It really surprised us, so I took it on my own initiative. His Royal Highness Helena is back. But you'll be fine if you come back." Arslan was able to finally put down a big rock in his heart, but his words made Justinian's heart subconsciously choked.

Fortunately, they left in time, or they might just witness the previous scene being implicated in.

Although Justinian has to settle the account with them for the Genoese besieging themselves sooner or later, but now in Rusnina, he doesn't want to make too much movement, so he doesn't have a calm expression. Tell them what happened to Arslan.

"His Royal Highness Odosia and they should have rested too?" Justinian looked at Arslan next to him and asked suddenly. They won't be here so late, I'm afraid they must be very worried about their safety, too. He had been worried before. But I didn't see Odosia and the others staying up all night, which made me feel a little strange.

But Arslan replied: "His Royal Highness and the others have already slept first. I pretend to say that you will come back late if you have something to do."

"You are doing the right thing. At this time, it is the wisest choice to block news and stabilize people's hearts. Thanks to you thinking of this level." As expected, he is his most important right-hand man. Now the Turkic man in front of him has long since disappeared. The reckless breath at the time of meeting has gradually become an existence that can stand alone, and Justinian can't help but nod in approval.

However, Arslan showed some worried expressions on his face at the moment, he wanted to say nothing, but in the end he told the young adult in front of him his confusion, "However, Lord Justinian, we really should Continue to stay here?"

Unexpectedly, Arslan would ask Justin for a moment, "Why do you say that?"

"It may be intuitive!" The Turkic man smiled bitterly. "What happened in the past few days really makes me feel a little uneasy. Not long ago, my father wrote to me not to let me go to this muddy water. Justin Sir Ni, we can stay in Igoumenitsa without having to come to such a dangerous place!"

Seeing what Arslan said in front of him, Justinian's face sank slightly. He didn't blame his opponent for what he said, but he also didn't have any response. Obviously, he didn't want to continue this topic.

Since Alslan’s father Murad said so, it means that Prince Theodor should understand some of the hidden secrets in Rusnina, and combined with what happened during this period, Arslan said The proposal to withdraw Igoumenitsa is indeed the best policy.

But now—Justinian has a reason to stay here. The words Antonia said to herself before are by no means groundless...No matter what the person’s real cemetery is, he must act.

Full of unstoppable determination, Justinian slowly raised his head and looked at Arslan who asked him with a rusty, rusty look, and slowly said: "I understand what you are worried about, but- —If I really have a reason to stay here, would you like to fight alongside me?"

And watching Justinian utter this sentence with a look that he had never been so serious about himself, Arslan couldn't help but change his expression slightly, and he thought of his father’s letter to him and his worries about Justinian. Can not help but deepen a layer. Struggling in his heart, Arslan finally made a decision, responding to Justinian’s lake-blue eyes with an unwavering gaze, and said:

"If it's you, what reason do I have for continuing to decline, Lord Justinian?"

In the palace of Rusnina, at this moment, the people of Epirus are busy preparing for the grand banquet to be held tomorrow. And it was not just the nobles of Epirus who were present at the scene. All the highlight was to entertain the Genoese mission from afar, and did not finally reach an alliance agreement between the two countries to build momentum.

It can be said that all the Roman nobles below Emperor Mikhail attached great importance to this, and did not dare to be careless. In the middle of the night, the royal chefs and pastry chefs were already preparing for the next day's banquet, and the fine wines from all over the world were also transported into Rusnina. It can be said that everything is there.

"Is everything ready?" Mikhail Dukas asked, looking at his most trusted minister in front of him~www.ltnovel.com~Niki Frustukalian. He left everything in the hands of this man, but he was still a little worried and couldn't help but ask.

And respectfully kneeling under the throne, the man also replied: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, everything is ready and ready, and you will never be disappointed. It's just that I just received the news, Your Majesty. , Your brother, Prince Theodore, will also arrive in Rusnina tomorrow. Look at us—"Since Prince Theodore who sits in Agrinon is self-contained, he basically doesn’t listen to it. He was semi-independent, and he was not included in the invitation list for the banquet.

Upon learning this news, Emperor Mikhail Dukas was not very surprised, he just snorted and said: "Unexpectedly, it is reasonable, but my brother really dared to come. Here, I seem to be able to get it right. I don't dare to touch him now."

Seeing the emperor in front of him smiling and not smiling, under the throne, Nikifrus quickly said: "Please calm down your anger. After this, it will be a military strategy against Thessaloniki. At present, Agrinon is also willing Cooperation, no matter what your Royal Highness Prince Theodor intends, it is still not the time for us to turn our faces with him." For fear of this majesty's sentimentality, Nikifrus is reminding Mikhail.

And Mikhail immediately waved his hand and said: "You don't need to tell me about these things, but that guy thinks he can challenge me, it's ridiculous. It's ridiculous that he has the intention of supporting the kid Justinian. Jie, I will show him this matter sooner or later.” The cold voice rang out in the palace, and the night outside the palace is getting deeper and darker, just like half of the tortuous fate of the empire today. , Only this faint gleam of hope is still struggling and gleaming in the dark.
