Eagle Flag of Epirus

"Stop it all!"

Surrounded by the nobles in the crowd, Grand Duke Ivan Asen stopped the impulsive behavior of the whole army in time, and only then did Prince Theodor and his entourage breathe a sigh of relief. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? And with him came another great prince of the kingdom, Bolier Assen. The two of them who were in charge of the military affairs of the large camp had just received the news, and then they hurried over.

And watching the assassinated Czaroyan's body was lifted out, they believed that the original news was true. They immediately rushed up and leaned in grief and howled. This in turn provokes the Bolgar people to share the same enemy. heart of.

"What did it do? Where is the assassin right now? I want to smash him into pieces!" Bolier Assen, who has always been strong temperament, roared angrily, and his eyes were full of blood at this time. It's not like being a fake, obviously very angry.

At this time, the Bulgarian aristocrats who had not said a word cast their eyes on Prince Theodor and his party, and the furious big fat man also looked fiercely at this place.

Seeing the look of choosing someone to eat, the Prince Theodor and others on the side also felt terrified. Obviously everyone put the suspicion on them, but remembered the accusation of the inner servant just now. Odor himself did not believe that Justinian would do such a thing.

It is true that with that person’s skill, it is not impossible to do all this. After all, the reputation of Assassin’s assassins has always been well-known, but Theodor Ducas knows Justinian’s personality better. Now Thessaloni Cal City is already right in front of him. How could he do such a stupid thing to make the plan fall short.

This must be someone who wants to frame Justinian!

Theodore, who was convinced of this, finally recovered his composure, and at this time Bolier Assen himself had already walked in front of him, and suddenly drew his sword and pointed it at him.

"presumptuous!"

The guards around Theodor Ducas were frightened and drew their knives in their hands to guard their prince, but the burly Bolier didn't care about pressing hard, and the atmosphere dropped to freezing point for a while. The outburst of contradictions between the raging sides seems to be on the verge of breaking out.

"Say, what the **** is going on!" Borill growled coldly.

But Theodor showed a calm look on his face at this time, shook his head and said: "It's a pity, although I am also heartbroken about the death of His Majesty the Tsar, I know nothing about all of this, just like you. If you don't believe me. , You can ask the nobles of your country who came with me. I have been outside the camp and never left. How could I kill the Emperor Karoyan?"

"You lied, I saw the man named Justinian enter the czar's tent with my own eyes. No one else enters except him. He must have assassinated His Majesty Caroyan. Greeks, don't you think about it. Sophistry!" As soon as Theodor finished speaking, the former servant accused with a sharp voice, stirring the nerves of everyone present, and everyone who had just calmed down a little became agitated again. . Obviously, with the words of the chambermaid, most people directly locked the assassin's suspicion on Theodor and Justinian. Just waiting for the two grand princes who are currently presiding over the overall situation to give them an order to prepare to avenge the dead czar.

And Theodor Dukas also knew that his next words and deeds will determine their life and death. If they are a little careless, I am afraid that the allies who had worked together to deal with the Latins may become immortal enemies.

At this moment, he was even more convinced that the assassin of Kaloyan was not only because of the blame, but also to stifle this great opportunity for the coalition to attack the city of Thessaloniki.

Prince Theodor took a deep breath and then looked at the servant who had accused him just now, and asked, "You keep saying that Justinian assassinated His Majesty Caroyan, so what about the evidence? You just say nothing. Why can I believe that what you say is true? Did you catch the assassin? Or even if something on Justinian’s body is left here, it is considered as conclusive evidence, otherwise it’s up to you This kind of pale and weak eyewitness testimony is probably not enough to prove the problem, because it may be fabricated. Do you think so, two grand princes?"

As soon as this statement came out, all the nobles were also taken aback, because what Theodor said did have some truth, and the imposing manner of the inner servant whom they were looking at at the moment was completely taken away by him, and it was a long while. Ai Ai said:

"This...I took the guards and rushed into the tooth tent for the first time, but...just..."

"Just what?" Looking at the stammering chambermaid, Ivan Asen couldn't help but ask impatiently.

"He disappeared." Seeing Grand Duke Ivan urged him sternly, while others were eager to know the truth~www.ltnovel.com~ The embarrassing interior servant had to answer truthfully. He did not use "missing" nor "escaping", but "disappeared", because the young man named Justinian really seemed to have evaporated. Originally, this was a seamless net. When Stinny Kuang came in, they were sure that the other party would not be able to escape, but when they surrounded them, they found that there was no movement for a while, and they rushed in, only to find that there was no one inside or outside the tooth tent. Without catching Justinian, then, as Theodor said, there is no conclusive evidence for Justinian's assassination. The servant who messed up this matter began to try his best to divert his attention, and now that the paper couldn't contain the fire, he understood what consequences he would suffer.

There was a horrified look across the maid’s eyes and he glanced at his side and quickly lowered his head. However, the sharp-eyed Prince Theodor still captured this detail and followed his sight to the object that should be the most suspicious. .

It was him!

...

On the other hand, even if he didn’t say anything, the maid still bit him and saw that the assassin who sneaked into the tent was Justinian. Many Bulgarian aristocrats really believed that this was the case because of his vowed appearance. Although the inmate said there is no evidence, Theodor Dukas also has no evidence to prove his innocence, and more importantly, Justinian has not appeared for a long time, and this has aggravated everyone's suspicion of him.

But just as the situation was at a stalemate at this time, a weak voice came from behind the crowd.

"Are you... looking for me?"

As the voice fell, almost everyone followed the reputation at the first moment. Although the voice was weak, they all recognized that the owner of the voice was the missing Justinian.
