When the Empress Odosia slowly walked into the familiar and unfamiliar hall before her eyes, a trace of fear arose in the woman's heart inexplicably. The eyes of those sitting on the high platform at this time were like sharp clusters of arrows, as if they could easily penetrate Odosia's thin body.

At this time, a low voice sounded from the stage, "With the blessing of St. Galerius, you are welcome to come forward, Your Highness Odosia! This is the honor of our families in Thessaloniki. "I saw a nobleman headed by the middle stand up in the darkness, and when he opened his mouth, everyone's attention in the entire hall also gathered on this man. Obviously, this man is a prominent presence in this city, if it weren't the case, it would be impossible to have such a momentum.

And he is the owner of this seemingly inconspicuous mansion, which is one of the meeting halls dedicated to noble meetings. Being able to take charge of this place is obviously a big deal among the big families in Thessaloniki. Even though Odosia lived deeply in Constantinople and later only went to Moriah, she also knew the intention of the other party.

I am afraid that my own title and status of the queen are of no use, and they can eliminate the dissatisfaction that they have accumulated for a long time. But before Odosia's arrival, someone had told her what to do next, so the weak woman still didn't panic under so many indifferent gazes.

"With the blessing of St. Helena, I wish everyone of Thessaloniki well."

The nobles of Thessaloniki allowed the emperor to stand alone, as if they were conducting a trial, but Odosia's tone was still neither humble nor overbearing, neither displeased nor fearful.

Worthy of being the nobleman under the purple-clothed greenhouse, the man on the stage nodded secretly, and then gestured with his eyes to let the people bring a chair for the emperor in front of him to sit down.

"His Royal Highness, you must have guessed what we asked you to discuss this time." The man looked down and said unhurriedly. Without the slightest psychological pressure, he chose Odosia, who is the emperor. Direct showdown.

Of course, Odosia couldn’t be more clear about this. Today’s topic is the issue of refugees in Thessaloniki. More and more Slav villages outside the city were engulfed by the war, and she insisted on taking them in the city. A large number of refugees. But such a move greatly offended the nobles of Thessaloniki. A small group of beggars could bear it, but hundreds of Slavic barbarians crowded into the proud street of Thessaloniki. The above, making their big market filthy, has completely exceeded the limit they can tolerate.

Therefore, the nobles united together to inquire about crimes. Of course, their goal at the beginning was not Odosia, but Baptiste on the White Tower. The nobles who had been fed up with the Latin directly incited the whole city of Thessaloniki to force it to step down, but they were finally prevented by the sudden appearance of the empress. Only then came this inquiry. Although there are nobles who are worried, after all, they are the purple-clothed nobles in front of them, but more people are watching the jokes in secret, looking at the noble species that was elevated in Constantinople in the past. The appearance of bowing to them.

However, the man standing at the highest point didn't seem to think so, quietly waiting for the answer from the emperor below.

"Of course, Your Excellency Ioannis, the purpose of my trip is to hope that you can temporarily stop the impeachment of Secretary Baptiste. After all, he is a municipal official appointed by the two lords Justinian and Theodore. If there is any disagreement, I also hope to resolve it in a more peaceful way." Looking up at the black crowd, the emperor said calmly, but her mediation obviously did not get the response she deserved.

"A Latina, why should we listen to him? Even if it is appointed by Lord Justinian and Prince Theodor, if we don't get our approval, we are not qualified to continue to make trouble in Thessaloniki. "Boos came from the displeased crowd. These nobles who had been dissatisfied with the New Deal for a long time did not hesitate to attack the weak woman below.

It wasn't until Earl Ioannnis, who was sitting under the mural, waved his hand, that silence returned to the hall.

"It seems a little too dark in this hall." Count Ioannnis looked at the silver candlestick above his head, and the servants on the left and right immediately moved up the ladder, and saw the candlelight rising straight, illuminating the various colors on the stands. Faces of all kinds of expressions-some are hideous, some are treacherous, some are mean, some are evil birds. It wasn't until the candlelight fell on their faces to let each other see clearly, that the nobles condensed their emotions and became expressionless again.

"I haven't seen you in three years, Your Royal Highness, I don't think you will remember it." The earl in the center said lightly, "But I still remember you, after all, I still remember the grand ceremony that sent you to Serbia for marriage. I haven't seen it for many years," You have gone through many twists and turns, but your style remains the same."

Ioannice's remarks didn't mean the slightest reproach, but the gentle reminiscence of the man in front of him made Odosia at a loss.

The man in front of him was the leader of the nobles who prevented the resistance of the Latins in Macedonia. After Thessaloniki was recovered, Earl Ioannís was one of the few nobles who took the initiative to accept Justinian's caress. It can be said that the stability of Thessaloniki's situation is closely related to the existence of this man. Therefore, he just let it go and became the representative of the nobles in Thessaloniki. Looking at the forty-year-old man above, looking down at her eyes, Odosia felt a slight backlash.

But the emperor quickly took the courage from her heart and looked at the other party, "I believe that you, as the leader of the nobles, should have a longer-term perspective. I don’t think there is any objection to the matter of Your Excellency Baptiste taking in these refugees. "Odosia raised her head hard. For the first time, she felt that the long skirt on her body was buttoned very tightly, which made it very difficult for her to raise her head.

"Oh? A very different idea, Your Highness, as the courtiers of the empire, of course we listen to your request, but as Macedonian vassals, we must also be responsible for this land. Just what I said just now is not enough. To convince everyone. Because most of us here are not in favor of letting in so many suspicious refugees in this troubled autumn." The man said calmly, and tactfully rejected Odosia in front of him.

But Odosia did not give up, and said:

"If you think so, I think everyone here is a bit wrong. In my opinion, the opposite is true. Thessaloniki is now in need of these refugees."

The voice of the emperor was absolutely decisive, and it was hard to imagine that such a delicate woman would sometimes say such powerful words.

The nobles on the stage couldn't help looking at the emperor with interest, and Ioannis was also noncommittal, looking at Odosia to continue speaking.

"The refugees need Thessaloniki as their safe haven, and the current Thessaloniki needs these refugees as her guarding force. All forces are watching here, always wanting to grab this Macedonia from our hands. At this time, we only need a piece of bread and a blanket to give us one more soldier to guard the city. I hope everyone here can think about it carefully. I don’t think anyone wants the Latin’s iron hoof to fall on the second time. On top of our heads." Antonia told her to memorize the words in one breath. The emperor who stabilized her erratic eyes felt so nervous for the first time, but at the same time there was a sense of novelty. Between just now, Odoshi Ya seemed to feel like the eloquent eloquents in Aristotle College.

Having stated her point of view, the emperor looked at the nobles on the stage, and the expressions on their faces were different. Until a nobleman said coldly, "A piece of bread and a blanket, it is light. Your lord, do you know how many rations will be consumed by hundreds of thousands of people in a day, and the city of Thessaloniki The hoarding of the granary can support geometry? Not to mention, feeding the mountain people, they can really become a force we can use? Your Highness, too much kindness is another cruelty, let alone these refugees are mixed, who knows Will they be the spies of the enemy? It’s time to expel them. I can guarantee that we will feed the distributed rations to our soldiers, a villain who can beat ten Slavs!"

As soon as this remark came out, the stage immediately received a response from the following. The centuries of separation of the city and the wild has already caused a great split in the empire's society. The Slavic mountain people are nominally the people of the empire, but the people in the city have always regarded them as aliens. Especially in the current atmosphere of increasingly repelling foreign races, the nobles could not tolerate the influx of Slavic refugees even more.

Looking at these cold nobles, Odosia's eyes were full of weirdness, "But you know, driving them out in this way is equivalent to killing them. How can you say such a thing?"

"That's better than staying here, at least it won't be us who killed them." The answer was still cold-blooded, even though Odosia pleaded like that, but these nobles did not move at all.

And only Ioannnis was still looking at the desperate emperor below, and said: "His Royal Highness, people like us are born to learn to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. When necessary, being cold is to be kind to everyone. These are. The problems of the refugees are better handled by us. Sooner or later, those refugees will be a big problem, and then they will fight against everything for survival, even you, so we will eliminate these for the survival of most of us. Dangerous elements are the clearest decision."

Seeing these people's grandiose attitude towards life, Odosia felt a tremendous sense of powerlessness, and she finally understood why she retreated when she first came in. Because these aloof people are so similar to those in the court of Constantinople, they are just as indifferent and ruthless as they used to be and those around them. And what that would bring, two years ago, Odosia of Constantinople had personally experienced it.

But when she was about to argue with reason, a rough voice interrupted her, "Your Excellency, Earl Ioannnis, I think our purpose of coming here today does not seem to be to clarify the refugee problem. It is not us. Should be concerned. After all, so many chaos is the nasty Latin in the final analysis, isn’t it? This nasty jester even deceived Her Royal Highness when Lord Justinian was away. I think it’s time for us to expel him Land." A certain nobleman intervened in the dialogue between Ioannis and Odosia, and the nobles on the stage remembered that their main purpose was to direct the hateful Latin. These are eye-catching. On the contrary, the refugees are secondary. As long as that guy is solved, all problems will be solved naturally.

"His Royal Highness, the Latin man just wants to use you as a shield, otherwise why doesn't he come here in person today."

"This is the end of the matter, there is nothing to say~www.ltnovel.com~ We have given Master Justinian's face and obeyed his schedule, but look at what he has done during this time! Congde From Modica to Philboberis, the Latin cavalry ravaged our farmland, and he offended our ally, Prince Theodor. We must not allow a ghostly man to continue to control the city! He even offended our ally, Prince Theodor. Now I’m so guilty that I don’t even have the courage to come and see us."

The nobles' bitter words chattered endlessly. Obviously, they didn't want to discuss from the beginning. They just wanted the emperor in front of them to submit, and under pressure, they were in line with their position. Looking at this scene, Odosia felt dizzy, and she realized that she was so fragile in her heart, as if she was about to be swallowed up by these tide-like maliciousness in front of her.

But at this moment, the door behind him was suddenly pushed open, and a beam of light shot in, followed by a long figure extending into the hall. In full view, a Latin man walked in and looked at the stage with unabashed contempt and sneered: "It seems that I am here at the right time. At least I can know the true thoughts of everyone here, but the one just now His words really make me want to laugh—it makes me feel guilty because you probably don’t have the qualifications yet"
