Eagle Flag of Epirus

"The Eagle Flag of Epirus (

In the early morning of Agrinion, the morning light shone on the face of Irina, who was still asleep, and the girl who was already a woman woke up.

The air in the morning dawn was exceptionally fresh. When she got up from the warm quilt, Irina realized that her body was not well-dressed, especially the chilly chest. The pair of green white peaches seemed to have become mature and soft overnight. Nuo, at this time they were protesting the morning chill to her. The girl subconsciously covered her chest and blushed. She saw that the silk bedclothes she had worn next to her body had been thrown away in the Dianluanpofeng last night. Recalling the madness of last night, the girl couldn't help covering her hot face, even if she could only recall the vague details, Irina couldn't help feeling a little weak.

All of this suddenly seemed like a dream. If I didn't feel it personally, Irina couldn't be sure that she was no longer a childish virgin but became someone else's wife.

Obviously, Irina Dukas has not yet fully adapted to such a change of identity. She found a blanket to put on her body, looked around, but saw that there was no one else in the room except her. Where did he go? Irina, who hadn't seen Justinian, felt a little disappointed. She stretched her hand over the bed on the side, and the temperature on it had already gone. A trace of loneliness flashed across the girl's face, even though she knew that they were a political marriage that they needed for each other, but deep in her heart she also longed for the gentleness of the couple she had dreamed of before.

At this moment, the bedroom door was suddenly knocked by someone outside.

"Madam. Are you awake?" The maid's voice came from outside the door, "I'm here?"

"Wait a minute!" Irina didn't want to let outsiders see how she looks right now. She hurriedly went to the closet in the room and looked for it. Fortunately, there are still a few old dresses inside. , She just let the servant in.

"Well, you come in!" Irina said through the door.

As soon as the voice fell, I saw a row of servants pushing the dining trolley walk in methodically, and then a long-lost scent of food came out, what a familiar taste to Irina.

"This is..." Seeing the scene before her, the girl was a little surprised.

I saw that the servants brought up all Irina’s favorite pastries, everything from honey pudding to chestnuts and cheese, but she clearly remembered that these servants were serving temporary orders, how could they know that they were Taste.

The servant’s words explained Irina’s confusion, "His Royal Highness Justinian told us before leaving, let us pay attention to the previous recipes in the previous kitchen. Your Royal Highness said that there is no way to accompany you if you have something to do temporarily. Madam eats, so I ordered me to wait and prepare your favorite snacks for Madam."

Several servants carefully served the delicate snacks. Although they could not be authentic, Irina could also see that the people who prepared them were very dedicated. I picked up a piece of pastry and put it in my mouth and took the first bite. It was full of fragrant teeth, filled with the sweet and sour taste of citrus fruits, and still tasted the same as before. Irina gobbled the honey cake as if I hadn't eaten for a long time. Entering into the stomach, tears flowed out immediately afterwards.

This scene frightened the servants who were waiting on the sidelines, and they knelt down quickly, fearing that something was wrong with them.

"It's okay, I didn't mean to blame you. It's just that I can't control my emotions. Thank you for allowing me to eat such delicious food again." I sincerely expressed my gratitude to them, Irina Speaking softly, although these snacks reminded her of her lost parents and the carefree life in the past, they more than healed the unspeakable trauma in her heart. And the servants in front of me, although they were born in rural farmers, compared to the staid servants in the old mansion, Irina could feel the kindness that she did not have in the past. She knew that this was undoubtedly Justinian for herself. Arranged specially, I feel sweet and warm at this moment in my heart.

After running out of snacks, Irina asked the maid who was picking up the tableware: "Do you know the Justinian Hall...what did my husband do?" She had to leave this morning even though she was so diligent, she guessed Something must have happened.

However, how did these servants know about the military affairs, even if they heard it, they couldn't understand it, only one or two servants told Irina Dukas who asked them what they didn't intend to hear.

Soon, a vague outline of the answer appeared in front of her.

...The cavalry who appeared outside the city at dawn...

...The Thesari accent...

...The nobles who rushed to see...

Irina alone has guessed what happened. Although the rebels in Agrignon have been suppressed, and she and Justinian are married, but they want to control the princes on the hills, Obviously it is not that easy.

...

...

...

At the same time, in the noble hall, as Irina had guessed, fierce quarrels between the nobles rang through the eaves. The attitude of not giving in to each other suddenly made the atmosphere become tense.

"What kind of style is it? Are you going to watch the mud legs step on your head?" The jealous voice sneered, stimulating the nerves of every nobleman.

"Pay attention to your words, the members of the Merinoson family weren't so rude before." In the middle of the hall, Secretary General Hendry warned the opponent coldly.

This morning, he rushed to Agrinon with his army. Upon reaching the destination, the noble envoy from Thessaly showed a look of inquisition. He was commissioned by the Count of Merinosen to come here. Although Merinoson himself did not arrive, the letter he wrote to the nobles such as Hendry had already indicated his intentions.

The ugly-faced Bunonius, Taranit, and Hendriel tried their best to appease the messenger who came, and at the same time, to avoid tearing their faces with Merinoson. When he set out to fight the rebellion, Count Merinoson was left behind in Thessaly because the local Venetians might attack the coastal areas, but when he learned that the rebels had been suppressed, he was not happy. Instead, he appointed an envoy to represent him. He came, apparently because the unruly earl was knowing that Prince Theodor’s daughter Irina had inherited the throne and had married Justinian of Moriah.

Hendlier explained: "This is the choice of His Highness Irina. As vassals, we should send blessings, not unreasonable doubts. Earl Merinoson is too sensitive, if it weren't for Justinian. Your Highness, the crisis between Agrinion and Thessaly will not subside so quickly. The marriage itself has been approved by most people."

If Hendry was still worried about Irina's marriage before, now he no longer has any concerns. He believes Justinian is worthy of this highness, and he also believes in the character of the other party. On the other hand, the attitude of Earl Merinoson, who is over forty years old, is obviously more explicit. As early as Larissa, this person showed ambition. His so-called opposition was nothing more than stupid unwillingness. But now that it's done, and the opponent is still aggressive, Hendry understands that the opponent is only to test their attitude.

Obviously, this answer could not be accepted by Merinoson's messenger, who was also a not-low-status existence in the Merinoson family. He shouted angrily:

"King Hendry, Prince Theodore is so kind to us, are you worthy of him now? The Dukas family is a distinguished master, how can you succumb to a gang of Wupifu!"

"Wang Ye started as a soldier. It is not uncommon for Wang Ye to be born in a rank of soldiers. Even the ancestors of Earl Merinoson, he was a big soldier in his early years. I am curious as to what qualifications he has to tell me." The door of the noble hall was slammed. Pushing away, the one who walked into everyone's sight was not someone else, it was Justinian.

The little fox who ridiculed each other came calmly, and he heard everything that the messenger sent by Merinoson had just said. To be honest, Justinian was surprised that the reason for the grumpy sloppy earl to oppose him was the so-called status. Sure enough, the country continued to be managed by these people, and there was indeed no hope at all.

"You--!" The surprised Merinoson envoy subconsciously took two steps back. Even though he prepared a long eloquence in his heart from the beginning, he was frightened by the invisible coercion of Justinian at the moment. Some were speechless.

Stuttering, unable to squeeze a word for a long time, the trembling messenger of the Merinoson family just wanted to speak, a loud slap rang in the hall of nobility, and the person raising his hand followed Justinian. Aristocratic confidant Focas.

"Presumptuous, since His Royal Highness Justinian is married to His Royal Highness Irina, he is the ruler of Thessaly and Agrinon. Since Merinosen is a vassal of the Prince, how dare you be in Justin? It's rude in front of the temple." Focas has long looked at the other party unpleasantly. He is from a lowly family, he hates these high-ranking cheeks the most, and he didn't leave any affection on his hands. He hit the opponent with gold stars.

"You—?" Another word of "you" was uttered. This time, Merinoson's envoy was full of consternation and astonishment. However, another slap made him completely dizzy, and his faces on both sides were also slapped into pigs' heads. .

The other nobles on the side also couldn't stand it anymore, and stepped forward to persuade them. Although they also thought that the Merinoson family's attitude was a bit extreme, the humiliation of Justinian was not good after all. You must know that the entire Thessaly is still in the hands of the other party. The real intention of coming here is just to bargain to seek self-government. In order to win over each other, Justinian can completely back down, and the contradiction between the two sides can be exposed without pain.

Unexpectedly, Justinian actually chose to do this, completely torn apart the Merinoson family.

Seeing that the nobles were discouraging, Salius led the heavy cavalry into the hall and stood in front of Justinian. There were also private soldiers of the Merinoson family who were **** by the five flowers. .

"His Royal Highness, these people are already sneaky in the city, wanting to explore the reality of the city, and they have all been arrested by us now to wait for it to happen."

Salius said that Justinian did not show up just now, just instructing him to search for the private soldiers of the nobles who came to the Merinoson family this morning.

Justinian nodded, then looked at the bewildered messenger, and said: "I have given your entire family several opportunities before, but your earl doesn't seem to know any appreciation, and it seems that I too There is no need to waste patience on you."

"You...you are slander!" The Merinoson messenger with a trembling voice screamed and pointed at him, as if he had seen something terrifying, where there was the slightest arrogance before.

In this regard, Justinian was too lazy to pay attention to this. He ordered: "Put these people out immediately to the gallows on the execution ground, and hang them in front of the whole city."

"No, Lord Justinian, if this is the case, the Merinoson family will definitely rebel!" Hendryer and other nobles hurriedly stepped forward to discourage Merino The members of the Mori family were killed~www.ltnovel.com~ Then there is really no room for negotiation. No one was willing to fight another civil war, the nobles stepped forward to intercede, and at the same time let the frightened Merinosen envoy quickly subdue.

"Really?" Justinian sneered instead, and said instead: "I would like to see this. If that guy is really willing to fight me for the lives of dozens of stupid people, I would be very happy to let Merino Sen was removed from the empire."

As soon as this remark came out, the nobles present couldn't help being afraid. This was not a joke, nor was it a ruthless remark, because this was what Justinian said, and it can definitely be done. More nobles can't help but feel sad, stepping forward to intercede, and at the same time let the Merinoson family quickly beg for mercy.

...

In a corner of the side, watching the farce in front of him calmly, the two elders, Count Talanit and Count Bunonius, did not make any statement from beginning to end.

"It's also thanks to that guy Hendry's being so dedicated."

"After all, he is the secretary-general of the old prince. Even if he changes his allegiance to another person, he will do everything he can."

"It seems that our Royal Highness really has a big appetite, and he has enough of his own wrist. Merinoson, that idiot, I have persuaded him so many times, but the result is still stubborn."

"That was his own choice. The Merinoson family is still as slow as it has been for hundreds of years. They have not discovered that the times have changed, and our empire is about to usher in a lion-like ruler. , Will never allow anyone to challenge authority again."

The two weathered old people sighed with each other. They knew that serving such a master would undoubtedly be trembling as if walking on thin ice, but the dying country needs a strong medicine at this moment, so they are willing to try it.
