Eagle Flag of Epirus

"I don't understand. I don't think you know that you have crossed the restricted area. Don't forget that they are all Latins and enemies of the empire, Justinian." Romanus sneered, and his men sneered. He also pulled out the sword in the scabbard abruptly and stepped forward. The momentum was fierce, causing everyone to instantly change their color.

　　 But in the face of the opponent's aggressiveness, Justinian still did not panic, and he was also very unhappy. It was this kind of pride and complacency that made the Romans finally isolated and helpless. The Venetians are certainly enemies, but it does not mean that the Romans have to refuse all the help of the Latins, but should be more pragmatic.

　　 "It seems that the Empire did not prohibit business with all Latins."

"Hmph, so what? Everything you do here has not been approved at all. It is simply a collaborating with the enemy, if I want to take you down!" Romanus's sordid expression made everyone extremely angry, but But no one dared to challenge the authority of this man.

　　 But at this moment Justinian shook his head suddenly and turned straight around.

　　 "boring!"

　　 "What did you say?" Unexpectedly, Justinian would not put his words in his eyes so, Romanus was also furious.

"I said it was boring. It would be ridiculous if your Excellency came here just for this kind of thing. And just because you are not qualified to say this sentence." Justinian did not feel very afraid of the young man in front of him. Romanus is of noble origin, but he has no power to move him after all.

　　 In name, Ilovan Fort is still under Mikhail's jurisdiction, and Agrinon is only a mandate. It is not so easy for Theodore to move himself, let alone Romanus? It is only on the premise that Justinian has enough armed forces to support it.

　　 "Well, I want to see what qualifications you have to dare to be arrogant in front of me!"

　　Romanus has also been irritated by Justinian's performance. He just went out hunting today and accidentally passed through the Ilofan Fort before trying to beat him, but this kid named Justinian dared to be so innocent. I saw the guards beside Romanus immediately drew the long swords from his waist.

　　 But then something unexpected happened to him!

　　 The heavily armed guards of Ilovan Castle set up their shields and spears to protect Justinian. The two sides were at war, but it was clear that there were more people in Ilovan Castle.

　　 "You-are you going to mutiny?!" Romanus, who was shocked and angry, was also stunned for a while. He didn't expect that there were so many unruly people in this remote place. What made him even more unexpected was that the armor and equipment of the soldiers in front of him was no less than the elite field army.

　　 This made his eyes look at Justinian even more jealous.

　　 And Justinian was also still calm, "I'm serious, it's just a legitimate defense, Lord Romanus."

　　 At this moment, another group of people entered the Ilovan Castle, headed by Theodore’s secretary Hendryer, he was shocked when he watched the tense atmosphere in the castle.

　　 "What are you doing?"

　　 "Chen Hendry, why did you come here?" Romanus was taken aback. As a secretary, Hendry seldom leaves around his father.

"The Earl ordered me to come here. I am the Secretary of the Earl. May I ask which one is Your Excellency Justinian." Hendryer's attitude is the opposite of Romanus, perhaps because of the civil servants, very gentle. , So that everyone in Ilovan Castle looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.

"I'm Justinian, may I ask what's the matter, clerk." Abdera mentioned this person, and Justinian immediately remembered that this man was Hendryl, the clerk who assisted Theodore in his official duties. Although his position is not high, his power is not small, and I don't know what his intentions are when he comes this time. A Romanus is already tricky.

"Theodor invites you to attend the banquet to be held in Agrinon next week, and I am specially asked to invite." Hendry got off the horse. It can be said that he has seen this rumored one for the first time in months young people. After all, Justinian saved a large number of Roman citizens from the Croatian pirate stronghold, so he is famous far and near. What you see at this time is indeed not mediocre. Otherwise, how dare to challenge Romanus in this way? After a rough glance, Hendry had almost guessed it.

　　 "What are you talking about, Sir Hendry, my father invited him?" Romanus could not sit still when he heard the news. He didn't hear any wind at all.

　　 But at this moment, Hendry spoke to stop him.

　　 "This is the meaning of Lord Earl, Romanus. Please restrain your subordinates." The man deliberately increased his tone, as if to remind Romanus.

　　 And when Romanus realized this, he also understood that it was his father's will and he was not qualified to change, even though he was not reconciled, Romanus raised his hand to signal that his subordinates put away their weapons.

"Banquet?" Justinian looked at each other unexpectedly. It is normal for aristocrats to feast, but it is incredible that he is invited in his current identity. He is not even a nobleman, which makes him feel more in his heart. Confused.

"Yes, Earl Theodor has important things, so please be sure not to be absent." At this point, Hendry deliberately increased his tone, and Justinian naturally understood what the other party meant. .

　　 "I understand, I won't let the earl down." Justinian accepted the other party's invitation. At this time, he could only choose to agree.

　　 And Romanus coldly glanced at Justinian and rode on the horse, "Let's go!" As he said, he took his people straight away, arousing the choking dust. Everyone wanted these guys to leave, so no one dared to stop them.

　　 While watching Romanus's leaving figure, Hendry nodded towards Justinian~www.ltnovel.com~ We have other things, so we won't stay. Hope to see you at the next banquet. "

　　 "Then I will not send you far." Justinian also nodded towards the other party, at least from the current point of view, the man did not show any particular malice in front of him.

　　 "That's good." While talking about Hendry, he turned his horse's head and prepared to leave, but just then, Justinian called him again.

　　 "Qing Hendry, what do you think the earl has about my Genoese friends?"

And this made Hendryer, who was about to leave, also stunned slightly. He pulled on the reins. He seemed to hesitate between his expressions. After a while, he slowly replied, "That's your own freedom. I think your Excellency too. I don’t want to bother, if there is any offense before, I apologize to everyone."

And Justinian was waiting for this sentence from the other party. Many Genoese merchants had seen what Romanus had done just now. Without the assurance of the secretary, the days under Iloban Castle would probably be Very sad, and the Genoese who were in shock after receiving such a guarantee were somewhat relieved.

"Thank you, then! Come! Escort Henderlier out of the city." Justinian, who had achieved his purpose, ceremoniously ordered Hendryer and his party to be sent out of the city. Until then, everything in the castle Talents can be completely relieved.

　　……

　　 "Huh~ It's so dangerous~" The shocked Phillips patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief, but at this time he realized that Justinian was actually looking at him with a smile at some point.

　　...Unlucky!

　　 A wave pattern appeared on the face of this cross-faced businessman, and he couldn't help but nervously remember that he had ruined a lot of his money at the port. Maybe the other party held a grudge against him.

　　 Phillips wants to cry without tears...
