Eagle Flag of Epirus

Vol 8 Chapter 15: Uneasy start

Do you have any opinion on the possibility of my decision, Sir Baptiste? "Antonia Doria asked sarcastically, looking at the other party.

Sir Baptiste waved his hand, "I can't talk about any opinions, I just have some doubts. Have you really discussed the consequences of this with Master Justinian?"

"What to discuss?"

"Of course it's the matter of you using Empress Odosia as a decoy. I think you should be clear about this, what it means to expose her presence at this time!" Baptiste's silent gaze penetrated towards that person. The emperor who went there was a little bit of compassion, "The brighter the light, the easier it is to be swallowed by the darkness. No matter it is Agrinion or Rusnina, they will not tolerate her as a threat to Thessaloniki. Yes. If you can’t grasp it with your own hands, they will do whatever it takes to make it disappear. You are so fanatical in the name of Queen Odosia that you are repairing the church and helping the victims. I don’t think you are doing charity!"

Seeing the other party's words revealing her true purpose in front of her, the Genoese girl showed a smile of admiration on her face, nodded and replied: "It seems that Justinian is willing to entrust this to you is not unreasonable. You’re right, but it’s not entirely true. I just hope to use this method to focus all the attention of some nasty guys here. Although it is a bit risky, it is effective enough."

"Attract their attention?"

"Yes, what I hope is to make the guys hiding in the dark commotion and restless. A queen who has the inheritance rights of the previous emperor, anyone interested in the purple clothes of Constantinople will not be indifferent. Only they are in front of them. When things are attracted, Justinian has a chance to return to Macedonia smoothly."

Antonia said without concealment, and this is her real purpose. The journey to Moria is far away, and apart from the intertwined territory of the old nobles of Macedonia, there are also the Epirus parties. With Justinian’s sphere of influence, with Justinian’s current strength, there will definitely be accidents when traveling long distances with the army. But what Antonia has to do is very simple, and that is to concentrate everyone's attention back to Thessaloniki.

This is undoubtedly a very crazy move. If there is anything wrong, Thessaloniki will probably face an extinction. Baptiste gasped in shock by the crazy opportunity of the girl before him.

"But I am afraid that Master Justinian is not willing to see, in case there is anything wrong..."

"Every chess game that is about power has never been 100% sure. No regrets when you place a piece. A chess player should never entangle the gains and losses of the chess pieces, but the changes in the chess game. I don't think I know the little fox of Moriah. There is such a weakness." Antonia tilted her head, with a strand of long golden hair hanging over her shoulder. At this time, the noon sun penetrated into the car, and her creamy skin showed a transparent texture.

But with such a beautiful face, Sir Baptiste felt a breath of majesty like winter. Maybe the monsters will chase each other too! The man couldn't help thinking. After a long silence, he said:

"Then what do you plan to do next? There should be more important things to call me back specifically."

"Of course." Antonia, who was sitting on the side, obviously relaxed a lot, tapping the carriage with her boots, watching the crowd that suddenly gathered and dispersed and the emperor who was drifting away, with a smile on her face. .

"I really want to ask you one thing."

"It doesn't seem to be easy." Baptiste was mentally prepared and shrugged. "Come on, there is something I can do for you, miss."

Looking at the look on the face of this little girl who can be his own daughter, the man already knew that the next thing to do is not easy. Whether it is Justinian or the Genoese girl in front of them, whenever they have such a smile on their faces, it means that someone is out of luck.

...

Thousands of miles away, Agrinion, a city that has existed since the Hellenistic era, is now a major town in the western part of the Roman Empire. It played an important role in resisting the Saracens and Roman pirates. Because of this reason, Theodor Dukas, who was an earl, was able to easily fight against his illegitimate brother.

At this time it was half a year before the civil war in Epirus broke out, and the two sides never found a victory or defeat on the battlefield of Macedonia. From beginning to end, Prince Theodor felt the weirdness of this civil war. As the instigator of the civil war, Mikhail Dukas never made much of his actions. This couldn't help making Theodor feel a little impatient. He really didn't understand what his brother was planning. He wanted to rely on the fortified castle of Agriñon to wait for work, but now this plan seems to be completely in vain. In the face of Rusnina's repeated attacks on his own territory in Macedonia, in Theodore's territory, many nobles advocated proactively attacking the opponent's lair, but they were ultimately rejected by Theodore. He had always felt that something was wrong, and he had been hesitating, but the situation had never been better, which made him even more uncomfortable.

"His Royal Highness, report from the front line." The door was slammed open, and the hurried waiter presented the official documents and information. And this rudeness undoubtedly angered Theodor Dukas.

"Will you knock on the door before you come in? Hendry hasn't taught it..." The prince who was about to get angry had already spoken halfway, but subconsciously shouted out the name, but made him stop cursing.

Hendlier, who was originally his secretary, was not by his side. It had been a few months, but Theodor was not used to it yet. As he had seen through the relationship between Hendryl and Doria's family before, Theodore, in a rage, dismissed Hendryl from the position of secretary ~www.ltnovel.com~ and he heard about it a month ago. Justinian put down Athens and unified the Southern Military Region, and he sent Hendryer as an envoy to persuade Justinian to resign. But after this time, Hendryl had no news, which could not help but irritate Prince Tissaodor. In his opinion, this was simply a defect. And all this probably has something to do with Justinian, the man becomes even more annoyed when he thinks of this. His biggest mistake was to let go of the little fox of Moria, but his brother made the same mistake. Who would have thought that the blind emperor who was locked up in the monastery would have kept such a hand.

Thinking that Theodore here was once again called back by the attendant beside him, he realized that there was a thick pile of intelligence in front of him. This was all the useful news that his men had collected, and since Hendry You are gone, and even handling these things makes Theodor feel very inconvenient.

And just as the man angrily repelled the unruly young attendant, the corner of Theodor's eye swept over the text of an emergency report, and suddenly stopped speaking, and the pupils of those eyes suddenly enlarged.

In an unbelievable tone, Theodor Dukas intermittently gathered the news he could sort out into his mouth, muttering: "K...Corfu, unexpectedly... is lost!?"
