Eagle Flag of Epirus

Vol 8 Chapter 33: dusk

In the setting sun, the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the surface of the sea, shining bright waves. On the seashore before nightfall, Thessaloniki enjoys the last rare silence. The citizens know that after today, the flames of war will come again. But people seemed to have accepted it. Several children on the street were laughing and playing after the chubby pig urine bubble, while the adults also ran to the square to entertain themselves or watch the burlesque performers laugh.

In the garden of the Shangcheng Palace, the small figures under the palm trees were happily shuttled here, while the attendants and maids behind them were cautiously following behind them, for fear of the noble majesty falling.

"Helena, slow down!" The mother moaned her daughter.

But the charming young girl excitedly waved to her mother who was looking at her from a distance, "Come on, mom, come!" It's been almost a month since the last time I took myself out to play, it was Helena who was beginning to make trouble. Where can I be quiet for a moment.

With a petting look in her eyes, Empress Odoxia shook her head, and continued to watch her daughter chase and play wantonly in the garden, but if she still had strength, she would never want to spend her childhood in her daughter’s beautiful childhood. Absent in.

"Is this really good?" The Genoese girl next to her was looking at the fleet leaving outside the port and said quietly.

At the last moment, the Empress Odoxia in front of her chose to refuse to surrender herself, not only expelling the negotiating mission of the Doria family, but also extinguishing the only hope that Thessaloniki could rely on now. This means that they must face the next powerful enemy from both directions on the sea and land alone.

On the other side, also looking at the sea in front of her, the emperor shook her head and replied: "I don't know if my choice is right, but I think there are always more things in this world that are more pros and cons than mere pros and cons. Important. Just like martyred sages, before they die, it is impossible to predict the churches that will rise from the ground in the future. My choice of today only stems from the justice that I desire in my heart."

"But in this case, there may be consequences. You should know-Justinian and I are just a cooperative relationship, using each other." The rescue of Odoxia was unexpectedly touched, but it was not. Antonia, who is so easy to believe in others, also has a trace of suspicion in her heart.

In the face of the Genoese girl’s doubts, Empress Odoxia also confided her feelings frankly, “Of course I know, but even illiterate civilians understand that the soldiers guarding the frontier courts for the gang must not be hungry, no matter if they are stubborn. The sharp people are for the military salary of dozens of copper plates, or they are absorbing profit. No matter what little Antonia you originally thought, the Romans on this land can survive with your share of credit. And because of this, The crown of righteousness is on top of my head, and I cannot sit and watch it fall."

"Hahahahaha, did you think so?" After hearing the reply from the woman in front of her, the Genoese girl subconsciously laughed out loud, bending down and panting, the girl's tears were coming out, but when her laughter subsided immediately A complicated expression was put on his face.

"It's no wonder that this guy, Ming Ming Justinian said that this country exudes this decay from beginning to end, but in the end he is willing to believe you and ask me to come here to help you." Antonia looked at the woman in front of him seriously, " I owe you a favor, Your Highness. Although I don't want to admit it, I do have the blood of the Doria family. The debt I owed this time must be repaid to you in the future."

"Thank you for your kindness, Antonia, I hope we can survive this catastrophe and let me see that the day you said is coming." Odoxia looked at the girl in front of her with a serious look, her own bitter state of mind somehow After more than half of it eased, a rare ease appeared on his face. BXwX.co

At this time, the sound of joyous footsteps interrupted the conversation between the two women, and a small person suddenly plunged into his mother's arms.

"mother!"

Holding her mother, Little Helena begged her to play with her, but the attendants behind her were too late—the energetic little majesty all over her body was really exhausted.

"His Royal Highness!" The attendants were sorry, and they wanted to stop, but the little princess in front of them was obviously tired of them following along.

Before he finished speaking, Odoxia waved his hand to make the attendants retreat, "Forget it, you guys have worked hard, let's go down and use some snacks!" These people have also been busy for a while, so it should be. Let them rest. So the emperor picked up her daughter and promised with a petting smile:

"Okay, Helena, be good. Mom will accompany you to put the paper kite, okay?"

Upon hearing her mother's promise, Little Helena immediately nodded her little head vigorously, and the two tied little braids swayed up and down happily. Her favorite thing is that her mother is by her side, and the paper kite made for herself by Uncle Justinian is also her favorite toy. The two happiest things overlap, and the joy of harvest is undoubtedly doubled. .

While watching the harmonious interaction between the mother and daughter, Antonia, who was still looking serious just now, subconsciously watched in a trance-the appearance of this scene reminded the girl of her childhood, surrounded by her clumsy mother. The frolic scene.

"big sister!"

Helena's tender voice pulled the Genoese girl from her memories back to reality, and saw the girl's fleshy little hands holding a wreath of flowers and holding it in front of Antonia.

"Give it to you." The expectant little girl looked at Antonia, waiting for her response. "This is what I just did. Thank you for staying with my mother. Helena hasn't seen her smiling like just now." Little Helena said quietly, lying in Antonia's ear. Sacrifice as 75zhongwen.com Sacrifice as

And this scene made Antonia's eyes hot. She hasn't felt such warmth for a long time. She squatted down and squeezed Helena's small face and said, "No thanks, Very beautiful corolla, our Helena is so clever." After that, she put the slightly simplistic corolla on her head.

"What are you whispering again? Little Antonia, you are pouting—" At this moment, the emperor who had found the paper kite came over, picked up her daughter, and suddenly saw Antonia's flower crown on her head. , Laughed unexpectedly.

The Genoese girl who was seen was also a little embarrassed, the flower crown on her head was not worn, nor was it taken off, but the next words of Empress Odoxia quickly resolved the girl's embarrassment.

"It seems that Helena likes little Antonia very much!"

Antonia nodded, she patted the little princess's head and said, "Well, I really like the gift the little princess gave me. I think I should say goodbye too, your highness, I wish you peace." Mi He Mi

"Wait a minute, Antonia!" Suddenly, Odoxia called to the Genoese girl who was about to leave.

"What's the matter, Your Highness?" Antonia was a little surprised by the empress' solemn expression.

"I hope that after this time, Antonia, would you like to be the godmother of this child?" asked softly, an unexpected request came out in the evening...
