Eagle Flag of Epirus

"Is this really what you want, Alexia?" Mother Zoe asked calmly, looking at the girl who was raised by herself, she knew what she was thinking in her heart. Fastest update

However, Alexia replied very calmly: "I voluntarily become Joseph Focas's wife. This is my own choice and has nothing to do with anyone else."

The girl interrupted the conversation between the two directly, and even though her voice was peaceful, Zoe could still hear the stubbornness in the child's bones. In Alexia's body, she also saw that kind of steady growth once again. Maybe this child who would have acted like a baby to herself has really grown up!

Nodded with relief, the woman nodded and smiled and said: "Well, since you have said so, I can't put more beaks. I believe you will make the right choice when you are so old. It's just that. It’s rare for you to come to see me this time. It shouldn’t be for this matter. The day when you want to come to me shouldn’t be far away!” Knowing what he has done, Zoe knows that Justinian, who has lost so many of his followers, cannot let him go , So she has been waiting for this day.

And as expected by Zoe, Alexia was silent and just stared at her quietly, which was tantamount to acknowledging that her guess was correct.

After a long time, the noble girl finally broke her silence after a struggle in her heart. She looked at the nanny who had been with her since she was a child and said, "I can save you out."

But as soon as she finished speaking, Grandma Zoe, who had already guessed it, shook her head and rejected her directly. "It's impossible, Alexia. You know the Lord Justinian better than I do. From that day on, I know there will always be this day. I can look at you again to make sure you can I am already satisfied with peace and security. Since it was my original choice, I must calmly accept the final result. I will not be able to get a perfect ending for you or me in the end if I forcibly restore it."

"But you didn't say that to me that day." Alexia almost broke down, and her voice became choked at this moment.

But the woman in front of him remained unmoved, "At this moment and then, the Lord Justinian can’t make the same mistake. This is the difference between him and Lord Leosgros. And this just proves it. There is nothing wrong with the people you are following. Today I have no place to stand. Since there are no other nostalgias, leaving this world decently is my best destination." The heart has been decided, Zoe has not given Ya Alexia ended the conversation if she had any leeway. Although she was only a vassal of the Sgross family, everything had vanished with the death of Duke Leo, but her determination remained the same.

Seeing Zoe turned around and looked at the other person’s back, Alexia finally understood that even if she worked hard, the woman in front of her would never change her mind. She wiped away the tears from her eyes, and the girl bowed. He bowed and said no more, with desperate eyes he almost escaped from the prison cell and escaped from this place.

It is rare to have such a quiet and relaxing afternoon, although the snow in the courtyard is still there, but bathed in the warm sunshine in this winter, you have roughly felt that the winter is coming to an end.

In the courtyard, the lively little girl was playing with the maids, sitting on the stone bench beside her, and her mother was smiling and watching her lovely daughter's every move, her face showing deep love all the time.

It's been a long time since such a good time! Seeing all this, Odothea couldn't help feeling in her heart. Only after losing the days of peace did she feel how precious. However, she also understood that this leisure was extremely extravagant and short-lived before the Latins were driven away.

In the past few days, the emperor has known about the general mobilization of Tripolis city and understood what it means. However, Odosia couldn't help worrying about that person in her heart at this moment. The princess who was in Constantinople knew much more about the horror of the Latins than the average person. What Justinian has experienced so far is still only a pediatrics compared to the Battle of Constantinople. Of course Odosia believed in Justinian's ability, but she had to feel uneasy. Thinking of this, the woman subconsciously was a little surprised and sat on the stone bench so that she didn't notice his arrival until he walked to her side and suddenly found that the laughter of the maids had stopped.

"Gui'an, Your Royal Highness!" It was Justinian who walked into the courtyard.

"Oh, you are here, I didn't even pay attention."

Odosia's mouth showed a slight reserved smile, but looking at Justinian's seemingly thin and withered description, she couldn't help feeling uneasy. It seems that in order to prepare for the war, this young man must be exhausted these days.

Immediately ask him if he has encountered any difficulties and if he needs to help himself, and then ask him not to bear all the burdens. Odosia wants to do this, but she knows that the big boy in front of her will always show that confident smile, so she can rest assured.

"I haven't seen you for a few days! It seems that these days are busy enough for you."

"Ahhhh...yes."

Justinian shrugged, and his gaze at Odosia suddenly flickered. It seems that the emperor in front of him has already heard the wind. In order to break the awkward silence, Justinian understands himself. You have to quickly find a lighter topic to divert your attention.

found it. He watched playing with the maids, and at a young age he could see the girl who would not be beautiful in the future.

"Helena! Look what this is."

Justinian yelled and waved the "gift" he was holding.

And Helena noticed him immediately, and when she saw what Justinian was holding, she ran over with a smile on her face~www.readwn.com~Uncle Justinian, hard work! "The well-behaved Helena greeted Justinian sweetly.

"Hello, Helena. I lost your kite last time, and I promised to make you two more as an apology. Do you like it?"

Justinian smiled and stroked the little girl's head, and handed two brand-new kites to the little girl.

"Wow! So beautiful……"

This kite is not the simple diamond-shaped kite as before. Justinian made two colorful paper kites based on the memory of the previous life and captured the girl's heart at once.

"Uncle Justinian, thank you, I will cherish these two." Helena said with a smile, and put her mind on the new gift Justinian gave him.

"Haha, as long as you like it." Seeing her immediately took the kite and let the maids play with her, and Justinian's heart was also sincerely happy. Children of this age should have been so carefree, but it is only because of the war that many of them cannot even have a stable childhood.

Looking at Justinian, Odosia repelled a little helplessly: "Obviously you are already so busy, why do you spend so much thought!"

"It's just a matter of raising your hand, and there's nothing wrong with it." Justinian waved his hand and smiled casually.

But at this moment, Odosia looked at him with a very serious tone and asked, "Then you should have other things to tell me today, right? You have to hide things from me about the north. When, Justinian?"
