"What's your attitude, Duke Leo?" Earl George looked at the man in front of him and asked. The atmosphere of a seemingly ordinary tea party suddenly became tense. Earl George's attitude often represents the sea.

The other side of Nicaea will.

Leos Grace's attitude towards the choice between Epirus and Nicaea has always been very vague, but his attitude is the key. As the Duke of Corinth, he has the highest title among the nobles of Moria.

exist.

Earl George also had to ask him to stand up and express his attitude. After all, this man had a grudge against the Ducas family, and his newly married wife was Emperor Muzphius's first wife Eudosiya. Even Leos Grace

The two sides of the head and rat should not fall towards Epirus.

Therefore, Earl George wanted to let the leader of the Moria nobles make a statement.

At the same time, other nobles also calmed down and pricked up their ears, wanting to hear his attitude.

In fact, the Morian nobles still have not reached an agreement on whether to choose Epirus or Nicaea. The most important thing for them is how to maximize their interests.

As the chief noble, Duke Leo's attitude also made everyone present very interested.

"My attitude? Are you asking about my attitude, Mr. George?" Leo said with some surprise, but everyone knew that this was just a pretense. Leos Grace's cunningness was even greater than that of the Moria nobles.

He is well-known in the circle, so there is no way he doesn't have his own plans by now.

"Sgres, there is no need to pretend, we will listen to you this time." A noble said that he had had enough. Staying here like bereaved dogs was not a long-term solution.

"We have had enough of this situation now. Please make a decision, Your Excellency the Duke." Several other nobles also nodded. They are really in a dilemma now. Justinian privately divided their properties.

The Laskaris family in Nicaea also wanted to take advantage of them, and now they can only place their hope on the Duke of Corinth.

Seeing that almost all the nobles present had the same attitude, Duke Leo nodded and said: "Well, since it is the decision you asked me to make, then I have no reason to refuse. I think we can invite

That lord Justinian is here to be our guest."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked——

"What?"

Both Earl George and other Moria nobles were surprised by Duke Leo's decision. He actually wanted to invite the guy named Justinian over. Even though they hadn't met yet, Justinian was in Tripolis

What he did has almost offended them all over.

I saw that Count George's face darkened, and he first asked: "Duke Leo, are you serious?" Doesn't inviting Justinian over mean that the man in front of him will fall to Epirus?

This is what Count George does not want to see. He has been lobbying here for more than a year on the order of Emperor Lascaris. If Justinian really goes to the appointment, his hard work will be in vain.

Other nobles were equally surprised. They did not expect that Duke Leo would actually be willing to cooperate with Epirus.

But Duke Leo raised a finger and shook his head in denial: "No, no, no, you misunderstood me." The man said three words "no" in a row, which made everyone present feel strange for a moment.

What exactly is the intention?

"I'm afraid contact with him can't mean anything, Mr. George?"

"Isn't it enough to prove that the boy named Justinian was sent by Mikhail? And as far as I know, he himself was the bodyguard who escorted Muzphius to escape the pursuit of the Latins."

George deliberately emphasized his tone when he mentioned Muzphius's name, which made the nobles' eyes fall on Duke Leo again.

However, Duke Leo still said calmly: "Exactly, this is the reason why I did this. Muzfius is really very unique in selecting people, and that

I’m afraid the man named Justinian may not be the same as Mikhail.”

"You mean - could it be..." As soon as Leo finished speaking, someone heard what he meant. There was something fishy about Mikhail becoming the co-emperor, so as Muzfi

Justinian, a close confidant of Us, may not be loyal to Epirus.

"But this is not easy. Even if he and Mikhail are not the same, it is impossible for him to betray Muzfius!" Earl George also understood what Duke Leo meant, but it was not the commander of an army who wanted to rebel.

an easy thing, and

The other nobles next to him also looked at each other in confusion at this time. Before, they were all sure that Justinian would take the initiative to come to compromise with them, but now Duke Leo offered to invite him, which undoubtedly made him lose face.

The nobles were very embarrassed.

But Sgross said indifferently: "Nothing is priceless, and the so-called loyalty is just an excuse for not paying enough. Don't you guys want to get your land back?"

There was a magic in Leo's words, which instantly aroused the interest of all the nobles present. They were attracted by these tempting words. If they could win over Justinian, then it would be easy for them to return to their hometown and regain their fiefdom.

, this is much better than joining the Epirus or Nicaea side alone. After all, nobles without strength are like duckweeds without roots, and they have no choice but to be tempted.

"This idea is too ridiculous. How could such a person be easily manipulated?" Earl George, who noticed the wavering of the nobles, shouted something bad. He was about to persuade them not to believe Leosgros' words easily, but it was already too late.

, a noble stood up first.

"I... think what Archduke Leo said is reasonable."

"I also think I can give it a try."

"That's right."

The nobles who were still in trouble all agreed, and looking at this scene, Earl George knew that it was meaningless to say anything else, but looking at the face of Leosgros with a false smile in front of him, he couldn't bear it.

He was furious and walked away immediately. He had a hunch that everyone here would pay the price for their greed...

And three days later, an invitation letter sent from Tainaron Point reached the hands of Justinian in Tripolis. As expected, the nobles of Moria really couldn't calm down.
