"It seems that they did not disappoint me!" After receiving the letter from the Insider's Flying Arrows bought in the city, Justinian sighed slightly. Not long ago, the Duke of Athens in the city did take any action as expected and directly placed Gotfrey under the house of the vassal state of Achaia, and took away the military power of all the knights and nobles under the Achaia State, controlling the entire Achaia army. At this time, the Achaia people were completely under surveillance and deprived of all their arms.

This is indeed a very smart choice. It can be said that the Duke of Athens directly killed the possible threats of the Achaean army in the bud at the first time. However, this is exactly the result Justinian needed, because compared with the Achaeans who had fought, the methods they were more familiar with. Now, with the help of the Principal of Athens, there is no such only obstacle in front of him, and everything is ready.

"I have done what you said, will you really fulfill your promise?" In front of Justinian, not Arslan or Neusky, whom he trusted the most, but Sir Baptist. It can be said that the success of Justinian's plan this time is inseparable from the man in front of him taking the nephew of Marquis William, and it was through this spreading rumors that caused the Latin people in Athens to rift. But Baptist in front of him was more concerned about Justinian's previous promise.

"Of course there is no problem. I was not going to break my promise." After looking at the other party deeply, Justinian nodded and agreed, and instead looked at the man in front of him even higher. Although he only had the title of jazz, Baptister took on the title of knight more than any person with high power Justinian had seen. Among the people who were entrusted by Marquis William, Viscount Sene was the only one who was truly determined to implement it to the end. And Justinian naturally showed the greatest kindness to such a person.

"As long as the vassal state of Achaia announced its merger into the empire after the matter was accomplished, I will guarantee that Charles Charles Prit will still have a hereditary fief in Andra Vida." Justinian said lightly. The seemingly harsh conditions were actually Justinian's last bottom line. He was not Mikhail VIII, who was later generations, and would never allow the emergence of a country in the country.

"If that is the case, of course it's best." After hearing Justinian gave his own conditions, Baptist had no objection to it. Instead, he nodded, because he did not have unrealistic fantasies about the fact that the vassal state of Achaia could still maintain independence, and such a result was undoubtedly the best for Charlie Charplet's child. In this way, his promise to Marquis William Charplet was barely fulfilled.

"What about after all this is over?" Suddenly, with a hint of other meaning, Justinian asked tentatively at the Latin man. Although expelling the Latin man was Justinian's first priority now, he was willing to go out with Gottfry, who had caused him trouble on the battlefield, and more importantly, Justinian was interested in the true knightly qualities of this man. Because of this, Justinian chose to extend an olive branch to him at this time.

"I seem to have nowhere to go, either stay with His Highness Charles or have to go east with Viscount Sena." Baptiste returned truthfully. Although he was named a knight, he did not have his own fiefdom. With the death of the lord, he now returned to the predicament of joining the Crusade. Apart from going to the east, it was obvious that there was no second choice.

"So instead of this, I am lacking a capable manpower now. Would you like to come here?" Justinian, who no longer concealed his proposal straight to the point. In fact, this was not shocking. Before the two sides really got into evil, it was a very common thing for the Latins to be loyal to the Roman Empire. For example, when the leaders of the First Crusade passed by Constantinople, they announced their allegiance to Emperor Alexei I at that time, and Emperor Manuel also used the Latins and even the Turks to check and balance the nobles in the court. But at the critical moment, this matter seemed subtle. After all, the two sides are in the same situation and the Byzantine attitude towards the Latins are rejected without discerning. Therefore, Baptist's face also showed a look of surprise on Justinian's sudden invitation.

"Are you telling the truth? Don't joke. If you do this, you will only be criticized." Baptist said, shook his head and said, but he had witnessed the intensification of hatred between the two sides over the past year. With Justinian's current identity, he could not be tolerated by his side as a Latin person.

"The real empire is to be inclusive and inclusive to continue to grow and become stronger. From the republic era to the imperial era, the eagle flag of Rome has never been able to rely on forever. And if I can't even do this, where can I talk about reviving the empire? Be loyal to me! I think your talents cannot be maximized for Latin people who focus on bloodline and identity, so why not choose to cooperate with me?" After saying that, Justinian also slowly walked forward two steps, stretched out his hand to Baptister and revealed the ring symbolizing identity and strength.

At this moment, Baptist, who seemed to be attracted, did not refuse again, but his eyes fell on it. There was no doubt that he was really moved by the conditions proposed by Justinian. As a concubine in the family, he was born to be unable to inherit any of his father's inheritance, so he had to choose to join the Crusades and go to the East to make a living. But deep down, Baptist was never willing to spend his life as a noble with territory. Therefore, wealth and territory were not important. Instead, the last sentence Justinian just said completely hit Baptist's heart, which was to show his true talents. And the young man in front of him was able to provide him with such a stage.

At this moment, Baptist finally made up his mind and no longer had any hesitation. He bent his knees in front of Justinian, kissed Justinian's ring, and swore allegiance to the young man in front of him.

Justinian also pulled out his sword and put it on Baptist's shoulder at this time, "According to your ritual, I should ask you now, whether you are willing to swear allegiance to me, and to be my loyal knight for the rest of your life, and to serve me with your courage, force and wisdom?"
