Chapter 18 Clues
The next morning, after the Goddess Cereus Festival, Justinian, who had experienced the night of revelry last night, got up with soreness, remembering that he had drunk a lot of wine. He woke up at this time and was already lying on the bed in his mansion.
"Hiss--the head hurts so much!" As soon as he got up, Justinian, who felt his brain hurt, couldn't help but grin and suck the air conditioner. Although it was wine, his stamina was not small at all. He only felt sore and sore all over his body, but his mood was much more refreshing than before. After all, all the troubles were thrown behind him, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed for a while. However, Justinian knew that the joy at this moment was short, and it was still early to deal with Molia's unfinished matters!
The servant who was guarding outside the house also heard Justinian's wake up and hurried in to serve him and wash up.
Before, Justinian specially told him to keep the heat insulated water and was brought up, and there was also a basin of purifying water. Since there was no toothbrush, Justinian naturally went to the countryside to clean his teeth with cloth pieces. After washing his face, he was exhausted and felt extremely refreshed.
Looking at the servants beside him, Justinian suddenly asked, "How did I come back yesterday?" He only remembered that he drank a lot of wine, and he seemed to dance a dance in the village with Princess Odosia. Now when he thinks about it, he just feels like a dream. When he recalls it, he is extremely real, and his heartbeats subconsciously accelerates.
And the servant next to him quickly replied: "Last night, Lord Neuski sent you back, Master, and said he would come to see you the next day. Someone below had reported to Lord Neuski to come to the mansion to ask for a meeting, and instructed the villain to see you sleeping heavily, so he did not dare to wake up."
Justinian, who was so scared that he stood up quickly and looked a little. He didn't tell Neuski in advance what happened last night that he had no idea that with his own private guard, how could Neuski know that he had brought back his drunken self? Justinian could already think about how the Valangi man, who had always been a teacher and a friend, would teach him a lesson at that time.
"Well, then prepare quickly and change my clothes!" Justinian immediately got off the bed, and the servants around him immediately became busy.
Finally, Justinian, who was dressed again, got out of the hall surrounded by servants and rushed to the hall. It was completely inconsistent with the domineering aura that the commander of the Empire should have. Instead, he was a little disappointed, especially when Neusky, who looked serious, sat upright and waited for him.
"Guian, Lord Justinian, I believe you must have had a great time last night!" The calm man of Valangi said lightly. Although he was a Valangi, who was famous for his force, under the influence of Constantinople, Neuski also had his own cunning. His words made Justinian, who was late for a moment, feel embarrassed for a moment - after all, as a governor of the empire, he went to the village to attend the festival last night, which was indeed a bit out of tune.
"Haha, I just wanted to relax for a while, but I didn't expect you to find out." Haha, Justinian could only shrug and tried his best to calm the atmosphere at this time.
But Neuski raised his eyes and said rudely: "It's just that I discovered it? Not only that! The whole city has caused a lot of controversy. Do you know that many of those people in Molia are watching your jokes!" Originally, he didn't know that Justinian would actually leave Tripolis and visit the surrounding countryside. If it weren't for this, he would have been kept in the dark!
"It's these guys again. They'll never miss out on their true abilities without any rumors. It seems that they're still worried about me, the governor, and even pay attention to my every move. But it's ridiculous that they expect to suppress me in a way. Do they really think I'll care about the so-called aristocratic demeanor?" After learning all this, Justinian couldn't help but snorted coldly. These old aristocrats really like to challenge his bottom line. If it weren't for the Grand Duke Anastasius, he would have been rude to them long ago.
Looking at the man Varangi in front of him still looked unhappy, Justinian immediately smiled and said, "Okay, I did something wrong this time, and I will never hide it from you anymore!" Although he was a little depressed, Justinian also knew that this was indeed something he did wrong, so he took the initiative to admit his mistake and apologize to Neuski.
But Neuski showed a stern expression at this time and said seriously: "Mr. Justinian, do you think I'm talking about this? What I am really angry about now is not what you hide from me. As the commander, you have this power, but I cannot tolerate you not considering the consequences of anything you do. Whether it is the previous battle or yesterday, you are too willful. What if an accident occurs? You have never considered it!"
Neuski, who finally broke out, suddenly stood up, and the table in front of him was almost slapped by this strong man. The seemingly extreme dissatisfaction with Justinian was a concern for the safety of the young man. The son of a daughter could not sit in the hall, and the same was true for the West. Although the nobles also fought for honor, it did not mean that they could ignore the consequences. Especially as Justinian, he was responsible for the heavy trust of Emperor Muzfius, and his inattention to life safety was irresponsible for the rise and fall of the empire.
"Take only those little guards, what if you encounter an assassin?"
"If something happens at the celebration, how can we save you without knowing anything in the city?"
"Please stop taking yourself seriously if you do this!"
Neusky has always been a taciturn person, but this time he could not stop admonishing Justinian, and he followed one sentence, and Justinian, who knew that he was in the wrong, could only grit his teeth and continue.
But Justinian did not take these words as if they were heard. On the contrary, he felt the real concern in Neuski's heart and felt warm. Although this Varangi man was really just for the empire at the beginning, he had been fighting side by side for so long, and he didn't know the feelings of his comrades. He just became a tacit understanding between the men on both sides, and there was no need to say much.
Finally, Neuski seemed to be tired, so he stopped and looked at Justinian.
The boy in front of him also half helplessly spread his hands and promised: "Okay, I'll be killed if you say anything. Neuski, I will definitely try my best to pay attention to this in the future!"
"I hope you can do what you say." Neuski turned his eyes at the other party, and he did not continue to blame. I believe that Justinian can at least restrain himself. After all, as Justinian wins step by step, his identity is no longer the insignificant young boy he used to be. As before, I am afraid that one day he will die of a headache for Justinian.
After finally coming to an end, Justinian breathed a sigh of relief, and he immediately restrained his expression and said seriously: "But I think you come to me in the morning, there should be something else to report to me. Is something happened, Neuski?" Justinian, who knew the other party very well, suddenly guessed what should have happened, otherwise Neuski would not have come to teach him a lesson early in the morning.
