"Leo, what we are most worried about is indeed happening." Neuski's expression had never been so serious at this time. If it was really as the nanny said in front of him, it would be a big deal. Now half of the power they were trapped here comes from the Papadoros family, and if Alexia really couldn't control the situation, the consequences would undoubtedly be disastrous.

On the side, the governor of Leo nodded silently. He also knew the seriousness of the matter and felt extremely heavy. After all, no matter how strong the barrier is, no effort will be of no help.

The two exchanged their eyes, then made a decision at the same time and said, "So what is Lord Arixia going to do about this matter? I think she asked you to come here, so what should I ask us?"

From the current point of view, if someone is really ready to move, then they should not have taken action yet. The most suitable countermeasure at this time is to start first.

And Madam Zoe, who was in front of her, swallowed her saliva, hesitated for a long time before saying, "Miss Alexia wants to meet two of you alone first. If possible, please come with me now."

Is the situation already in a hurry? Looking at the other party's nervous appearance, Neuski and Rio's garrison leader were slightly shocked, and nodded without hesitation.

"Okay, we'll leave now without delay."

As he said that, Neuski and the garrison commander Leo were about to take the guards to meet Alexia with the woman in front of him, but they were stopped by each other.

"This matter is very important. To cover up, please don't bring too many people to prevent others from doubting them."

"Okay." Seeing that the matter was urgent, Neuski and Leo did not doubt that he had him, so they followed the nanny to the other courtyard where Alexia was located with only a few followers.

Night had completely fallen, and the monastery, which had turned into a fort, was wary of the attacks that could be launched at any time at the foot of the mountain. Although it had been surrounded, under the joint defense of the Papadoros family's private armed forces and the duke guards, the forces supporting Justinian repelled the rebels' attacks again and again.

But the situation was not optimistic at all. The woman stood up and looked down at the ancient monastery. She saw that the road at the foot of the mountain had been completely blocked by Molia's rebels. If it weren't for the military monastery in Tripolis, she happened to come here to perform Mass on the day of the rebellion. I'm afraid it had fallen into the hands of Leosgros.

"Why do they do this? The empire has reached this critical moment of life and death, right?" Although neither sadness nor anger appeared on his face, there was a deep pain in Odosia's whisper.

And at this moment, behind her, an old voice rang out.

"All tragedies come from the greed of human nature, and to satisfy one's own greed, everything can be betrayed at will. Is this kind of thing less in our history? Not to mention that the usurper Andronica I did not hesitate to restore the trade privileges of the Venetians in order to secure his blood-stained crown, making His Majesty Manuel's efforts go to waste. What a sarcastic, but how realistic. Most people always care only if they are in their eyes.

The previous benefit is just. In a sense, Ling Zun can be said to be well aware of the truth." The old man who was lying on the bed said quietly that it was Grand Duke Anastasius. He was only a little sick, but because of this sudden rebellion, he got exhausted both physically and mentally, which aggravated his condition. However, in a hurry, there was not even a doctor here, so he could only rely on Odosia, a princess, to take care of the sick old man's daily life.

In this regard, Odosia, who had learned some simple medical knowledge with the nuns of the monastery, had no complaints, even though Grand Duke Anastasius mentioned her father.

"You are right, indeed. If there were more people in the country like you, perhaps all tragedies would not have happened." Odosia did not refute. If she really wanted to hold her accountable, her father Alexei III would be directly responsible. During his ten years of reign, the imperial politics became increasingly corrupt and the military was increasingly deflated, so that the 80,000 troops led by the city of Constantinople was defeated in front of the Latin Crusades and eventually fled in a hurry. He abandoned his people and lost the most brilliant pearl among the cities - Constantinople.

On the sickbed, looking at the princess who were sincerely confessing in her eyes, Anastasius laughed mockingly, coughed weakly and said, "What right do I have to say these beautiful words now? When Andronica usurped the throne and was discouraged, I went to Molia to retreat to seclusion. It was just a way to escape responsibility! But you, your respected princess, I have not seen anyone like you who remember the glory of the nobles in purple and willing to perform for them. In a sense, you and Justinian are both 'freaks'!"

"Is the 'freak'? Actually, I thought of giving up at one time, until the child Justinian appeared and said something like that to me. He was really strange and could always bring us changes and miracles. Maybe the future of this country can really be placed on him!" At this point, Odosia's face also showed a look of emotion. It was precisely because she believed Justinian that even though the situation is so critical now, the princess was still calm.

But at this moment, on the hospital bed, Grand Duke Anastasius suddenly looked at Odosia in front of him and said solemnly: "Ahem... Your Highness, this may be my intuition of this old bone. Although it is very unlucky to say these words at this time, I still hope that if I have any accidents, you can bring some words to Justinian, which is also the last little extravagant for me to live such a big age." When the old man said this, he

He coughed violently, and an unhealthy flush appeared on his pale face. Looking at this scene, although Odosia tried her best to hide her sadness, her mood had fallen to the bottom of the valley. It was obvious that the Grand Duke Anastasius in front of her had reached the point where the oil lamp was exhausted, and if it weren't for this sudden rebellion, all this could have been completely avoided. Despite the grief, but enduring the fluctuations of her emotions, Odosia still looked at the old man in front of her who was drooling in her and agreed to his last request.
