After an unknown amount of time, Justinian, who had calmed down, stepped away from Odosia in embarrassment. Although he felt much better after venting like this, he felt even more confused now.

How should I face the princess in front of me?

Justinian had met countless nobles, some were firm and kind, some were cunning and cunning, but Eudosiya attracted him in a real sense. It was not a simple emotional longing, but the kind of beauty that was rare for a noble.

Justinian was truly impressed by his affinity and sense of responsibility, and this

It has disappeared for many years in the history of Byzantium. It can be said that Eudocia, the daughter of Alexius III, has no resemblance to her father at all. It is a pity that she is a girl, otherwise she would

There must be a chance to become a monarch who can truly change the empire.

When facing her, Justinian felt that he was not like a courtier with her, but had a feeling between a sister and a younger brother. In front of her, Justinian no longer had to deliberately put on his clothes.

The original coat could serve as a real Justinian, not a little fox that makes outsiders fearful.

At this moment, little Helena, who had been silently watching the crying Justinian, who had been "left out" by her mother, made a face at this moment, suddenly breaking the awkward atmosphere.

"Boys who cry are worthless. Shame! Shame!" Helena said while looking at Justinian and jumped to her mother's side with her nose hung up. The young girl's bulging face was full of dissatisfaction, and she paused.

Time made the previously heavy atmosphere suddenly lively.

"Helena!" The helpless mother couldn't help laughing when she saw her daughter's jealous look. Although she was scolding her, she was not convincing at all.

When this scene fell into Justinian's eyes, his originally heavy heart suddenly relaxed a lot. Subconsciously looking up at the snow in the sky, the young man suddenly remembered something, and saw Justinian standing quickly.

When he got up, he took off the robe he was wearing and put it on Eudosia and her daughter to keep them warm from the cold, and said:

"Your Highness Odosia, you cannot stay here for a long time. I will take you to find a safe place to settle down first."

Odosia was also frightened. Although the place was in ruins, there was no guarantee that the rebels would find them if they didn't worry. It would be terrible. Staying for a moment longer would be more dangerous, so she put on the coat of Chazhi without any hesitation.

Wearing Tiny's fox fur robe, Eudocia picked up her daughter, who had been in a bad mood just now and was now well-behaved, and prepared to ride on Justinian's horse and leave this place of right and wrong together.

However, the rapid sound of horse hoofbeats suddenly came from the path up the mountain, and Justinian and Eudocia suddenly felt cold in their hearts. At this moment, they wanted to hide back in the monastery.

It's too late in the ruins.

It seems that what he was most worried about before happened. With Eudosiya and her daughter hiding behind him, Justinian drew the sword from his waist and prepared for the worst.

I saw a bright torch appearing on the top of the mountain. Under the light of the fire, the black shadow of the rider was also stretched infinitely. It was obvious that there were many people on the other side. And this made Justinian's heart sink even more. He was alone with his own strength.

It would be a bit reluctant for a person to escape unscathed, let alone protect a mother and daughter. Could it be said that this time we are really in a desperate situation?

Justinian, who tightly clenched the weapon in his hand and was prepared to wake up, had no choice but to fight to the death at this moment.

But at this moment, opposite Justinian, a familiar voice came from the group of black shadows, which stunned the young man who had been holding a weapon and preparing to meet the enemy. He couldn't believe his ears.

"Is it you, Lord Justinian?"

"How could it be you?! How could you appear here?" Justinian was startled when he heard the other party's voice at once, and under the bright firelight, he finally saw clearly what appeared here.

The true face of the black shadow, as expected, these riders are none other than the Turkic warriors under Justinian's command. He had clearly told them repeatedly not to follow, but these guys also failed to abide by the agreement like him and secretly followed

Came over.

On the other side, the snow outside the city of Tripolis has been getting heavier and heavier. Such a scene has not appeared in Moria for decades. This year's winter has come a little too early. It is precisely like this,

No one noticed what was happening on the hills outside the city, and with the snowflakes falling, no one had the time to go there to check on the situation.

Everyone was idly watching the snowy scenery inside and outside the city. Whether it was the nobles in the city, the civilians in the city, or the soldiers keeping watch on the city wall, the difference was just the warmth brought by a handful of firewood.

However, compared with these, the prisons in the city seemed too bad. The cold winter came prematurely, making the environment here even more torturous. Not only did the prisoners inside have no charcoal fire to keep warm, they did not even have cotton-padded clothes to keep out the cold.

Cursing in vain. However, there is a place that is different from other cells. In a remote corner, a temporarily vacated prison has always been prepared for repeat offenders.

Yes, but there is firelight in it. Compared with the stinky appearance of other prisons, this place is like heaven. Not only is it specially cleaned, but there is a separate bed and quilt, and more importantly, there is a charcoal fire for heating. But I am imprisoned here.

The person did not look like a prisoner at all, but a noble lady in gorgeous clothes. And she was none other than Countess Alexia of the Papadoros family.

"Miss Alexia, have you thought about it?" At this moment, a woman's voice sounded from outside the cell door, and the person walking slowly was the Alexia whom she treated as a relative.

Aunt Zoe.

At this moment, this woman had completely lost her original look of being a servant with a low eyebrow. Instead, she had a arrogant and cold face. She walked in calmly and looked at Alexi, who had not eaten for two days.

Ya asked.

However, it was Alexia's arrogant and cold words that answered her, "Aunt Zoe, I have already said it once, and it will be the same answer in the future. It is impossible. I will never kill me."

My mother's people cooperated. Even if I die or even the entire Papadoros family is destroyed, there is absolutely no chance." He said with firm words.

After cutting off the other party's persuasion, Alexia directly rejected the other party's temptation with the simplest and most direct attitude. Seeing the girl's indifferent appearance, Mrs. Zoe, who had always been as cold as ice, also frowned slightly.
