Under the quiet night, after the lively square gathering in the daytime, everything in the city seemed to be silent again, and fell asleep with people. At that time, the weather was still a little chilly at night, and Justinian, who was sitting by the window, still did not fall asleep peacefully. A glass of inferior cider provided by the hotel was poured into his throat, he was still thinking about what had happened in the past nearly a year.

It was like a dream, because of his arrival, history had begun to be rewritten, and a small change was enough to trigger a shocking and earth-shaking change. Muzfius escaped because of him. Bulgaria and Epirus reached an alliance ahead of time to curb the further expansion of the Latins. Athens, who could not be recovered for a hundred years, became his territory at this moment. Justinian looked at the dark sky and couldn't help but smiled, and slowly reached out his hand out of the window, as if he wanted to catch something.

Perhaps all this could be really rewritten by himself, Justinian murmured in his heart. He had been a little confused before, but now he has understood that whether it is to retrieve the fragments of the Ark of the Covenant or to save the country he once regretted, he is now tied to it. Since the Ark of the Covenant chose him and he also made a choice to stand at the forefront of this storm, no matter how huge the difficulties and obstacles are, it cannot shake Justinian at all! He made up his mind to the blue lake eyes in the darkness of the night!

Just as Justinian made a decision, a soft and gentle voice suddenly sounded in his ears:

"Very good looks, Justinian!"

The window in the next room opened at some point, while Odosia, who was supporting her elbows by the balcony railing, kept observing Justinian, and he was thinking about his thoughts and didn't notice it at all.

Odosia was wearing a light white pajamas, wearing only a large square cloak called Parudamentom to protect the cold. Seeing this, Justinian jumped down from the window and took away his lazy posture just now.

"I really make you laugh. Your Highness Princess. The habits developed in the army can no longer be changed. If you can't sleep at night, you will take a few sips." Justinian smiled awkwardly and put the bottle in his hand aside. Unexpectedly, it was so late that the princess did not sleep.

But seeing Justinian's restrained appearance, Odosia, helpless, smiled softly and said, "I don't blame you, and I have said it many times. Justinian, there is no need to call me Your Highness in such private occasions. Just call me 'Odosia'." As she said that, Justinian couldn't help but jumped over, leaning against the railing on the side of the balcony. Odosia snatched the bottle of cider at Justinian in her hand.

Justinian was so scared that she couldn't help but exclaim, and subconsciously called her name.

"Odosia!"

"That's right."

Odosia did not dislike the poor wine brewed by Murano. She took the bottle and then drank it into her throat. The warm feeling of wine immediately enveloped her limbs and bones. A hint of rosy appeared on her snow-white face, and her eyes were blurred with obvious pleasure. "Wow, I haven't drunk like this for a long time. I really miss the days before!" Although Odosia said these words with a smile, the meaning of them seemed to be as depressed and depressed as if she was holding infinite grief in Justinian's ears.

Justinian was also very surprised to see this scene at this moment. This was the first time he saw His Royal Highness in front of him giving up his reserved appearance.

Odosia drank faster and faster. Even if it wasn't for the strong wine, she became a little drunk soon. Justinian did not stop her. Perhaps because the heavy burden was always on this woman, he chose to vent this way! Justinian thought. This is not surprising. Although she was a mother or a princess of the empire, she might also be the future queen and even the queen mother. However, in the end, she was just a weak woman. Odosia was different from what she saw, Elena Ducas had the protection of her father and brother, and Antonia Doria herself had the intelligence and power of men. What supported her was only a simple sense of responsibility. And the experience of Alexia of Molia after losing her mother was more similar to the situation of Odosia today, but how could it be the same for supporting a family and saving a country to perish.

I don’t know how long it took, but I finally put down the bottle of wine that had already been in the air, and the princess who was still very excited just now also felt depressed at this moment and suddenly began to talk to herself.

"Justice Justinian, I want to tell you a story. This was what my teacher told me when I was very young. One day in ancient times, a king hunted a monster that was said to be wise, so the king asked it, what is the best thing in the world? And the monster replied: The best thing in the world is not to be born in this world. The king asked it again, what is the best thing? The monster said, it was dead just after birth. Do you know why?" He looked at the distant night sky with a bitter smile. Odosia never showed such a fragile expression in front of Justinian.

Looking at the drunken and sad eyes, Justinian's eyes flashed with hesitation. He had heard this fable, but he still replied slowly: "Because for that monster, this world means endless pain and troubles. Therefore, for this world full of pain, the best thing is to go from the future; even if you come here, the best result should not be stopped."

Odosia nodded immediately and said sadly: "Yes, I never understood the meaning of this sentence at the beginning, but now I deeply understand this meaning. I am in the royal family like that monster. Can I agree to a request? Justinian, don't let Helena repeat my mistakes. If there is anything worth remembering, it's her. If I have any accidents, I promise that I must protect her."

"Why do you... say that, Your Highness?"

Odosia's words made Justinian feel a little bad at all, but the weak woman in front of her seemed drunk and fell into her arms...

"It's so pitiful!"
