Chapter 84 The Iron Crown

"Are you looking for me?" A feeble voice came from behind people at this time. Although it sounded extremely weak, people immediately recognized that it was indeed Justinian's voice based on their previous performance on the battlefield.

.

What?!

A group of Bulgarian nobles walked past in disbelief. With the support of a few soldiers, a young man with a pale face appeared in front of everyone, looking calm and calm.

But looking around, the sharp eyes at this moment were like sharp bows and arrows shooting at Justinian, who looked sick and haggard, and the tense atmosphere around him suddenly dropped to freezing point, and only the Bolgar guards with their scimitars drawn out were seen.

They immediately surrounded him and waited for an order to capture the biggest suspect in the assassination of the Tsar on the spot.

The chamberlain who testified even fanned the flames and screamed: "He was the one who assassinated His Majesty the Tsar. Hurry...quickly take him down!"

This seemingly panicked look was an obvious provocation in the eyes of Prince Theodore, who was watching coldly. And as expected, the nobles who had been slightly relaxed soon became passionate again, and the eyes looking at Justinian became murderous.

.I am afraid that if you are not careful, things will become unimaginable. But compared to

The worst thing at this time is that the people who can really control the situation have their own agendas. In a sense, the truth is no longer so important. The Kingdom of Bulgaria, which has lost Kaloyan and is leaderless, will face a vacuum of power.

The battle would also mean that almost all of them who besieged Thessalonica would be completely lost.

Theodore Ducasse, who was in a complicated mood, looked at the weak-looking Justinian in front of him, and for a moment he didn't know how to deal with the current situation. And no matter who Tsar Kaloyan was assassinated, this young man didn't seem to have any

There is no way to completely clear it up, and this will inevitably give the other party an opportunity to incite and confuse people's minds.

But at this moment, looking calmly at the fierce scenes around him, Justinian, who looked as usual, said calmly: "Assassinate His Majesty Kaloyan? How is this possible? Why should I do this? And from before to now I have

I have never been to Yazhang, so how could I have a chance to assassinate him?"

Those eyes were calm, as if all this had nothing to do with him. Justinian cleanly denied the chamberlain's accusation, and people could not find a trace of lying on the young man's face.

It can be seen that Justinian denied it, but the furious chamberlain immediately shouted: "You can't even think about sophistry, I saw you sneaking into the Tsar's tent to plot evil! Don't think that you can distance yourself from the relationship by hiding it and coming out now!"

This chamberlain knew that he had made a huge negligence by letting Justinian go before. At this moment, he could only hold on to Justinian, otherwise, he would inevitably face the great master afterwards.

Angry. The more he thought about it, the more panicked he became. The chamberlain just focused his attention on Justinian again but inadvertently said the wrong thing, which just gave Justinian the opportunity to seize the counterattack.

"Oh, you just said that you saw a suspicious person sneaking into the Tsar's tent, but you turned a blind eye and let Tsar Kaloyan be killed before you reacted, right?"

The sharp-eyed young man's sneering rhetorical question immediately made some people suddenly wake up. It is indeed unbelievable that a young boy could enter the dental tent that was supposed to be tightly guarded and kill the tsar. And if it is really like what this chamberlain officer said.

If you say so, it is too questionable. Even the always reckless Boril Asen felt that there was something strange about it.

The speechless chamberlain then realized that he had made a mistake, his heart trembled, and he quickly defended: "I just thought that His Majesty the Tsar had important matters to discuss with you, so I didn't realize that you had evil intentions, otherwise...

"

"Otherwise, would you have rushed in and stopped all this? I'm afraid this is a bit insincere. According to what you just described, it means that you didn't see Tsar Kaloyan die in my hands at all, so why do you keep saying so?

What about saying that I assassinated Tsar Kaloyan?" Justinian sneered and directly interrupted the chamberlain in mid-sentence, and this was his real purpose.

From beginning to end, Justinian's assassination of the Tsar was just one-sided words of the chamberlain. The chamberlain and guards watched a Greek enter the Tsar's tent alone without stopping him, which indeed aroused the suspicion of many people.

.

After all, intrigues have always existed in the Kingdom of Bulgaria. For example, the previous tsar also died in a palace conspiracy. It is not that no one doubts that Kaloyan died due to internal strife.

But at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded——

"However, after you have said so much, you also have no evidence that you were not present at the time, right, Justinian?"

I saw a pair of cold eyes staring at Justinian. Grand Duke Ivan, who had not said a word, suddenly asked at this moment, bringing all the focus of the matter back to the original point, and the atmosphere in the camp suddenly became anxious.

Turn around a few times. After all, the few words Justinian just said can only sway some people, but cannot convince them at all to eliminate the suspicion of his existence.

And just when everyone thought that Justinian couldn't understand it at the moment, a timid voice came from an inconspicuous place.

"If it's proof, Grand Duke, I think we should...should be able to testify for Lord Justinian."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions suddenly changed, and looking at the source of the voice, the ones who spoke were the soldiers who helped Justinian come over before. I saw that they were all wearing the uniforms of the Bulgarian army, and

A nobleman among the Bulgars immediately recognized their organization at a glance and blurted out:

"I remembered, you must be from the Earl of Connaughtine in the rear army. How come you are with Justinian?" He clearly remembered that there were many places there, whether it was the Roman army camp or the Tsar's tent.

A long distance is correct, and as soon as this sentence was uttered, everyone present immediately realized something.

Justinian also smiled faintly at this time and said: "Yes, I was in the rear camp when I met them before, which means -"

"In other words, if Justinian is really the assassin who murdered Tsar Kaloyan, even if he has wings on his body, it is impossible for him to appear in the rear camp far away from here in a short time. Now, everyone present

Everyone, do you still suspect that we did it?" After catching the words just right, Prince Theodore saw that Justinian had strong evidence to clear out the suspicion, and then his attitude changed and he stood up forcefully,

And the situation has reversed once again.

But at this moment, the panicked voices of the attendants cleaning up the scene came from the Tsar's tent.

"Iron Crown, Bulgaria's Iron Crown is missing!"
