"I'm not trying to threaten you, but I just hope you can help me at the right time, so that your and my previous favors can be written off." said slowly, Prince Theodor looked at Juan Baptiste meaningfully in front of him.

Although Theodor said this, in Baptiste's opinion, it was no different from a threat. He did have contact with the man in front of him at the beginning, and finally weighed the pros and cons and chose to continue to support Justinian. However, the trace of the original made him finally give him a handle. At this moment, Prince Theodor's intention was obviously more obvious.

"I think it seems that the relationship between you and Lord Justinian is closer. I really can't think of a place that can help you." Baptiste did not refuse directly but answered in this tactful way. But this was not enough to let the other party give up.

"Oh, is that?! But Justinian can actually entrust you with important tasks and even help him manage Thessalonika. This is enough to prove that he trusts you enough." Theodor said with a smile on his answer to Baptiste, which made the Italian man feel very stressed at this time, and he really couldn't argue anything else.

Baptist, helplessly, had to shake his head helplessly, knowing that he must have no choice now. "I can help you with anything, I will do my best, but since I have chosen to be loyal to Lord Justinian, you should also know how much weight the oath of being a knight is."

Under the coercion and temptation of Theodor's soft and hard work, although the Italian man had to choose to surrender, he still expressed his position and was unwilling to betray Justinian.

But Baptist's actions made Theodor himself feel a little more contemptuous and playful.

After all, if that vow was really heavy, Baptiste shouldn't have made such a move in Corinth.

However, the mockery in his heart, Theodor Ducas still looked like a kind middle-aged man on his face. Prince Theodor opened his arms and said happily: "Don't worry, I will naturally not make you embarrassed. I just hope you can help me find out what Justinian's intention to go to Bulgaria this time. In addition to this, I also want to figure out one thing, that is, whether Justinian had any other adventures in Molia besides being favored by Grand Duke Anastasius himself. I believe that it should be no problem to explore these two things with your ability. After this incident, no matter what the result is, I swear with my reputation that everything that happened in Corinthian will disappear forever and never happen."

"Okay, I promise you that. But why do you do this? As far as I know, your Highness, you and Lord Justinian should be firm ally!"

Seeing the other party say this, Baptist also understood that he could not refuse the request of the party, so he had to respond, "It is precisely because it is an ally that I have to figure out some things. After all, only allies have the chance to stab the knife in the back, right?" Prince Theodor shrugged and replied with a smile, but the smile on the man's face at this moment really made Baptist feel very uncomfortable.

Is that true? Maybe it’s something you Greeks are used to!

Silently said in his heart, this Italian man has finally felt the characteristics that the Roman Empire has been nurtured over the past thousand years, which are natural distrust and endless conspiracies. Even the unbreakable alliances and oaths can be changed at will in the eyes of the Greeks.

On the other hand, Theodor did have other plans. Although he had seen Justinian's ability very early and realized that the young man was a talent. However, after the battle of Thessalonika, he understood more clearly that the fact was that this little fox of Molia was definitely not a hawk that he could send at will. Even if he was a fox, he would never be a beast that he could not accept tamed. Even if he was weak at the moment, he could not change this fact.

As for the alliance between the two sides, it will sooner or later break down. Now they fight side by side to deal with the threat of Mikhail Ducas. However, Justinian is loyal to Emperor Muzfius, while Theodor is unwilling to live under the crowd for a long time. He even has his own brother to oppose it, let alone the emperor who has become disabled!

Since sooner or later, instead of being caught off guard with the Latins in the future, Theodor made up his mind to be fully prepared, so he had the layout of Baptist, the secret chess.

In fact, Theodor had already doubted it long ago. You should know that Justinian, who was sent to Ilovan Castle, was alone and had nothing in his hands. He was unable to deal with the invasion of Croatian pirates. Even if he was secretly supported by the noble Genoese, he was very weak when he was sent to Molia. But in just a few months, the fledgling boy suddenly formed a team in Molia and quickly swept away the two great enemies in front of him, the once arrogant Majesty of Achaia and the Principal of Athens. It was really incredible. Even though he admitted that Justinian was extraordinary and talented, it was absolutely impossible to do this by his own strength alone, unless he had enough prestige to summon a large number of troops to work together with him in a short time.

But that was clearly what Justinian lacked the most at that time. After the Battle of Alfios, Theodor sent his spy around Justinian to report that he was very reluctant to even replenish the army. But since Justinian went to Fort Wiscarri, everything has changed drastically. But at that time, all spys sent by Theodor were inexplicably broken off from contact with him or were inserted into a remote area by Justinian. So Justinian had a long time in Molia and Theodor knew nothing about it, but he had heard a very bizarre news that it was the princess of the empire in Molia, and later the long-lost Eurosia Angelina, the wife of Emperor Muzfius, had appeared in Molia.

When contacting Doth Justinian seemed to have been sent to the border castle near Molia at the time of Muzfius' request, the border castle near Molia. Looking back now, Theodor Ducas also seemed to realize the intention of the blind emperor to do so. What does an orthodox princess of the empire mean? It is conceivable that the Lascaris brothers of Nicea have the right to claim the throne because they married Alexe III's two eldest daughters? Then the value of Odosia as the royal family of the previous dynasty is clear at a glance.
