Such detailed information made Manuel a little suspicious, "How do you know it in such detail?"

The eunuch in front of him calmly explained: "Didn't we provide you with the previous information? The reason is very simple. The queen has already placed an informant there, but she has never found the right person to take charge of cleaning up this matter. If

If you don't believe it, Lord Manuel, you can go to the Varangian Guards

to investigate whether a soldier named Igor is missing, and the soldiers at the Plesia Gate can also testify that they saw him on a suspicious Dromon battleship this morning. We speculate that this soldier is ten

Eighty-nine of them were kidnapped and used to hide themselves from the public and avoid Constantinople."

"Why didn't you say such an important thing earlier? Otherwise, there wouldn't have been so much trouble." After hearing this, Manuel was shocked and then angry. He was clearly being manipulated by these people in front of him.

Like a puppet.

"Please calm down." The eunuch bowed slightly and apologized, "There is nothing we can do about it. The people over there were obviously noticed by these assassins first. We also discovered our temporary change of location this morning by the dock.

This possibility was deduced from the intelligence hints left by the informants. I'm really sorry."

Seeing the other party's attitude, the arrogant Manuel just lost his temper a little and said dejectedly: "This is the end of the matter. I have tried my best. I'm afraid I won't be able to do anything to help you next."

.”

"Please don't be discouraged. The queen sent this old slave to discuss this matter with you."

"What's going on?" Manuel frowned slightly, having already guessed most of it.

The eunuch no longer concealed it, and immediately said: "The Queen still hopes that you can continue to take over this matter and investigate it thoroughly. For this reason, she has mobilized a naval squadron for your deployment."

"But..." Manuel hesitated slightly in his heart. He came here in response to the order of Emperor Alexius III, so that he could show off his skills to restore the glory of the family, and also to investigate his father's friend Val.

The cause of Minister Tazes's death was true, but leaving Constantinople for the northern wilderness had to make him hesitate.

But the eunuch's next words completely moved the ambitious young noble, "Oh, it's right for you to have such concerns. It's a pity that the queen is considering marrying Princess Eudosia to you, but

If we can't rely on this matter to put pressure on His Majesty the Emperor, I'm afraid it will be difficult to do so."

"You said that the Queen is going to betroth Princess Eudosia to me?" Manuel Komnenos couldn't help but feel excited after learning the news. As a descendant of Emperor Isaac Komnenos for a long time,

Their status is very embarrassing. During the period of Manuel I, his father was named the Despot of Moria. Although his status was lofty, he was completely far away from the center of power in Constantinople.

Watching the empire's power rise and fall over the decades, this young duke has always been unwilling to do so. He fought bravely in the Bulgarian War but still failed to be reused, and this time if he can really become the empire's prince-consort,

Then it will no longer be an extravagant hope to enter the power center of this empire in the future! And the ambition he has always had in his heart can finally be realized, as if everything is already in front of him.

Thinking of this, Manuel couldn't help but feel excited. He immediately cleared away his hesitation and decisively expressed to the eunuch in front of him: "I am willing to go. Please tell Her Majesty the Queen that Manuel is loyal to her."

L. Comneno will not disappoint him."

Looking at Manuel's determined expression, the white-haired old eunuch nodded with satisfaction. He knew that faced with such conditions, the young man in front of him would never refuse.

"Oh? In this case, Your Excellency Manuel, you can share the Queen's worries like this. After this incident, I will definitely worry about your affairs. I will return to the palace and return to my life. Before that, please allow me to overstep my respect.

You are a prince consort."
