"Your Highness, if you go out to show your face at this time, I think the effect will be better." Antonia looked at the woman in front of her and said lightly, and the one sitting in the carriage with her was the third princess of the former empire, nominally, the empire's empire, Odosia Angeles.

Since Thessalonika was restored, under the arrangement of Justinian, the empire's queen was secretly placed in the city, and no one has known her whereabouts for a long time. However, after a few months ago, the Genoese girl with Justinian's token came here, she changed her course and unabashedly promoted the presence of Queen Odosia. Not only did she appear publicly, she also helped the disaster victims to repair churches and houses in the name of the queen. But all this expense was borne by her alone. Every day, Genoa merchant ships traveled and kept docked at the port of Thessalonika to transport the urgently needed products of life. The affordable food greatly alleviated the famine of refugees in Thessalonika city, and at the same time shattered the secret conspiracy of many ulterior motives.

But what exactly did she do this?

Odosia looked at the girl in front of her and asked in confusion: "Why don't you want to go with me? Miss Antonia, they have a contribution to their ability to settle here. Perhaps let people know that everything you do silently can resolve their misunderstanding of you." Although Princess Odosia did not have any good feelings for the Latins in the growing environment of Constantinople, she knew that she was unforgettable for the atrocities she had done by the Crusaders.

The prejudice of the board is undoubtedly a kind of ignorant arrogance. When she was able to leave Constantinople safely, it was the cover of a Venetian merchant traveling with her. This time, when the local nobles in Thessalonika firmly opposed the release of refugees into the city, the girl in front of her took the initiative to secretly provide help to allow these people to survive the war. This made Odosia firmly believe that this Genoa girl who seemed difficult to get along with also had a warm and gentle side in her heart.

However, facing the invitation from the princess, Antonia flatly refused.

"I never need your trust. This is just a deal between me and the guy Justinian. And doing so will only waste the food I send. There are not only so many mouths to eat in the city, but countless eyes are staring at it all the time. The merchant ships in Genoa can turn a blind eye to it, but if I come forward, they will do their best to stop the relief from continuing. So, my dear Your Highness, not everyone

They all care about the life and death of these insignificant people. If they were not afraid of the title of the Imperial Princess, they would not even keep these hungry people into the city. At this time, some people might be gritting their teeth for the food they have hoarded to be unable to sell at a high price." Antonia looked out of the carriage calmly and explained expressionlessly. This Genoese girl had long been accustomed to these methods. In the city of Genoa, the intrigue among the nobles was more skillful than this.

Seeing the girl's unmoved look, Odosia sighed slightly, coughed twice, and did not try to persuade her again. She just felt that the child in front of her was very stubborn.

...

When the princess slowly walked down from the carriage, the maid guarding outside quickly stepped forward to support him, and the burly guards immediately moved closer to form a human wall to guard him, and dared not be negligent. The movement here quickly attracted the attention of the hungry people outside the Church of San Demitrios, and when they saw a dazzling purple color appear among the black armored soldiers, they immediately triggered a burst of cheers.

This was not the first time they saw this hopeful purple color, and saw the people on both sides of the arch of Galerius waving their hands or blankets to pay tribute, calling out the name, and praying and blessing to God.

"His Highness Odosia!"

The cheering people looked at the "she" who walked into the crowd alone and was ecstatic. It was "she" who let go of the closed Thessalonika gate in their moment of despair. In the eyes of Macedonian refugees, this noble woman was like Moses who separated from the Red Sea.

The guards followed closely behind. Although they could not drive away any hungry people under the advice of the princess, they still strictly guarded around them to prevent any potential threats. Odosia did not use simple harmony to calm the emotions of the hungry people, but instead made a promise to the anxious and expectant refugees in front of her in a fluent Macedonian Greek dialect mixed with Slavic language. In the tradition of the Roman Empire, this was undoubtedly not a strange scene. As early as the imperial period, Augustus entered the Colosseum and waved at the people with a smile and enjoyed the people. When major events in the country happened, the emperor, as the ruler, had to spend money to win the hearts of the people.

This approach is often all-in-one, but it also makes it more and more difficult for the people to be satisfied. At first, everyone was honored to treat the emperor, but gradually the venue for meeting with the emperor became a place for protests and demonstrations, and sometimes even riots occurred. A big man was even more fragile than a piece of paper in front of the fierce crowd. So, Justinian I, the hero of the area, was panicked when facing the Nika riot. If it weren't for Queen Theodora's persuasion and Belisarius' timely lead the troops, he would have died on the spot under the rocks. Therefore, Odosia did not hesitate at all, and chose to get to the point directly and take the right to speak in the entire square into his own hands.

At this moment, this woman who was weak in the past was as bright as a ray of light in the darkness, which was desirable and awesome. After a while, most of the resentment among the hungry people dissipated. People often only remember that this princess was a noble nobleman in purple and the princess of the Angeles family. However, Dukalina's blood was flowing on her body. Although Odosia was unwilling to do this, it did not mean that she would not. At the same time, the guards who protected Queen Odosia were still trembling and did not dare to slack off. Although the emotions of the hungry people were stable, they still had to be careful not to let anyone approach Odosia easily, for fear of something big.

Seeing all this, Antonia looked indifferently at the back of the princess, and unknown darkness was hidden in her dark green eyes.

"Is it really okay for you to do this?" At some point, a man appeared in the car, sitting in front of the Genoese girl, looking at the princess's ceremonial guards that were gradually moving away. The person came was Sir Baptist who came from the White Tower.
