Chapter 23 The Voice of the Princess
"It seems that I'm here very soon. At least I can know what you are thinking. However, the words of the one just now really made me laugh - I feel guilty, you may not have the qualifications yet." A sneer came from outside the door of the noble hall, followed by the morning sunlight, which dispelled the gloomy darkness. For a moment, the unaccommodating nobles subconsciously raised their hands and blocked them. When they calmed down and looked in the sound, they saw the man standing under the steps not far away that they didn't want to see the most.
The city councillor they were about to impeach - Baptiste!
His sudden presence caught the nobles of Thessalonika off guard, and this scene also made both sides' hostility as always about to break out at this moment.
Just as the nobles were about to act like a slut because of Baptist's rebelliousness, Earl Yoannis looked deep and signaled the others present to calm the anger in their hearts.
Looking down, Yoannis said, "His Excellency Baptist, today we are invited by His Highness the Princess. It seems inappropriate for you to visit suddenly like this!"
Batiste sneered and retorted: "But what you are talking about here is still about me? I think I should come here in person to listen to what you think of me."
Yoannis looked cold, "Then I have the opposite view of you. Since you know what we are discussing, you should avoid suspicion at this time. The matter we are discussing with His Highness the Princess is not over yet. Lord Baptiste, I think you should go home."
As soon as Yoannis finished speaking, the nobles' guards appeared at Baptiste's side and wanted to force him to leave - but then the Vadarita who broke in was forced back with the sabre in his hand. At some point, these brave warriors had already broken through the guards outside and rushed in.
Seeing this scene, the nobles of Thessalonika changed their color. Their eyes of these aliens were like beasts, full of distrust, and they were about to break out in conflict.
And at this time, a voice stopped everyone present.
"His Excellency Baptiste, Earl of Yoannis, please stop. Now is not the time to fight in the same room!" After the words fell, the figure of Princess Odosiya blocked between two groups of tense people.
Looking at the woman standing in front of him, Yoannis slowly stood up from his seat. His height was astonishingly high as a mountain. "Your Highness, this matter has never been related to you. For your sake, we have been for a long time in the past few months. But obviously, Your Excellency Baptist has not received your affection - if that is the case, then I will solve this matter in the way he is willing to do it! The masters here and I agree that this Latin man is not suitable to continue as a municipality in Thessalonika."
And the Latin man behind Odocia had a calm expression and teased: "Don't you really think that the opinions of you and those fools around you are useful, Yoannis?"
Baptist's sarcastic words suddenly ignited the anger in the hearts of the nobles, and the condemnation surged down from the stage like a tide.
"Damn bastard! You dare-"
"Sir Earl, don't talk to this damn Latin anymore! His existence will only cause trouble for Thessalonika, so I will solve him as soon as possible!"
The curses that were about to turn into a coup at any time. In the hall, some of the nobles who were standing on the neutral side were gradually mobilized. Many of them escaped from Constantinople and had long hated the Latins, and now they could not bear it anymore to ride on their heads.
On the stage, more and more nobles stood up, just like the senate surrounding Caesar, and the situation became increasingly dangerous. No one could predict what an angry person would do in the next moment.
But the princess's voice sounded again in everyone's ears. Although the breath in his voice was insufficient, it was enough to subconsciously calm the nobles.
"Sit in the corner over there," for a while, Odosiya had quickly swept across all the nobles present with her eyes and found several people she had not noticed before. "Are you a member of the Gavras family?"
The man quickly stood up and replied, "Yes, Your Highness."
Unlike other nobles, this nobleman was already over 60 years old and had always been very quiet. When Odoxiya recognized him, he quickly stood up in fear and fear.
"My father, Alexe III, pardoned the patriarch of your family and gave Chardia's fief to your family. Can you ask if Lord Constantine or his loyal Angelis's minister?"
"He has always been." The man replied firmly. "Even when your father went to Thessaly, Lord Constantine sent someone to serve the king."
Looking at this scene, Yoanis stood quietly, while the other nobles around him looked confused and confused in his eyes.
"Three of Daniel," said Odosiya, looking at the three on the side of the wall and saying, "When I say hello to the noble Daniel, I remember you three on duty in the Holy Palace. Since you are safe here, I believe that the lord should be healthy."
The three little nobles looked at each other. They were indeed guards of the Holy Palace and those who fled to Thessalonika in Constantinople. They had never spoken, but they never thought they would be recognized by the princess. After hesitation, they still stood up and said, "All our lord is fine, Your Highness."
"Then I guess his allegiance to Angeles has not changed." The woman nodded and turned directly to the group of fully armed nobles in the corner. These people were obviously different from the local nobles in Thessalonika. And Odosiya knew that they were the key to the next negotiation. "Mr., I am also familiar with the armor on you. Although I have not seen it myself, I think you are under Lord Taber. I don't think you are wrong?"
Their leader stood up. "Your Highness, you are right. I am Taber. This armor was given to me by His Majesty Muzfius. Our Majesty Alexei's name, we will never dare to look at, Your Highness!"
Unlike the other nobles who called Odocia, the grandpas Toprae in front of him called him the queen of the empire. Obviously, they were the people of Alexa V who ascended the throne when Constantinople was besieged.
Seeing so many nobles saluted Odocia, Yoannis's face changed slightly at this time. It turned out that these people had been watching the changes in the dark and did not express their opinions from beginning to end, but he did not notice.
The nobles of Thessalonika also discovered that the originally weak princess' eyes were different from those just now. "In the name of His Majesty Angeles and Muzfius, Thessalonika will never allow private fights." She took out a ring and an edict in her hand, which was the golden edict and private edict of Alexe V. "Everyone here, if you are still the subjects in purple, then I ask you to help suppress all those who violate the law of the empire."
