"Romanus, come here..." Theodor Ducas, who was riding on horseback and stopped to look into the distance, looked at the eldest son behind him and said in a deep voice.

And below the cliff under their feet was a mess of ruins. A peaceful small fishing village here had turned into a white ball, with only the pitch-black coke ripping with a few bright red Mars.

"Father!" Romanus, who had been standing behind Prince Theodor, responded, but looking at his father beside him, Romanus's face became a little nervous.

But Prince Theodor seemed to be thinking about something else in his heart, and did not notice the abnormality of his son, but just pondered:

“Something is not right.”

"What... what's wrong, father?" Romanus' body shook slightly and asked subconsciously.

"What happened here is not right. It is not like the things that the Venetians and pirates did." Prince Theodor, who had already discovered something was wrong from clues, immediately made a judgment.

These villages were definitely not attacked from the sea, because the pirates' offensive mobility is very poor, and they are generally only robbery and destruction. It is absolutely impossible that there is no survivor. The traces on the beaches were obviously deliberately misleading!

Seeing that his father's face showed a suspicious look, Romanus, who was worried, quickly said: "Maybe it was the Venetian mercenary, and the Venetians were only responsible for the response. In any case, Corfu has been captured by them, those guys

It's easy to attack."

"Hmph, if you hadn't transferred the island's garrison, how could Corfu fall into the hands of the Venetians?" Theodor looked at his son beside him and said in a slight silence. Since Corfu got it, Theodor has been

He used this as an outpost to threaten his brother Mikhail Ducas, but was lost again, so he naturally wanted to take his anger on his son Romanus who had indirectly caused all this before.

"I have given you such an important thing to monitor Molia, but you are still so incompetent." Prince Theodor looked at his son beside him with a look of regret and said:

"Tell me the truth, what happened in Athens, I have never let you use your army!"

"But my father, I am... and Athens City..." Romanus, who was eager to explain, was immediately interrupted by Prince Theodor's words.

"Be smart! If you weren't my descendants, I wouldn't have cleaned up these messes for you." Theodor had already expected the reason for what happened in Athens, but for the sake of the prince, he would not be like the one who always did.

His lip service to the common man bowed his head and could only make mistakes.

However, Prince Theodor obviously thought about all this a little bit too simple. Romanus, who was scolded so much that he couldn't raise his head, was looking at the steep cliff edge, while Prince Theodor was also a little anxious.

"The fleet sent out has been out of news for almost a day and a night... There is definitely a problem, what is going on on Corfu now!"

After receiving the news of the fall of Corfu, Theodor Ducas immediately mobilized the troops around Agrenion and the navy monitoring Patra to prepare for support, but when they arrived on the coast, they found a piece of coastline.

The scene of life after being robbed was tragic. This forced Prince Theodor to temporarily change his plan, leading the army to investigate along the shallows, and the navy followed the traces of the attackers along the current - they were the most trusted by Theodor Ducas

The army was also Epirus's only naval force. It was through them Theodor that he could use Agrenion to fight against Mikhail, the brother who had most of Epirus.

But a whole day had passed, and he could not find any clues in the ruins along the coast, and the fleet that left was still missing, which made Prince Theodor become impatient.

"Maybe it was delayed on the way, maybe they will come back tomorrow. By the way, father, I heard that you chose a husband for your sister. I wonder if it is true?"

Yan's Romanus held his palm nervously and suddenly asked a strange question.

After hearing this, Prince Theodor frowned and replied unhappily: "Who told you?"

"This..." Seeing that his father's attitude had changed so much, Romanus was stunned at first and then suddenly felt a slump in his heart.

But Prince Theodor did not realize that the subtle changes in his son's heart were still the usual reprimanding: "Is it your mother secretly telling you again? How many times have I said it, what shouldn't be asked about?

Don't interfere. This is not something you should care about! You are always so uneasy in your work, Romanus, how can you reassure me to hand over important things to you!"

"But father, as the elder brother, my heir, can't you even ask about this?" The son who was suddenly silent roared and interrupted the stern reprimanding from his father, which made the father who was used to treating his son severely in the past also

I was stunned.

"Aren't I your only son? As your heir, can't you have the right to know this? Or do you really have decided to let Elena be your successor!" It was like the emotions accumulated over the years were vented, and the resentment had been accumulated.

Romanus, who had been long-lasting, asked at his father.

Seeing his son's crazy look, Theodor was also a little uneasy, "What are you talking about?"

"Of course I'm not talking crazy. Father, I've known your thoughts for a long time. Did you choose John, who split Merisonno or Nicholas, who split Brunius, to be my dear sister Elena

What about my right arm! It is also so that I, the evil seed, can give up completely! My father, no, to be precise, should be my uncle!" Looking at Theodor, hysterical Romanus Ducas said every word,

His eyes became colder, and when he told the secret that Theodor thought had been hidden for many years, the cold and cruel atmosphere was pushed to the top.

Prince Theodor, who looked at his son's appearance, realized that the situation had changed drastically, subconsciously pulled the horse back a few steps.

Staring at him and murmured, "How could you know these?" Looking at his "son", a strange fear arose in the heart of Theodor, and when he looked around, he realized,

He said that there was no guard on the edge of the cliff. Because he wanted to investigate the burned village on the coast, Theodor sent his guards out. At this time, except for the

There was no third person present outside his son Romanus.
