In the early morning in Agrignon, the morning light shone on the face of Irina who was still dreaming, and the girl who was already a woman woke up.

The air in the morning was particularly fresh. When I got up from the warm quilt, Irina realized that her clothes were not inches, especially her chest was chilly. The pair of green white peaches seemed to become mature and soft overnight. At this time, they were protesting against the chill of the morning. The girl subconsciously covered her chest and blushed. She saw that the silk bedclothes she had worn close to her body had been thrown away in the phoenix of last night. Looking back on the madness last night, the girl couldn't help but cover her hot face. Even if she could only recall the blurry details, Irina couldn't help but feel a little weak.

All this suddenly seemed like a dream. If I had not felt it personally, Irina would not be sure that she was no longer a childish virgin but had become someone else's wife.

Obviously, Irina Ducas had not fully adapted to this change of identity. She found a blanket on her body and looked around her, but saw that there was no one else in the room except her. Where did he go? Irina, who had not seen Justinian, felt a little disappointed, and reached over the bed beside her, and there was no warmth on it. A trace of loneliness flashed across the girl's face. Although she knew that they were each in the political marriage they needed, deep in her heart, she also longed for the tenderness of the couple she had longed for before.

At this moment, the bedroom door was suddenly knocked by someone outside.

"Madam, are you awake?" The maid's voice came from outside the door, "I'm in?"

"Wait a minute!" Irina didn't want outsiders to see her now. She hurried to search for the wardrobe in the room. Fortunately, there were several old dresses inside. After she was dressed, she asked the servant to come in.

"Okay, come in!" Irina said through the door.

As soon as he finished speaking, a row of servants pushing the food truck walked in in an orderly manner, and then a long-lost scent of food came to his nose, what a familiar smell for Irina.

"This is..." Looking at the scene in front of me, the girl was a little surprised.

The servants brought all the snacks Irina liked to eat before, from honey pudding to chestnuts and cheese, but she clearly remembered that the servants in front of her were just serving them temporarily, how could they know their taste?

The servants' words explained Irina's confusion, "It was His Highness Justinian who told us before leaving, so we should pay attention to the previous recipes in the kitchen. His Highness said that he had something to do and couldn't eat with his wife, so he ordered us to prepare your favorite snacks for her."

Several servants carefully served the exquisite snacks. Although they could not be authentic, they could only look at their shape. Irina could see that these people who prepared were very dedicated. They picked up a piece of pastry and put them in their mouths and took the first bite. Their teeth were full of fragrance, filled with the sweet and sour taste of orange fruit, and they still tasted the same as before. Irina swallowed the honey cake into her stomach as if she hadn't eaten for a long time. Then tears couldn't help but flow out.

This scene was silly and the servants serving the side were silly. They quickly knelt down, fearing that something was wrong with them.

"It's okay, I don't blame you. It's just that I can't control my emotions. Thank you for letting me eat such delicious food again." Irina said softly to them. Although these snacks reminded her of her deceased parents and her carefree life in the past, it was more of a trauma that was unspeakable in her heart. Although these servants in front of her, although they were born among rural farmers, compared to the old-fashioned servants in the past, Irina could feel the kindness that she had not had in the past. She knew that this was undoubtedly specially arranged by Justinian for her, and she felt sweet and warm at this moment.

After using up the snacks, Irina asked the maid who was packing the tableware: "Do you know what Justinian Temple... what my husband is going to do?" She clearly had to leave this morning, but she guessed that something must have happened.

However, these servants did not know any military and national affairs, and even if they heard it, they could not understand it. Only one or two servants told Irina Dukas who asked them what they had accidentally heard.

Soon, a vague outline of the answer was presented to her.

...The cavalry that appeared outside the city at dawn...

...Thessalian accent...

...The nobles who were rushing to ask for their meeting...

Irina alone had guessed what was going on. Although Agrignon's rebels had been suppressed and she and Justinian had already married, it was obviously not that easy to suppress the princes on all the hills.

...

...

...

At the same time, in the noble hall, as Irina guessed, the fierce quarrel between the nobles resounded through the roof. The unyielding attitude between them made the atmosphere suddenly become tense.

"What a moral character? Do you want to watch the mud legs step on your head?" Jie's unruly voice sarcastically stimulated the nerves of every noble.

"Please pay attention to your words, the Merinos would not have been so rude before." In the middle of the hall, Secretary-General Hendrielle coldly warned the other party.

This morning, he rushed to Agrenion with his troops. As soon as he arrived at his destination, the noble envoy from Thessaly showed a look of inciting a riot. He was commissioned by the Earl of Merinosen. Although Merinosen himself did not arrive, the letter to Hendriel and other nobles had already expressed his intentions.

Bononius, Taranit and Hendriel tried their best to appease the messengers coming, and at the same time avoided breaking up with Merinosen. When he went to fight against the rebellion, Earl Merinosen was left behind in the rear of Thessaly. Originally, the Venetians might have sneaked into the coastal areas, but when he learned that the rebels were suppressed, he was not happy. Instead, he appointed a representative of the messenger, obviously because the rebellious count learned that Prince Theodor's daughter Irina had inherited the throne of Prince of Princess Theodor and married Justinian to Molia.

Hendriel explained: "This is His Highness Irina's choice. We should send blessings as vassals, not unreasonable doubts. Earl Merinosen is too sensitive. If it weren't for His Highness Justinian, the crisis between Agrignon and Thessaly would not have subsided so quickly. The marriage itself was approved by most people."

If Hendriel was worried about Irina's marriage before, now he no longer had any concerns. He believed that Justinian deserved the highness and believed in the other party's character. On the other hand, Earl Merinosen, who was over forty, was obviously much more explicit. As early as when Larissa, this person showed his ambition. His so-called opposition was nothing more stupid and unwilling to accept it. Now that the situation has been done, the other party is still here to be aggressive. Hendriel understands that the other party is just to test their attitude.

This reply was obviously unacceptable to Merinoson's messenger, who was also a very high-ranking existence in the Merinoson family. He asked in anger:

"Hendriel, Prince Theodor is so kind to us. Are you worthy of this now? The Dukas family is a prominent family, how can they submit to a Woopman!"

"The king's career started with military power, and it is not uncommon for purple clothes from the army to be born. Even the ancestors of Earl Merinosen were also a big-headed soldier in their early years. I am very curious about what qualifications he has to point fingers at me." The door of the noble hall was pushed open suddenly, and it was no one else who walked into everyone's sight, but Justinian.

The little fox, who was joking and sarcastic, came calmly and calmly. He had heard everything that the messenger sent by Merinoth just now said. To be honest, Justinian was surprised that the reason why the irritable Count of the Count of Bastard opposed him was actually his so-called status. As expected, the country continued to be handed over to these people to manage, and there was no hope at all.

"You-!" The surprise messenger Merinoth subconsciously took two steps back. Although he was preparing a large eloquent discussion in his mind at the beginning, he was so scared that he was speechless by the invisible pressure from Justinian.

Stumbling, unable to squeeze out a word for a long time, the trembling messenger of the Merinosen family was about to speak when a loud slap sounded in the noble hall, and the person raising his hand was the noble confidant Faucas who was following Justinian.

"Being rude, since His Highness Justinian has married His Highness Irina, he is the ruler of Thessaly and Agrignon. Since Merinos and others are vassals under the prince, how dare they be rude in front of Justinian." Forcas had long disliked the other party. He hated these high-ranking faces the most, and he did not leave any affection in his hands, making the other party's eyes look like Venus.

"You-?" said the word "you". This time the Messenger Merinoth was filled with astonishment and shock. However, another slap made him dizzy, and his faces on both sides were also slapped into pig's heads.

The other nobles on the side couldn't stand it anymore and came forward to persuade him. Although they also thought that the Merinosen family was a bit extreme, the humiliation of Justinian was not good after all. You should know that the entire Thessaly is still in the hands of the other party, and the real intention of coming here this time was just to bargain and seek his own autonomy. In order to win over the other party, Justinian could make a compromise, and the conflict between the two sides could be exposed without any pain.

Unexpectedly, Justinian actually chose to do this and completely break up with the Merinosen family.

Seeing that the nobles were dissuading him, Salius led the heavily armored cavalry to the hall and blocked Justinian. With them, the private soldiers of the Merinos family who were bound and captured by many flowers were also in.

"Your Highness, these people are already sneaky and want to investigate the reality of the city. Now we have all arrested us to wait for the demise."

Salius said that Justinian had not appeared for a long time, but ordered him to search for the noble private soldiers of the Merinos family this morning.

Justinian nodded, then looked at the overwhelmed messenger and said, "I have given your entire family several opportunities before, but your count doesn't seem to appreciate it at all. It seems that I don't need to wear out patience on you."

"You...you are slander!" The messenger of Merinosen screamed and pointed at the other party, as if he had seen something terrifying, and there was no arrogance he had before.

Justinian was too lazy to pay attention to this, and he ordered: "Run these people immediately and send them to the gallows on the execution ground, and hang them in front of the whole city."

"No, Lord Justinian, if this happens, the Merinosen family will definitely rebel!" Hendriel and other nobles, who were frightened by Justinian's actions, rushed forward to dissuade him. Once the Merinosen family are killed, there is really no room for negotiation. No one is willing to fight another civil war. The nobles come forward to plead with mercy, and at the same time, they also make the frightened Merinosen messengers quickly surrender.

"Is that?" Justinian sneered instead, and said, "I'm happy to see this. If that guy really wanted to fight me for the lives of these dozens of stupid people, I would be very happy to let Merinosen get rid of the Empire from now on."

As soon as this was said, the nobles present couldn't help but be terrified. This was not a joke, nor was it a ruthless saying, because it was what Justinian said, and it could definitely be done. More nobles couldn't help but feel sad, and went forward to plead with mercy, and at the same time asked the people of the Merinoth family to beg for mercy.

...

In the corner beside, he looked at the farce in front of him calmly, but the two elders, Earl Taranit and Earl Buronius, did not make any statement from beginning to end.

"It's also thanks to the guy Hendriel who was so dedicated to acting."

"After all, he is the secretary-general of the old prince. Even if he is loyal to someone else, he will do everything he wants."

"It seems that our highness has a big appetite and is good enough to have his own skills. I have advised him so many times, but it still has a stubbornness."

"That was his own choice, and the Merinosen family was still as slow as ever, and as it has been for hundreds of years. They have not yet discovered that the times have changed, and our empire is about to usher in a ruler like a lion, and will never allow anyone to challenge authority again."
