"Are you ready?" Walking on the road paved with bluestones, the Genoese girl tilted her head and glanced at the man beside her, and asked angrily.

And Justinian shrugged, putting on a relaxed look, "Even if we are not ready, your brother with a bad character will not be ready to let us go!" Since that meeting on the Golden Horn,

Later, he did not like the noble son of the Doria family.

"Humph, you speak ill of my elder brother behind your back, and your character is really bad." Antonia rolled her eyes at Justinian's amusement, but her face was immediately covered with a layer of sadness.

Suddenly he stopped and said seriously: "Justinian, if I will definitely be taken back this time, I hope you can promise me something, can you?"

"What's going on?" Justinian stamped his feet and turned to look at Antonia.

The girl opened her red lips lightly and whispered an astonishing request: "Help me destroy the Doria family, just like they destroyed the lives of my mother, me and my brother."

Antonia said these words calmly, and the glint in her eyes was calm, but in the blink of an eye, what Justinian said was a major event that could shock others. Notes

The Doria family is definitely a big force in the city-state of Genoa. To uproot it, a big country must take action. The current power of Justinian is far from enough. Even the Roman Empire that has not been dismembered will find it difficult to remove it.

The country is far away. But what is even more incredible is that Antonia who made this request is a member of the Doria family. It is obvious that the girl hates her family very much, even if her body has the same blood as hers.

.

Although he had known the identity of Antonia's illegitimate daughter in the past and knew a little about the reasons, Justinian was still shocked by the girl's plea in front of him. He originally thought that the conflict was caused after Antonia was forced to marry, but apparently things happened

It didn't seem that simple. Justinian did not directly agree to the other party's request, but asked: "Your brother? I thought you always hated him."

"I have never hated my brother, I only hate myself for not being able to share the pain and torture earlier." Antonia looked up at the tower in front of her, recalling every bit of her childhood.

Justinian also seemed to be saying to another person, "You must know that the nobles of Genoa are like giant beasts, power is their sharp teeth, chewing the pride of those who are aliens, wealth is their mouthpiece, and they will resist all

The perseverance of the invaders softened and reshaped them to facilitate their feasting. I failed to save my mother and Andrea, and now I will be swallowed by them. Justinian, if possible, can you help me save these monsters?

Cut off the head?"

"Solve your own troubles by yourself, girl! Before the dust settles, please don't imitate the people in the bards who are so upright and awe-inspiring, okay?" A fist landed on the top of Antonia's head, holding her head.

What the girl then heard was Justinian's impatient voice, "If you really want to chop down some messy beast, it's easier to do it yourself, and your brother might not have been digested yet! Don't do it to yourself first.

Discouraged. This is not the man who said those words to me in Constantinople."

"Those words?" The girl covering her head was slightly stunned, and her thoughts seemed to have returned to three years ago.

I hope that when we meet again, we will all have the power to control our own destiny.

"Do you remember? I have never forgotten." Justinian said softly, and Antonia also remembered the words she said at the beginning, which were also the promises she made to herself after she got rid of the shackles. The girl with mixed feelings wanted to speak.

After a while, the two old friends under the white tower smiled at each other knowing each other.

At this time, outside the White Tower, a group of people came out. It seemed that someone had already come out to greet them.

The Genoese guards stood upright and stood apart on both sides. The leader who stepped forward to greet the two people who arrived was Charles, the steward of the Doria family. The man who was waiting beside Antonia in Constantinople was

It was this man, and the other party had previously planned an unsuccessful assassination of Justinian in Epirus. When the two met, both Justinian and he had a bad temper with each other.

Justinian and Antonia walked into the White Tower together, but just as they were about to step forward, Steward Charles stopped them.

"Miss Antonia, the young master is only meeting His Excellency Justinian alone. You must return to the ship with us first."

Obviously, the Doria family was now ready to take away the girl beside Justinian, but Justinian's outstretched arm blocked them.

"Your Excellency Justinian, what do you mean by this? This is an internal matter of the Doria family, and you should not interfere." Looking at the man who blocked him, Manager Charles had anger in his eyes.

"Of course I can. Miss Antonia is my ally. If someone from the Doria family meets with me, I will not approve it without her presence." Justinian rejected the other party's request without any subtlety, completely

He didn't take the Doria family in front of him seriously.

"Hmph, I'm afraid it's not your decision." Steward Charles snorted coldly, looked at Justinian's unarmed belt, and then motioned to the guards around him to step forward.

"Do it!"

Obviously the Doria family directly ignored Justinian's warning, but the two Genoese sergeants had just taken a step forward when they heard the sound of whizzing through the air, and swift arrows shot from behind Justinian, hitting two of them in the middle.

The soldiers were so frightened that they subconsciously dodged and staggered, falling to the ground.

"The land of Rome is under my feet. It's you people who really don't want to be arrogant. I hope you don't need to remind me next time." After waving his hand behind him, Justinian said nothing more.

The Genoese looked nervously towards the direction where the bow and arrow came from, and saw that there was a crowded downtown area. It seemed that the sniper shooter was hiding in it, and no one dared to move again.

At this time, the attendant who rushed through the door promptly solved the deadlock at the scene, "Sir Justinian, Master Andrea invites you to come in for a talk, and please condescend to accompany me. In addition, Miss Antonia also

We can come together. Charles is in charge, please wait outside as well as the others."

"But -" Seeing the attendant bringing such an order, the steward's expression changed and he wanted to say something else, but the cold look on his face caught his eye and he finally swallowed the words in his throat.

"Yes, I will obey Master Andrea's instructions."
