Chapter 41 The Betrayer

"Can you agree to this old man's last request to you?" Anastasius asked in a helpless and heavy voice. Of course he understood the intentions of these Morian nobles, and he also felt more and more the decay and collapse of the empire.

Despite the bad situation, people are still scheming and stupid, but for the sake of the remaining hope of the empire, he can only choose to compromise.

"Don't dare. How dare we be disrespectful to you, Your Excellency? Since you have already mentioned this, of course we dare not object to anything." Duke Leo still looked respectful on the surface, but since the purpose

It has been achieved, and of course other nobles have no reason to object.

"Very good then." Archduke Anastasius nodded and motioned to the servant beside him to push his wheelchair away. The turbid air here made the old man not want to stay any longer.

Seeing the departure of Archduke Anastasius, the other nobles also felt desolate. After all, what they had done just now was undoubtedly to break up with the respected old man. In any case, the Latins invaded before.

At that time, everything Anastasius did had won the respect of many people, and now the nobles of Moria feel somewhat apologetic.

"Is this really okay, Your Excellency Leo?" A nobleman looked at the Duke of Corinth beside him with some uneasiness. After all, some of them had actually thought of asking Tripolis for help.

However, Leosgros looked at the other party coldly and asked without the usual calmness: "Huh, if something happens and Justinian abandons us, can we bear the consequences?

"

"This——" The nobleman was suddenly speechless when asked in this way.

Leosgros' words expressed the sentiments of many people. They were indeed at odds with the Venetians, but not everyone was willing to live in pieces rather than live in ruins.

There is a way out, and these nobles cannot remain indifferent.

The same is true for Leosgros, although he had thought of forming an alliance with Justinian before, and for this reason he refused the negotiations of the Lascaris family, which resulted in the Venetians coming. How could he sit back and watch Justin now?

The Ni left Fort Viscari calmly, otherwise they would lose all their bargaining chips in negotiations with the Venetians.

"Then what should we do next, Mr. Sgrouse? Do we really want to-" Countess Agnes on the other side looked a little solemn. This woman's position was consistent with Duke Leo's, but no one dared

The matter of handing Justinian over to the Venetians was made public, because such an act would be a shameful act at any time and anywhere.

But Leosgros said calmly: "Don't worry about this. As the Despot said just now, it is completely okay to let Justinian's cronies go to Tripolis for help. If that doesn't work anymore,

It is not impossible to consider the Venetian ultimatum." Man's

The words were so calm and indifferent that everyone present could not help but be speechless. However, they could not find anything to blame, because in fact all the nobles present had already known about the Venetian ultimatum and they fiercely opposed Anastasius.

Grand Duke Si’s proposal, in a sense, they are all conspirators.

For a moment, the temperature in the official hall seemed to drop to freezing point, and the whole place fell into silence again.

I don't know how long it took, but the morning's discussion ended. The noon bell in the city rang immediately, and it was time to leave. I saw nobles one after another resigning, and not long after, the hall became cold again.

It was deserted and deserted except for two people.

Leosgros was still sitting in the hall. The guards here had also been dismissed by him not long ago, and Countess Agnes was still here. The two looked at each other in silence for a long time.

Speaking, the beautiful Lady Agnes finally broke the deadlock.

"Sir Leo, you just asked me to stay alone and have something to say to me. What is it that requires this?" As a widowed woman, although Mrs. Agnes is a beauty among men, she has always cared about it.

Her own reputation. She was both confused and displeased with Duke Leo's behavior.

However, what Duke Leo said next made Lady Agnes's beautiful face suddenly turn pale.

"Mrs. Agnes, I think you have roughly understood the situation just now. It seems that the Venetian ultimatum was leaked by someone, which finally made Justinian a little restless. But fortunately, he is so cunning.

The little trick still didn’t work. Since we all have a common enemy, we can put aside our past grudges together, right?”

But just a moment later, Mrs. Agnes immediately returned to her normal appearance, pretending to be calm and asked: "What do you mean, I don't understand. Mr. Leo, are you talking to me?"

Despite this, Mrs. Agnes's brief moment of gaffe was still caught by Leosgross, and this man finally had enough confidence. Just listen to him speaking lightly, but every word

They all fell like thunder in Agnes' ears.

"Those Assassin assassins are all at my place now. I think you should be familiar with them after having sheltered them for such a long time!"

Looking at each other, Leosgros showed a proud expression. This is why the assassins hid and could not be found after the Watergate attacked the guards. The mansion of the small nobleman can withstand the pressure and search for the time being, but like him

It's not that easy for hereditary nobles of Lady Agnes's level.

"But I really didn't expect that a beauty like you would have this side. If it weren't for those Saracens, I probably wouldn't have thought that you would have already been loyal to Laskaris!" Leosgross

He said in an appreciative tone.

On the other side, the woman whose face had turned gloomy finally stopped hiding anything and said coldly: "As long as you are allowed to manipulate the camp, won't I do whatever it takes for the sake of the family?" I knew that the other party had the evidence, but Egger

Mrs. Nice still heard the implication of what Leosgros said just now, so this and that woman

People directly admitted all this. She had indeed been loyal to Lascaris of Nicaea and acted as an internal agent for the Venetians to attack Fort Viscari. All of this was naturally the rise and fall of the family, and now it has been exposed
