Chapter 7 The Queen's Order
Looking at the kite made by Justinian, Odosia blamed her helplessly: "It's obvious that you are so busy, why should you spend so much effort on a child!"
"It's just a simple task, and there's no point in mind." Justinian waved his hand and smiled casually, not caring, and he did take the kite by himself.
But at this moment, Odosia withdrew her gaze on her daughter and looked at him with a serious look, "Then you should have something else to tell me today, right? When will you hide the matters in the north? Justinian?"
He had already expected to be asked like this, and Justinian had already been mentally prepared, but he did not answer, but chose to remain silent. In fact, he did not want to tell the woman in front of him directly to make her feel more worried.
"Rusnina, it seems like another fierce battle, right?" As the princess, Odosia is not ignorant of this. Although Justinian deliberately concealed it, the atmosphere of Tripolis in the past few days has already made her guess the reason.
Looking at this woman with such a keen eye, Justinian nodded helplessly and admitted, "I can't hide it from you at all, Your Highness Princess! But I didn't mean to hide it from you. It's because there are too many things to deal with in the past few days. I only barely took the time to come over today. In fact, this is what I want to say."
"If I hadn't sent someone to invite you over, I'm afraid you would have left without saying goodbye as before." Odosia also turned her eyes at Justinian angrily and said.
"How dare I do this!" Justinian, who was smiling bitterly, turned his head and stuck out his tongue. However, in fact, he was really prepared in his heart before. At this moment, he was caught by Odosia, which made him feel a little embarrassed.
The princess sitting on the stone stool was looking at her daughter who was happily flying the kite, and said slowly in an extremely calm tone: "Actually, I asked you to come here today because I wanted something to ask you. Can you promise me, Justinian?"
Seeing that Odosia was so serious, it was obvious that the other party had something to entrust her to him. At this moment, Justinian also changed his expression to a solemn expression and said:
"Of course there is no problem, Your Highness Princess. I will do my best to your request and will not hesitate to do my best!"
"If you can, this time you go to Rusnina and take me and Odosia with you."
"What?" Justinian, who was surprised, obviously did not expect that the princess in front of him would make such a request. She suddenly looked embarrassed. After hesitating, she still gritted her teeth and did not agree to her request.
"This is too dangerous. Your Highness Princess, for your safety and safety, I will not obey you."
You should know that this expedition is unusual. Justinian himself was not sure about the threat from the Latins and the ulterior motives of Rusnina, the co-governor emperor with ulterior motives. If he brought Odosia and his daughter, he could not guarantee that he could protect them.
But the princess who stood up and walked forward stared at Justinian with her clear eyes, "I know that your concerns are nothing more than worrying about the safety of Helena and me, but you don't have to worry about me - except for the nobles of Molia, there are only a handful of people who know me in Epirus, and few people can recognize me as long as they disguise themselves, no one can notice it. On the contrary, if you go to Rusnina, will Mikhail Ducas secretly use any means to deal with you? "Odosia has already considered this point, and of course she will not make Justinian embarrassed. And this time she also has a purpose that must stick to her companionship.
Seeing the woman in front of him so persistent, Justinian felt helpless but still tried to persuade: "But I am really worried about your body on the way, Your Highness, and if you stay here, I can be at ease to recuperate." Due to the fragments of the Ark of the Covenant, the body of the princess in front of him has been greatly affected. He really does not want to let the long journey crush this weak mother.
But Odosia still did not compromise. She seemed weak but was never a person who would choose to compromise. Justinian knew it when she first met her.
"I understand that you are for the sake of Helena and me, but since I have embarked on this path, the moment I choose to shoulder what I should bear, it means that I cannot accept the protection of you or others forever... You were so willful before, but this time I would let me force you once!" There was calmness in my eyes. At this moment, Odosia was no longer a mother who only wanted to protect her children but became the princess of the real empire. Her words seemed to be natural and inconsistent, which made Justinian, who was looking at her, even a sudden feeling, and she came to her senses until she saw those bright pupils. This was probably the demeanor of the real purple nobleman that was nurtured by the royal family, or it was not at all, but simply the unique glory of this woman's soul. It was just that she was attracted by it and won the true respect in his heart.
Knowing that his ambition was undefeated, he finally chose to give up. Although he was helpless at this moment, Justinian still chose to compromise, which was the rare compromise action made by the little fox Molia.
"Okay, I promise you, Your Highness, Princess."
There was a complex emotion in his eyes, and Justinian didn't know whether his choice was right or wrong. It was the words he said that night that awakened the woman who had lost hope and only wanted to spend her life in vain, which made them attract each other and achieve each other. However, although the princess had regained her original intention, she would also face all the difficulties she had to face next. Is it too cruel for a mother? Even if he had the fragment of the ark that could predict good and bad luck, he was not sure and could only listen to God's arrangements.

And here, Molia was still preparing for the future war. At this moment, in the city of Rusnina, in an extremely deep monastery, a man in purple robe sat alone on a chair, facing another man calmly, and the other party was no one else, the current ruler of Epirus, Mikhail Ducas, who declared to be the emperor of the Roman Empire.
