"Mr. Fendel, I think it's just this kind of thing that shouldn't require you to get angry like this!"

Just when several Romanian nobles were at a loss and were embarrassed by the fierce questioning of the opposite side, an unexpected voice suddenly sounded, cold and majestic.

The air seemed to condense at this moment, and everyone gasped. The Latin army around also consciously dispersed to both sides and gave way, and people's eyes gathered on one person. The old man from Venice also turned around and looked at the man who was walking and laughed:

"You are finally here, His Majesty Henry."

The visitor was Henry of Flander, the current emperor of the Latin Empire, the lord of Constantinople, surrounded by majestic ceremonies and surrounded by servants. At this moment, it seemed that he was really the same as the Roman emperor.

Unfortunately, all this is more like a monkey-like crown in the eyes of the Venetians, because the Romania established by the Flanders family is an empire on the surface, but it is weak and has nothing to do with Thrace around Constantinople. The foundation in it is that although the crusad countries of Macedonia are nominally loyal to them, they are actually uncontrollable. If Venice had not been secretly supported by Constantinople, in Constantinople, which was looked around by the enemies, no matter how capable Henry was, he would not be able to deal with the endless Greek riots. Therefore, although Baron Fendel was only the ambassador sent by Venice, he was not intimidated by the power of Emperor Henry. On the contrary, the old man's face was full of arrogant expressions.

"If I'm not mistaken, dear Emperor, since you are here in person, maybe you can give me a satisfactory explanation!" The old man who smiled and asked with a sarcastic sarcasm, and the meaning implicit in his voice was also very explicit. Obviously, if there was no sufficient compensation, Venice would never give up.

However, Emperor Henry seemed calm and looked at the messy scene in the Venetian Concession with his eyes, but refused coldly: "Sadly, this is impossible. According to the agreement I reached with Lord Dandoro before, this place is now under the jurisdiction of Venice. The Venetians do enjoy judicial immunity, tax exemption, and settlement rights, but it also means that our country has no obligation or power to interfere with everything that happened. Therefore, Romania is not responsible for anything that happened here."

"What did you say?!"

The Venetian messenger who was rejected directly must be furious. He did not expect that the other party would be so tough, but the bad-looking Frank nobles around him were eager to stand in front of Baron Fender, which made him, who was originally arrogant, feel a little afraid. The eyes fell on Emperor Henry himself again, and the natural emperor spirit also further verified the speculations of Venice. Romania, who had won a great victory on the Eastern battlefield, now obviously has the desire to break free from Venice's control. Henry himself was not satisfied with being a crusader pseudo-king who was separating the side, but attempted to ascend to the throne of the true Roman emperor.

But this is undoubtedly inconsistent with Venetian interests. Once Henry's Romania completes the integration of the remnants of the Byzantine Empire, it is almost foreseeable that the two countries turn aside.

The Zasorkins Islands, Crete, Kevlinia and Isaki Island are the important maritime strongholds that are scattered on the sea, which are all the essence of Constantinople's capture after the capture of Constantinople. Anyone understands that it is imperative to reopen the trade routes on the sea if they want Constantinople to restore their original prosperity.

At this moment, Romania did not hide their intentions at all. Baron Fendel, whose face changed slightly, could only break his teeth and swallow it. After all, the reason for the other party's previous quotation was indeed true. But he did not care about these things, but Constantinople's attitude towards Venice - and now everything is obvious. Flander's Henry is obviously not a member of his brother Baldwin I, and such an opponent is very difficult to deal with at first glance.

"Let's go!" He didn't dare to stay any longer, so he could only look unhappy and had to leave with his sleeves. The old Venetian man turned around and left the scene in shame with his subordinates.

Seeing these people completely disappear from sight, the Latin nobles who had been timid before gave a big breath, and at the same time, the depression in their hearts was also thought that their Majesty's toughness had been eliminated a lot.

But there are still many people who are worried. After all, the empire can support its rule now is still the financial backer of Venice.

"His Majesty Henry, do you think it's a bit...inappropriate if you are so tough?"

But Emperor Henry, who was standing by, shook his head calmly and asked, "What if it is? You can only be tough on those greedy people, otherwise it will only give those guys the chance to continue to suck bones and marrow."

Seeing their emperor answered, the other nobles remained silent for a moment. Since going to Nicea, Henry's attitude towards the Venetians has changed more and more. From the rumors, people seem to know the trick - that is, the Venetians have been secretly sponsoring Nicea on the other side of the strait to use this to restrain the development of the empire.

If this is true, it is undoubtedly too disheartening - but if it really turns against the Venetians, many people are still a little worried.

But just as many people were still worried about cleaning up the mess here in Venice, what Emperor Henry said next made everyone present look extremely surprised.

"The spy I sent out not long ago has returned from Thessalonika. And he brought a piece of news that all of us might not believe—"

What news? The Latin nobles who were always afraid of this huge threat on the back couldn't help but squint, their ears closed, and their mouths calmed down.

And Emperor Henry slowly and solemnly announced:

"Our mortal enemy, the ruler of Bulgaria, Tsar Karoyan Assen was assassinated in his camp not long ago. Now the Bulgarians who had originally besieged Thessalonika retreated from Macedonia because they had no heads. If I was not wrong, soon, Bulgaria will fall into an endless civil war, and will never threaten us again."
