Chapter 17 The Twins
At dawn, the sunlight from the Golden Horn Bay also made the originally sleepy earth seem to be awakened, while the tall buildings lined up still blocked the light illuminating the darkness in the depths.
There are very few people on the streets, and the misty fog also gives people an unreal feeling.
Andrea looked up at the still dead sky, and looked at Andrea who had not slept all night at dawn, and did not feel sleepy.
"What a magical country!" Andrea walked through the thick and dilapidated stone walls and experienced thousands of years of vicissitudes. From Byzantium in the classical era to Constantinople today, every building is not
It was built in the same era, but it seemed to tell people the glory of their era.
Since he came to this city, he liked to walk on the stone brick road like this, enjoying peace alone. Perhaps it was because he stayed in the restless Genoa for a long time, which made him even more like this classical empire.
The city is worthy of being the queen of all cities. Although the Pope Roman city still retains the glory of the Roman imperial era, it is no longer the Rome of the time.
Andrea walked across a small bridge, which was the junction of the central city of Constantinople and the Genoese settlement, although there was also a concession established here by the Genoese in the pre-Imperial period when they reached an agreement with the Greeks.
However, in name, it is still the rule of the Latin Empire and has not been recognized by the so-called Romanian emperor.
The history of this city has been a long time, at least for hundreds of years. The Italian style here is incompatible with Constantinople. The strange national culture exudes a strong Western color. The towering Catholic church is located here
Although the Latin massacre was affected by the Greeks during the Crusades, it was still prosperous.
Not far away, there is only one street apart, and in another city, the golden flag of San Marco is flying in the air, which is the settlement area of Venice in Constantinople. This is the arrangement made by the Latin Empire not long ago
, obviously a silent protest against Genoa's previous cooperation with Mikhail of Epirus. But Andrea was not worried. As long as they continued to live in the mansions placed by each other, Constantinople would not act rashly.
Then, then
Since the accident on Golden Horn, Andrea, who did not bring his sister back, was asked to stay in Constantinople as Genoa's ambassador to the Latin Empire. This seems to be a great honor on the surface, but
But Andrea knew that this was the biggest punishment the person above had done for his dissatisfaction. He was far away from Genoa City and had nothing here. If he had been refrigerated like this, it would not take long for Andrea to completely stay away from power.
The center of
Back to his residence, Andrea stopped.
As soon as he walked into the gate, Andrea realized something was wrong, because there was no guard at the iron railing gate in front of his embassy, and the door was also covered in a false sense. Such an abnormal scene made Andrea put his hand uneasy
When he arrived at the hilt of the sword hidden under the coat, although he realized the abnormality, Anthony did not notice the danger, so he walked in alone. Looking at the strange solemn scene in the garden, and the genius was just dawning.
Both the office and the security department were empty. Andrea walked to the spiral stairs and looked up at the second floor. It was the office location of the Genoa envoy. In addition to him, there should be those talents under his command, but now
But they were gone at all.
The moment Andrea's leather boots stepped onto the steps, a cold and sharp sword was placed next to his neck from behind. As long as he dared to act rashly, blood would splatter on the spot.
"You are still not as sensitive to the surrounding environment as you are, Andrea. The first thing you need to do when you find an abnormality is to escape from any potential threats, which is what you have told you since you were a child."
A cold voice came, and an elegant old man slowly walked out of the room in a bathrobe.
"It's you, uncle."
Looking at the old man in front of him, Andrea seemed very calm. To be precise, he had been waiting for the other party all the time, because Andrea knew that this man would never give up on himself, after all, "Doria's family
Never do business at a loss.”
Constellia nodded at her nephew in front of her and said with a little praise: "It seems that you have been waiting for me for a long time."
As soon as the old man finished speaking, dozens of attendants in the same gray coat surrounded Anthony.
Antonia swept through the corner of her eyes for a week and saw the appearance of their uniforms, and said with a little hesitation: "Is this the family sent?" Although he had never seen this military uniform, Dorry was on their clothes.
There is no mistake in the unique family emblem of the Asian family, but what is the purpose of such a battle? Is it possible to provoke a sect to oneself?
Behind him, the long sword that had been standing on Andrea's neck was removed, and the man behind him walked to Andrea's face and revealed his real face. Unexpectedly, Andrea saw the picture.
The face and his clothes were a little shocked.
"Fernan?!" From just now to now, the one who pointed at him with his sword was his most trusted assistant, and he went to Constantinople, who was also the messenger of Genoa with him.
"Sorry, Andrea." Fernan looked at Andrea with a little guilty look, stopped talking, and retreated into the crowd. This reply was enough for Andrea.
Obviously, he was actually loyal to the Doria family. He was very familiar with this kind of thing. He was unwilling to go through fire and water for his own status in the Doria family. This nouveau riche Baron Fernan was originally
Everyone underestimated him, but in fact he had already defected to Constantoria's disciple very early.
"In the past two months, your every move is in my control. Do you know that your behavior will be despised by everyone in the family, Andrea?" Constance asked, in the eyes of the gray-haired old man.
It is full of lion-like aspiration, which makes people frightened.
If ordinary people suffer such pressure, they are afraid that any secrets in their hearts will be revealed, but in the face of such questions, Andrea seemed very calm.
"My uncle, I have always adhered to your teachings to me. I think that as a Doria, even if it is not worthy of respect from others, it will not let the family be shamed. Please make it clear to me."
At the moment, Andrea's voice was as peaceful as usual, which made Baron Fernan, who was watching all this, sweat a coldly on his forehead - betrayal of the family, this crime was enough to crush any Doria family's children to pieces. This person
The powerful Lord Constance traveled thousands of miles to secretly arrive here, not just for a simple matter.
But, however, Andrea, surrounded by a crowd, had no panic at all, appeared on that perfect face.
One old and one young, the two Doria looked at each other silently, but after a while, it seemed that a long time had passed. Knowing that Constance had put on the cloak sent by his servant, this broke the silence between the two sides.
Seeing that he waved his hand and left, the guards surrounding Andrea asked them to leave. Only the uncle, son and nephew were left in the room.
After taking a deep look at Andrea, Constance suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and smiled self-deprecatingly: "Maybe I am really old, I can't see through you Gemini now.
