"Calm down, everyone! I have already made up my mind on your opinions, but even as an emperor, I don't want to be biased in any way. Maybe after listening to what our friends from Venice have to say, there will be a lot of harmony in my court.

.Before that, I think you should put aside your disputes and worry about the dignity of the empire.

"Mikhail Dukas looked down at the ministers under the throne, and finally the palace became quiet. After all, this was the emperor's order, and the two groups of nobles who were arguing just now finally ended their quarrels and questions.

Under the guidance of the imperial messenger, the Venetian envoy, who had been waiting for a long time, slowly walked to the center of the palace.

The envoy wearing a long hat and dark green long-fitting clothes saluted Emperor Mikhail in front of him and said: "I am Amor of the Venier family. On behalf of the Republic, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Epirus."

The King of China extends his most sincere greetings and thanks you for receiving me here."

"No one cares what your name is. Tell us what tricks your master wants to play by sending you here?" Looking at the Venetian coldly, the Pulogna military nobles did not have any good impression of them, even before

Emperor Mikhail emphasized in particular that they did not hide their hostility at all. After all, it was they who usurped Constantinople with the Latins in their ships. These Pulonians had to live in this remote area. They could

Holding back from drawing your sword is already restraining yourself.

Mikhail frowned slightly. He didn't like to ruin the atmosphere at this time, but he also understood why his vassals reacted so fiercely. In fact, he also had his own reasons. In order to change the topic, the emperor looked at the people in front of him.

The envoy from Venice said pleasantly: "You're welcome, envoy from your country, thank you for releasing your goodwill to the empire. I hope that we can resolve previous misunderstandings and conflicts in our cooperation in the future."

Looking at the hostile looks of the Greek nobles in front of him, Amor of Venice did not take it seriously. The purpose of his trip was to bear the mission entrusted to him by his motherland, so the Venetian envoy also gave him enough support.

Disrespectful Epirus Greeks.

"I believe that will be the case. Your Majesty, thank you for your tolerance and generosity. The reasons for my coming here must be well known to everyone present. I don't think there is any need to elaborate on the previous scenes. I will say it bluntly. The Republic is here.

The purpose of sending me here is for matters in the Peloponnesus."

"The Peloponnese is the territory of the empire. When will it be your turn for foreigners to dictate?" When Venier's Amor mentioned the southern military region, the sensitive civil servants and nobles could not sit still.

, immediately interrupted the other party.

"Ahem, Russell, let our guest finish his sentence." Emperor Mikhail, who had a headache, stopped the ministers from continuing to question him. He did not want to break up on bad terms after just contacting the Venetians.

Seeing this, the Venetians simply pretended not to have heard anything and continued: "Corfu Island and Modon Fortress are commercial ports leased by the Republic from your country. This is written in black and white on the golden seal of His Majesty Alexius III. However, the deadline

Before arriving, your country's Governor Moria suddenly attacked, causing our country losses.

Two merchant fleets and uncountable property losses were lost. Under the autocratic rule of the so-called little fox of Moria, the trading privileges of the Venetians in the entire Peloponnese and even other states such as Pisa were also deprived.

Therefore, I came here hoping that your respected Majesty can give us an explanation."

Amorvenir's understatement instantly ignited the palace hall. The nobles of Epirus, who were already angry at heart, both the eastward and southward factions, now put aside their own opinions and unanimously spoke to the outside world.

"Presumptuous, how rude? Venetian! Where do you think this is?"

"Are you here to negotiate? It's just like asking for help. Your Majesty, please expel him from our land immediately!"

"Yes, throw him into the sea. The Venetians are not worthy of setting foot on our soil."

The passionate nobles were about to lose control, but at this moment, the voice of Mikhail Dukas resounded throughout the court.

"Silence——! Your Excellency Russell, Your Excellency Eto'o? I think you are a little too excited. Maybe you are not suitable to stay here and let our guests laugh."

Mikhail looked at the two nobles who shouted the loudest among the two factions of nobles, and then the guards behind him went up to "friendly" invite them out.

The king's angry voice made everyone tremble in their hearts. Only then did the nobles below realize their gaffe? Seeing the emperor's attitude? Even if the nobles of Epirus were dissatisfied, they could only sit back and sit for a while.

Although he still looked at this extremely rude Venetian envoy with hostility, he was more afraid of the attitude of the emperor in front of him - because it was obvious that from the beginning, his Majesty seemed to intend to protect this Venetian envoy.

.

Seeing that it finally calmed down? Mikhail Dukas immediately returned his eyes to Amorvenir in front of him. He had already known that the Venetians would come to put forward conditions? But the envoy in front of him unexpectedly came early

Saying it out loud made him a little angry. However, it was better to put some things out in the open and resolve them early.

The emperor pretended to ponder, and after thinking for a moment, he replied: "Your country's request is not excessive, but this fact is beyond my control."

"Oh, is it possible that His Majesty, even as the Emperor of Rome, cannot decide on matters?" Amor raised his eyebrows slightly.

There was a sad look on the emperor's face, "In these troubled times, the rebels in the south are worried about them. Although I have worked hard and tried my best, I can only manage to support it. The previous Corfu Island and Modon Fortress were both occupied by the rebels, which is not what I wanted. If I can

Fortunately, the rebellion was put down and you didn't say anything. I will return the two lands to bring good relations between the two countries."

"As your Majesty really said," Venier also pretended to be pondering just like Emperor Mikhail just now. He pretended to think and then suddenly bowed down and proposed: "Then forgive me for overstepping and ask you to accept the friendship of the Republic.

We are willing to send troops to the Association

Help Your Majesty to fight against your enemies and defend your imperial power on the territory of Rome. As long as you say a word, the fleet of the Venier family on the Western Sea has been ready to fight for you and swept across your territory in Boro.

The rebels on Pennesus, while

The navy of the Zandandolo family has also set out from Crete to assist you in regaining Thessaloniki. In this way, I think, Your Majesty Mikhail, you will not have to worry about how to use troops to quell the rebellion, and all of you here will

The ministers must also be satisfied

I want such a result." At this time, the Venetian envoy simply stopped pretending and said frankly that from the beginning, he had been focusing on the current focus of controversy among the nobles in Emperor Mikhail's court.

Clearly.

As soon as he said this, Emperor Mikhail stepped forward and helped Amorvenir in front of him. "God is merciful. Your words are like gospel. If your country really deserves this, I will do my best to express my gratitude."

The two countries are so good. Mr. Venier, it is a great joy to get the help of you and your country." The purple-clothed emperor kissed the Venetian envoy in front of him on the cheek, and this scene fell on the nobles under the palace.

In the eyes it is like

This was embarrassing. But this time, no one spoke out to object, because it was obvious that the initiator of the Venetian's visit was their emperor. As Amorvenir said, the olive branch he extended could indeed solve the problem.
