Chapter 70 Hendryl's Worries

"Is this only plan possible? This is too hasty!" Merinosen, who was suppressed at the entire banquet, looked at Justinian and asked. Since he could no longer stop the current situation, he at least hoped not to be fooled by the other party. Although Justinian's request just now sounded quite a lot, the substantive content made him and other nobles confused.

"When the right time, I will naturally tell you everyone here. Schemes are like fruits, and they take time to brew before they can mature. By the way! Besides that, I have other things to ask you, Lord Merinoson." Justinian said calmly without caring about the other party's rolling eyes.

In front of everyone, Merinosen glanced at Irina Ducas who was also staring at him, and had to answer: "His Highness Irina is here, I will do my best to help Your Excellency Justinian. Say it! What can I help you?"

"It's very simple. I need someone to stay in Thesaly and firmly in the rear. This matter is just as important. Can you get my trust? Mr. Merinoson?" To everyone's surprise, Justinian did not arrange for his own people to stay in Larissa, but chose the Earl Merinoson who was the least against him. Now, even Merinoson, who was in a hot temper, could not help but be deeply surprised and did not know how to reply Justinian.

After a while, the man reacted and everyone was waiting for his answer. "Hmph, you don't need to trust this or not. I am only loyal to His Highness Irina, and of course I will not allow anyone else to touch Sesari." Although he was a little incompetent, unexpectedly, Justinian would put such an important task in his hands. Merinoson still did not hide his hostility to the young man in front of him, and the last sentence was obviously for Justinian to listen to it.

Justinian didn't care. He looked at the bland expressions of the nobles present and knew that the dinner was coming to an end.

"Three days later, I will send troops to Agrignon, but you two counts, Bononius and Taranit, will need to set off tomorrow." Justinian once again emphasized his plan, "I think there is enough today. Whether you are satisfied or not, the enemy troops heading south will no longer give us time to hesitate. I hope we can cooperate happily! Please continue to enjoy the food I have prepared for you, everyone."

After saying that, Justinian turned around and left. The servants quickly opened it for their new masters in the main entrance of the hall. After a day of work, Justinian felt that this was even more consuming than fighting a war.

...

Outside the hall, the nobles were buzzing because Justinian left. Although they had reached an alliance, the specific feeling made them all have no idea - whether this young man could really do what he said or just boasted without responsibility. Everyone had their own answer in their hearts, but they were a little nervous.

Even Hendriel, who supported Justinian, looked very ugly, and the culprits of all this were all caused by that man.

"Sergius, you, a madman, have to make trouble at this time! Didn't I write to you to take His Highness Irina to settle down first?" As soon as we met, the angry Hendriel grabbed the collar of the crazy monk with both hands. It was because he made a good decision and all the plans were disrupted.

But the monk broke free from Hendrielqing's hands without fear, and asked back with a sneer: "I just promised you to rescue the child."

"And Princess Ajelina!"

"I waited for three days and didn't wait for the support you sent. What else can I do? If the child's mother hadn't voluntarily sacrificed herself, I would have to put this in the city of Agrenion." The crazy monk pulled open his clothes and exposed scars all over his body, grinning and revealing a piece of broken teeth.

This made Hendriel feel a little guilty, "Sorry, I was a little impulsive. Where is Dmitry and the others?" Although he had guessed it, he still hoped to get Sergius' confirmation.

"You know everything, why should you ask again? Mr. Dmitry and Ms. Zoe are both very honorable people. Before leaving, they asked me to find their children who joined the army." Speaking of this, the crazy and unruly monk sighed.

Although he was mentally prepared, after learning the news, Hendrielqing felt a little nervous. He restrained his emotions and confirmed again: "Did you instigate the marriage matter?" A year ago, he looked at Irina's child who was still ignorant of the world, and today's performance was a bit clumsy, but he was clear enough that he would never believe that the child could do it himself. The only one who could instigate was Sergius, who escorted her here all the way.

The monk was not afraid of this and shrugged, "I did give a few tips on the road, but it was the child who made the final decision."

"But she is just a child! She still lost her parents' children, you shouldn't let her get involved in these things." Hendriel felt very guilty because he was unable to stop the plot from happening. Irina was the only bloodline of Prince Theodor and Princess Agelina. He didn't want her to go on that path. Even if he was optimistic about Justinian, people who were not strong enough could not go to the end with him. In comparison, Irina was the original idea of ​​living a carefree nobleman who lived his life in silence.

Seeing her old friend being so naive, Sergius looked at Hendriel mockingly and said, "At this point, she is not qualified to be involved, and you cannot protect her. Besides, her choice is just to follow her mother's expectations. You and I are not qualified to interfere with the choice of His Highness Irina Ducas. I am not in the mood to care about your past and Princess Agelina, nor do I care about you and Prince Theodor. My guardianship of that child has ended here."

"Then where are you going next?" Hendriel asked, knowing that his old friend's whereabouts have been vague.

"I won't go far for the time being. I hope you can find him, at least I will complete this instructor." The monk replied casually. "You should not care about me now, but Irina's child."

Sergius turned his back and looked up at the mural on the wall above his head. At this time, Hendriel discovered that Irina Ducas, who was still in the crowd just now, disappeared.

"His Highness Irina...not good--" The man who discovered this scene suddenly felt his heart in his throat.

Sergius, who turned his head to look at him, couldn't help laughing: "Don't worry, the child here will be fine. He was not abducted from someone. His Highness Irina just followed the little guy named Justinian in."

"Why didn't you say it earlier?"
