"Your achievements deserve the reward I give you, but before that I ask you again, are you really going to make a decision?" Theodor looked down at Justinian who was kneeling on one knee in front of him. Everyone present was looking forward to what kind of reward Justinian would receive. However, under such a venue, Theodor and Justinian both said at the racecourse without anyone knowing what they said.

Seeing all this, not only the nobles discussed it privately, but even Mrs. Ajelina and her daughter Elena were also looking at everything in front of them in confusion.

Faced with the other party's questioning, Justinian had already been mentally prepared. At this moment, he knew that Theodor could not break his promise, and he was not ready to retreat.

“I’ve made the decision.”

The conversation between the two people was too small, and all the nobles above stretched their necks to see what was going on. At this moment, Theodor suddenly raised the volume.

"That's great. Come with me first, I will give you what you want." Theodor signaled to the attendant beside him, and the attendant beside him immediately nodded and understood the master's instructions.

After looking at Justinian, Theodor said, "Okay, you can get up. When everything is over, you can take those thousand heavy infantrymen with you. But there will be a final dinner before that, and then I will announce the final appointment. Are you satisfied now?"

Seeing Theodor said this, Justinian didn't doubt anything, and stood up silently. Looking at the body of the heavily armored warrior being taken away, something seemed to be stirring in his throat, but the boy gave up. With the fact that he can't do anything now, and the gladiator performance finally came to an end.

But the potential restlessness was far from stopping. Justinian below followed Theodor slowly leaving the field, and the heavy doors closed. Some of the people in the crowd were observing everything with suspicious eyes.

"It seems Theodor has a new move."

“Does this need to be reported to His Majesty Mikhail?”

"Nonsense! Don't forget that the purpose of our coming here is to monitor the man's every move. In addition, that boy is also one of the purposes of our group coming here. This matter must be known to His Majesty as soon as possible. I have a bad premonition."

"A bad premonition? Not that, just that kind of boy?"

"It is possible, don't forget that Justinian was with His Majesty Muzfius, and it may not be a free and cold piece. Don't forget the things he did in Croatia before."

"The question is who is the heavy armored warrior who was carried down and died?"

"Don't worry about that, Theodor will deal with it cleaner than we thought... It's a waste of effort. It's better to report what happened here as soon as possible!"

In the corner where no one knows, some people whisper, as if a poisonous snake was spitting out a letter.

...

...

For one day, the carnival on St. Valentine's Day should have continued tonight, but a pouring rain interrupted the festive celebration of the festival, but it did not have any obstacles to the Earl's Mansion.

It was already pouring rain outside the door, as if the reservoir in the heaven was pouring towards the earth, and the burly guards at the door were directly guarding both sides of the main entrance of the mansion, holding decorative hook sickles and long halberds. In the hazy scene of heavy rain, it was easy to be mistaken for a marble sculpture.

Melodious dance music came from the Earl's mansion. Tonight, the top figures gathered here in Agrenion to enjoy the last joy of the banquet, while the guests privately discussed whether it was the daytime Earl Theodor and the young man named Justinian...

But the guards at the door were unmoved because their duty was to guard the place. Even if the raindrops flowed through their firm faces, they remained motionless. Looking out from here, the whole city was shrouded in the vast rain curtain.

But at this moment, the guards slowly turned their heads and looked at one guard, secretly stretched out and handed over a few gold coins, which made the companions beside them slightly stunned.

"What does this mean? Holiday gifts are too expensive..." The guard shook his head. The gift was very important.

But the other party directly slapped the gold coins into his hands, "I heard that your father was seriously injured when he followed General Zeodosefalon to Athens. The injury has not healed yet. I think the cost of treatment alone is a considerable expense. Just buy something for my uncle and will raise him. After all, he is the old commander of me back then, and Happy New Year in the end." After saying that, he turned around and returned to his stone sculpture-like standing posture.

Seeing this scene, the guard looked at the gold coins in his hand silently, knowing that his embarrassment had already fallen into the eyes of this senior, and his heart felt warm. Although he was a guard at the Earl's Mansion, the expenses in Agrignon were too great. Not long ago, his father was injured and retired, and his family was in trouble. He might even have a problem with marriage. If he had no help from his friends, he would not know what to do.

"Happy holiday." The guard put the gold coins in his pocket and then returned to a stone sculpture.

But at this moment, the rapid sound of horse hooves attracted their attention. At this night, it was raining and who would come here. The guards couldn't help but look puzzled. They held their weapons tightly and alerted them.

The sound of horse hooves was still rapid, and the visitor seemed to have no intention of dismounting. Who dared to be so arrogant here? The guards stood up suddenly, with long spears in their arms, leaned forward, and made a striking posture.

Although their weapons are gorgeously decorated and do not seem to be suitable, it is actually more than enough to kill a galloping horse with this.

At this time, a horse galloped in the rain. Obviously, he also saw the guards guarding the door pulling the reins suddenly, stirring up a large area of ​​rain. The rider jumped down and used his hand to push away the two crossed hooks and sickles with his hands expressionlessly. The fur cloak on his body had been soaked in the rain, and the man threw it directly on the ground without caring about it.

When the guards saw the face of the visitor clearly, they immediately took back the weapons in their hands.

"His Royal Highness Romanus!"

There was no stop, because Romanus, the eldest son of Count Theodor, had received an invitation to the banquet tonight. Just looking at the bruised face, the guards had the urge to laugh. They had heard in the public that their Count's son was beaten in the lower city, which was undoubtedly a very embarrassing thing.

But Romanus did not look at the guards at first glance. He walked straight into the Earl's mansion. When he stepped onto the purple-red carpet, a ceremony of appointment had already begun, and the majestic voice of Count Theodor resounded throughout the banquet.
Chapter completed!
