Chapter 5: The Father Who Defrauded His Son

() In the east of Constantinople, the Grand Palace of Constantinople, which symbolizes the imperial power of the empire, and Augusta Square, the center that maintained the operation of this ancient and huge empire, are located here. Constantinople is

The heart of the empire, and the East End is the center of this heart.

To the north of Augusta Square, between the Arena of Constantinople and Hagia Sophia, which is the original site of the Grand Palace of Constantinople, there are three marble buildings covered with sunset.

Five groups constitute the highlight of the entire empire, and the more magnificent building group not far away is the newly built Royal Palace of Constantinople.

Along the way, we were surrounded by green trees. Alexander, my guards, and I stopped in front of an enclosed courtyard surrounded by colonnades. This is our home in this city.

In the mouth of outsiders, this place is called the residence of Prince Theofano, but some people who are not very friendly to this family call this place the wolf's den because of the owner of this palace. This is the first time I know this interesting phenomenon.

Sometimes, I always have an inexplicable urge to return to Wolfenstein. But no matter what other people call this place, I like to call the owner who lives in this palace cheap daddy.

Alexander's and I's father is a pretty good person, but he's quite perverted. Well, you can get a glimpse of this just by naming us. But, whoever sees my cheap look for the first time

He would not be classified as a patient suffering from intermittent neuroendocrine imbalance syndrome who is in urgent need of electroshock therapy.

The black hair unique to the Greeks, the facial contours are very clear, and the lines are very attractive, but the dark pupils in the eyes and the mustache around the mouth make the whole person look more delicate, even with a bit of a frail aristocrat.

It has a touch of elegance.

He is very deceptive, but anyone who is familiar with this guy knows that he can pick up a 30-pound tomahawk with one hand and swing it for a long time without any effort. A year ago, his favorite thing to do was to hold a rapier.

, jumping up and down in the courtyard with windy footwork, Alexander and I challenged him together. Our swordsmanship was relatively poor, and we were always beaten to the ground by him.

Sometimes I think about it, and I always feel that he did it on purpose. Because he never hits us. In this era that is still hundreds of years away from the 21st century, there are few fathers who don’t beat their sons. But he just doesn’t hit us, at most.

They just practiced swordplay with us, and the weapons we fought with depended on our mood. When Alexander was a child, he actually picked up a thirty-pound battle ax because he annoyed him, but poor Alexander only had one finger.

I will never forget the look on Alexander's face that day, when he was almost peeing in fright amid the flying sand and rocks and the shadow of the ax and sword.

After entering the palace and tying the horses into the stables, a servant came over and told us that dinner time would be here soon.

After lunch, we left from West Point, Constantinople. It was still a few hours before evening, but it was quite depressing to have dinner as soon as we arrived home.

It was like this in ancient times. Traffic was inconvenient. Even if I rode a BMW in fourth gear, I couldn't reach a speed of 170 kilometers per hour. The maximum speed was 100. It was still a short-term acceleration. In addition, there were no traffic lights on the road, which confused me.

I often envy those who travel to ultra-high-tech planets.

During the meal, I gave the two of us a chance to roast a leg of lamb and asked us about our progress in collecting money.

I'm a little surprised. A large part of the funds we plan to use to recruit the army in the future come from the self-allocated funds that I give us every month. As a provider, he is not stupid. He just needs to use his brain a little.

I can make a rough guess.

Alexander chewed the lamb leg and asked if there was any inconvenience.

"Nikkis!"

I put down the crystal cup in my hand, swallowed a mouthful of food, and then looked sideways, I saw that I was calling me.

"I have something I need you to do. This is a private matter, but it is also a business matter!"

The cheap man's expression was very serious and solemn, which made even Alexander pay attention to the matter.

I braced myself: "It would be my honor to serve you, Caesar!"

In our case, if a person is named Caesar, in many cases, no matter what identity and title that person has, out of respect and solemnity, traditionally speaking, we must call him Caesar, even if he

It's the father.

"If you do a good job, I can help you make up for the shortfall in your funds." I smiled very coquettishly, but it was always bad for him to smile like this. He stretched out his fingers and tapped the table.

, "You all know that our family has always wanted to expand trade channels with those countries in the west."

Alexander and I nodded together, this is considered a question left over from history.

"Now, I found one."

My face lingered strangely on the faces of Mr. Cheap and Alexander, and I asked: "Are you going to contact that person? But why don't you leave it to Alexander? He is the eldest son of the Theofano family. It's not up to him to come forward."

better?"

Alexander asked: "Is it because that person's identity is not enough for Theofano's eldest son to come forward? Or is it because his identity cannot be exposed and can only be contacted in secret?"

"None of them." I raised my eyelids with an inexplicable smile in my eyes, "Because that's a woman."

"oh."

"She is a twenty-five-year-old woman."

"oh…"

"She is a twenty-five-year-old widow who has been married, but her husband unfortunately passed away some time ago..."

The smile in my eyes is getting bigger and bigger, and I have a feeling of pain in my balls...

"I hope you can marry her."

I clearly felt the flesh on both sides of my cheeks tremble. Is this retribution? An hour ago I just laughed at someone else going on a blind date, and then so soon it was my turn? And the person was a 25-year-old adult. Compared to

It's even worse for someone who is well-matched! Looking at the appearance of the cheap man, it seems that he really wants me to marry her. Damn it, then when I am forty years old and in my prime, won't I have to face an old woman? You know, now this

There is no botulinum toxin in the civilization stage!

Bang, that was the sound of the knife falling from Alexander's hand. Obviously, he also realized the seriousness of it.

"Caesar, I think I just heard you asking me to marry a twenty-five-year-old widow. I seem to be seventeen this year." I swallowed and confirmed.

Alexander also reacted and said: "Father, that woman is twenty-five years old, and her brother is less than seventeen. The age difference between the two is almost ten years. This age is too outrageous? Besides, what will happen to him after he marries that woman?

manage?!"

"The issue of age is your problem, it has nothing to do with me." The cheap man shook his finger and kicked the ball back to us.

"Come on, Caesar! It's not about age anymore!"

Brother, it feels so good to have your backing! I nodded vigorously, this is a major event related to lifelong happiness in the future!

Alexander stood up with a very fierce attitude: "I don't want my brother to show his talents to the world and become a waste because he is addicted to women! I need Nikki who is not a waste more than a middleman with trade channels to the west.

Ferus!”

Wait, this way of expressing brotherly love seems wrong!
