Chapter 77 Bat
Although Fort Wiscarri eliminated the threat posed by the Venetians, this does not mean that everything is over. The resettlement of refugees and the damage caused after the war are enough to make the Byzantines anxious.
"Is this really your plan?" Countess Agnes, with an ugly face, looked at Leosgros beside her and asked again unwillingly. She took the Papadopoulos family with all the property she could take to take to take to the bay that had been unattended in the night and arranged for her family to board the ships that had escaped. Now, Fort Wiscari, which left a large mess, was in a state of turmoil because of the famine faced after the siege, no one noticed them. Therefore, Agnes could leave here calmly, but this woman still could not accept such a reality. At this moment, she had to escape from here in a panic, which also meant that she admitted that she had betrayed Molia, which meant that the Papadopoulos family would never have a place in Molia.
But in the face of such questioning, Duke Leo replied calmly: "There is no other way. You know very well the methods of that old guy Anastasius. If he doesn't deal with us now, it doesn't mean he won't be there in the future. And the transactions between me and the Lascaris family are all carried out through yours, so it will be good for you and me to leave now. Otherwise, you will not even have the chance to escape unstoppable."
After hearing the other party's calm words, Mrs. Agnes understood that the other party was not exaggerating anything, "Then what are you going to do after I leave?"
The two of them were obviously accomplices, but at this moment, Leosgrace did not seem to be worried about the incident.
And the Duke of Leo shrugged indifferently and replied: "You don't have to worry about this. If Anastasius does not have enough evidence, even he will not touch me at all. It is because of this that I want you to leave here and go to Nicea. Then say hello to His Majesty Lascalis on my behalf!"
"Don't you really leave with me? I think you can be valued by Your Majesty as yourselves. Do you want to continue to be a bat? Then you must be prepared forever. The result of exploring around will be that there will be no more cone land."
"Bat, this is an appropriate metaphor." Hearing the title Agnes gave him, a smile appeared on Duke Leo's face.
The fables of bats have existed since Moria's time in the classical city-state, and they have been familiar with them as children.
A long time ago, a war broke out between birds and beasts. Both sides were stalemate and refused to give in. When the birds defeated the beasts, the cunning bat suddenly appeared in front of the birds and joined as birds. However, when the beasts defeated the birds, the bat suddenly appeared in the beast's camp, who claimed to be rats and became comrades of the beasts. In fact, the bat was a coward, and when the war began, he did not show up and hid on the side to watch the battle. The war ended in the end, and the beasts and birds reconciled, and both sides knew the behavior of the bats. When the bat appeared again, he could not get the accommodation of the beasts, nor was he able to be taken in by the birds, and could only fly secretly in the dark.
It is obvious that the title Agnes gave is not a good thing, but Duke Leo accepted it calmly without any displeasure.
"Since I know, why do you still do this?" Agnes looked at the man in front of him in confusion and asked. Elios Gross's ability can be reused as long as he is willing to be loyal to any party, but this man chose the most difficult and dangerous one, which is really incredible.
But Duke Leo shook his head: "Because you don't understand. Agnes, do you know, when I heard my father tell me this story when I was very young, I had a very vague idea. The biggest failure of the bat was not the so-called two-faced sword, but he foolishly sat down and watched the reconciliation between the two sides, which made him lose his shelter. Otherwise, he could have wandered around the two sides calmly to gain more benefits, and I would not have made such a mistake. This is why I do not hate the Latins who captured Constantinople. It just gave me a chance to dominate myself."
Listening to the cold words of the man in front of her, Countess Agnes shuddered. She clearly felt the madness in Leosgros's words. It was obvious that this man's ambition was far beyond her imagination. As a family with shallow foundation, although Sgros was important in Molia, he was only a new branch that was only in the period of Emperor Manuel. Neither Komuning, Ducas nor Lascaris could match it.
Now, Mrs. Agnes finally understood the reason why this man took in Princess Odosia. It turned out that this man's real purpose was to touch the purple crown. Although it was so crazy, she still had to admire the man who had such ambition.
During the past three hundred years of the empire, although the court conspiracies between the nobles were constantly being conspired, the same aristocrats were actually reshuffled. Whether it was the Ducas family, the Angeles family, or the Komuning, Lascaris were all blood-related relatives. However, now Leosgros actually intends to break the tacit understanding that has been maintained for a hundred years. This obviously requires not only ability, but also great courage.
All such people are gamblers, who can gamble on everything and even life for what they want. This kind of people are the most terrifying, because once their ambitions expand and explode, they hold huge power in their hands, which can only cause everything around them to pieces and be ruined, and they will never be restored.
I couldn't help but beat a chilling woman and then ended the farewell and was about to board the ship.
"Since that's the case, I wish you good luck!" Looking at the dim moonlight in the sky, the Countess finally said goodbye. It would be bad if she didn't leave quickly and was discovered, but more importantly, the conversation with Duke Leo made her a little scared. You must know that these words should not be said casually.
However, Leos Gross seemed to have fun just now, and the butler next to him served the wine glass that had been prepared long ago.
"It's been a long time since I've been saying my heart so well with someone. Mrs. Agnes, I have to say that I still admire you very much for being able to support a fragile family for several years. It's not something that ordinary people can do when wandering in the covetous wolves. I wish you a smooth journey to Nicea." After that, the man raised the wine glass in his hand and said goodbye.
Although Countess Agnes was a little hesitant, she picked up the wine in front of her and sipped it gently, "See you later, Duke Leo."
"Maybe!"
After saying that, watching the other party board the boat that had been waiting long ago and quickly disappeared into the darkness while taking advantage of the night to sail towards the deep bay, Leosgross slowly put down his wine glass, but his face was gloomy and scary. He carefully recalled everything that had happened before, and made sure that there was no other handle other than this woman that might be caught. However, the man was still a little uneasy in his heart, because everything was too calm and it made him feel a little scared.
