Chapter 16 On the Hidden Undercurrent

"I hope you can say the same thing in front of Lord Justinian! Instead of giving me a verbal advantage, right?" Alexia said, retortingly as the heir carefully trained by Countess Agnes, although she is still young, as the head of the Papadoros family, she is not inferior to the great nobles here. Instead, compared with these old men, there is more young people's spirit, and her outstanding abilities and extraordinary beauty, which makes her have a lot of support in the lower nobles.

It is also because of this that under the guidance of Alexia, many of the small and medium-sized nobles who had no good feelings for Justinian had changed greatly. This naturally made the great nobles angry at him, but even Earl Conir could not do anything when facing the Papadoros family with a good background. After being squeezed by a woman, his face turned pale and had nothing to say. For a moment, the atmosphere of the nobles' banquet also became tense in an instant. The smiles on the faces of the nobles who originally mocked Justinian were frozen and embarrassed.

"Hmph, is Ranieri wrong? As the governor of the Empire, the successor of the future Moria's autocratic Duke, it would be fine if he used Turks before. Not long ago, he also brought a Latin man under his command. What kind of system does it have? Not only that, he used various means to suppress us. Even if he made contributions to the enemy, he could block this leisurely mouth?" At this moment, another nobleman next to Ranieri retorted, with a noble expression on his face, and he did not take the young Alexia seriously at all. He was just a child and a woman. What if he inherited the title of the family!

But as soon as he finished speaking, Alexia snorted coldly, "If you say this, the emperors Komuning, who are in the survival of our country, are not in your eyes unconventional? You should know that His Majesty Alexei I led the Valangi Guards, the Turkic Cavalry fought against the Norman invasion, and Emperor Manuel also used the Latins to form a new army to regain the lost territory in the east. Do you also disagree with this?"

"Hehe, this kid is worthy of comparing the two late emperors, Alexe and Manuel, is probably your delusion! I really think that a young boy can make any mistakes. I think that after you die, the Papadoros family is really worse than the day after you die. You little guy really think that you can compare with us." The man who was robbed of white white was angry and simply said these words of humiliation in a sinister tone, which was more explicit than what Count Conir said just now.

This completely angered the other Papadoros family members standing behind Alexia. They suddenly stood up and several noble men almost drew their swords to face each other. Everyone couldn't help but change their color. Although there were guards around, the conflict was that the nobles were really hard to intervene. However, if the situation was out of control, the banquet would be full of blood and blood splattering on the spot, which no one wanted to see.

Just when the sword was tense, a voice finally stopped a bloody conflict.

"Enough, Pariolo, your words have passed." With his eyes, he signaled the reckless Earl of Pariolo next to him to sit back to his position. Conil put away his previous high and stood up to apologize to Alexia who was insulted: "I'm sorry, Alexia's old nephew, it was indeed our wrong words, but this kind of conflict is actually very common. I hope you don't take it to heart. After all, our respective families have coexisted in Molia for hundreds of years or even longer. Because of this, I hope you can also understand who is your friend and who is your enemy. I believe that in your hands, the Papadoros family will definitely be revived."

However, these words did not seem to have made Alexis appreciate it. She asked the tribesmen behind her to retreat just because she didn't want to make things worse. The noble girl who then slowly stood up looked at Earl Conil with a faint smile in front of her with a quiet expression and said coldly: "Thank you for your advice, Uncle Conil, this may be the last time I called you like this. You are right. For a successful leader of a family, it is very important to distinguish between enemies and me. Although this was indeed very unpleasant, I still want to thank Uncle Pariolo for finally letting me, who saw all this clearly, who could make up my mind by myself." After completely refusing this final win-win, Alexis took his tribesmen and retainers without hesitation and took his tribesmen and retainers to leave in front of everyone at this banquet, without leaving any face for the other party.

Some other famous Moria nobles left with the Papadoros family. A small half of the mat was empty at once. The rest, except for the Earl Conil, were also shaken, making these Moria nobles look as if they were eating a mouse shit.

"Hmph—" Earl Conil, who was furious, threw the copper wine glass on the ground and sprinkled the wine all over the ground, but he was helpless. However, there was a little more panic in his heart than the anger. Although he was unwilling to admit it, the facts have proved that invisibly Justinian won over the Papadoros family that was least favored by the layout in Fort Wiscari, which has greatly weakened Moria's opposition. Looking at the empty seat, we can tell that if we continue like this, we are afraid that not only would we think about how to undermine Justinian and make him a puppet and a mirror flower, but they would not be able to protect themselves.

This has become the consensus of many nobles of Moria, which has led to many small and medium-sized nobles changing their minds. However, aristocrats like Conil and Pariolo who occupy the basic market can only hold on and play with fat people.
