"Is this really what you want, Alexia?" asked Madam Zoe calmly. Looking at the girl she raised, she knew what was thinking in her heart.

However, Alexia replied in great peace: "I volunteered to be Joseph Focas's wife. This is my own choice and has nothing to do with anyone else."

The girl directly interrupted the conversation between the two. Although the voice was calm, Zoe still heard the stubbornness in the child's bones. And in Alexia, she once again saw that calm growth. Perhaps this child who once acted coquettishly to her has really grown up!

He nodded with a little relief, the woman nodded and smiled, "Okay, since you have said that, I don't have to argue with you anymore. I believe you will definitely make the right choice when you are so old. But this time it's rare that you come to see me, it's not for this matter. I think my life should not be far away!" Understanding what she has done, Zoe knew that Justinian, who has lost so many of her trusted subordinates, should not let her go, so she has been waiting for this day.

As Zoe expected, Alexia was silent and just stared at her quietly, which was equivalent to admitting that her guess was correct.

After a long time, the noble girl finally broke her silence after her struggle in her heart. She looked at her breasts who had been with her since she was a child and said, "I can save you."

But as soon as she finished speaking, Madam Zoe, who had already guessed, shook her head and refused her directly. "This is impossible, Alexia. You know that Master Justinian better than me. From that day on, I knew that there will always be this day. I am satisfied to be able to look at you again and ensure that you can be safe. Since it was my original choice, I must accept the final result calmly. Even if you and me forced to recover, you will not be able to get a perfect ending."

"But that day you didn't say that to me." Alexia almost broke down, and her voice became choked at this moment.

But the woman in front of me was still unmoved, "Once upon time, that Lord Justinian cannot make the same mistake. This is the difference between him and Lord Leosgross. This proves that the person you follow is indeed not wrong. Now I have no place to stand. Since there is no other nostalgia, leaving this world with decent decent is my destination." After his intentions were resolved, Zoe ended the conversation without giving Alexia any room for her. Although she was just a retainer of the Sgross family, everything turned into a bubble with the death of Duke Leo, but her determination never changed.

Seeing Zoe turn around and looking at the other person's back, Alexia finally understood that even if she worked hard, the woman in front of her would never change her mind. She wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. The girl bowed and said nothing more. She almost escaped from the prison cell with a distraught look.

...

It is rare to be such a quiet and leisurely afternoon. Although the snow in the courtyard is still there, bathing in the warm sunshine in this winter, you can roughly feel that winter is about to come to an end.

In the courtyard, the lively little girl was playing with the maids, sitting on the stone bench beside her, while the mother smiled and watched her cute daughter move every time, with deep care on her face all the time.

It has been a long time since there was such a wonderful time! Seeing all this, Odosia couldn't help but sigh in her heart. Only after she lost the days of peace were lost did she realize that this leisure was extremely luxurious and short-lived before driving the Latins away.

In the past few days, the princess had already known the general mobilization of the city of Tripolis and understood what it meant. However, Odosia couldn't help but worry about that person at this moment. The princess who had once been in Constantinople had much more knowledge of the horror of those Latins than ordinary people. Everything Justinian had experienced at present was still a pediatrician than the Battle of Constantinople. Of course, Odosia believed in Justinian's ability, but she had to feel uneasy. Thinking of this, the woman subconsciously broke into a divine and sat on the stone bench, so that she did not notice his arrival until he walked beside her and suddenly found that the laughter of the maids stopped.

"Gui'an, Your Highness the Princess!" The person who walked into the courtyard was Justinian.

"Oh—I didn't even pay attention."

Odosia showed a reserved smile slightly, but looking at Justinian's appearance, she couldn't help but feel uneasy. It seemed that this young man must have been working hard these days to prepare for the war.

He immediately asked if he had encountered any difficulties and whether he needed help from himself, and then told him not to take on all the burdens. Odosia wanted to do this, but she knew that the big boy in front of her would always show that confident smile, so that she could rest assured everything.

"I haven't seen you for almost several days! It seems that the things I have done these days are enough for you."

“Ahhh…yeah.”

Justinian shrugged, and his eyes as he looked at Odosia suddenly became a little flashing. It seemed that the princess in front of him had already heard the wind. In order to break the awkward silence, Justinian understood that he had to find a more relaxed topic to divert his attention.

——Finished. He watched and played with the maids. At a young age, he could see that the girl who would not be beautiful in the future would not be able to let her mother be.

"Helena! Look at what this is."

Justinian shouted and waved the "gift" he was holding

Helena immediately noticed him, saw what was in Justinian's hand and immediately ran over with a smile on her face.

"Uncle Justinian, thank you for your hard work on the road!" The well-behaved Helena said sweetly to Justinian.

"Hello, Helena. I lost your kite last time, and I promised to make two more apologize for you. Do you like it?"

Justinian smiled and touched the girl's little head, and handed her two brand new kites together.

"Wow, so beautiful..."

This time the kite is not the simple diamond-shaped kite as simple as before. Justinian made two colorful kites according to his memories of his previous life and captured the girl's heart in one go.

"Uncle Justinian, thank you, I will definitely cherish these two." Helena, excitedly said with a smile, focusing entirely on the new gift Justinian gave him.

"Haha, just like you." Seeing her, she immediately brought the kite and asked the maids to play with her. Justinian was also sincerely happy. Children of this age should be so carefree, but it was because of the war that many of them could not even get a stable childhood.

Looking at Justinian, Odosia blamed her helplessly: "It's obvious that you're so busy, why bother to spend so much effort!"

"It's just a simple task, and there's no point in mind." Justinian waved his hand and smiled casually.
