Chapter 2: The Difficulties of Romanus Ducasse

"Lord Romanus?" Justinian frowned slightly. He knew who was coming, but why did Count Theodore's son come to him at this time? He thought Agrinion had already

He had almost forgotten that the Turks were hired by him to attack pirates a few months ago. This was undoubtedly transgressive, but the amazing thing was that Theodore was so angry that he never had any special reaction. After a few months, why?

Will Romanus focus on a "little guy" like him again?

"Yes, Lord Romanus teaches you to go see him immediately without any delay." The Roman soldier who delivered the order was not polite at all. His completely condescending attitude made the guards and villagers present furious. But Justinian

Immediately use your eyes to tell everyone not to act rashly!

"I understand, please tell Baron Romanus that I will leave immediately and ask him to wait for a moment." Since he was relying on someone else, Justinian also knew that he had no choice, but he was curious why it was Romanus Duca.

Si came here.

While Justinian was inspecting the countryside, the atmosphere in Ilovan Castle was already extremely tense.

The heavily armed Epirus heavy cavalry entered the castle with murderous intent. The residents in the castle quickly hid on both sides and looked at these uninvited guests.

Romanus was currently riding his own horse and scanning everything on the street, with a sneer on his face.

"It seems that boy is really good at it."

"Lo...Lord Romanus, why are you here?" Leo and Abdra arrived late after learning the news, and when they saw the menacing Romanus, they didn't know what to do for a moment.

It's good.

"Oh, can't I come here without holding on?"

Looking at Romanus's cold eyes, Leo and Abdra were shocked, "I don't dare, I'm just really scared. You actually came to a small place like ours in person, and I couldn't welcome you from a distance. Please forgive me."

.Lord Justinian may still..."

"It doesn't matter, I've sent someone there before." Romanus waved his hand on the horse and said with a sneer on his face, which made Abdera and Leo even more frightened.

It was obvious that the other party's visit this time must have come with bad intentions.

After all, Justinian hired those Turks before to help them escape from Agrinion's control. Although there was no clue to the other party, he was probably able to make a rough guess. Now look at Romanus's appearance.

The two men were also frightened and could only pray that Justinian would be ready on his way back.

Glancing at the Genoese businessmen on the street, Romanus's face became even colder.

"Who allowed these Latins to come here? It's really disgusting!" Romanus suddenly saw Phillips and his party and said coldly, while the soldiers behind him also got off their horses, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.

"What does this mean?" The confused Genoese businessmen looked at the fierce-looking Romans and didn't know what to do. It was clear that they were warmly received when they came just now, but now their attitude is completely opposite.

On the side, Leo and Abdera did not dare to say anything. After all, allowing the Genoese to come here to do business was a private cooperation between Justinian and the other party, but doing so would undoubtedly make Ilovan Castle and the Genoese

trade has been greatly affected.

"Drive them out!" Romanus ordered, and his guards were already eager to try. The Italian businessmen who saw this scene were also shocked, remembering the Romans in Constantinople.

The scene of the expulsion of the Venetians was still fresh in the memory of many of them because their elders had witnessed it.

"Wait a minute!"

At this critical moment, the young man riding a horse in a hurry stopped the Agrinion army who was about to commit violence against the Genoese merchants. It was Justinian who rushed over immediately after receiving the news.

Having received the news, he felt that something was not good, and as expected, the other party actually had thoughts about his cooperation with the Genoese people.

"Your Excellency Romanus, please forgive me for not being able to go out of the city to welcome you." Although we have not met before, Justinian guessed from his age that this young man should be the eldest son of Count Theodore.

Romanus. According to history, he usurped his father's throne more than thirty years later. He was obviously a character who was not easy to mess with.

"I just came here to inspect. Just like what you did just now, there is no need to accuse. But how do you explain these smelly Latins?" Romanus didn't even look at Justinian but fiddled with it.

He asked casually with his slender fingers, which made everyone see that this man did not take Justinian seriously at all.

Everyone in the castle couldn't help but feel angry when they saw these uninvited guests.

But Justinian was not angry. He understood that Romanus in front of him was simply here to find trouble. The Genoese had been doing business here for several months. If the people in Agrinion didn't know, they might not be blind.

Dropped.

But what makes Justinian hesitate now is whether what Romanus is doing now is the intention of Theodore behind it, or whether it is Romanus's own initiative. If it is the former, then with his current strength and

Agrinion's master would undoubtedly be seeking death if he resisted, but if it was the latter, then he had nothing to fear.

"I don't understand what you mean, Lord Romanus." Justinian replied calmly, remaining calm in the face of Romanus's fierceness, which finally made the Genoese businessmen who were a little panicked finally feel at ease.

On the side, Phillips felt that the young man on the horse looked more and more familiar. He suddenly remembered that this was not the boy who was sitting on his boat before! He still remembered it because of Andrea Doria.

"He...he...how could he..." Phillips couldn't help but started to speak incoherently, while several old men in charge of Ilovan Castle quickly asked him to shut up.

"Hush, that's our lord Justinian, and that's Baron Romanus. Don't go up and add fuel to the fire!" Due to the fall of Constantinople, Rome is now full of people.

They are very unfriendly to Western Christendom, regardless of the difference between Venetians and Genoese. Seeing this, the Genoese businessmen had no choice but to shut up. After all, this is the territory of the Romans. Although it is unpleasant, they should not do anything like this.

We can only see how the young lord deals with the matter.
