Eagle Flag of Epirus

The co-governing queen, or female Caesar, is the most honorable title in the empire after the emperor, and it is often difficult for ordinary queens or princesses to obtain, because it not only means the mighty emperor's grace but also means being in the Unusual authority within the empire. The qualifications granted to it are generally only possessed by real emperors, and in extraordinary times, Eudosia Angeles, at this time, she put on the crown under the attention of the Macedonian people. Not only does it mean that she has the orthodox blessing of the Orthodox Church, but also the recognition of the Roman people. When she recognizes her, she declares that Moria, Macedonia, Thessaly and southern Epirus are the true orthodoxy of the empire. Ruth Nina, Nicaea, Trabisson, etc. are all guilty of tyrants.

Surrounded by the flowers of the people and the spears of the warriors, Eudoshia completed her coronation ceremony, only listening to her ears and beside her, all the people's mountain shouts, long live the people of Thessaloniki, and the people of Thessaloniki There were also Slavic mountain people, Wallachian herdsmen, Lombard mercenaries, and Varyag sailors. Looking at everything in front of her, the eyes of the purple-clothed princess flickered for a moment, but they were quickly replaced by Guo Yi. At this moment, she will no longer be lost, neither will she forget her responsibilities in the vanity of passing eyes like her parents, nor will she blindly escape and shirk like her past self. She is no longer the unknown young daughter of the Angeles family, but the loving mother of the country of Rome.

"Your Majesty Eudosia, long live!"

"Your Majesty Eudosia, long live!"

…

"She will be a qualified ruler, won't she?" Antonia asked Justinian, watching the scene in front of her from a distance.

"Of course, she will surely win the love of her people." Justinian replied without hesitation. This was before the war started by the rebels that night in Tripolis. He and this man were determined to fulfill their The responsible princesses agreed with each other.

"But it also means that her enemies are bound to get rid of her quickly."

While the two were talking, there were footsteps and gasps hurriedly behind them, and Justinian and Antonia both turned to look behind them. I saw Justinian's captain of the bodyguard, Salius, looking anxious and in pain, and before he could catch his breath, he choked up and said, "His Royal Highness Justinian, Archduke Anastasius, wake up...but He is about to die, he asks you to go see him...his last time." After speaking, the loyal guard wept blood, lowered his head and tried his best to hold back the hot tears from flowing out of his eyes.

And Justinian stood dumbfounded, he had expected this day to come, but he did not expect it to come so quickly. After the Moriah Rebellion, the eldest duke, who was eroded by the fragments of the Ark of the Covenant, has been seriously ill and has finally run out of fuel for the past two years. But Justinian never expected that the already written ending would be so abrupt. He thought that there would be a decent farewell ceremony for this parting, but it was obvious that the old man who had returned to the light could not support it for long.

"I'm sorry, I should have told you earlier, it's a miracle that Your Excellency Anastasius can support up to now." On the side, the Genoese girl said apologetically, taking care of the princess and the paralyzed old man. Antonia was responsible for the illness of the Archduke. After all, there were only a handful of famous doctors in Thessaloniki after the war, and she was once brought up by the doctor Christopher, and she understood the pharmacology. But Antonia has been feeling uneasy in her heart, because she has no clue about the strange disease of the old man, and what frightens her even more is that Princess Eudoxia seems to have a similar disease, but it is less severe. , doesn't that mean...

"I didn't mean to blame you." Justinian shook his head. He knew that the power of the Ark of the Covenant was not something that could be solved by medicine, but he had to leave now. For Archduke Anastasius, Justinian has always been grateful. If it wasn't for the help of the other party, he would not have been able to stand firmly on the heels of Peloponnese, and now he has to meet him for the last time no matter what. .

"I'll leave it to you for the time being, Her Royal Highness." After that, Justinian followed Salius to the inner hall.

…

In the deep palace, the cheers of tens of thousands of people outside the square echoed inside and outside the gray dome. It was only possible with joy and vitality. The decaying old man slowly opened his eyes.

It's really an old bone, and it's becoming more and more useless. He had slept for such a long sleep, but when he woke up, he was so tired that he wanted to close his eyes. Manuel, if you're still here, you'll be laughing at my aging head again.

Archduke Anastasius laughed at himself. Now he doesn't even have the strength to speak, but he still insists on letting the servants beside him prop up his sick body and sit on the bed. The old man's eyes also flickered with a few rays of sunlight that barely penetrated through the window.

"This dream is so long!" Anastasius murmured to himself, he felt that he was not exactly like a walking dead in the past two years, but as if he had just done a game In the dream, he saw the sun jumping out of the Golden Horn, and on the hills, the women were singing, and the men were plowing the fields. He dreamed that an angel was flying towards the sun. It was his dead son. He dreamed that the angel fluttered his wings and blew a few thick rain clouds. , He dreamed that the angel dispelled the plagues and cast them into the fire of the sun, and also dreamed that he held a harp and played to the four directions, and the war, famine and death in the dream were like the ebb of the sea, and no longer raged. He shouted, calling his son's name in the dream, wanting him to come back, but in a trance he dreamed that the angel seemed to have the same face as him, but when he looked closely, it was different, the only constant It's an angel in a dream, and he's still flying higher and higher. Until his waxed wings finally couldn't withstand the high temperature of Yaoyang's melting, he fell from the sky and fell into the Golden Horn. But what surprised Archduke Anastasius was that he was not sad. In the dream, he was with the farmers, standing in the golden wheat field with a sickle in his hand. He laughed, cried and laughed. This is the first time he has laughed in the three years since he lost his son...

"Grand Duke, I brought His Royal Highness Justinian here." Sarius' excited voice came late, and when he arrived with Justinian, Anastasius was serving in the dormitory. All the servants of the Archduke fell to their knees and fell silent.

They were still too late.

On the sickbed, the old man was sitting peacefully beside the goose down pillow. There were still wet tears on both sides of his decayed face, but he still had a satisfied smile on his face, as brilliant as he flew to the sun in a dream.
