Chapter 277: Buried Memories
"What are you kidding, now that Trebizond is in such a dangerous situation, are you going to do such a ridiculous thing?" One of the councillors looked at Andopolis angrily and asked, they are now at war with the Nicaeans, and what they need is the power of Consdante, but now Andopulis is so aggressive, making this conversation very unpleasant and even an aggressive trial, how can the Knight King be of use to them?
But Andopoulis, staring at the accusing councillor, asked, "If I'm not mistaken, King Angros has given me the lead in this meeting." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoIf you have any questions, please talk about it later! ”
For a while, the other parliamentarians were also silent. This was decided before, but the key thing was that they didn't expect this man to be like this, which made the atmosphere of the whole venue very embarrassing.
As for their attitude towards Constance Dante now, they also find more and more that this kid is a difficult thorn in the thorn to deal with. But this is not enough to make the parliamentarians really disgusted with it, after all, capable people are worthy of respect. There is no doubt about this, and if Consdany Dante is really as tame as a sheep as a knight, it makes people feel unreliable. In fact, at the beginning, the parliamentarians all had the intention of letting Andopulis test Conseidante, but in the current situation, Andopolis safely forced Conses Dante into a corner, and more importantly, they also had to stand on the opposite side of Conses Dante, and everyone was curious about what happened fourteen years ago! You know, at that time, the new Roman Empire was not completely without a turnaround, although the walls of Theodosius were conquered, but Constantinople itself was not completely without a chance to become the grave of the crusaders, but at the critical moment, the knights under the command of the hope of the empire were inexplicably wiped out. So much so that Constance Dante himself does not seem to have personally experienced the last battle.
Andopoulis's suspicions about Constance Dante were not groundless.
"Secretary Andopolis, although His Majesty has entrusted you with the task of presiding over the overall situation, it doesn't seem that you are allowed to do so, right?" At this moment, the girl sitting on the high place suddenly spoke, looked at the man coldly and said.
"Your Highness, although the Knight King really seems to be very important to us. But I must be reminded that if we can't even figure out what happened fourteen years ago, how can we trust him? What if he was the one who brought Constantinople to the fall in the first place? We can't afford to make any mistakes now! Andopoulis's voice was chilling, and everyone couldn't help but shudder. This is something that others have always wanted to say but have not dared to say. After all, too many people lost their lives in that catastrophe, although a large number of nobles fled to Nicaea, but most of the military attachés were martyred, and even the emperor was crushed.
So, the man locked on to Constance Dante once again with his viper-like eyes. Suddenly, he got up from his seat and walked slowly down the steps towards Constance Dante, only a step apart.
Andopoulis sneered and whispered in Consdante's ear: "Then, Your Highness the Knight King, if you can't clarify the facts, we can't trust you. After all, even if you kill your own subordinates, it doesn't seem impossible to us. ”
This sentence also completely angered Constance Dante, and although the other councillors also frowned at the way Andopolis spoke, the following Constance Dante's behavior greatly shocked them.
Like a beast thoroughly enraged, Cizer suddenly lunged forward without warning, and fell to the ground with Andopoulis. His roar echoed through the hall, "Shut up!" ”
The pair of eyes that always make people feel tame and low actually burst out of a terrifying fierce light, which looks like a lake, but in fact it is a bottomless pool, and even a turbulent undercurrent is about to roll people into it at any time as if it is crushed. Sylvia couldn't have imagined that the man who had always been quietly alienated from the world would reveal such a side, and at that moment it was simply a dragon standing in front of them, and Andopoulis had just touched his scales.
Maybe everyone has such a side, deep down in everyone's heart there is a place that cannot tolerate the touch of others, which seems to be soft, but in fact it is as hard as steel, and even has spikes!
When everyone realized, they realized that Andopulis had been swung off by Consitine's fist and his face was bruised.
"Quick, stop him." The nobles shouted that Consitine and Andopulis should be pulled apart, but the ferocity in Conseidante's eyes did not diminish in the slightest.
A sucker!
Sylvia looked at Constance Dante and scolded in her heart, the girl saw the smile on Andopulis's face when he was pulled away, he didn't resist from beginning to end, Sylvia didn't think that this man would be looked at by the thin Constance Dante and had no strength to parry. It was the man who deliberately wanted to provoke Constance Dante, and it was clear that the death of Constance Dante's former subordinates was a pain that Constance Dante could not touch. Although I don't know what happened at that time, I can leave such a big wound in the boy's heart, and the suffering can be imagined.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you have also seen it, it seems that His Royal Highness the Knight King seems to be restless as well. Is there really something unspeakable? Andopouli pushed away the guards beside him, looked at Constance, who was under control, and Dante sneered. If we can't even control it, do we still need him? ”
At this time, the fragments of memory once again made waves and caused a sharp pain in the inside of Cons Dante's skull, cold sweat seeped out from the corners of his forehead, he couldn't tell why, obviously he still remembered the chaotic and dark night in his heart, but once he touched it, it was like something stabbed his heart. Subconsciously, Constance Dante pressed his head so tightly that he couldn't speak at all.
But it was precisely this behavior that deepened the suspicions of the other councillors, after all, there had been a rumor for a long time that Constantinople had fallen because an inner ghost had opened the gates. And it is not impossible for Constance Dante to be the traitor...... In particular, Constance Dante's behavior just now seems to have gone a little too far.
They don't understand what the hell is going on...... I could only watch the young man with some nervousness in his eyes holding his head.
At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open, and out came a man in a purple royal robe, who attracted everyone's attention, and he was the king of the country - Angelos.
"Your Majesty!"
"It's over this boring dinner." Anglos looked coldly at the councillors and said, as if to say, "I've done all these stupid things you told me to do." ”
And he looked at Constance Dante, who was half-kneeling and covering his head, and asked, "What's wrong?" Aren't you in need of the Knight King's power right now? ”
But Andopoulis shook his head and replied, "If His Royal Highness the Knight King can't explain what happened fourteen years ago, it seems to us that it is a potentially great threat. ”
"Threat, know that even prisoners can take up arms and go to war in times of war."
"But, Your Majesty, you don't know when they're going to shoot themselves in the back, do you? At least, now I think His Royal Highness the Knight King needs to calm down. Andopulis met King Angros' gaze without any dodging. At this moment, a voice sounded softly. A young man behind Angros cleared his throat.
"Gentlemen, may I speak?"
Constance Dante could vaguely see that the man was the man who was with Angros at that time, that is, Sylvia's brother.
"Of course, Duke Valens." Andopoulis said. In fact, the young man was already titular crown prince, and as the only direct male heir to Angelos, he was undisputed as the future king of Trebizond. At this time, the young man wanted to say a few words, of course, no one objected, and besides, he was much more pleasing than his grandfather.
Then the man turned to look at Constance Dante again.
"Hello Your Highness the Knight King, maybe you don't remember me anymore, I used to serve in the Empire and was your subordinate. It's just that you always wore a mask at that time and never saw the real face. It's a pity that I didn't take part in that terrible war, otherwise maybe they wouldn't have died, right, Your Highness? Valence sighed softly, and his words sent waves through Consdante's heart.
"I'm curious, Your Highness, how did your subordinates, my former comrades-in-arms, die?"
Valens's words were as imprinted in Constance Dante's mind, and the pain was severe.
But the man did not give Constance Dante any respite at all, "Tell me who caused that tragedy?" ”
"Who made you so miserable?"
Valens looked at Constance Dante's pale face, and every time he said a word, Constance Dante seemed to pounce on him at any moment, but the guards around him subdued him and immobilized.
"Tell me...... Who are you? ”
"It's Justinian!" There was not the slightest expression in Consdante's empty eyes, but he spat out a name, "It's the Knight King—"
Valence, on the other hand, abruptly interrupted Constance Dante, "Yes, it's you, it's you who killed those people, aren't you?" Traitors and sinners of the Empire! Wasn't the collapse of the empire exactly what you had been expecting? ”
Consité, who was a little unconscious, said in a lost voice: "Yes, it is a world of beasts and cannibals, and since they killed Sister Anna, I have sworn to bury it!" ”
For a while, everyone was shocked!
"This is misleading!" Sylvia watched this scene and looked at her brother angrily, although she didn't know why Constance Dante reacted like that, but the girl's instincts were telling her what words Valence was trapping!
But Valence looked down on his sister and shook his head: "My dear sister, this is not misleading, it is just what he has been thinking in his heart. I had spent some time with him, for a short time, and I was still a child, but he gave me the impression that he was now, ruthless, and that he had decided a long time ago to bury the empire once and for all. And how can he be trusted by us. ”
At this time, Angros looked at his grandson meaningfully and said quietly, "You, very good. "The words are bland and unpredictable.
Valence, who was stared at by his grandfather's eyes and was a little hairy, stabilized his state of mind and calmly replied: "Of course it is, Your Majesty, that was when my father and I went to Constantinople. You know that thing all the better. Valence meant, of course, that his ridiculous father had enlarged the princess's belly.
"Good." But Angros merely repeated those two words.
At this time, the eyes of all the parliamentarians who looked at Conszé Dante changed completely, and they avoided it as if they were looking at a patient suffering from leprosy. Consitine himself admits that he wants to destroy the Empire, which means that he is the one who is in collusion with the Rastins. At this time, even if it was the Knight King, everyone looked at the somewhat neurotic young man with disgust.
"Grandpa, you can't ......" Sylvia certainly wouldn't believe the culprit who brought the empire to its end, but the words were undoubtedly a little pale.
"Can't you recognize reality at such times, my sister? The Knight King is just a good legend, and one person can't play a role at all. Valence looked at his sister with a sneer.
Andopulis also said to King Angros: "Your Majesty, now I think you will at least give us an explanation." ”
"Confession?" The old man glanced at the other party, "I don't think there is such a need, whether it is true or not is still between the two, of course, the safest way now is to lock up the Knight King and find out the truth of the facts." ”
"The truth?! Isn't that enough? Andopolis asked rhetorically.
"So are you the king or am I the king?" Angelos asked, forcing Andopoulis to shut up. "That's the end of it."
After speaking, under the instructions of the old man, the guards controlled the stunned Cons Dante and made him not move casually.
"And what about those who brought His Royal Highness the Knight King?" Someone suddenly remembered Vivien, since Constance, Dante was not safe, could those people still be trusted?
But Angelos didn't bother to pay attention to it, and turned to leave the venue.
"Whatever you want, kill or send to the Western Theater of Operations, I have no opinion." (To be continued.) )
