The conversation in the chapel didn't last long.

In other words, when it is realized that Theodora has become a demigod, the end of this conversation is actually predestined.

As Apelios thought, all the current powers of the whole of Ciris, whether it was Olympia or the Orthodox Church, had a historic task of recovering Constantinople, and everything else had to be sidelined.

At present, the great enemy absolutely must not start an unwarranted split within itself.

However, due to past coup d'état, Theodora and Zoe have become incompatible with each other, forcing Apperius and the Orthodox Church to choose one or the other.

Zoe is chosen, then the Azure Sword will inevitably turn its face, and considering them and the intricate connections and strength behind them, this crusader holy war can end early.

So you can only choose Theodora, it's as simple as that.

Sheila came out of the chapel and beckoned to Asker, who was still chattering.

"That's it, Sheila?" Aske asked.

"That's it." Sheila nodded, "By the way, I'm going to restore Theodora's identity next." ”

"Okay." Asker laughed.

Captain Alwyn next to him silently opened his mouth wide. He had thought that Asque was a retinue of His Majesty Theodora (after all, he had followed him the whole time when he came in), but the familiar tone of their conversation seemed to be closer to some kind of equality.

and His Majesty on an equal footing...... Thinking of this, an unbelievable guess suddenly jumped into my mind.

After gaining the support of the Orthodox Church, Theodora's seizure of power was no longer in suspense, and now the last thing to do was to go to her sister for a showdown.

As for her sister, who is still in the dark, she should still be in the royal palace in Olympia City at this time, dreaming of regaining her country.

Walking on the way to the palace, Theodora couldn't hold back her excitement, and her steps couldn't help but get up quickly.

"I can't imagine it." She looked at the pedestrians on the side of the road and said with emotion, "Asker, what you said is actually true. ”

"What really?" Asker asked curiously.

"You were talking about 'the other way.'" Theodora looked back at him and smiled, "Become a mercenary, gain the power to change the world, and ...... Change the world. ”

"I didn't expect you to remember." Asker was also a little embarrassed, this was the excuse he used to kidnap the little empress on the eve of the fall of Constantinople, that is, to become a demigod and restore the kingdom on his own - in fact, he did not seriously evaluate the feasibility, but just said it casually.

"Of course." Theodora nodded, "Why else did I choose to go with you in the first place?" Just with your clever mouth? ”

"Did I make such a bad impression on you?" Aske said in surprise.

"Yes, very bad." Theodora laughed, "It's very eloquent, but it always feels unsteady, not to mention trying to recruit me, the Empress, to be a mercenary, and I really want to know what is going on in your head." ”

"Then it turns out that what I said is quite reliable, Your Majesty." Asker replied.

"Indeed." Theodora nodded, "Looks like I should give you a little reward." ”

"Reward?"

Theodora did not answer, but suddenly took his hand.

Her right hand was soft and warm, with a certain intoxicating touch. Aske subconsciously wanted to let go, but Theodora grinned brightly and grabbed his left hand firmly.

"Take it easy, my Co-Emperor Your Majesty, it's time to defeat the first enemy of our empire."

————————

Theodora stepped into the palace, holding Asker's hand all the way, ignoring the shocked crowd around her.

Most of the people who could stay in this palace were Apperius or Zoe's attendants, bodyguards, or bureaucrats, and of course they knew His Majesty Theodora.

At this time, seeing the previous emperor holding the hand of a strange man affectionately, walking forward all the way violently, everyone almost didn't drop their eyes.

Seeing His Majesty Theodora rushing towards Zoe's location, several of the guards brought by Zoe stepped forward to stop him:

"Your Majesty, please ......"

"Get out!" With Theodora's reprimand, the guards were immediately thrown against the walls on either side by the air current, unable to break free at all, and could only swing their limbs in vain, like fish pressed against the board.

In the halls of the palace, Zoe was still talking, while Apperius was smiling and listening, unable to find a chance to speak.

"I hope that when I return to Constantinople, at least the purple tapestries of the Golden Consul Palace will be kept for me by those savage Seljuks." With a certain swaggering triumphant air, Zoe said, "And our dormitories and back gardens......"

Speaking of the word "we", she suddenly paused, as if she finally remembered that she had a sister, and then her face turned cold:

"I just don't know where Theodora has gone, and whether she is alive or dead."

"And do you want her to be alive or dead?" Appilius said suddenly.

"Heh, grandpa, what does this have to do with what I want?" Zoe was keenly aware of her grandfather's temptation, and said coldly, "If she hadn't died, but had married some rude mercenary and did the menial work of washing and washing dishes every day, then I think it would be better to be stuck in Constantinople." ”

"But I'm the opposite, stupid sister." The gate was suddenly blown open by the storm, and Theodora rushed in with full aura, "Whatever happens to you, I hope you will live well—live to see how I have regained and carried forward the Eastern Solomonic Empire that my father left behind." ”

"Theodora!" Zoe stood up with a frosty face, and instantly understood what was going on.

Theodora's sudden appearance is absolutely inseparable from his maternal grandfather, Apelios!

"This is your sister?" Seeing that the sisters were tense as soon as they met, the banker Michael quickly changed the topic and asked.

"This is your sister?" Asker looked at the "tea art version" Theodora with clever makeup in front of him, and frowned in surprise.

"What's wrong?" Theodora sneered, "You're disappointed to see me alive? ”

"If you hadn't married a rude mercenary, I wouldn't mind recognizing you as a sister." Zoe stared in disgust as she held Asker's hand.

"This is Asker. Lepius. Achilles. Theodora said with an arrogant smile, "He is the current heir of the Achilles family in the imperial capital...... That's right, sister, it's the otherworldly family from the East whose lineage is equally noble. By the way, who is this one next to you? ”

"Contempt, contemptible, Michael, Paphragnia." The chubby banker hurriedly got up and bent over, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Your Majesty Theodora. ”

Zoe's face immediately seemed to be as cold as ice, because her "husband" had obviously made three mistakes at the beginning:

First, the posture is too humble. is obviously the husband of the empress, and his status is not inferior to the other party, but he subconsciously treats her with the flattery of the business world.

Second, Theodora had abdicated and should be addressed as His Highness and not His Majesty.

Third, slurred speech and stammering.

Of course, the most important thing is in appearance, his fat husband is indeed not as handsome and chic as the young man led by Theodora - even better looking than the few little white faces that Zoe himself raised, and has some kind of unique charm.

Therefore, Zoe felt embarrassed, and was completely compared to Theodora.
