"Your Excellency Michael Khair." Theodora smiled and said, "Paphragnia, is it some noble surname of Syris?" ”

The sweat on Mr. Fat Banker's face was even more: "Ah, it's not, it's not some illustrious surname......"

The ugly expression on Zoe's face next to him was almost gloomy and dripping. Paphragnia was originally just a place name outside Asia Minor, and those people who had no family heritage liked to use the name of their hometown as their surname.

"Your Excellency is modest, I still know my sister's picky tastes. If it weren't for some illustrious family, I am afraid that I would not have been able to enter her eyes......" Theodora was still smiling and stabbing the banker, and throwing in his sister's face, so that the fat banker almost choked out of his throat begging for mercy.

Finally, Asker couldn't stand it anymore, coughed and said:

"In short, the immediate urgency is to determine the revival of the Eastern Solomonic Empire as soon as possible, after all, the purpose of this crusade is only to restore Constantinople, but it does not say who will return to Constantinople after the recovery...... You can't build another Latin Empire, can you? ”

The Latin Empire is simply a dark history in the hearts of the two sisters. You must know that they were driven out of Constantinople by a group of crusaders, and although this short-lived Latin Empire soon fell into the hands of the Seljuks, the sisters still hold a grudge.

"What else do you need to say?" Zoe said contemptuously, "Of course, I will take over the regime in exile after the withdrawal from Constantinople, that is, the monarch of the country of Epirus, and I can't give it to a former empress who has abdicated, right?" ”

"No, I don't agree." Theodora said with a smile.

"What right do you have to disagree with ......"

"Because I'm a demigod." Theodora snapped his fingers, and the field of the frenzied cyclone spread out through the room in an instant.

Apperius quickly got to his feet, and the dark realm unfolded as well, quickly protecting Zoe and his wife. However, Asker also developed the realm of war, and the white-gold realm full of swords and swords overlapped with Theodora's Scourge realm, firmly holding Apperius's realm against it.

"My stupid sister." Theodora stared at the trembling Zoe couple in the opposite field, but still held on to the Zoe couple who fell to the ground, and said coldly, "Now it's the upper limit of the Demon Tide Lv.25." Your power, status, wealth, connections...... Worthless before my demigod power, which is enough to destroy heaven and earth! ”

"I ......," Zoe opened her mouth tremblingly, and suddenly shouted, "I have the support of the Orthodox Church!" The Orthodox Church has more than twenty demigods......"

"The Orthodox Church doesn't support you, Your Majesty Zoe." Patriarch Alexei slowly walked in from outside, "All the demigods of the Orthodox Church are currently on standby, once the Seljuk Empire invests in the power of the demigods, we also need to increase accordingly, otherwise the crusader war will risk the situation overturning." ”

"Actually." Apperius sighed, "Purely compared to the number of demigods, the Orthodox side is at a disadvantage, but if you add the high-end forces from the crusaders of other countries, as well as the ...... of the Azure Sword mercenary group Well, the seven demigods, the situation is completely reversed. ”

"So, it's not the Crusaders who are helping you to restore your kingdom, but Theodora who is unleashing the power of the Crusaders to restore her kingdom for herself. Zoe, we've been discussing jihad with the Holy See lately, and Innocent is explicitly supporting Theodora's accession to the throne. ”

"Even if we Orthodox support you, without the strength of His Majesty Theodora, it would be impossible to recover Constantinople." Patriarch Alexei added, "So we must only support His Majesty Theodora. ”

"No, no, no!" Under the cruel statement of these two demigods, Zoe, who couldn't support it, finally collapsed, "You can't give up on me!" I...... I am the legitimate daughter of Emperor Constantine, the ruler of the Epirus monarchy, and the king of the entire Syrius peninsula! ”

She howled hysterically, her eyes rounded in a fierce manner, and the fingers of her hands scratched nervously at her neck for blood.

Theodora turned her head to stare in disarray, and the two demigods stared at the mad Zoe in silence and determination, completely oblivious to her screams.

At this time, the fat banker Michael mustered up his courage and stood up in front of his wife, trying to stop the two demigods from harming her.

"Take it easy, Michael." "She's my granddaughter after all, and no one can hurt her in front of me," said Appilius in a deep voice. ”

"But she can't leave the palace next." Patriarch Alexei also added, "If she were to return to Athens, she would inevitably organize her forces to try to turn against her." The current crusaders will never allow civil strife and division. ”

"I, I, I know." "But I hope that at least she can save her life......

"As I said, I'll keep her alive." Then Theodora turned her head to look at the fat banker who had mustered up her courage, and nodded approvingly.

After the two were taken out by Alexei, Theodora let go of Aske's hand, sat down on the sofa relaxedly, and asked casually:

"Commander, ......"

"Still call me the head of the regiment?"

"Asker." Sheila asked thoughtfully, "If you were in that banker's place, would you stand up and protect me?" ”

"That's a must." Aske said, "Even if you kneel and beg for mercy, you have to save it." ”

"I don't like Asker on his knees begging for mercy." Sheila pursed her lips, but looked extremely satisfied with her expression.

"Instead of doing this kind of psychological construction, it is better to try to become stronger at the beginning, so as not to fall into this embarrassing situation." Asker corrected her.

"That's right." Appilios chimed in.

So the two young men found out that the elder was still beside him, and Theodora was embarrassed, but Aske snorted, and opened the topic and said:

"Your Excellency Apperius, we have opened the road from Thrace to Constantinople, is it necessary to integrate the forces of Ciris?"

"I'll let Quintus do it." Apperius nodded, "But before that, Theodora, you need to officially declare your existence to the outside. ”

"Announced...... Is it? Theodora looked at Asker with some embarrassment.

This is of course a must-do. After all, there was no "Theodora" in the world before, only "Sheila" as a mercenary, and now she must let Theodor** come to the stage first, and then she can take over the political legacy of her sister Zoe.

However, Theodora's official appearance meant Sheila's retirement...... In the future, it is estimated that there will never be time to stay in the Azure Sword Mercenary Group again.

"Or ......" Theodora took a deep breath, as if having made up some difficult decision, and was about to propose to his grandfather that "Aske appear with her co-emperor", when Asker preemptively said:

"That's right, and considering that the Crusaders are about to take Thrace and approach Constantinople, the sooner the better."
