Elendil walked out with a puzzled face, wearing the longsword of the Knights of the Dawn, but still wearing the eagle armor of the Imperial Guard, and the purple horsehair helmet in his arms, standing in front of Theodore.

He seemed to have thought about it for a long time before deciding. Stand up straight and give Theodore a standard Roman salute before speaking, "Tyrenus Flag Bearer invites you in, Caesar!"

Theodore looked at him with some astonishment, then smiled and said, "Then I will gladly accept it!"

With that, Theodore calmly walked behind the door, and Elendil followed him half a step with his head bowed as a sign of loyalty.

When he was about to enter the door, he inadvertently glanced at Will who was standing at the door, and his originally calm eyes suddenly became dodgy, but he saw that Will did not blame him, and looked at him with a smile, which made Elendil feel a little relaxed.

The living room is not big, because it is a room in the castle so the lighting situation is not very good, the two originally open floor-to-ceiling windows are tightly closed at this time, thick curtains block the view, only the candlesticks around the house and the ventilation window at the top of the room to illuminate the room, it seems a little dim.

Helena sat in the innermost part of the living room, the wide chair made her already weak body look even more petite, as if the whole person was sunk in the chair, perhaps the light was too unclear for Theodore to even see her expression, and the living room was surrounded by knights with swords, standing beside him with helmets, looking at Theodore with complicated expressions, and Elendil behind him.

Just like Herodotus, they didn't know what kind of posture they should use to meet these two people, and the inexplicable feelings made these knights unable to even speak.

As knights, they could all understand what Elendil was doing, and they could imagine why a proud Knight of the Dawn would do it. But isn't there such a thing as a saying - understandable, but unacceptable.

This is probably the creation of people by current events, right? This shijie is always so imperfect.

A burly Knight of the Dawn stood on Helena's side, with a long cloak of a glorious cross draped over his broad shoulders, a silver knight's sword hanging from his waist, and the coat of arms of the Knights of the Dawn painted on the chest of his burqa.

The knight was watching Theodore walk in, a gentle smile on his somewhat flabby face, and his eyes were still as bright as a young man's, though his temples were already a little gray.

"I suppose you must be the Venerable Lord Theodore Julian, right?" the knight's tone was calm, and his soft expression made people feel like a spring breeze: "Caesar of the Romans?"

"If so, you should be the Lord Terenus. Theodore smiled, the corners of his mouth slightly raised to reveal his white teeth: "In the name of Caesar, welcome to you!"

As he said this, Theodore casually glanced at Helena next to her, but the girl lowered her head and was silent as if she had fallen asleep.

"Well, I think I should thank you first of all for your generosity!" said Terenus, "not only for the help of us who are downcast, but also for your protection of Princess Helena, and for the preservation of the blood of the Pendragon family!

"About this ......" Theodore turned, pulled the knight behind him, pushed him in front of him, and said with a smile, "I think you should be more grateful to this brave and sacrificial knight!

Elendil looked a little flustered, looked at Terenus crampedly, and choked her throat: "Lord Terenus...... I ......"

"You don't have to! Elendil, my good boy. The flag bearer walked up to the knight and shook his head with a smile: "He who reverses his oath has no right to look down on the faithful! You are more qualified than all of us to call yourself a knight! You have fulfilled your oath and fulfilled the orders of those to whom you are loyal with everything you have, and there is nothing to be ashamed of! You should be proud of it!"

“xiexie。 ”

"But speaking of which, I have a proposal, I wonder if the honorable Lord Julian is interested?" Tyrenus suddenly looked at Theodore behind Elendil, and his face was gentle: "Let's talk!"

"Tell me, I'll use my own reason to judge. Theodore smiled and said, "I wonder what kind of proposal it is?"

"I'm sure you're well aware of Princess Helena's identity and her indisputable inheritance to the Empire. Terenus said tentatively, and after seeing Theodore nod, he continued: "And the current situation is that we must unite! Otherwise, the north may also be occupied by the orcs! All the northern lords must unite to resist the attack from the south." ”

"There's no doubt about that. Theodore agreed, "And we're trying." ”

"It would be much easier if that were the case. Terenus smiled lightly, "The North must unite under the same banner!And in this regard, Pendragon is the only option to unite all!The Empire will be revived in the North!All human armies will return to the same banner!"

"And the Romans will also join this sacred banner and become one of us, sending troops to fight for Pendragon. Terenus said in a deep voice, "In return, your ownership of Haringos and Talboa will be recognized, your identity will be recognized, and the Romans will be an autonomous province without any jurisdiction. ”

With that, Terenus looked at Theodore, and Cetu saw in his face the answer he wanted. Almost all eyes began to converge on him, and the sudden silence made the knights' mouths thirsty, and the palms of their swords began to moisten.

"So, have we come to an agreement? ”

Theodore did not answer, but turned around and walked towards the door with a calm face, stopped in front of a chair, and turned his head with a smile: "Tsk......! Very generous offer too. ”

"I'm sure many people are unlikely to refuse, and it seems that only if you agree to such a lucrative offer, you won't be taken as a fool. Theodore whispered, and the knights on the side smiled happily and easily.

"So I don't think Brenus or Ultok would have turned down such a lucrative offer. Theodore said calmly, looking at Elendil, who was still standing there: "Go and prepare the salute and horses for the gentlemen, and send you off today!"

"My lord......" Elendil panicked, a little embarrassed in the middle. The knights next to him also looked at Theodore with shocked faces, not knowing what was happening.

"If you are not satisfied with these conditions, we can talk again!" Tyrenus did not look annoyed at all, but seemed to accommodate Theodore: "It's nothing, we can sit together calmly and discuss." ”

"You might want to talk to Brenus or Ultok and see if they'll accept it. Theodore laughed and replied, "But I won't, I can protect Helena, for she is my friend, and I have made a promise to two men, one of whom will die because of me!" ”

"So, we can be friends. But that will never happen!" Theodore's face was firm, and he squinted his eyes and looked straight ahead: "So, so be it, you can rest in Caesarea, regain your strength, and leave as you see fit, I will not hinder you!"

With that, Theodore turned away without looking back, and strode towards the door, leaving Elendil alone, hesitating to follow.

"Theodore!"

"Theodore. Helena stood up suddenly, and called out to the figure.

Helena looked at him, she hesitated for a moment, put her hands on her chest, resolutely raised her head, and looked at him firmly: "What if...... What if, I say, I ask you?"

"I beg you, help me. I can't give you anything, but if you can, please help me. ”

Helena stood there, and the sudden rise of courage made her stand up, standing proudly in the center of the living room, with a graceful posture, pursing her mouth tightly, waiting for the other party's reply, but a trace of fear in her heart made her little hands tremble a little.

Terenus stood behind her, trying to open her mouth several times to say something, but she didn't know what to say, or not to say nothing.

To be sure, Terenus had never had any illusions about the princess, though he was willing to follow her—what could a princess who was deep in the palace and had little experience in the world do?

In fact, when he knew that it was the princess who survived and not the emperor himself, Terenus was a little disappointed, although he knew that the proud young emperor would not be able to escape, but if he was still alive, with the support of many northern lords and many allies, even the empire was not a myth!

But this princess ............ Although her brave but somewhat impulsive actions surprised Terenus, she didn't think it would change anything. What can we do even if we are really friends? Politics is always a game without feelings, and interests cannot be moved, so can we still expect to be impressed by friendship?

............Theodore suddenly laughed, and laughed so happily that it was as if something that had been lost had returned, and the joy of being lost and regained filled his heart.

The sudden laughter made Terenus frown a little—he didn't think it was funny, and so did the other knights.

Only Helena, as if relieved, even the corners of her originally tight mouth rose easily - Theodore, the scoundrel, was only half a prince, and he never knew how to make the girl happy!

"Helena, my dear Helena!" Theodore raised the corners of his mouth, his eyes widened, and he took a long breath and turned around, "Are you not in my castle now?"

"Elendil, go and call Mehemoth, and have someone bring a map!" Theodore smiled and patted the knight on the shoulder, "I think we should plan what we should do next!"

(Yesterday, I was quick to talk and lost a book friend.) Fang Cai suddenly woke up and hurried over to daoqian.

That's it, thank you for the reward of Snow Love~)
