Chapter 704 Confrontation

"It seems that Andrew is really stubborn. He still intends to be a poor dog, wagging his tail to show goodwill to his former master." Sesides sat in his room and ridiculed Andrew unscrupulously. His true attitude towards Andrew was exposed.

Soon it was time for dinner. As an upper class family, Cesides's pursuit of food was not just about deliciousness, but more about safety. They wanted to be able to survive the morning and have lunch or dinner. In other words, it was a narcissistic thing to say: It was a pity that such an excellent guy died in vain.

All I saw was the taster standing trembling in front of the food. She was a woman with eastern ethnic ancestry, black hair and black eyes. I don’t know if it was because she ate a lot of delicious food as a taster, which made her look a little plump, which just fits the aesthetic of the Greeks.

She seemed very nervous, after all, she was a newcomer, but it was this nervousness alone that caught Cecil's attention.

Looking at this beauty who came from the desert of the East, Cecilius couldn't help the heat in his heart. He only saw a hint of strong desire flash across his expression, but it flashed by like a shooting star.

He just stood up and walked to the side of the taster with a swagger. Of course, he was a nobleman. In this little world of his own, everyone around him, whether it was the guards or the waiters, were his slaves.

“It would be such a pity if such a beautiful thing disappeared accidentally!” The taster stood in front of the food, and it could be seen how scared she was at that moment.

Cecil looked at the woman as if he was admiring a flower bud about to bloom, with a look of greed on his face.

He smiled evilly, reached out to pick up the fork with only two tines, picked up a piece of meat, handed it to the taster, and sneered, "Often, only the nobles..."

"Eat it! This is a delicacy that only nobles can afford. The poor people have never even seen such a delicacy!" Cesides' smile became more and more ferocious, as if torturing the innocent beauty in front of him had become his pleasure. It was time for him to vent his anger for the "injustice" he suffered at the hands of Andrew.

Even with such deliciousness, the woman did not show any greed on her face. On the contrary, she showed fear.

Although this is a delicacy, if someone whispers in your ear, "If you eat it, you will die," then these things are no longer tempting delicacies, but sweet poison.

The poor woman was trembling with fear. She stared at the food at her mouth with wide eyes and her breathing became rapid.

Seeing her frightened look, Cesides couldn't help but burst into laughter, "Hurry up, eat it, I'm starving!"

Cecil urged, fork in hand, shoving food into the poor woman's mouth.

The woman struggled for a few times, but finally couldn't resist Cecil's brutality, so she opened her mouth and let Cecil stuff the food into her mouth.

"Yes, yes, that's it!"

Cecil grinned grimly, as if torturing this defenseless woman was his pleasure.

"My Lord! My Lord!"

At this time, a guard was heard running in from outside. He was so hurried that he rushed in and rudely interrupted the torture of Cicedes.

"Oh, damn, what!"

This frightened Cecilius so much that he trembled violently. At this time, he heard the taster scream. It turned out that the sharp fork pierced her lip.

Cesides was angry. He turned around and glared at the soldier who had rushed in front of him and was at a loss. He threatened: "You'd better bring me good news, otherwise I will make you live a life worse than death!"

"Yes, yes, my lord!" The soldier said tremblingly, and then carefully handed over the parchment letter in his hand, and then said: "This is a letter from the province, urgent."

"Okay! Okay!" Cecil said impatiently, put down his fork, walked over, snatched the parchment letter from the soldier's hand, opened it roughly, and read it carefully.

“This, this!”

Looking at the contents of the letter, Cesides' hands couldn't help but tremble.

"Robbers, these robbers!" Ceciles' breathing became more and more rapid. He threw the parchment in his hand to the ground fiercely, and then, feeling still unsatisfied, he jumped up and stomped on it twice.

"Damn it, damn it, these damn bandits!"

At this time, Sesides turned around and looked at the soldier who was delivering the letter beside him. "You are from Ankara, you should know the situation at that time."

"Yes, yes, sir!" The soldier hesitated for a moment, then continued, "For some reason, the Isaurian bandits gathered at the provincial border. There are thousands of them. I don't know why they are here, but what I can understand is that they are coming for us."

"Groups of bandits and caravans passing through my territory..." Sisides quickly came to his senses in his anger, and he seemed to have found a corresponding connection between them.

"It must be like this, it must be like this!" Cesides suddenly realized, and he slammed the table hard, trying to hide his excitement.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Let's go, let's go!"

Cesides was no longer in the mood to eat. He waved his hand and shouted to the waiter beside him, "What are you still standing there for? Go clean up now!"

"My Lord, where are we going?"

"This is no longer a place for us to stay!" Cecides said coldly, "Flavius ​​Luca, the lowly slave, must have colluded with those Isaurian bandits. They are now planning to put pressure on both sides. If Flavius ​​Luca returns to Constantinople, he will definitely arrest me secretly."

The guards hurriedly began to prepare. At this time, Cecilius seemed to have suddenly thought of something. He grabbed the soldier who delivered the letter and said, "Now, I want you to go back immediately and tell the dukes stationed in each of my cities not to care about anything. As long as they see the carriage escorted by heavy soldiers, they should immediately send out the army to surround and kill them all!"

However, when Cecilius issued this order, Luca's carriage had already headed towards Constantinople along the northern part of Cappadocia. So, if the garrison dukes of various towns in Cappadocia received this order, Luca would have entered the Golden Horn and returned to Constantinople.

In the shaking carriage, Liginiya was bored, so she asked Luca: "What are you going to do with Cicedes?"

"He should no longer exist." Luca said decisively, "At least in the subsequent deployment, we must first eliminate this uncertainty factor. At least Cappadocia should not become a major concern for Asia Minor."

In Andrew's villa, Andrew didn't know what to do. When he was struggling between loyalty and betrayal, he heard a knock on the door.

The maid ran to open the door, but just as the door was opened a crack, it was pushed open roughly.

The maid screamed and fell to the ground. When she looked up, she saw a large number of soldiers rushing in. They didn't care about the maid, but walked around them and rushed inside.
