Bab 573: The Unexpected

The Ecumenical Patriarch is starting to pity Giovanni Giustiniani, for he has such an unreliable father-in-law who made his hands dirty by doing this kind of treasonous things, but at the same time leaving all of the matters only to Giovanni himself evading from him when he is needed the most. And at the same time, the Ecumenical Patriarch finally now knows the true culprit behind this coup de'tat.

It cannot be Giovanni Giustinianni who started this coup, for obvious reasons. He is an Italian, a Lombard, and to put words in a harsher term, most of these senators, courtiers, merchants, only maintained friendship with the man only because they needed his protection, for they definitely have no guts to stand against an Ottoman army. But no matter what deeply in their mind, they still see Giovanni as an outsider, an alien who cannot be trusted.
