Have no fear of escalation
Antonius concluded his speech with a bunch of threats on the citizens of Kastoria, then left the premise for Platia Dexamenis where he shall finish the remaining procedures in the hand over and takeover of the new government of the city. Before he leaves, he told Apostolos that he has just made the old man's work easier as he can now just record down what he said just now on that stage, especially the last part, copy multiple copies with those scribes and send it to the armies of Julian and Helio.
But the poor Apostolos has totally forgotten about what the Caesar has just said just now, his aging head simply cannot afford to let him keep that similar amount of memory power like when he was still young. With this he had to seek for help from his colleague, Alexios, standing by his side, who is perhaps the best in remembering things after dealing with numbers and accounts for a decade.
