Rome Fell? I Backhandedly Married the Princess of the Empire

In 1204, Constantinople fell. The Roman Empire was torn into pieces, with the Crusaders looking at it from the outside and the nobles and tyrants separatist forces inside. Constantine originally wanted to live peacefully with his childhood sweetheart, the princess. But the treasury was empty, the army was hungry, the nobles were greedy, and the emperor was poor. Even the military pay given to soldiers was fake money mixed with lead. In this case, let's start with the nobles. It started with a dispute over military pay. One of the most dangerous young men in the exiled empire stepped onto the stage of power. Machiavellianism, war, reform, conquest. When Constantine looked back, the entire Mediterranean was already prostrate under the flag of the Roman eagle.
