Eagle Byzantium

The princess's face immediately turned redder, "We can't get the forgiveness of our family and lovers." Her eyes were looking at the silk sac hanging around Gawain's neck. The hair inside was obviously golden and very eye-catching.

It seems that the smart Anna immediately understood that Gawain did not live the life of an ascetic monk after going to Italy to fight, but she was not afraid. In her small body, there was the pride and generosity of a princess of the Roman Empire. Degree, even if her father deprives her of her title, the same is true in her soul.

However, Gawain was a little uneasy and changed the subject, "What a pity about the collection of books in St. John's Church."

"That doesn't matter, it's all in my memory. Anna will take everything and follow you, the great barbarian, and I hope you won't forget your oath. Apart from these, Anna has nothing now. Gawain, Help me lift myself up higher, otherwise this drink will pour down my throat." Although Anna's voice was weak, her spirit was high and high. Wen then bent his arms behind her hair and hugged her delicate neck and back, so that Anna could lean on her and half-sit up. This posture was almost like a hug. Anna's eyes were Turning around shyly and uneasily, she was also awkwardly looking for a topic, "Will you go to the Holy City?" After taking two sips of wine, she asked.

"Go to Asia Minor first." Gawain's tone did not contain the enthusiasm and persistence of other pilgrims.

"I will follow you and help you plan, no, help me plan the king's career." Anna just curled up and sat in Gawain's arms, her behavior seemed completely inconsistent with her words.

"Tomorrow we will go to the north of the Golden Horn, find Venetians or other merchants, and try to find a boat to go out to sea from the small port of the fishing village on the other side of Spring Valley."

"Yes." Anna nodded, indicating that she would listen to Damanzi's arrangements.

Soon, Muzafi'adin took off the roasted deer meat and put out the fire vigilantly. Then he brought it in - after a while, the military servant hugged his own blanket and walked out with a grunt. While tearing his own portion of meat, he sat under the eaves and looked at the long ice skates with his head raised and wrinkled. Eyebrow, "It seems that we have to rest outside tonight again, one after another. The Grand Duke is like this, as long as he gets along with a beautiful woman, regardless of age or skin color, some unusual things will start to happen. Already..."

While he was still complaining, the Grand Duke who came out hit him on the top with his fist, and Muzhafi Adin grinned. Sitting on the steps under the eaves, he held his head and looked at Gawain standing next to him, "Tonight you go to the stables and stay with the Slavic hunter. You have to watch over the people as well as the horses. I am outside the house, too. Be on guard duty and be careful not to start a fire casually.”

"Shouldn't you be with the princess?" Some cunning Turkic military servants whispered.

Anna, who had eaten food in the house and lay down to rest, tilted her ears. He vaguely heard the words of the military servant, and immediately turned nervously inside, his eyes widened: Why so fast? Although I had made a plan before, if I succeeded in escaping, I was prepared to be alone with Gawain. Anyway, I wanted to completely cut off the escape route, but...

So Anna nervously put her hands under the blanket. He took out the crocus from the pendant around his neck, took a deep breath, and cleared his mind. Then he touched the clothes he was wearing, which were precision embroidered. It was also scented, very soft and appropriate, which is okay; then I touched my arm. Although there was a scratch when I escaped, it was not serious; as for that time, it was also appropriate, royal female etiquette This basic knowledge is also recorded in the book. Anna read it "before getting married"; in the end, Anna touched her chest with her hand. , and suddenly felt a little discouraged. Gawain's silk sac contained golden hair, which must have belonged to a Varyag woman, just like Eudocia, but here, he could only use the word "implicit" to describe the analogy. , like delicate flower bones, cannot be compared with Varyag's women at all. Even if you turn sideways and squeeze hard, still——

"What if the barbarian doesn't like the gentle hills in the capital, but only likes the majestic Olympia Peak in Xiaoya? Even if he accommodates himself, it makes me full of frustration for the first time, so what?" Anna's Countless weird scenes and thoughts flashed through my little head in an instant, making me confused. I grabbed the tie on my collar with my little hands and blushed.

But outside the board door, Gawain's reply was very low, but very clear, "How could such a thing happen now? What's more, it is extremely disrespectful to Her Royal Highness in a place like this. Take a short break We’ll stay overnight, and tomorrow we’ll sneak through the forest and swamps to Spring Valley.”

Gawain's worries and decision-making are not unreasonable. The emperor's cavalry and spies are moving around and setting up traps. If they don't cross the strait, they will be in great danger. Even Anna calmed down from her short-term shyness, and repeatedly blamed herself for thinking like this, how could she be worthy of the Virgin Mary. After a while, she listened to the sound of Gawain's footsteps pacing back and forth outside, and fell into a daze. Go to sleep.

At this moment, time in the imperial capital seemed to have frozen. The people waiting outside the cathedral, who had already had backaches, could not help but begin to complain and question in a low voice. Brenus also tapped his finger on the shoulder blade anxiously. Know what to do well.

In the annex where the queen was, Alexios had dazed eyes and swaying body. After arranging the search task, he walked back to Irene's bed with the crown thrown down by Anna, and then stared at his little daughter. Dido Comnenus.

"Father..." Looking at her father's eyes, Dido's tone began to become unstable, and she was very scared.

"Dido, they all betrayed their father and deceived me, not only your sister, but also your fiancé Gawain." Alexios replied, "I was so benevolent back then that I should have known better. Execute that shameless barbarian. If I had done this earlier, I would not have lost Anna..." At this point, he began to choke. Queen Eileen, who was sitting on the couch, also became silent.

Later, under Dido's exclamation, the eunuchs put the bride's dress and the crown in His Majesty's hand on her body, "I am too lazy to look for this unfaithful and unfaithful man and woman, Anna." I don’t deserve to continue to support you at all. With the surname of Komnenos, I will remove her identity as the purple princess now, so Dido, you now take over all the glory that originally belonged to Anna, and complete this sacred ceremony for the sake of your father and the Komnenos family. Bar!"

"What are you going to do, what are you going to do!" Irene was like a female animal protecting her cubs, trying to pounce on her little daughter, but Alexius stepped forward and separated her appropriately, "You are The pregnant holy woman will continue to rest for the time being.”

"How could this happen!" In the panic, Dido, who was wearing the crown, was only thinking about the mechanical bird that the blue-eyed barbarian borrowed from her hand, and tears of hesitation and helplessness were shed. She never expected that , it was originally she who pressed on that mechanism. Wasn't this what she had agreed with her father? And that blue-eyed barbarian also personally agreed in the sacred and noble hall to marry him on the other side of the strait on the golden festival next year!

But why, according to his father, it was his sister and the blue-eyed barbarian who ran away and disappeared without a trace since then, while he stayed and became a poor temporary replacement actor in a tragic opera.

Why......

"From then on, the name Anna Komnenos was not allowed to appear in the empire's books and documents, only Apata Philotes (a combination of the names of the two goddesses of deception and lust in Greek pagan mythology) was allowed. Come instead." The emperor's angry voice still echoed in Dido's ears.

The absurd wedding was finally completed in secret. Dido covered her face, wore a heavy crown, and secretly shed tears of sadness. She walked arm in arm with Brenus and walked onto the terrace of the Holy Apostles' Cathedral to accept the wedding. With the heartfelt blessings of countless people, no one knows what the Princess in Purple is like. Since the emperor approves, no one cares whether it is Dido or Anna.

But on the other hand, Alexios actually did not give up the search for Gawain and his daughter, even if it was just for revenge.

This shrewd emperor keenly felt that, according to common sense, it was the most reasonable way for Gawain and Anna to hide in the pilgrim camp where nearly 100,000 people were mixed. But there are many people, and the ears and eyes are mixed. The cunning Gawain will definitely consider this. Moreover, the other party is also a well-known hero among the pilgrims. It is absolutely impossible to bring a noble and elegant little girl without arousing everyone's speculation.

So, where will Gawain go.

"Mikhail, you said Anna has been abducted by Gawain. Did you see this with your own eyes?"

"Yes, Gawain seemed to be taking the princess along the St. Atkins Gate. His horse was very fast, and we couldn't catch up if we walked along the aqueduct. All three of us witnessed this. ." Mikhail replied.

"No, that's just Gawain's deception." After Alexios stabilized, he drew a line on the map with his finger, heading in the north direction, "Assasidus, mobilize Chalcedon Fortress immediately. The navy inside will also use chains to blockade the entire Golden Horn, especially the Venetian ships sailing out of the bay. Please pay special attention to them before releasing them. With his own bodyguards, he left the gate of Komnenos and went to the opposite side of the Golden Horn to search on the land - remember, Assasitus, if he met Apat Philotes, she would be with that * If the *barbarians dare to resist, use swords, spears, bows and arrows, or even fire, to kill them on the spot. This is my order! If I encounter them, I will do so without hesitation. "

"Yes, my majesty." Asasidus, the reinstated commander of the great count of the navy, agreed, stroking his chest. (To be continued ~^~)
