Eagle Byzantium

This Lady Godhild was born to play both the role of a man and a woman. The beautiful scenery of England nurtured her to be graceful and bold, so she sometimes "warned" Gawain and sometimes "instigated" Anna. Similarly, Gawain regarded her as a confidante, and Anna regarded her as a close friend. Her words hit Anna's "vital point", making the little girl tremble and shy, but she had to listen.

"Take Gawain to this beautiful manor, lure him to your bed, make him covet your tender and beautiful water grass, and let him be inseparable from you. Even when he is on the expedition, he has to write to you from time to time, always worried that you will be seduced by other handsome courtiers and lords."

"But who would seduce me? I didn't run away from the Palace of Brachna to show off my charm in Cilicia. Besides, what attracted me to the barbarian was not that..."

"You are focusing on the wrong point - now let's go back to my first sentence."

"How to seduce - seduce -" Anna blushed and bit out this word, lowering her head even lower.

So the other party told her that she just needed to create the right opportunity at all costs, such as inviting Gawain to the manor for a rest, so what practical reason was needed: when a woman is on the bed, she will be wrapped in armor of thinking and worrying; while a man on the bed, as long as he is in the mood, he only needs to hold a straight lance. All the temptations were just to achieve this goal, and then Godhild leaned over Anna's ear again, touching her hot earlobe, and whispered something "Eve's words of the terrible devil fruit".

Now Anna understood, she wished she had asked her sister about this topic earlier. The experience and tactics provided by Godhild were simply not comparable to a girl of the level of the little sunfish.

After the sun shifted from the position of Virgo (after 1 pm), in the courtyard of Adana City, Anna was wearing butterfly sleeves. Swinging her skirt, she walked to Gawain who was resting under the tree, and shook the key in front of him twice, "Hey, big barbarian, it will take three or four days for the entire Seleucid army to be mobilized and the hermit and brother Baldwin to arrive here."

"Hmm."

"Listen. I heard that there is a very beautiful manor by the Adana River. I want you to escort me there to stay." Anna spoke a little stumblingly.

This frightened Gawain greatly. He threw down the rolled leaf in his hand and touched Anna's hot forehead. "Are you infected with malaria? Are you afraid of the cold? And you feel sleepy and uncomfortable?"

"No, I heard that the former Turkic Bey collected a lot of precious manuscripts in that manor, including literature, theology and medicine, so I have to sort them out. Anyway, Sister Godhild has promised that those books are mine." After saying this, Anna sweated in the sunlight: she didn't even expect it. She didn't feel any burden when she said she was panicking. She couldn't help but think of how she had discussed with her mother in the Brachna Palace and deceived her father, the greatest and wisest emperor of the empire.

Hearing this. Gawain nodded and breathed a sigh of relief. "Okay, I'll go get the horses ready and ask the fat eunuch Stavrajos to accompany you. It just so happens that you've been tired for Godhild a few days ago, so it's good to relax."

"Okay. Okay, I'll go get the suitcase ready." Anna covered her throbbing heart and pulled the straps. Talking.

At the gate of Adana, Muzafi Adin and Dim were sitting there dejectedly. It was unclear why the master didn't take them with him, but only took the hateful fat eunuch to the destination.

The procession was small, because it was peaceful and tranquil here. Farmers were scattered in the fields, and the autumn dew was stained on the green leaves of the forest. As usual, Gawain rode in the front. Today, Sabina seemed to understand something. As a female mount that witnessed her master's two love affairs, and after foreshadowing a new one through the spirit of animals, she was a little hesitant and uneasy, shaking her head and neighing. She herself didn't know who her mistress was.

Anna in the sedan chair kept adjusting her breathing nervously, remembering Godhild's "teachings". The forest turned around in front of her, and then slowly flowed towards the Adana River at the estuary. White waves and ships on it appeared in front of her - there was also a gray rock embankment across the river, which also served as a bridge.

At the embankment, the water flow was led to form a waterfall like raw silk, pushing the paddle wheel to make a huge creaking sound, turning the mill on it. This exquisite device made Anna puzzled for a while, but there was a small wooden tower at the entrance of the mill, on which there were several garrisoned soldiers, some Franks and some Turks, all under Baldwin's command. They were assigned not only to guard the manor, but also to supervise the mill. In the room next to the mill, there was a little accountant. He was not an engineer, but just here to collect money from farmers around - if ten bags of wheat flour were ground, one bag must be left as a reward for the mill.

So this little accountant, to put it bluntly, was the identity of a tax collector, and was also the least popular role among the locals. Gawain rode on his horse, looking at the man who bowed to him with a humble smile, and his heart couldn't help but evoke memories of the past, the emperor's tax collector who turned into a mummy.

Across the long causeway, there is a hazelnut forest and apple trees on the opposite side, and several small fish ponds and lakes over there. The Crescent-style mansion made of milky white stone is located in the middle. As Godhild said, it is really beautiful, which makes Gawain and Anna feel relaxed and happy.

The kitchen and dining room of this mansion are actually built under the dam, separated from the water outside by only a wall, so there are really clear ripples on the wall, which makes Anna, who is standing on the floor watching all this, exclaim. Gawain stays in the study full of wall shelves, looking at the rolls of handwritten manuscripts tied by ribbons, and shouts to Anna across the staircase, "Aren't you here to collect manuscripts?"

After a while, Anna sat on a high chair among the complex patterns and walls, with many manuscripts piled in front of her, and she was very excited. It is true that there are extremely precious ancient manuscripts here, covering everything - but it's a pity that the group of Frank barbarians don't know the treasure at all.

Since Gawain was not interested in these things, he went to play in the garden of the mansion.

About an hour later, at dusk, Anna suddenly put down the manuscript, "Hey! What am I doing? I am so engrossed in reading that I have forgotten the original business!"

Then, she hurried to the window and saw Gawain still wandering in the nursery and garden under the setting sun, so she opened the box, which contained a comb, a bronze mirror, a dressing box and other things.

"Your Highness, Your Highness." At this moment, the mysterious voice of Stavragius came from the porch. (To be continued ~^~)
