Eagle Byzantium

"Yes, the prince's plan to bribe my male master has already begun. So Queen, you must be steady. Once my male master takes control of the palace, he will naturally protect you and help you. But now the safety of other people is really It’s beyond our control, not even His Majesty the Emperor.”

"But my husband once insulted Mikhail and Eudocia."

"Please be sure not to have any doubts. This is not only my master's idea, but also the entrustment of your daughter and son-in-law."

"Gawain and Anna." Irene held the seat of the chair in surprise.

Belia nodded in the darkness, "So no matter what the prince says or does, you have to pretend to be confused and obedient."

At this time, the queen slowly sat back and smiled bitterly, "Of course, I have been like a walking zombie in this palace for twenty years. Isn't this what I am best at doing? In this life, the only wish I have is to When I see Anna and Gawain again, I also want to see their children, Holy Virgin Mary!”

Just as the queen finished praying to the Virgin for help, faint firelight and shouts came from outside the Brachna Palace, as if many people were fighting and killing near the Old Wall of Constantine.

"I have to leave. Your Majesty, Queen, please remember my master's words and take care of yourself." Belia covered her head again. Only then did Irene realize that she was wearing a nun's robe, and then the maid left. go.

Just after Belia left under the guidance of her maid, the early morning light slowly emerged from the long window carved with lily patterns, and Irene's tired face was illuminated even more palely—— There was a loud sound of boots outside, and soon her son John was followed by Mikhail, the captain of the guard who had been ignored by the emperor before, and many Varangian guards with terrifying beards. Of course, this group of Danes and Saxons all stood in the courtyard of the annex palace with axes and swords, scaring the queen's maids and eunuchs into hiding in the corner and shivering.

"Mother, just after I returned from my grandmother's place, I learned that the slaves in the orphanage had united with many members of the Athletic Party to initiate a commotion. Thanks to the timely suppression of the chief of guards and the outer palace guards, the entire emperor is now safe. I The prince came to visit his mother and Adyoan as soon as possible, standing outside the arch and said respectfully.

Eileen calmed down. She was calm now. Even now she could deal with her husband who had escaped from the battlefield of Philomelon. "John, your rhetoric has improved a lot now. It's not like you were a child at all."

Hearing his mother's words, John's face suddenly flashed with joy like a child being praised, and then Irene continued, "Thank you so much for your concern and loyalty to the captain of the guard. Last night, mother, I was so frightened that I couldn't sleep. Now, You can sleep peacefully with Adeyo.”

"But mother...it is said that the riot in the orphanage was caused by someone behind the scenes." Just as Irene stood up and prepared to leave, the prince suddenly brought up such a topic.

Irene was stunned for a moment, then remembered Belia's instructions, and looked at the eyes of the captain of the guard behind her son, and then seemed to suddenly remember something, "I remembered that a messenger came to Zaifu's mansion yesterday, and I talked for a while and then left, during which the messenger actually mentioned mobilizing people from the orphanage to increase the defense force of Brachna Palace.”

Immediately afterwards, the prince ordered the outer palace guards to break into the empire's official residence and quickly arrest a large number of officials and nobles who were just about to start work. Then another group of guards rushed to the residence of the imperial minister Burrill, and kept banging on the heavy When no one came to open the door for a long time, they angrily raised their axes and began to hack at the bolts.

The sound of doomsday passed through the elegant and beautiful home garden of the Prime Minister and reached the living room. While the slaves and family members were shouting and frightened, Burrill stood in front of the wall mirror calmly as usual, elegant and elegant. Slowly putting on the golden jacket for himself, this is the aristocratic official status of the highest rank in the empire. He gave the identity sign and said with a smile to the servants serving him, "The outer palace guards will finally be able to enter the palace soon, and their salary will be doubled. After all, the prince has spent a lot of effort to bribe them. Mikhail is a pa After all, it’s impossible for the son of a lowly peasant from Franconia to be with us.”

"Master..." The slave was so frightened that he almost cried.

"What are you afraid of? John has no real evidence in his hand. Besides, I am a disciple of Proseus, Silophenus and Maupulus. I am an out-and-out flower of the empire in rhetoric, literature and administration. I After working faithfully for so many years, the officials wholeheartedly admire me as a person.”

As soon as Zaifu finished speaking, the door was violently opened, and the palace guard soldiers, who were covered in armor and looked like scaly monsters, rushed in one after another. Burrill stood in front of them calmly, then smiled confidently. He said to his family, "Today's work may be a little special, but don't worry! I will still come back for dinner in the evening as usual."

Of course, Burrill's oath was not fulfilled. As soon as this "Flower of the Empire" was captured by the guards, she was thrown directly into the Agnes dungeon, the scariest and darkest place in the Brachner Palace. The dinner was wet. Mud.

What kind of rule is this? How dare they lock up the most honorable officials and the highest-ranking nobles of the empire here! Buril protested loudly in anger, but the cages around him were filled with cries of pain, mixed with the torture and scolding of the jailers. Through the narrow gap between the iron bars, Buril's eyes quickly became terrified as he secretly observed: most of those arrested were officials of the empire...

Before Buril could think of anything, he saw a group of people slowly walking over the winding dark corridor, holding various torture instruments in their hands, as if they were coming for his "high-level prison".

"Ducas Caesar, the former emperor of the empire, was imprisoned here..." Burrill was frightened by this sentence and shrank back, collapsing on the ground. He then discovered that there was a hunchbacked old jailer sitting next to the cell. He squinted his eyes, like a gray mouse, showing his incomplete and disgusting teeth. He pointed at the chair behind the prime minister and continued slowly, "Caesar was blinded by the Venetian glass mirror on this chair..."

"Ahhhhh!" The prime minister curled up in the cell and cried miserably.

The methods of the administrative head, Prince John, were extremely cruel and sharp. He directly bypassed any courts and procedures. He first relied on the testimony of the queen and the captain of the guard to accuse the imperial prime minister of suspected rebellion, and then tortured some imperial officials who were imprisoned in the dungeon to "collect" relevant evidence. Soon Buril "confessed" to his crimes and gave out that "my behind-the-scenes mastermind was the imperial Penipasebastos Nikephorus Brennus and his wife, the Purple Princess Dido Komnenos."
