Eagle Byzantium
Chapter 30 The Widow's Fingertips
Francesco was entrusted by Gawain to supervise the camp and ships, so he did not come to the banquet, so Gawain was the third and last one to arrive.
In the hall, the banquet was in Saracen style, with a lively meal-sharing system for dancing and music. After the dancers had begun to leave, Gawain walked in from the horseshoe-shaped doorway holding a sword, and then Inglina watched from behind the curtains and gauze. Looking at him.
It must be admitted that Inglina fell in love with Gawain passionately after the second glance. She could only blame her limited vision during the day and could not clearly see the tall warrior standing on the bow of the ship.
Then everyone at the banquet saw that when Gawain lowered his head to find a seat, the widow's head was constantly turning along Gawain through the curtain. Taticius raised his eyebrows and faced Diognis. He looked at his eyes, lowered his head tacitly and started eating.
"I have brought a complete army with me on this trip, including infantry and cavalry..." Gawain, who was sitting cross-legged and relaxed on the blanket in the Saracen style, said this to Ingrina.
"My husband has passed away!" The words popped out of the widow's mouth carelessly. Diognis, who was holding a dagger over there, almost pierced his breast. Then the widow herself felt that the situation was embarrassing. , and hurriedly changed his words and continued, "So I know very little about the military formation..."
Gawain pouted and nodded, and then he felt that he could move closer to the core topic, "This time I brought the army to rescue the important city of Corinth and to prevent the Norman bandits from advancing further towards Thessalonica. . Do you have any important information to share with me now?
"Yes, no, no!" The widow's answer left everyone present at a loss. Gawain frowned, wondering if Eudocia's sister had been staying in this country for a long time. Although she was rich, she But she lacked insight, or maybe she was frightened by the news of the Norman gangster attack and became mentally unstable. So the earl commander stood up, held the letter respectfully with both hands, walked to the curtain in front of the host's seat, and handed it over, "This is a letter written by your distinguished sister from the imperial capital to you, regardless of the reason. Whether it is justice in the empire or personal friendship, I will do my best.”
Inglina's hand stretched out, and then stopped in front of the letter and scroll handed by Gawain. Gawain then handed his hand forward an inch, while Inglina's hand moved back an inch, still hanging on the There. Gawain moved his hand back an inch, and Inglina's hand moved forward an inch, but did not touch the letter and scroll.
Next to them, Titicius and Diogenes were eating their meals and drinking wine with indifferent expressions.
It took a long time for Gawain to suddenly realize, so he half-knelt down, and according to the custom of the Frankish land, he held the widow Yujie's finger and kissed the ring on it, but Inglina's finger refused to leave, so she kissed her again in desperation. After getting down, the widow said nothing and took it back. After all, she needed to be more dignified here.
"Is there anything I can do in return?"
It seemed that it was finally the turn of substantive matters. Gawain was very excited and couldn't help but show off the aura of a money man, "Now I have to support two thousand to three thousand people, as well as hundreds of war horses and pack horses, and Even if the empire’s money supports the repairs, it’s already too expensive to get here.”
The widow nodded, "This is not a big problem. I will immediately ask the steward to allocate some grain and money, and transport them from the market in Thessalonica to here by sea. It is very easy to replenish supplies and equipment." ”
Then, the widow stopped and said, "In the Kadmea Fortress not far from here, a civilian army is still resisting the Norman bandits. I hope you can take the lead in sending your men to escort some supplies there."
"Yes, my dear lady." Gawain thought about it and agreed politely.
"That's the problem?" Ingrina said with a little anxiety and curiosity. Gawain looked at her, then shook his head and said that was it. Then the widow announced that the respectable guests who came from afar could rest in the rooms of the mansion as they pleased. Then she stood up and announced that the banquet ended happily and successfully, and left accompanied by the maids.
"Hey Gawain, you have to accept this widow. You know how many people from Venice to Crete want to remarry her. It's rare that she expresses her love for you." After the banquet, in the corridor, the watchman tightly Following Gawain, he strongly suggested, "Marry her, and you will be able to dominate the world in Moria, and you will become a prominent figure in the empire in one fell swoop."
"The mole on the tip of her eyebrow is worth trading three rich cities for." Titicius was also encouraging from behind.
"We're going to Italy, right? There's no need to get involved here - if I rescue Corinth now, it would be enough to ask her for some money; but if I really marry her, I will be trapped here in the future. "Gawain turned around, raised his hand and patiently explained to his men, "Once I am trapped here, I have to hand over my military duties and accompany this widow to plant olives and grapes and inspect the spider-like things in the silk weaving factory. Busy female worker." Then, Gawain used the moonlight to make a gesture shadow on the wall towards them. It was a "man riding a horse", "Shush pee pee (sound of shouting at the mount), women are like this. riding male Those who treat people as horses have countless bridles and riding whips. They will give you food and sweet words, and they will whip you and spur you. You are tamed by short-sighted women, and Gawain doesn't like it."
Upon hearing this, Sabina poked her head out of the stable and neighed twice in dissatisfaction at her master.
The veins on Diogenes' head were all popping out, "Sure enough, you still have evil intentions towards the eldest princess!"
"Your wild thoughts are totally inconsistent with your dress. You should hold an ink box, wear a Greek robe, and go to the imperial capital to teach classes and teach those children to read Homer's epic." Gawain was most annoyed by the guard's random associations, while Taitishius kept nodding his head, not knowing what he agreed with.
Then, the three of them walked to the moonlit open space in the garden, and Gawain announced, "Let's stop talking about this. We are facing an ominous number of Norman bandits. Of course, I understand how powerful they are. We can't measure them by the quality of pirates or even the Cornian army."
At this time, Diogenes also regained his fighting spirit, "Yes, the ghosts of my father and brother are still waiting for me to take revenge on these evil thieves."

"So it is better to be cautious. Sir Titius and Francisco will stay in Collins with a large force to guard against the Norman branch attacking from the sea. Military discipline and supplies will be entrusted to you."
Titius nodded in agreement.
After Gawain finished speaking, he turned to the guard officer and said, "We will take 50 Tecopo soldiers to escort the things that the widow just mentioned. We will go to Cadmea tomorrow to test it out, not only to deliver supplies, but also to detect the strength of the Normans."
