Eagle Byzantium

After many days of cold weather, the sun actually appeared on Christmas Day. The red rising sun in the early morning broke through the clouds, casting the long-lost light onto the gray-blue sea of ​​Constantinople, and the rows of rows of rows of trees. Above the elegant white palaces and churches, the gold inlays on the spires shine.

In Wan Huanli, Brenus's chariot walked along the street until it reached the Holy Apostles' Cathedral in the core of the city. Then, covered with ornaments, he stepped off the chariot, winning warm cheers and raising his hands. He stepped up the big steps with his head held high.

"Who is it!" At the gate of Brachna Palace, several heavily armored Varangian warriors stopped the galloping horses, "His Majesty, Myles, the Ink Controller, has something important to report to Your Majesty! "The other party raised the token, left the warriors behind, and followed the arrow path, flying towards the backyard of the church.

Then, after arriving at his destination, Melais took off the box from the horse's neck sash, hung it on his shoulder, held the gilded token high, and broke into the palace, where the emperor saw his arrival. His face also began to look surprised: Logically speaking, Yu Moguan would not have come here at this moment unless he encountered something particularly important. Could it be that the Frankish barbarian lords had revealed in their letters that they wanted to do something to the empire? Unruly?

Miles stood in front of the emperor, wiped the sweat with the back of his hand, and sent the three volumes of edicts to Alexios's hands. "They are all for Gawain. I have read all the contents inside." The emperor said in a strange way With a look in his eyes, he handed the edict back to Melais, temporarily confused.

"Please look at Princess Anna's handprint!" Miles shouted hurriedly. These words also alerted Dalasena, who also came closer.

This statement also made Alexios suddenly wake up. He took the first volume of the edict, which was the previous negotiation for Gawain; the second volume of the edict, which was for Gawain's canonization; and the third volume edict. It was awarded a high civil official title - because Anna was the patron of this person, so for the purpose of showing kindness to his daughter, he also asked Anna to sign it and put his fingerprint on it with ink pad.

Anna's fingerprints are messy and scattered all over the document, usually with several stamps on it.

original. None of this went unnoticed by Alexios.

"It seems that the copy is different from the one given to Gawain, but I can see that Her Royal Highness the Princess is here to say goodbye to Your Majesty." Under the guidance of Melais, Alexios's face looked horrified. stand up. The hand holding the edge of the golden edict was shaking violently, "These are all copies and have been returned to the archives. I don't believe that barbarian Gao Wen can understand these things. I don't believe it. I don't believe it!" The emperor's tone continued. They all changed, sharp and sad, causing the surrounding officials and servants to look sideways. Darasena hurriedly pressed her son's shoulders and told him with her eyes to stay calm.

After the door of the Holy Apostles' Cathedral opens. Alexios and Meles replaced Mikhail, the captain of the guard, and more than ten Forbidden warriors, wearing weapons, riding horses along the arrow path. At the door, the emperor saw the bride carrying the bride's shoulder carriage. The team is rushing towards the cathedral. The emperor quickly dismounted from his horse, and then drew his sword. The servants and maids around the carriage were so frightened that they all fell to the ground. Don't dare to move.

For the first time, Alexios made his sword tremble a little. He walked to the side of the carriage that stopped silently, and then suddenly opened the curtain, letting the cold wind howl into it, and then the emperor almost fainted - there was no trace of a person on the seat cushions and pillows inside!

The eunuch in charge of etiquette guidance was so frightened that he fell in front of the emperor's boots when he saw this scene. "Her Royal Highness Anna previously received His Majesty's permission to go to visit Her Majesty the Queen..." and was then lifted up by the Emperor. He kicked his foot to the ground, "Go to Irene's bedroom, quickly!"

The group of people, riding fast, passed through the vast imperial garden. Then the emperor saw a large gap beside the wall. It collapsed, and the wind came in and out of it, making a strange sound. "There is such a big gap here, why do I always keep it?" Don’t know?”

"Is it possible that the princess escaped from here?" Harold asked anxiously next to him.

The emperor twisted the hilt of his sword. He was obviously thinking. He was having a transcendent duel with his daughter. There was no collision of weapons and no smoke. "No, no, if Anna runs out from here, she will definitely alert the slaves." And the forbidden soldiers, because there is only one road away from Irene's palace. What's more, the location she showed on the document is for Gawain to see, so there is no way to pretend to be here. Let's continue to the default. destination!”

When the emperor entered the quiet palace with the garden, Irene was lying on the couch behind the curtain, looking calm and collected. "Irene, Irene!" the emperor stepped in impatiently and annoyed. , "Enough, the games and playing are over. Dear Anna, my father is no longer interested in playing hide and seek with you anymore." Hide from your mother's closet, from your mother's bathroom, and come out from under your mother's bed! "Come out Anna!" The emperor's last voice was roaring, and he opened the curtain angrily. Erin rubbed her belly and started laughing with her head down, as if she was mocking everyone.

The youngest daughter, Dido, sat next to the bed with a pale face, an expression of disbelief on her face.

The cabinets and other furniture were searched in every room. Dido's eyes followed the busy guards and eunuchs, but Alexius did not get the answer he wanted - Anna just disappeared, as if she had never entered here.

Alexius walked to the terrace where the cold wind was howling, and looked around, but there was no one, except for the soldiers holding torches and searching everywhere in the imperial gardens and gardens. Many people even searched the small holes where cats and dogs entered, just like Anna was turned into a small animal by the devil's spell and slipped away.

The emperor's hand was trembling and shaking, and slowly moved to his forehead, trying to cool himself down, but what he touched was as hot as a ball of fire. Did he catch a cold or have a fever? He didn't expect that this time he was fooled by his daughter Anna. His most beloved daughter, she used her father's love to gain his forgiveness and tolerance after the coup, but she turned around and deceived him thoroughly. She must have colluded with Irene and Gawain in this way that even he couldn't see.

"How smart my daughter is." Alexius used to be full of pride when he mentioned this, but now his daughter's cleverness has become the poison in her father's wine cup.

"Where is Anna? Where is she?" Alexius couldn't stand it anymore. He gave in and half-knelt in front of Irene, holding his wife's hand, with a sad and begging tone.

"She disappeared here and will never come back to you, Alexius." This is how the queen answered with a sneer. (To be continued ~^~)
