Eagle Byzantium

"Bang," the guard threw the iron flail on the snow, "I was deceived by Gawain again."

"But you have to continue to deceive the defenders of the imperial capital. Be more honest, walk in front and don't make any noise." Bramson tied Gu Siyun with a rope, pointed his crossbow at her head, and covered her head with a crossbow. Under a small shield, he stood on horseback and threatened the restless Norman woman.

And Muzafi'adin collected all the various weapons from the guard and hung them on his leather armor. Then he carried an iron flail and put a machete on the guard's back, "Don't play tricks. , then you will not be able to continue to be loyal to your Majesty, walk towards St. Atkins Gate!"

The horses neighed, and several more brotherhood members wearing dark robes walked out from the dense forest. Some carried bows and arrows and shields, some carried spears, and there were also a few hunted rabbits and deer hanging on the saddles. , laughing, Soon he came over, replacing Muzafi Adin, sandwiching the guard and his wife. The Turkic army servant took a deer that was thrown over, got on his horse, and headed towards St. Atkins. The door went in the opposite direction.

The guard's hand was clenched tightly, and his heart was full of regret, because he saw the cavalry sent by the emperor in scarlet clothes, holding riding whips, running around outside the city gate, seemingly searching for the whereabouts of the eldest princess. , but he couldn't say anything. His hands were tied together with Gu Siyun, and he was blinded. The cloak was held hostage, and several hounds were barking non-stop. Bramson, who was leading the charge, was gesturing to the house cavalry running towards him, pointing at the prey in the saddle, as if everyone was just talking to him. The rest of the Frankish nobles were the same. They came out in the early morning for normal hunting.

As soon as Gawain came to the water tower on the top of Salabria Mountain, he happened to see the most thrilling scene, the little girl in the red dress with embroidered gold icons. Just slid down the hillside.

Because the place was facing away from the sun, there were no bushes with thorns or branches. Anna, who cared about her appearance, finally made up her mind.

"Anna!" Gawain shouted, quickly turning over and dismounting. He did not expect that the eldest princess would be so aggressive. He originally thought that the girl would come out of the sewer. Coming out along the sinking river in the Leches Valley - but Gawain had no time to complain, he untied his cloak, ran over quickly, and brought Anna who was buried in the snowdrift after coming down. He helped her up, then unfolded her coarse woolen cloak, and wrapped her up in Anna who had almost lost her will.

The other person’s little hands. Hooking his neck and pulling out the cold, Gawain hurriedly put her hand back into the cloak, "Barbarian... I didn't expect you to really know Greek."

"Stop talking!" Gawain said sternly, then kicked Anna deeply and lightly, wrapping her up like a swaddling clothes, with only a few strands of black hair exposed. Walking on the snow, he walked towards Sabina.

At this time, Mikhail climbed to the tower, and the two guards met their princess. He was picked up by a tall barbarian and wanted to ride away from Salabria. He pulled out his sword, put it against his chest, and was about to slide down the hillside, but was stopped by Mikhail, " We can't catch up. Her Royal Highness Princess Anna has been abducted by the priest of Rome." The two guards looked at each other, not knowing what the chief guard meant, and then Mikhail explained. "This will become the biggest scandal for the Western Patriarch of Rome, and that's all it can do. But when we go back and report to His Majesty, just say that the Princess is safe and sound, and that Gawain has picked her up, that's all."

Swaying, Anna was helped onto the saddle by Gawain, and then Gawain sat behind her, his broad chest close to her, and his strong arms wrapped around her. She was completely protected by Gawain. Gawain's His breath rubbed her hair and stirred, "Don't go to St. Atkins Gate..." Anna said in a daze.

"I know, don't worry..." Damanzi's reply made Anna feel calm, and then she tilted her little head, leaned on Gawain's chest, and fell asleep.

The sun was still fully rising, and the golden pulse shone through Anna's closed eyelids and Gawain's warm and broad chest, constantly projecting into the groggy darkness, making Anna absolutely feel at ease and comfortable, feeling guilty about her father and mother, Let it go if you let your sister down. From now on, you will walk with Gawain on your own path, heading towards the "Land of Seven Ridges" in the dream. Where will it be? What fate will await us? But she believes that as long as she joins forces with the big barbarian, she will never lose. What do the names of Komnenos and Dukas mean.

In a forest with deep snow, Gawain pulled the bridle and slowly rode Sabina into it. Then Anna opened her eyes slightly. She saw that there was a horn hanging on the tree trunk. bow.

Just when she was confused, Gawain's voice came from behind, "Don't be afraid, it's a sign from our own people. We are now in the extreme north of Salabria, at the mouth of the Golden Horn. It's full of people." The woods and fishing villages are not in danger for the time being.”

Then, Gawain shouted out, and behind the tree trunk, Muzafi'adin led the horse with a smile and walked over from the hiding place...

Deep in the woods, next to the stream, there was a wooden frame where Muzafiadin was setting up a musk deer, skinning and boned it, blood constantly flowing down the black water. Next to it was a hunter's hut for the winter, and few people came around except for wild animals. The owner was a Slavic hunter, originally a slave of the Ducas family. Just now, after Gawain threw a gold coin to him, he happily stayed at the back of the house to chop wood.

Gawain sat in front of the narrow window, watching him intently, while Anna, who was very weak, lay on the couch next to him, covered with an animal skin blanket and Gawain's cloak. After a while, Gawain turned around, and Anna hurriedly pulled the blanket up to cover half of her face, leaving only her eyes, staring at him.

"Take a rest..." Gawain persuaded.

"Cold."

"Well, the deer haven't been processed yet." So Gawain thought about it, Anna hadn't eaten yet, so he took off the leather bag from his belt, "It contains wine mixed with honey, you drink it first to warm your body." Anna stretched out her arm from under the blanket to catch it, sipped it twice, and her cheeks gradually turned red. She looked at Gawain, and Gawain was using long pliers to flexibly clamp the charcoal and put it into the hand warmer on the small table beside the couch. This clever gesture fascinated Anna.

"I didn't expect that you also learned to use this thing. I just gave it to you at the beginning, and I didn't know how to use it myself."

"Do you think that I, a Varyag noble, have lived a noble life surrounded by silk-clad servants?" Gawain couldn't help but laugh. "Fishing, hunting, chopping wood, climbing, swimming, riding, I know how to do it." Then he tucked the hand warmer under Anna's blanket, but accidentally touched Anna's ankle. (To be continued ~^~)
