Eagle Byzantium

Behind Anna, Staurajos suddenly moved there, "Your Royal Highness, maybe the Grand Duke cannot let go. After all, the Grand Duke is a person who values ​​love and justice. Previously, he felt that it was his duty to help you escape from the palace. , but he has already accepted the blond widow, so the stronger his friendship, the easier it is for him to fall into the vortex of self-blame. "

"It was my choice before, but now it's the big barbarian who has to make a choice?" After Anna said this, she held the table with her hands, "Actually, I don't blame him, even if Komu is now deprived of it. Ning Ziyi has the title of Princess, but I am still generous. I only hope to be with Damanzi. "

Stavlachos chuckled, "Your Highness, this is not difficult to do." Then Anna turned her face sideways and looked at the fat eunuch who was not amazing in appearance.

"After all, I have been in the Dalian team for such a long time, and I know quite a lot about the past of His Excellency the Grand Duke. The blond widow is from Varyag. She is now staying in the city of Bari, Italy, and is not in the army, because the Grand Duke is Those who love her are afraid that she will be involved in danger, so the further the expedition goes, the more opportunities you will have, Your Highness." Next, Stavrajos said, "I understand." With an expression on his face, he suddenly took out a small green bottle, revealing his shining golden teeth, and quietly raised it in front of the princess, "Please allow your loyal servant to boldly offer this to you..." .I got it from the special merchants in the imperial capital on the other side of the strait. The secret recipe has been passed down to the Roman palace and nobles for hundreds of years, but it cost me ten Byzantine gold coins."

Anna's eyelashes trembled and her face seemed to be on fire. She understood what was in the bottle in the fat eunuch's hand, so she took it with her hand and looked at it, "Bastard Staurachos, your loyalty is speculation. - When you bought this thing, I didn't escape from the palace at all, so you prepared this thing just to please any woman, as long as she can fall into Gawain's arms and win the favor of the barbarian."

These words frightened the eunuch and immediately knelt down, "Please forgive my selfishness, but please rest assured, Your Highness. My loyal servant, I am always monitoring the Grand Duke. He came across the sea from Bali City and has always restrained himself, even in the previous battles." The heretic Paulist female consul who captured Jiaomei always treated her with courtesy, so this green bottle was prepared for the arrival of Her Royal Highness, just like me. The person who prepared it is called destiny."

"This thing makes it look like I am a seducer of men..." Anna said indignantly, but she still quietly accepted the bottle, thinking of using it in case of emergency, and then repenting in front of the Holy Mother afterwards. Not too late. She somewhat understands the power of this kind of thing, which can make men obey you and be willing to be your subordinate. Antonina used it back then. Controlling the great general Belisarius (her husband), "But Staurachos, if a third person in the camp finds out, I will cut out your tongue."

Later, when the candles in front of the table were extinguished, Anna lay in the crimson tent in her underwear. That was what Gawain gave her to live in. She stared at the furnishings around her. He quietly rubbed the green bottle under the blanket again, feeling full of conflicts and contradictions in his heart. Then he raised his nose again, like a small animal, and sniffed the blanket. It was different from the one in the hunter's cabin in Salabria before, and it was stained with the smell of the big barbarian.

"Anna, your vagina has grown bigger again, which is good." In the dream, it was the mysterious woman in black again, but the python behind her had indeed grown bigger, with a huge snake head and red eyes. The pillar of fire, the heavy body pillar could no longer accommodate, so Dust and broken bricks poured down from the gable of the temple, but this time Anna walked over bravely. She was already familiar with this kind of dream, and was no longer afraid of this terrifying snake. She even asked directly: , "Please tell me, where is the Land of Seven Ridges?"

"The Land of Seven Ridges, facing the ocean on one side and surrounded by mountains on three sides, is the place where the Holy Apostles were born." Then, the woman in black had an expression on her face that could only tell you that she had come here, and then changed the subject, "What do you want? You don’t have to do this to seduce Gawain. Elegant and noble princess, are you still afraid that Gawain will not be yours in the future? At the previous wedding, instead of climbing out of the imprisoned city wall along the aqueduct and breaking the engagement between your sister Dido and Gawain, it was not so much that Gawain abducted you, but that it was you who abducted Gawain. If you can even deceive your father and ignore your sister, then no other woman in the world can stop you, Anna. "

These words seemed to sting Anna, "What can I do, what can I do? I didn't intentionally harm Dido." The eldest princess knelt down, covered her chest with her hands, and said painfully, "And I didn't mean to harm Dido." Father, why would you say these words to a devil like you? What kind of benefits are they getting from me and Gawain, because the devil has always believed in equal exchange - but!" After speaking, Anna raised her eyes, "I am by no means false to the big barbarian. If there is any, If Anna needs to pay for Gawain, I will never hesitate."

"That also follows the principles of contract and exchange, doesn't it?" Ajiehe in black said with a smile.

"No, absolutely not." Anna's eyes were extremely firm, which actually made Artiehe a little panicked. She smiled, turned around and disappeared into the smoke in front of the temple.

Then, Anna murmured strange words from her dream, opened her eyes and woke up.

It was the next morning. The remaining 30,000 pilgrims, plus the 30,000 brought by Gottschalk who had just crossed the sea, began to repair the camp in Nicaea, interweaving with the lord's army. There were sounds of people and animals everywhere. Walter and Dorus, holding their swords, respectfully paid homage in front of the scarlet tent of Grand Duke Gawain, hoping to express Gawain's life-saving grace to the entire team.

But Gawain moved to the tent behind last night. Now it was Anna who was resting in the scarlet camp!

"Hurry, hurry, hurry! If the lord outside is left waiting for a long time, it will be extremely rude, regardless of whether the Grand Duke will arrive soon. I know that the Franks pay the most attention to these things." Stavrachos, leaning against the window of the tent, said nervously, meaning that Anna should first replace Gawain to meet the two country lords.

This made Anna more nervous than ever, but she was a princess of the Roman Empire after all (once upon a time), and she couldn't show her fear in such an occasion. She soon sobered up on the bed: since it was like this now, sooner or later she would have to get used to facing these barbarians and treat people well. She couldn't always hide behind Gawain's shadow.

"Hey, Stavragius, bring me a mirror." (To be continued ~^~)
