I went on a short trip during the day, and I had two normal shifts at night, so everyone helped me vote for the recommendation, thank you.

――――――――――――――――――――

Anna's hand grabbed the curtain, but she didn't dare to make too big a move, she heard Constantine's weak and miserable **, her former fiancé kept calling his mother's name, begging for his mother's help, his fingers kept scratching his clothes, tables and chairs, and he was in great pain, "Mother, mother, help me." ”

But Marlena still sat there, like a dead man, and said repeatedly, "I have been in the palace for so many years, and I must not be unlucky enough to fail again, for I had pinned all my hopes on you, Constantine, but now your Majesty will abandon you and depose you, because the Warden Rebellion has found you as a flagpole." Constantine, you will be suspicious of your mother, and you will also be deprived of John's childcare qualifications, so wouldn't your mother be too pitiful? Speaking of this, Marlena got up and walked over to support her son, whose face was already blue, "So, you pity poor mother, I can only treat John as my own son in the future, and I can't continue to be dragged down by you, don't you often say that you want to leave this palace with your mother?" Then leave now, my mother will stay here, and she will stay here."

Anna gradually lost her understanding of the following words, she continued to cover her mouth, tiptoed her heels, lowered the curtain, and silently retreated, and then fled with the equally knowing maid through the side door.

The rain below was getting heavier and heavier, but the maid with the umbrella cover and the book on her back could not keep up with the pace of the eldest princess Anna, who had fled in the desert. It wasn't until outside the walls of the dormitory that Mikhail saw the eldest princess, whose head and feet were wet and her face was pale and trembling, that he took off his cloak in surprise and put it on her, "Hey, you! Mikhail sternly shouted to the maid who came later, reprimanding her for not doing her duty.

"Don't preach, Mikhail! Don't say I've been to this dormitory, go back now. ”

At noon that day, the eldest princess fell ill with cold and fever, and the Brachna Palace was in chaos, and Queen Irene was still out of the house, and it is said that she went to St. John's Cathedral to pray for blessings, and did not learn of her daughter's illness, which is really ironic.

A moment later, the death knell of the Abbey of Brachner Palace sounded, and everyone knew that calamity did not come alone: the Lord Augustus Constantine fell ill and died. All the court officials and maids are simply crazy, and they are all waiting for the return of His Majesty the Emperor, who is on official business.

Half an hour later, Alexios, on horseback, came in a hurry, jumped off his horse, and rushed straight to the palace, where his majesty saw his daughter, lying there with her face light, and several medical officers were busy applying herbs and placing blood-sucking locusts on her wrists.

"What's the use of this?" Annoyed, Alexios took the locust down, threw it on the floor, crushed it with his boots, and then half-crouched down, touched his daughter's forehead, and held her little hand.

"Father, you better go to Constantine, may the Lord take his soul." Anna opened her eyes and spoke to Alexios, her voice very weak.

"Why, why, the Lord punished me like this." Alexios also panicked, he also wanted to deal with Constantine's funeral as soon as possible, but he was afraid that after leaving, he would never see his daughter again when he returned.

"Don't worry about my father, I'll be fine, but before that I wanted to see Gawain, who was about to go on an expedition." Anna pursed her pale lips.

Alexios froze, not knowing what kind of expression to make.

"Because I sent my maid to Constantine's palace today to retrieve the books, and then I saw the ghost of the dead Constantine, who was haunted and had a fever, and neither the monks nor the medical officer could do it, and only by keeping Gawain, with the sword, guarded at the entrance of the palace, would my daughter calm down." This is Anna's explanation, "Father, please rest assured, Gawain will soon go to Apulia, Italy, he will not pester me, please father"

"Okay, okay. Call my herald and squire! In fact, Alexios knew in his heart that his daughter only wanted to see that Gawain because of psychological needs, otherwise why wasn't "Mikhail with a sword" and "Diognes with a flail" staying here? But as a father, he is completely out of order, and he can only agree to his daughter's willful and foolish request, as long as she can recover as soon as possible.

Sarabria, a wilderness covered with meadows and woods, surrounded by dense farmsteads and fields, warm in winter and cool in summer, couldn't be the best campsite, if it weren't for today's annoying rain, Gawain would have wanted to take Sabina out for a while and evacuate his mood.

As a result, in the rain came uninvited guests, Queen Irene and Caesar Macaulinus, dressed in casual clothes.

To everyone's surprise, most of the five hundred Tekopo soldiers rested in their tents, and Diognis and Gawain respectfully welcomed the two leading figures of the empire into their seats in the tents, waiting for them to explain their intentions.

"Your Excellency the Border Guard, I am the mother of Princess Anna, the wife of His Majesty the Emperor, and the Empress of this empire." When Erin sat down in her seat, the first thing she said to Diognis was to introduce herself.

The captor hurriedly bowed down to show his greatest respect to the queen.

"I beg your pardon the captor, I know your respect and supreme loyalty to the royal family, but this meeting with the commander of Count Gauwen is of a personal nature, and will not cause any formal or substantial harm to the empire. Erin had already eaten the psychology of this half-blood samurai, and instead of leaving him out and letting him doubt, it was better to open the skylight and say something.

Subsequently, Irene and Myaulinus turned the topic to the newly appointed nobleman with a sword, "The Ducasse family started from serving as the Grand Duke of the Military Region in the previous dynasty (the meaning of Ducasse is Grand Duke Dux), and in the struggle of His Majesty to ascend the throne today, it has played a more or less minor role, so this time Count Gawain went to Italy, which is related to the vital interests of the empire there, and the Ducasse family will not sit idly by - besides, I heard that Count Gawain has a pretty good friendship with Anna, so" After Erin finished speaking, Reminded my brother with his eyes.

Caesar Myaulinus immediately held a lead-sealed document in his hand with a bright smile, personally stepped down from his seat, handed it into Gawain's hands, patted him on the shoulder and conveyed the heart of the queen and the entire family, "The Ducasse family owns some property in Thrace and Thessaly, and soon after you are ordered by the emperor to go on the expedition, along the way I will ask for the farms, monasteries and old officials belonging to the name of the contemptible people to provide you with convenience and supplies." ”

Gawain was worried that the emperor or the Sebastocrates would use this to make things difficult for him, but he did not expect the most powerful Ducasse family to come to the door to send warmth, so he did not hesitate to take the sealed certificate into his arms, and expressed his gratitude to the queen and Caesar.
