Chapter 4: Turning into a deer

With that, Anna returned to her plate with her eyes on the meat and vegetables and stopped talking.

"Before the formal ceremony, there should be a folk celebration in the imperial capital, right? So, if you don't dislike my identity, noble eldest princess, can you let the contemptible Gao Wen accompany you like today, and see the myriad weather of the imperial capital? Gawain's words were very consistent with etiquette, so that Anna's heart suddenly had seven or eight musk deer galloping against her, "But, in what capacity will Gawain accompany me!" ”

"Everything is arranged by the noble eldest princess, Gawain's purpose is to complete the journey to the imperial capital under the guidance of the eldest princess's all-encompassing wisdom, even if I go to Italy to take root in the future, I am eager to leave a biography for future generations, to praise the majesty of the empire and the wisdom of the eldest princess, so that I can show off my adventures in my old age." Gawain put his hand to his chest and transformed into a meticulous and friendly form.

This kind of lethality, Anna can't resist, even if she was born in the purple lion palace, from the moment she opened her eyes, she saw the dome and columns made of the most expensive red porphyry in the dormitory, and was favored by thousands of people, but the black-haired short Roman subjects, or the rough and unbearable Northland barbarians, she felt disdain for it, but any girl, whether it was ancient or now, has a dream on the colored clouds in her heart, and Anna is no exception, and now Gawain happens to be at her most youthful and ignorant, Riding a wild war horse, a little recklessly broke into her dream.

"Yes, as you get older, Anna continues to be young." The eldest princess said such words, but then hurriedly said, "When the people celebrate in three days, you can find Mikhail, and I will arrange it." ”

In the evening, Anna lowered her head, hurried out of the restaurant on the street, stepped into the shoulder that was already waiting outside, lowered the curtain, and slipped back to the Brachna Palace without her father's knowledge, still through the small door guarded by the old eunuch, "Don't make a noise about the time of my return." "As she passed, Anna continued to use the bribery method, and after giving the eunuch forty friths, she made this request.

"You're seducing the eldest princess, dear Varyag." In the hall of Yudohya's house, the male host, Mikhail, summed up the situation of the day, "Everyone knows that it is difficult to refuse a tall, handsome and cunning man like you, with a foreign hair color and eyes. You're as easy with her as you are with the deer in the Imperial Garden. ”

After saying that, Mikhail looked at his displeased wife and added, "Of course, it's the same as if I couldn't refuse my own wife." ”

"Seduce the eldest princess, Gao Wen is sorry for you to think of such a despicable thing!" The guard next to him shouted angrily.

"I didn't seduce her, don't make these meaningless accusations, a girl who is not even twelve years old, I would not do such a rebellious and criminal thing." After saying this, Gao Wen, who was sitting in the chair, saw that the people around him were staring at him with some kind of distrust in them.

"According to the rules of etiquette, the eldest princess will have to marry Augustus in three years, that is, His Excellency Constantine, the son of the deputy empress dowager, you are coming out now, what is it that is not a naked temptation?" The captor Theognes said with an expressionless face and an affirmative tone.

Gawain waved his hand, saying that he was unwilling to continue the discussion and debate, and his plan was still implemented anyway.

However, the guard was very emotional, "Gawain, I don't care how noble your goal is, or how compelled it is, but you can't do anything disrespectful and unclean to the eldest princess. ”

In fact, Gawain didn't think about it so much, but it was this group of people who made a lot of noise, but it made him have the idea of being heterosexual for the first time about Anna, and he couldn't help but think of Anna when he was held by him, touching his hair with his little hands, or the kind of well-behaved and docile expression that looked at himself, and he was also innocent at that time, but after the guard officer said this, Anna immediately became an image of a bride-to-be in his heart - "Ho ho ho! Gawain shook his wit all of a sudden, and thought about it carefully, no, I am by no means such a person, thinking about it, he walked to the gilded washbasin displayed in the corner of the hall, and wiped his face with a few handfuls of water.

However, this road must be walked on its own!

Anna, who was in the bed, looked at the ceiling of the palace in a bit of a daze by the candlelight, and then she leaned sideways, and put her elbow on her head, and heard the small sound of the hourglass at the head of the bed, which seeped into her heartβ€”she had made the maid lie to her father, saying that she would be back after noon to-day, and that he had been busy discussing the celebration with the court officials during this time, and did not pay much attention to it.

This is one of the few very unusual things she has deceived her father!

So today, unexpectedly, she went to bed without even reading the books and files, but she couldn't sleep for a long time.

But in the end, Anna was so sleepy that she walked into a dream of multicolored clouds, and she walked through the sky, and there were colorful clouds everywhere, like walking in the frescoes of the sanctum of the Cathedral of the Holy Wisdom, until she saw a very, very beautiful woman in a gold-rimmed black robe, smiling at her.

"Who are you?" Anna questioned.

Then, she couldn't say anything, and she was horrified to find that her limbs were on the ground, her fluffy tail had grown, and then her hair had turned into speckled fur, and her little ears had risen from the top.

Anna's tears came out urgently, she subconsciously understood that it was a dream, but she couldn't wake up, she couldn't get out, the black-robed woman over there had disappeared, the black wind was also blowing, the clouds of all colors were gone, lightning was jumping everywhere, she ran, and finally saw a palace, her father's back was standing there, she let out a cry for help, and ran towards her father.

As a result, in the middle of the process, a tall figure appeared, pounced on her, and crushed her to the ground, "Gawain is you, let me go?" Anna was embarrassed, but she couldn't shout, and then Gawain looked at her prey tenderly, and slowly tied up Anna's fawn with a rope

But Anna did not sit up, the dream below was hazy and indistinct, but she was very happy, very ignorant, this change was unbelievable to herself, but it was difficult to speak, it was all cranky, it was the distortion of the light of the daytime picture, like a painting, it could not be the exact same as the real - when she awoke, the black clouds and temples dispersed, and Anna, who was lying on the couch, comforted herself and repented to the Virgin.
