Kabeamiya cherished the "ancient capsules" containing a strong liquid into her arms, she had previously in Cappadocia, from the distant "Lord of the Mountains" from the mysterious medicine called "Hashsh Resin", and secretly enhanced its dose, this medicine can produce a strong hallucinogenic effect the moment people drink it, it is the mysterious mountain group with Indian hemp leaves and other imported products carefully concocted, the secret recipe is difficult for outsiders to obtain, this golden-handed female consul also tossed and turned, only to get one or two, I didn't expect it to work a miracle this time when resisting the invasion of Guz.

Since the Lord of the Mountains also obtained this potion from India, it should be no problem for her to buy it directly from Indian merchants in the estuary.

Thinking of this, Cabeamia rode her horse, shouted to Romanus, who was pitifully holding the sheep behind her, and followed with the rest of her co-workers, and left the market town with a lot of smoke and fire.

Within a few days, the remnants of the Tevris in the whole Thrace "swarmed", and many of the cadres who had fled from the defeat at Fort Philip, again rose up under the encouragement of the consuls of the Holy Descent: attacking and plundering the towns, co-opting the squires and peasants, and burning the churches and monasteries of the Orthodox Church.

In the northeast of the imperial capital, the small town of Heraclet, located on the coast of Yukxing, was originally a summer resort for the royal family and magnates, but it was also threatened by war: several noblewomen who had gone out of the city for outings had been taken captive by heretics, and the fate was unimaginable.

In front of the seaside buildings with beautiful marble columns, cars and horses are in order. Palace guards with bows and arrows and quivers separated on both sides of the road, and Marlena hurriedly led John with a fishing rod to the side. "Hurry back to the imperial capital, it's too dangerous here."

Inside the shoulders with drapes. The adoptive mother hugged the dark-skinned adopted son tightly, as if the other party was the only treasured treasure she had left in this world, "Your Majesty is still on the front line Adrianople, and His Excellency Sebastoclat is also there, so in the imperial capital from now on, you must pay attention everywhere, at least stay away from your biological mother and sister, they are all eyeing you, and you can only settle down when Your Majesty triumphs." ”

"Not to say. Father made mother regent of the court? ”

"That is why we cannot go back to the palace of Brachna, and what a terrible thing it would be if your mother took the opportunity to contact a powerful person and take advantage of His Majesty's absence to revoke your crown princehood" At the thought of this, Marlena's face turned pale, and she remembered her dead son Constantine, and then she took John's head into her chest. Bury it deeply, keep kissing John's forehead, "I will definitely protect you, I will definitely keep your position." No one can defeat our mother and son, is it the strong love forged between the two of us during this vacation in Herculet? Isn't it thick enough?"

The shoulders swayed slightly under the shoulders of several strong eunuchs. Quickly followed the avenue and headed in the direction of the imperial capital.

Brachna Palace at night. The eldest princess, Anna, was leaning against the gazebo on the terrace with her cheeks up, the wind blowing from the Golden Horn at the end of summer was very pleasant, and in the houses along the coast, the canopy of trees was reflected by the night and the moonlight, like a white flame, she was in front of her parents' bedchamber, waiting for her mother's summons, and this time it was really strange why her mother had not let her in after preparing for nearly two minutes.

At last, several eunuchs came out and bowed down to the eldest princess, and Anna nodded, and entered the hall under the silk curtain and curtain, accompanied by two handmaidens.

"Mother, I'm coming."

But then Anna froze her little tongue in astonishment, and she saw that in the main hall, her mother, Empress Irene, sat on the little throne she had prepared for herself, and the great throne, which her father used to sit on, was empty—but there was no other seat in the whole hall.

Erin smiled and gently placed her hand on the empty throne, the meaning was obvious: you sit down.

Anna's footsteps froze there, because she knew that her father was still the emperor of this empire, and neither her own mother nor herself could erase this fact.

"What are you afraid of, Anna?" Erin sat on the small throne and spoke, the surrounding servants and eunuchs all retreated outside the curtain, and there were only mother and daughter within the radius, "This empire is not without two honorable women holding the throne, not to mention that those two empresses are not as close as the relationship between the two of us. At the age of twenty-eight, her eyes shining with the brilliance of her youth on her crown, "I, like you, no longer trust capricious and cunning men." Your uncle, Caesar, has set out from Gallipoli with an elite guard, and in about two or three days he will be able to enter the imperial capital to control the situation. What's more, Zai Fu Beriel is also in the same breath as my mother and me, as for foreign aid," Erin got up in the jingle of a ring of jewels and took Anna's little hand, "Your most trusted commander of Aconis, Gawain, has approached Fort Sophia with a large group of red hands, and I have also sent a messenger to contact him, and he will also come with men and horses as soon as possible." ”

"What do you say, Mother Gawain is also involved? Is he going to be my father's enemy for my sake? Anna's breathing was chaotic, she recalled that in the past in the Grand Palace, she childishly canonized Gawain and became the heroine of the Great Barbarian, but she never imagined that this kind of joke would one day become a bloody battlefield battle in the palace, between relatives and relatives.

"Sit down Anna, I am the current regent of the imperial capital, and the time has come for you to become the empress." Erin's tone was categorical, and then she forcibly pinned her daughter to the throne, where petite Anna's feet barely reached the ground.

Erin complimented, "Very good, very good, sure enough, you are the natural queen, Anna. Komunen, I can help you up, my mother believes that even the Komnenos have no objections. So far, everything in the Ducasse family is worthy of them. Erin's face was then full of resentment, "It's just a small nobleman of military merit in Asia Minor, the origin is only a hundred years old, and the origin and genealogy are suspicious, and you have to sit on the throne with the help of nobles, do you really think that there is no one to replace the entire empire?" Ungrateful bastards. ”

Then she cupped Anna's face with a little sorrow, "Anna, my good daughter, remember—your nobility is due to the blood of Ducasse, not to Komnenos, just remember that." ”

After this nightmarish affair, Anna fled and returned to her little dormitory on the edge of St. Mary's Church, sat down at her desk, picked up the reed pen, and tugged at the braid of her forehead in distress, not knowing what to do, father, mother, uncle, uncle, all kinds of like a melee and fighting army, and finally the eldest princess's pen fell on the scroll, "Dear big barbarian" (to be continued. )
