By the candlelight, Anna unfolded Stephen's letter, the Count of Blois, who was obviously well educated, or perhaps the letter was ghostwritten by one of his monks, and the whole letter was very long and densely worded:

"Count Stephen writes to his sweetest and loveliest wife, Adella, and to his dearest son, and to all his most faithful subjects, both young and old, to receive all atonement and grace

God willing, I was in good shape from head to toe when I left outside the city of Antioch, and earned my honor in the bloody battles outside the city. Now the army of the Lord, having besieged Antiochus for eight weeks, and it is certain that I now have twice as much gold and silver and many other riches as I had left (including the dowry money you gave me, my dear), and I was continually elected as the whole pilgrim, up to one hundred and fifty thousand men, the common 'Cardinal General Council,' for the military administration of all the camps, because of my composure and bravery, and because of my upright stand

We recovered considerable territory in Romania (referring to the Byzantine Roman Empire), and in Nicaea and Cappadocia, we defeated a prominent and powerful Turkic prince (Gilici. Arslan), and left behind two brave princes, namely Stephen. Gawain, as the Romanians called him "Lusail", and Godfrey's brother Baldwin, along with many noble and brave warriors. Escorting other pilgrims as we continue our pursuit of the evil Turks

We went all the way from central Cilicia. Then to the mountains of Maras, constantly pursuing the Turks. The Turkic warriors, who had captured their baggage and pack beasts, crossed the Euphrates in a hurry, and gathered to defend the city of Antioch; Then we surrounded this great and sacred city

We do think that Antioch is a huge city, more fortified and more difficult to conquer than we can imagine, with five thousand elite Turkic warriors inside, as well as countless Saracens, Syrians, Armenians and other nationalities as the masters of the city, the evil pagan leader Yagi. Used by Siyan

Many Franks died on the battlefield. Died of wounds, died of hunger. We have been exposed to bitter cold and rain outside Antioch all winter, and some say that the sun is blazing all year round in Syria, but this is absurd, and the winter here is the same as the winter in our homeland

Aggie frantically appealed to the pagan princes for help, and it is said that at once 120,000 pagan soldiers from all over Khorasan, the Caspian Sea, Damascus, Baghdad, and Aleppo came to Antioch from all directions. And we know almost nothing about their strength, they can even cross the valley south of Antioch and appear at any moment in the port of San Simon. Kill our sailors, burn our ships, and cut off supplies. His Excellency Admar, the Prefect of the Priesthood, has consulted with me and decided that the Duke of Apulia (Bohemond) and the Counts of Saint-Gilles (Raymond) should draw sixty valiant knights. With a considerable number of infantry, he went to the port of Saint-Simon to guard the passing supplies. But this makes our besieging forces even weaker

And the Turks of Antioch City continue to use the stone bridge leading to the outside of the city, killing our lone people at will, they ride fast horses, come and go quickly, we are helpless, and we can not destroy the stone bridge Our stone-throwing equipment, the damage to the walls of Antioch is minimal

It is said that the Greek Emperor's troops have arrived at the Syrian Gate, but I have little hope for them, how they had followed us before, and now they were only trying to escape more vigorously under Antioch, and the Greek Emperor's dispatch of troops might be more akin to a diplomatic exercise

My beloved wife, Adella, I must swear by your gentle smile and sweet kiss that all the money I have now accumulated may soon be squandered here, like the snow and ice in spring, for the Duke of Apulia has attracted the Pisa, and His Excellency Ademar has attracted the Duckmen, and the Emperor of Greece has sent the Venetians and the Amalfis, and these copper-stenching merchants have begun to pile up their goods in the port of Saint-Simon, and it is not difficult to imagine that when the spring food is unsustainable, they will pay a high price. to take advantage of our wealth, but I have to bury this thought in my heart, and to say it will offend a large number of people, all of whom are drinking to quench their thirst. I miss you more than ever, and I long to see you, and no honour or duty can bind me: as soon as the situation really deteriorates, I will not hesitate to take those who wish to follow me, board the ship, and return to Blois, to be reunited with you, and I will miss the coast of my homeland, the forests and the flowers, and even more so you and my son

The kiss of Christ is with you. ”

Anna handed the letter back to the two Brotherhoods, and then she stood up, "The army of the infidels, the conquests, the diplomacy, and the dispatch of grain, if you add these hours, may come to Antioch in the spring and summer; And in the letter, even the Count of Blois, who prides himself on being calm and upright, began to be pessimistic and disappointed about the prospect of the siege of Antioch, so should Gawain go to Antioch again after the beginning of spring? ”

The Purple Princess was in a fierce hesitation, like the Count of Blois, far below the city of Antioch.

Two days later, Gawain returned with a vast brigade, but before entering Seleucia, he persuaded the widow to be placed in a converted monastery mansion by the agora of Acrum, accompanied by Madame Chiser, and appointed a small guard to protect her.

But when he appeared in the hall of the Acropolis, Anna rushed up to hug him, and kissed him, but did not say anything about asking the widow, but hurriedly handed the transcribed letter of Count Stephen into the hands of Gawain, who was evidently more concerned about it.

"What's your opinion?" Gawain asked as he put his arm around Anna's shoulders and walked along the promenade of the Acropolis' walls.

"I think it's better to bring the Brotherhood, the Reformers, and the Brigade of Temachi and Duguélius together for discussion." Anna walked briskly, trying to keep up with Gawain, who had long hands and legs, and said quickly while raising her neck, while the little sunfish and the fat eunuch followed at the same time, not daring to overstep it.

When he stepped into the porch of the chapel room, Gawain unfastened his cloak, belt, and sword, and then paced back and forth in the room, looking at the sunlight of the ocean through the windows of the cave outside, and said to Anna, "No one is needed, here we are up to you." Anna, tell me what you think. ”

"Our army was defeated in the battle of Alalmanburg, and although my father returned to Dalmatia to quell the rebellion of Berdin, that man was not destined to be my father's opponent. In a year at most, my father and brother will have enough money to turn against us--Gawain, do you really want me to go with you to some island to become a money changer? Anna was a little anxious.
