Chapter 76: Invitation
On the stone tower, Anna and Goldhilde, accompanied by the fat eunuch and Agnes standing behind, looked down with great pride and satisfaction at the cavalry team that was ready to attack in front of the mosque square.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, organizing logistics in Karon City is also a very important job, but I believe that Gawain will have no worries when he goes to the battlefield." Goethehild glanced at the side, waved at Anna below, and took the opportunity to put on a high hat for the other party, which was also for the sake of Gawain's career.
Anna smiled with a smile of "Of course", which probably means that she will wholeheartedly prepare the rest of the men's march, "Gothhilde, don't worry, we will go to Cilician Gate in three to five days to deal with Gawain. ”
"Gawain, Gawain! The three saints bless your sword blade, and you will be victorious! Suddenly, Anna's little hand waved even more elated—in the square, under the banner of the advancing cavalry, Gawain, wearing a helmet, raised his hand on his back against the towering hexagonal stone tower of the mosque, and Anna naturally responded.
At this moment, Gawain also saw that behind the jagged wall on the second floor of the mosque, Kabeamia, who was combing a fishbone braid, was staring at him at the same time, and seemed to have come to say goodbye, but soon disappeared in a flash, "Hey, Holy Sister." During your stay in Karon City, you must be calm, and don't make any trouble with Anna, it will be really difficult to clean up. ”
When all the cavalry had marched in a long line at the gate of the city towards the majestic "Cilician Gate" in the south, the rest of the infantry and archers of the two brigades began to return to rest under the orders of the commander and the standard-bearers of the various brigades. Some armed travelled to "requisition supplies", while others patrolled towers and fortifications. And members of the fraternity. They also began to move around to ensure the temporary operation of the city: water supply, city defense, inventory and screening of the remaining residents, etc.
"Anna. Do I have a proverb you'd like to hear? When they had come down the stairway of the hexagonal stone tower and stood in the hall of the hospital, the female physicians who walked around bowed to the noble princess and lady, and Goethechild asked Anna with a smile.
"I want to hear about it."
"It's extremely rude to stick your head out and look inside when you pass by the door of someone's room, but it's even more impolite to stand there and do nothing." Goldhilde's words made Anna laugh at the time, and she immediately extended an invitation. "Of course, maybe I can play backgammon with you for an afternoon, with Agnes and you and me talking in private, and then enjoy a little happy dinner at dusk."
But things soon changed, and when the women were laughing and laughing, and walked through the curtain to the room at the end of the hospital, Anna, after looking at the daffodils on the windowsill, gave instructions to the fat eunuch who stood outside her. "Stareulajos, you're going to prepare the food and the cook for the dinner right away, so I'll leave it to Wright at the door. Bozia, Dorus. Lambert came to take up the guard, and told them to draw ten soldiers from my Greek guard from the Guardian Brigade. Let the female physicians in the hall over there not panic at all—for the two of them are too boring to play backgammon, and I am going to expand the scale of the game by inviting the golden-handed archon to join the sisters' private conversations and games. ”
"Hmm. Sure enough, Gawain was right about what Gawain told me before he left, just after he left. You will stir up a storm of blood. I'll do my best to mediate right away, or I'll lose Gawain's trust. Goethehilde, who was already sitting on the couch, kept a charming smile. In his heart, he secretly pinched his sweat.
Stauracus hurriedly complied, and then walked down the colonnade, and soon he walked out of the temple of the mosque, and sweated profusely to the nearby madrasas, where the house of the consul was housed.
"What, Her Royal Highness the Princess in Purple invited me to a secret talk?" Facing the fat eunuch holding the letter, Kabeamia sneered.
"Yes, please be careful with your Excellency the Archon." Starulachos bowed his head and reminded quietly.
"It doesn't matter, it seems that Her Royal Highness the Princess will not do anything to me, but she just wants to teach me the etiquette in the court. Please go back to Her Royal Highness the Princess, thank her for her kindness and hospitality, please give me some time to freshen up and prepare, and I will be there on time at dusk. "Kabeamia looks confident.
So Stareuracus bowed his head and raised his hands, kept his manners, and withdrew backwards from the view of the consuls, and disappeared around the corner of the porch.
"This bastard is small!" Then, Kabeamia screamed involuntarily, and went straight to her bedroom, pulled out the bulltongue sword from the skin bag hanging on the wall, and took out the bottle and jar containing the venom from the sealed box, and prepared to use the tool to drip it into the slot of the bulltongue sword, but Kabeamia closed her eyes again and adjusted her breathing, "No, calm down, calm down - since Anna has called me to go, there must be soldiers guarding her around, and at this time there is a poisoned dagger hidden at this time, doesn't it give her the truth to persecute me?" Can't be so stupid, Kabeamia. ”
"Then I will also go with the escort of the believers, no, this will not work, and it will also give Anna an excuse, not to mention that she is no match for her in terms of strength, she suddenly formed a new brigade and took away the company that Gawain relied on, isn't it for this? There's still some time, what the hell am I supposed to do? ”
Soon Kabeamiya was wearing a coarse cloth cloak, hiding her countenance, and sticking to the corner of the madrasah, toward the barracks in the city, where she could clearly see that at the door of the barracks the battalion officer, Wright, had begun to carry out the list of men and men to go to the mosque on Juji.
Seeing someone pushing a light cart loaded with grain into the barracks, Kabeamia stepped forward to help, and then went in.
"Camp manager, someone wants to see you and says they have brought crucial news." When two physicians were helping Vesat. As Mellot changed his medicine, one of the guards hurried in and reported the news.
"Huh?" Merlot was a little surprised.
After a while, Wright crossed his waist and stood under the door of the barracks carved with holy icons, and in front of him was a group of carefully selected Greek soldiers, all carrying excellent shields and swords, all belonging to the new Guardian Brigade, swearing allegiance to Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, not avoiding fire and water, "The princess in purple has an edict, immediately where she is going, you must carry out defensive duties, no one is allowed to carry weapons or poison, approach Her Royal Highness, the offender is immediately arrested, understand?" ”
Ten soldiers answered in unison, and just as Wright waved his hand and asked Dorus to lead the team away, the camp manager suddenly appeared in front of him, "Bozia, these people are not enough, I will send fifteen more soldiers." (To be continued.) )
