Chapter 92: First Meeting
However, during this period of time, in fact, the main external banquets and exchange activities were presided over by Gawain, and the purple-clothed Caesar Anna did not pay much attention to attend the event because of her growing body, and secondly, because of something.

In the special room of the palace library, Anna read the letters on several cases with a solemn face, and Hetomia, the imperial ink officer on the pillar by the curtain, whispered, "About Agnes. What should be done with Prani's grandfather's letter? β
"The Imperial spy service, though very stupid lately, has taken note of Agnes, and they must have thought that she was helping our country in the manufacture of weapons and armaments, and my father had instructed the Postmaster and a cavalry team of internal guards to go to the island of Lespos to put Agnes' grandfather, His Excellen Magrendius, under surveillance, and to force him to write a letter to ask for Agnes' return."
"Please forgive my hard-hearted heart, Agnes can't let her go now, because she knows too many internal affairs and secrets of our country, such as the recipe of Khitan snow, the mystery of the Great Plani Cannon, etc. If you let her go, it will be in your father's hands, and Your Majesty will soon use our technology to arm the Imperial army, and that would be in danger. The girl of the Orson family said eloquently.
Although the little sunfish fell out with her grandfather and ran away, she should not sit idly by and watch her grandfather meet with misfortune. If we forcibly hold her, won't we treat her as a habitable curiosity......" Anna cupped her forehead in anguish, and then raised her eyes to look at the Imperial Ink Officer, "Please let me think about it, dear Hetomia, and besides, I will have to discuss this matter with the great barbarians. β
When Gawain returned from the feast at nightfall, Anna unfastened his coat and took him by the hand to tell him the news of the arrival from the island of Respas.
Gawain was also a little stunned, but he walked to the candle flame and didn't think much before turning to Anna and making it clear, "We should put Agnes back." β
"But......," Anna euphemistically rephrased the words of the Orson girl.
"I can't agree with the Orson girl." Gawain's hand rested on the candlestick on the table, "It is true that Agnes is very important to our country, and the Emperor longs for her, but Agnes' departure is not so fatal to us. In addition, now the little sunfish is also our friend, since I can be open to Gelichi, to Diognis, and even to Brenus, there is no reason to be so mean to the little sunfish, if she cares about the safety of her grandfather, she should let her go back. β
At this moment, Hetomia, who was sitting there in the outer room to deal with the paperwork, heard the words of the Great Patron, and also stopped what she was doing, and listened quietly, she summed up the gap between her thinking and that of the Great Patron in her heart.
"If her father forces her to hand over the formula for Khitan snow, what should we do?"
"Anna." Gawain turned around and took Anna into his arms, "Is our kingdom built on a foundation of incendiary explosives?" I don't think so, even if the emperor doesn't persecute Agnes today, won't he force others to comply? You have said before that what are the four pillars that support the temple of the state? β
"Courage, determination, fortune and fame."
"Now I shoulder the first two, and you shoulder the latter two, as long as we cooperate sincerely, such a country will surely not fall. As for the mere Khitan snow formula, will my steps be controlled to death by such a thing? I can be delivered into the hands of Agnes, and then he will pass to the Emperor, and grant your father's wish, and surely he will not be embarrassed by your friend. As he spoke, Gawain leaned down to Anna's ear and whispered a few more words, and Anna continued to whisper "Is this true?"
Gawain nodded, "In that case, it's actually a good thing for us and Agnes. β
"That's all there is to it for the time being." Anna expressed her willingness to follow her husband's plan.
Two days later, the Austrian Countesses, guided by Lambert and Agnes, came to the Water Gate in Tarsus: Adelaide was so excited to see the magnificence of the city of the Holy Apostle Sanzi, and many of the guards lined up on the battlements to blow their horns in high order to welcome their arrival, and then the Watergate Tower, composed of ships floating on the river, rumbled out of the clever bridge to the shore.
Lambert stepped on his horse, politely stepped aside, and made an inviting gesture to Date and Adelaide, and the mother and daughter, marveling at the ingenious design, sat on their shoulders and were carried into the city by the servants.
Then in the enlarged palace garden, Adelaide stood on the floor of the hall and saw Gawain, who had been thinking about him for a long timeβhe came from the corridors on both sides of the hall, behind him was the chief of the Turkic guard with a long sword and bow (Muzafiadin was promoted), and a tall warrior with a hammer, Gawain had a golden crown of lions on his head, a majestic beard, a full and broad forehead, slight wrinkles, pale blue eyes, a resolute and slender face, a black trench coat, revealing the hilt and blade of the legendary sword, She walked quickly and steadily in front of them, and then smiled kindly, first saluting her mother, Countess Date.
This famous guarantor is really quite similar to the description in Dai Duo's album! Adelaide smiled admiringly and satisfied, and the fawn in her heart was bumping wildly.
"My wife is too lazy to come out now, so I'm so sorry." Over there, Gawain was talking to her mother very briefly and politely.
"It's okay, I'll go to the inner room to pay homage to Caesar in purple soon." Date was also very pleased with the other party's personability, which was almost different from the ugly one-eyed Raymond.
After a while, Gawain walked up to young Adelaide and stretched out his big hand to her, Adelaide smirked, looked up at his blue eyes, and suddenly felt his heart melt in the pupils of this sea, so he dizzily put his hand into the other's hand, and then a powerful warmth wrapped around her little hand, straight into his chest.
"Your Excellency Ida's youngest daughter, right, I hope you like Tarsus. Your men and Lord Welf will have to wait a while to get here, so you and your mother will stay here for the time being, and I will entertain you. Gawain's tone was warm, but calm.
"Yes, yes, I love Tarsus." Adelaide just smiled, and involuntarily repeated the sentence.
If she had loved Lambert for a young, handsome and enthusiastic man, and for Gawain, who was now standing in front of her, Adelaide felt that he could not have more strongly satisfied the template of the hero in her mind, which was a kind of love mixed with adoration and begging, and a girl's crazy love for a mature, steady man, so how she wanted to be a little yellow warbler in such a man's cage, bathing in the love that the other party gave herself, singing the most beautiful clouds in the sky.
