The princess's face immediately turned redder, "We don't get the forgiveness of our family and lovers. Her gaze was at the silk sac hanging from Gawain's neck, and the hair inside was clearly blonde and eye-catching.

It seems that the wise Anna immediately learned that Gawain had not lived as an ascetic monk after going to Italy to fight, but she was not afraid, in her small body, there was the pride and generosity of a princess of the Roman Empire, even if her father stripped her of her title, but in her soul.

However, Gawain was a little uneasy and changed the topic, "It's a pity that there are books in St. John's Church. ”

"That's okay, it's all in my memory. Anna will take everything and follow you with you, and your oath, hopefully, do not forget that Anna has nothing but these now. Gawain, help me to raise my feet, or this drink will pour into my throat. Although Anna's voice was weak, her spirit was vigorous, and Gawain bent his arms behind her hair, and wrapped his arms around her delicate neck and back, so that Anna leaned on and sat up half-sitting, this posture was similar to hugging each other, Anna's eyes rolled shyly and uneasily, and she was also awkwardly looking for a topic, "Will you go to the Holy City?" After two sips of her drink, she asked.

"Let's go to Asia Minor first." Gawain's tone did not have the fanaticism and persistence of other pilgrims.

"I'll follow you and help you plan, no, help me plan the royal industry." Anna sat obediently curled up in Gawain's arms, her demeanor completely inconsistent with her words.

"Tomorrow we will go to the north of the Golden Horn to find a Venetian or other merchant and find a way to find a boat to sail from the small port of the fishing village on the other side of the Spring Valley."

"Hmm." Anna nodded, indicating that she would listen to the arrangement of the big barbarian.

Soon after, Muzafi Adin removed the roasted roe deer meat. Vigilantly extinguished the fire, and then brought it in—and after a while the servant came out with his blanket in his arms, grunting, and tearing at his share of meat, and sitting under the eaves as he watched the long skate, tilting his head and frowning. "It seems that tonight is going to rest outside again, one after another, the Grand Duke is like this, as long as he gets along with a beautiful woman, regardless of age or skin color, something unusual will start to happen when he gets along"

Still complaining, the Grand Duke who came out smashed his fist on top of him, and then Muzafi Adin grinned and sat down on the steps under the eaves. Holding his head and looking at Gawain standing next to him, "Tonight you go to the stable, sleep with that Slavic hunter, watch the people, and watch the horses." I am also to keep watch outside the house, and be careful not to start a fire. ”

"Isn't it that you should be with the princess?" Some cunning Turkic servant whispered.

The food was well eaten in the house. And lay down to rest Anna, with her ears sideways. Daze also heard the soldier's words, and immediately nervously turned to the inside, his eyes widened: Why is it so fast? Although he had made a plan before, if he managed to escape, he would be prepared to be alone with Gawain, and he wanted to completely cut off the back road anyway. can

So Anna nervously used her hand under the blanket to take out the saffron in the pendant around her neck, took a deep breath, cleared her mind, and then touched the ** she was wearing. Precision embroidery, but also incense, very soft and proper, is okay; Then he touched his arm again, and although he had been bruised when he ran away, it was fine; As for that time, it is also right, and these basic knowledge are also recorded in the royal women's etiquette books, and Anna read them "before she got married"; In the end, Anna touched her chest with her hand, and immediately became a little discouraged, Gawain's silk sac was filled with blonde hair, it must have been a Varyag woman, just like Yudohya, but her own here, she can only use the word "subtle" to describe the analogy, like a delicate flower bone, and the Varyag girls are completely incomparable, even if they are squeezed sideways, they are also-

"What if this is the case, the great barbarian does not like the gentle hills of the capital, but only the magnificent Olympia of Minor Asia? Even if he accommodates himself, but what if it fills me with frustration for the first time? Anna's little head flashed countless strange scenes and thoughts in an instant, allowing herself to mess up, her little hands tugging at the belt on her collar, and her face was red.

But outside the panel, Gawain's reply, though low, was clear, "How could that happen now?" What's more, being in such a place is simply a great disrespect to Her Royal Highness the Princess. Take a short night's rest, and tomorrow you'll sneak along the forests and swamps to the Spring Valley. ”

Gawain's worries and decisions were not unreasonable, the emperor's cavalry and spies were moving around, laying a net, and if they did not cross the strait, they would be in great danger every day. Even Anna combed herself from her momentary shyness, and repeatedly blamed herself for thinking how she could be worthy of the Virgin Mary, and after a while she listened to the sound of Gawain's footsteps pacing outside, and fell into a deep sleep.

At this moment, the time in the imperial capital seemed to freeze, and the people who were already waiting outside the cathedral with back pain couldn't help but start complaining and questioning in a low voice, and Brenus also anxiously tapped his fingers on the shoulder of the car, not knowing what to do.

In the palace where the queen was, Alexios was dazed, swaying his body, and after arranging the task of searching, he carried the crown thrown down by Anna, walked back to Irene's bed, and then stared at his youngest daughter Dedor. Komnenos.

"Father" looked at her father's eyes, and Daido's tone began to become unstable, and she was very afraid.

"Daido, they all betrayed their father and deceived me, not only your sister, but also your fiancé Gawain." Alexios replied, "I knew that I should have executed that shameless barbarian. If I had done this earlier, I wouldn't have lost Anna," he began to choke up at this point. And Queen Irene, who was sitting on the couch, also began to be silent.

Then, under Dai Duo's exclamation, the eunuchs draped the bride's dress and the crown in His Majesty's hand on her body, "I am too lazy to look for this pair of rebellious and unfaithful men and women, Anna is not worthy of continuing to bear the surname Komnenos, I will now remove her identity as a purple princess, so Dai Duo, you will now take over all the glory that originally belonged to Anna, for the sake of your father and the Komnenos family, go and complete this sacred ceremony!" ”

"What are you going to do, what are you going to do!" Erin was like a mother beast guarding her cubs, trying to pounce on her little daughter, but Alexios stepped forward and separated her very proportionately, "You are a pregnant holy woman, continue to rest for the time being." ”

"How so!" In a panic, Dai Duo, who was wearing the crown, was just thinking about the mechanical bird that was borrowed from her by the blue-eyed barbarian, and helpless tears flowed down, she never thought that she was originally pressed on that mechanism, didn't she say it to her father? And that blue-eyed barbarian was also in the sacred and noble hall, and personally promised to marry himself on the other side of the strait on the golden festival of the coming year!

But why, in my father's mouth, it was my sister and the blue-eyed brute who ran away and disappeared without a trace, but stayed by myself as a temporary substitute for a poor actor in a tragic opera.

Why

"From then on, in the imperial books and documents, Anna was not allowed to appear. The name Komnenos is only allowed to be used in Apate. Philotes (a combination of the names of the goddesses of deception and lust in Greek pagan mythology) instead. The Emperor's angry voice continued to echo in Dai Duo's ears.

The absurd wedding was finally completed under the eyes of the people, Deduo was covered face, wore a heavy crown, secretly shed tears of sorrow, held hands with Brenus, walked on the terrace of the Cathedral of the Holy Apostles, and accepted the heartfelt blessings of countless people, no one knew what the princess in purple was like, since the emperor approved it, then whether it was Dedot or Anna, no one cared at all.

But on the other hand, Alexios did not give up his search for Gawain and his daughter, even if it was only for the purpose of revenge.

The shrewd emperor keenly felt that, according to common sense, it was the most reasonable way for Gawain and Anna to hide in a pilgrim camp of nearly 100,000 fishy. But there are many people, and there are also mixed ears and eyes, and the cunning Gao Wen will inevitably consider this. Besides, the other party is also a well-known hero among the pilgrims, and it is impossible to bring a noble and well-mannered little girl without arousing everyone's speculation.

So, where will Gawain go.

"Mikhail, you say that Anna has been abducted by Gawain, did you see it with your own eyes?"

"Yes, Gawain took Her Royal Highness with her, and seemed to be following the St. Atkins Gate. His horse was fast, and we walked along the aqueduct, which we could not catch up with, as all three of us had witnessed. Mikhail replied.

"No, that's just Gawain's trick." After Alexios stabilized, he pulled a line on the map with his finger, which was in the direction of the north, "Asasidus, immediately mobilize the sailors in the fortress of Tsarsidun, and use chains, blockade the entire Golden Horn, especially the Venetian ships sailing from it, pay special attention." A thorough inventory can be carried out before release. I myself led my guards from the gates of Komnenos to the other side of the Golden Horn and searched by land - remember, Assasidus, if you meet Apate. Philotes, if she and that ** barbarian dare to resist, use swords, spears, bows and arrows, even flames, and kill them on the spot, this is my order! If I had encountered it, I would have done it without hesitation. ”

"Yes, my majesty." The reinstated Commander of the Naval Grand Earl, Assasidus, stroked his chest and agreed. (To be continued.) )
