The banquet reached its climax with the entry of the Persian dancers, but Adelaide saw that the noble and beautiful princess in purple on the opposite seat was constantly waving and smiling at her. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

In the moonlit garden, Dedot and Adelaide strolled side by side along the paths, and to the surprise of the little Austrian princess, the princess was fluent in many languages and was able to communicate with her very well—nay, to be more accurate, with her.

And Dedor's language is also very timeless and elegant, and she can skillfully say pun witticisms, and even more easily quote poetry, which fascinates Adelaide, and the two are of the same age, and they quickly become good friends who "talk about everything".

At the gazebo at the end of the garden, the two sat down to rest in the moonlight and the beautiful flowers, and a young squire dressed in a Saracen robe served a delicious refreshment—Adelaide looked at the young man with great pleasure and attention, and marveled at his handsomeness and whiteness, and watched him until he turned out of sight.

"You don't have to look at him anymore, I'm not going to match you up." Dai Duo pursed her lips and laughed, politely mocking her newfound sister.

"Is he yours?" Adelaide asked, widening his eyes.

Dedo laughed, "My husband and I are both Orthodox Christians, and this will not happen to me, even if I didn't like a man before, but once I marry him, I will obey him unconditionally and respect him." With that, she continued to look at Adelaide with a smile, "Also, do you know why I just said that?" Because the man was from Paphragonia and was castrated before he was enshrined in my husband's house. ”

"Castration ......," Adelaide stammered, not quite sure what the operation meant for men, or how it worked. Because the hometown where she lives is not in the habit of using eunuchs.

So he still has no beard, and his skin is as white as a woman's. But in this case, he will not be able to give us women unspeakable happiness. Dai Duo said earnestly.

The purple-clothed princess on the other side was from above, although she was still younger than Adelaide.

Adelaide grew up under the strict discipline of his parents (his father Leopold was the master of Austria), but the depressed sapling longed for the sun and rain the more he was bathed, so he had long been fascinated by the love affair between men and women.

"I have heard that in Alemanni and Salian you have a custom that men have the right to their wives and sisters?" Dedot asked in return, and Adelaide hurriedly waved his hand, saying that this vice had been eradicated by the local church for hundreds of years.

Dedot understood, but she soon sighed and poured out her heart to Adelaide, "My dear sister, such words can only be shared here by you and me, and you should keep them as confidential as I respect your intimate thoughts." In fact, what woman doesn't want to find tall and brave heroes? Your epics and our poems have more than once shaken the hearts of all the women who read them. It's a pity that all of this is no longer possible for me. But you, who are as young as a delicate flower, do you also have such thoughts? ”

Adelaide bowed her head, very shy, but did not deny Dedo's words.

At this moment, Dedot smiled knowingly, and pulled out several foldable miniature paintings from her narrow sleeves, and spread them out in front of Adelaide's eyes, "Actually, my inquiry is not unfounded, although I will not betray my husband, but I have been in love with another man before, and he is also the greatest Christian warrior in this plateau that can give birth to heroic poetry." ”

The torches burning around the pavilion illuminated the seats where the two women were sitting. Adelaide saw the folded paintings in front of him without any obstacles, and they were strung together with leather ropes like a series of stories.

"This is what my personal artist did." Dedo sighed, pointed to the first one, and said, "This is his battle in the Nicaean Gorge. ”

Following the instructions of the princess in purple, Adelaide looked intently, and saw a man without a helmet on the picture, riding on a black horse that was neighing violently (this will, Sabina in the stables of the royal family of Tarsus, snorted fiercely), holding a sword wrapped in flames, the corpses of many enemies fell on the ground, blood and severed limbs were everywhere under the horses' hooves, and on the opposite side were rows of dark-skinned pagan soldiers, spears stretched out one by one, like hedgehogs, it was obviously the Konya Turkic army, The man's face was full of awe, and above his blade were several blessed angels flying with wings.

"What a brave man in the truest sense of the word." Adelaide was immediately impressed by the image, and folded his hands on his thriving chest in praise.

"Yes, he was ambushed and besieged by six thousand Konyan Turkic murderers in the Nicaea Gorge, but he bravely rushed out and killed countless fierce enemies, which is why my father then entrusted him with the command of the Italian side." Dedo touched her belly, which was also beginning to bulge, and spoke with some nostalgia, and then she opened a new painting to Adelaide: on it, Adelaide saw that in the gray clouds and snow, the warrior on a black horse, with angry eyes, held the sword, behind him were many scarlet infantry and cavalry, the infantry were holding shields and spears, and the cavalry was raising a golden meteor hammer behind him, and in front of him there was a burning and shattered stone monument, and at the other end of the picture, A robber-like man with a red beard looked back at the warrior in horror and fled on horseback.

"In the arduous battlefields of Apulia and Naples, he still won one glorious victory after another, capturing and burning Aversa, the ancestral tomb of the Norman bandits, and their chief Bohemond fled." Dai Duo described it in detail.

Adelaide is also fascinated.

In the third painting, Adelaide is surprised to find a tall (twice as large) man with a golden crown of ruby cross and a golden ring standing in the center of the palace building. On either side of him, on the steps on the far right, the samurai stood with his sword in hand, looking affectionately at a petite girl standing by the far left seat, and the girl was outstretching her arms—a colorful bird, rising from her palm, and flying in front of the samurai.

"This ......"

"Yes, in the middle is my father, the emperor of this empire. Under his loving witness, the samurai accepted the rainbow bird I had given me, and also accepted my friendship, which was supposed to be my husband and I was supposed to be his wife. Speaking of this, Dai Duo couldn't help but get excited, "Originally, the bravest man in this empire should be mine, and I can also assist him in accomplishing a great feat." (To be continued.) )
