"Over there at Fort Alarmán, how is Nika's reaction?" Thinking of this thorn, Anna raised her finger to her cheek and asked the imperial ink officer beside her.

"Nika releases the deputy heraldic officer."

"I see, he saw the leech in the painting."

"But Wright. Bozia also brought back a pastel painting of the blind veteran, saying that it was a gift to Her Royal Highness the Princess. With that, Agnes took a collapsible board from the bag of the mule and horse next to her, and spread it out in the sunlight, revealing the scene before the princess's eyes.

The princess fixed her lake-like eyes, projected the picture into it, and then sighed, lifted the curtain over her shoulder, and came out among the people kneeling down, looking at the rebellious tree at the foot of the mountain, "It grieves me to uproot the bravest old man from Seleucia like a lone tree on a cliff." ”

"Smack." The drawing board suddenly closed, and Agnes's gray eyes disappeared from the color of the painting, and then quickly retracted her hands, and also half-knelt at the princess's side, "But I, Anna. Ducasse swore by his noble head that Callegos, the once noble and glorious surname, had disappeared from the land, just like the Aspar family. Waiting for the return of the Grand Duke, leaving Branath to continue to besiege the castle in the valley here, while our main force advanced to attack Alarman, and tried to let the Grand Duke have no worries about leading the army after the spring ploughing in the coming year, and continue to the city of Antioch. Anna chopped her little hand off. The quick command said, "Since Nika wants to die in the city." Then he will do what he wants, if he tries to call for help from my brother or my father. Then Gawain and I will crush John's forces. ”

"It is said that the Grand Duke has signed an oath with His Majesty the Emperor that there shall be no encroachment on any excess frontier territory for one year." Several generals were afraid that they felt that the purple-clothed princess still didn't know and said the wrong thing, so they hurriedly reminded them.

Who would have thought that the princess was wearing her sleeves, looking at the splendid color of the valley under the mountain, the grass that was blown and swayed by the wind buried her skirt, and the corners of her mouth sneered, "Alalmanburg was originally under the jurisdiction of the Seleucian Tema Military Region, and I took my own land." There is no need to report to anyone. ”

Then a subtle trace of sorrow flashed in the corner of the princess's eyes, and the words in her mouth were said, "Is this my home?" Then she turned her head slightly to the north, where flags and spears were lined up, and the sound of trumpets and horns and flutes was incessant in the wind, and it was the return of Gawain's Red Hand Brigade

In the palace of the city of Philadelphiam, John sat on a chair and looked at the two sedate women standing at the bottom, one of whom was the hair color of a Greek noblewoman. One was blonde, with a very beautiful countenance, surrounded by the retainers and personal soldiers of his brother-in-law Brenus, who had been "politely escorted" by Brenus from the harbor of Athens. "Your sister is Yudohya, the wife of the chief of the palace guards, right?" John frowned and finished reading the letter from his brother-in-law and sister, clutching the letter in his hand. An Ran put it down, and a little sympathy swelled up in his heart. "Sure enough, it's all the looks and hair colors of the Varyag women."

"I am grateful for the forbearance of His Excellency Peni Passer Bastos, the third honour of the Empire. Get us all the way here. Ingridina's hair was a little messy, and she hung down in front of her forehead, and she didn't say a word, and Chiser next to her, seeing that the situation was not good, hurriedly complimented and rounded the prince on the seat—she understood that Dedot, after telling the widow about Gawain and Anna's adultery, threatened and seduced the widow, promising to restore her the property and lintel of the Mesadini family, and to keep her in Corinth to continue to preside over the silk weaving factory, but Ingrid refused to comply, and Daido, who was angry, sent them to Prince John on the border of the empire.

In addition, of course, Chiser understood that in the letter, the meek and petite-looking Dai Duo. What did Komunen say: Now that Gawain is rebellious and gathers bandits to endanger the empire, I will send this abusive woman to your brother, if Gawain is obsessed again, then she should be killed, because now the wealth of Bari City is all built by her, and killing her can cut off one of Gawain's arms, "I'm afraid it will also fulfill my sister's wishes." Dedo said at the end of the letter.

"The current state of the border under my jurisdiction, and I want you to know, is that Gawain has gathered more elite soldiers than the entire Panphelia region, and is storming the fortress of Alalman." After a long sigh of relief, John rolled the letter diagonally, stood up and recounted that he did not know the elegant language of the court, and used all the tone of a commoner.

Ingrida lowered her eyes, still silent.

Qi Se's face turned pale.

"My sister, her heart is twisted. Brenus spoiled her too much. This was the second sentence of the prince.

"I can understand your sister's feelings." At this point, Ingrid finally spoke.

Dedot did not send Ingrid to Constantinople, of course, for a good reason, she knew that even if her father always called her sister "Apate", no guard, eunuch or maid was allowed to mention Anna's name, otherwise she would be whipped or beheaded, but her father still favored Anna the most, even if her sister shamelessly deceived the whole family and eloped with Gawain. Now the father can execute Ingrena, he can annihilate Gawain, but once Anna is in front of him, he will still forgive the other party.

"No, Anna must never be forgiven, and the deceiver should be punished and tormented forever in the karmic fires of hell!" Every time I thought of this, Dai Duo's beautiful eyebrows were twisted together, her hands were pinching the smock on her chest, and her bright little lips were almost gnawed by her teeth, "Obviously, I signed a marriage contract with Gao Wen first, is it possible that as a younger sister, I have to be humiliated and teased by you like this?" ”

Therefore, Dedo sent Inglona here: if John told Gawain the news and threatened Gawain to withdraw from the army, then his sister would inevitably have a gap with Gawain, and even turn against him.

It doesn't matter if Gawain doesn't retreat, John's execution of the widow, sister and Gawain will also produce spikes that can never be removed, and from time to time they will stab both of them all over the body.

If John had relented and sent the widow to Gawain, it would have been fine—let Gawain and his sister have a great deal of trouble about it; And my sister will hate John completely; In addition, I also secretly reported the news to my father, so that he would no longer trust John, and that it might be my husband Brenus who would take the throne in the future.

It would have been better if John had sent the widow to Constantinople and had his father execute the widow (Alexios would not have spared her), so that his father would always be hostile to Gawain and sooner or later Crush Seleucia to ashes.

Qi Se also thought of this, she was an extremely intelligent noblewoman, so her face was pale, cold sweat flowed, quietly and restlessly holding her breath, looking at the thoughtful Prince John, now all the fate is in the hands of this swarthy young man!

"Come to think of it, this is the only way to deal with the two ladies," a few minutes later, Prince John turned to them, and said this leisurely with a cold face.
