Kabeamia, who stayed in the camp, gradually got up again, she walked to the makeup mirror, looked at herself for a while, and suddenly hated her skin color, and hated her hair color, but the road ahead still has to be strong on her own, and she can't count on anyone, she has fantasies and weak thoughts, and she is ashamed in the moment just now.

After thinking about it, Kabeamia stared at her beautiful eyes and slowly took out the hair clippers from the box, which had been carefully cultivated for the past two weeks when she had been captured, when Gawain's sword of phosphorus fire had slashed the hair on her left cheek, making her asymmetrical. "Click, click, click" slightly, and the hair that had grown out was once again used by Kabeamia with scissors to return to its original style, and they were all resigned.

In the early morning of the next day, the soldiers of the Dalian Brigade drew water from wooden barrels by the river, washed and fed the horses, the servants carried the wooden spears of the tent supports, loaded the baggage wagons, and many columns of commanders began to stand in the camp to the designated place, and announced to each other with trumpets and small drums that they were to continue their march along the Thrace River in the direction of Constantinople.

"The rest of Merlot's team won't arrive until three days later." Gawain touched his freshly shaved beard, got out of the tent, and walked in the direction of the camp gate, listening to the report of the Brotherhood beside him, "Well, leave a small number of garrison men to deal with Merlot's followers." ”

Then, in the sunlight, he saw in the doorway, Cabeamia was on a horse, and several military servants with luggage were standing behind her, and the woman's long hair had been combed into long braids and coiled behind her head, and the cut hair hung alone in front of her left cheek. Covered with light leather armor and with a bulltongue sword that had been returned to her on her belt, she looked at Gawain, "Goodbye." With that, the consul took the reins and turned toward the field beyond the camp gate. He ran without looking back.

Seeing her departing back, Gao Wen pinched the hilt of his sword, then turned around and looked at the soldiers who were getting ready to go, "Finally, it's time to march towards the imperial capital again." ”

The monastery bell of Brachna Palace rang, and in front of the palace hall, Marlena was trembling with anger and took Prince John by the hand. When she reached the winding cloister, several eunuchs and maids hurried forward, stopped her, and pleaded, "Your Excellency the Regent of the court, I beg that the chief lady should not enter the Brachna Palace for the next few days, for there is an important matter here"

"What a big deal! Now His Majesty of the Empire oversees the war in the outer fort, and in the Imperial Capital there is the Patriarch Maastas who presides over the Law and Justice. When will it be the turn of the so-called palace regents to decide? What's more, the current crown prince is Prince John next to me, and that woman is just an agent of court affairs. His Majesty did not let her be the regent of this empire at all, so there was no reason to keep my mother and son out. Marlena angrily accused, and then the eunuchs screamed in fright when they heard the chief lady actually call the queen "that woman", and fell to the floor, covering their ears with their hands. It means that these blasphemous and offensive words have not been put into the ears.

So Marlena took the opportunity to continue to "break through", and the momentum was unstoppable, and a group of eunuchs and maids rushed to him, kneeling down in front of the prince and the chief lady, and pleading in a low voice. And blocked.

In the midst of the noise, a eunuch Si Chen in the queen's bedroom walked out of the hall at this moment, looked at the chief lady with some pride, and after the salute was finished, "Her Royal Highness the queen invites you in." Then the crowd dispersed, and Marlena thought for a while, and with that momentum, she pushed John, and under the guidance of the eunuch, she walked into the palace.

In the palace, in the center is the throne with its back to the entrance, separated by colonnades and curtains, to maintain the mystery of the emperor and empress, and the ordinary envoys and servants can usually only see the back of the large and small thrones, bow down and perform the work, and then after receiving the reward and comfort of the eunuch's agent, they leave on their own - few people can really see the honor of the emperor and empress, in this respect they are not as good as ordinary guards and servants, the Byzantine Roman royal family is to give them such a feeling.

Outside the colonnade was a U-shaped corridor through which Marlena and John came to the opposite side of the throne, and she was horrified by what they saw.

The one holding the armrest of the lion's head of the Great Throne was actually Erin with a smug and cold face. Komunen, while Anna sat on the small throne beside her with a complicated expression, "You are simply unconscious, Your Majesty will know all this, and you and your daughter will be sent to the dungeon of Agnes!" Marlena pointed to the mother and son.

"Sister, a father like you will be sad." John said the same on the side.

"Shut up" Erin spoke on the ground, she didn't see Anna's little face hanging down, and then Caesar and several generals of the empire appeared from behind the throne, "This throne should have been sat by the people of our Ducas family, how can Komnenos be a small military nobleman in terms of genealogy and glory." ”

"You're plotting a coup d'état." Marlena shuddered.

"What is a conspiracy? It's just to get back what should have belonged to Anna. Erin was right, and then she announced, "So I let John and John in, just to make you understand that this is the way it is now—my brother, with five hundred of his Isurian guards, has come to the imperial capital." Tomorrow, at the time of the festival, everyone will go to the Cathedral of the Holy Wisdom, and I will ask the Imperial Governor, the Patriarch, and others to publicly proclaim Anna as the successor of the crown prince. ”

"It's impossible for Anna to be an emperor, she's just a woman." John shouted.

These words stimulated Anna, and she also raised her head and looked at her brother with angry eyes that did not admit defeat, "Why, my wisdom and wisdom are not inferior to any man in this world, maybe I am not interested in the throne, but it does not mean that your words are right!" ”

"This is the rule of the empire, even if you can have the power of the emperor, but you must rule the emperor together, this person is either your sister or your husband."

"Sister I have it now, if my husband wants it, who is not grateful?" Anna said, and then her mother, Irene, applauded, "Anna, you said very well, that is, to have this determination and momentum, not to lose to men. ”

"You're playing with fire and setting yourself on fire." At this time, Marlena stared at Erin deadly, "I will go and send a messenger to Adrianople to tell Your Majesty all this." ”

As a result, several Isurian warriors surrounded the chief lady and the prince, "What are you going to do!" Marlena struggled, shoving, "Do you really think of the inheritance of the empire as a trick?" ”

"No one is messing around with you, Marlena, wait! One hundred thousand pilgrims were now camped on the outskirts of the imperial capital, followed by an elite legion. Their leaders are my subordinates and close friends with Anna, and our superiority has been set, and new times and rules have come with the bell. Erin stood up and threw her arms in the sacred temple as if signaling a decisive battle. (To be continued.) )
