In the three edicts, Anna's fingerprints are pressed on several words, some horizontally and some diagonally, and the letters covered with ink can be stitched together to form a complete sentence, a complete meaning, a crazy gamble and determination.

"Sarabria."

"Before Christmas."

"I don't want this marriage."

And in the copy left for her father, Anna also left a hidden message according to this pattern, and she also hoped that her father could see it clearly,

"Let the father's children be like the stars, having the gates of their enemies."

"But I'm sorry, my daughter is gone."

It was unclear to anyone how Anna had spent her nights in pain and hesitation in the lonely room, and she had sent this information out, but she was not sure if Gawain would receive it. When Gawain came to visit her father that day, accepted his father's official canonization, and promised her marriage to Dedor, she was almost devastated, and then Gawain said to her, "You must believe me in the future", which made her fight again.

Suddenly, Anna shook her body a few times on the aqueduct, and then her hand grabbed the edge, and in front of her eyes, suddenly there was a descending range, sandwiched between the valleys, and behind her, Anna heard an intermittent cry from Mikhail, "It's too late to hesitate!" Anna thought so, and then lay down on the bone-cold snow, followed the trough, and steadied herself so that she could not roll out, and slid straight down!

At that time, this aqueduct was also a "secret passage" for the capture of Constantinople: it was still during the Heraclius Dynasty that Justinian II, with the resentment of being expelled from the capital and losing his throne, climbed back to the capital from here and successfully counterattacked. Today. It became Anna's escape. This fawn-like delicate bride is now like a cannonball out of the chamber (if people can understand this comparison in this era), with friction flying ice chips, sliding down the groove that is 100 feet long, waiting for her to stand up again by holding on to the stone wall. Her whole back was soaked, and her beautiful gown had been cut a few times, but the princess did not dare to delay in the slightest, and she climbed the ladder to the tower of the cistern on the ridge of the mountain, where the sun was still shining, and she stood up and saw the barren field of Salabrea below, and the sparkling and crooking river. Rushing through the snow towards the Golden Horn, on the south side is the rocky valley of the Leices, surrounded by thick and majestic walls, connected to the main river of the city, and then by a dense black forest in the east and west.

"Your Highness the Princess!" Anna looked back in horror: the figures of Mikhail and the other two guards, shouting and crawling, had come into her view. One more minute, one minute at most. They would come here and pull themselves back, and the dark and lonely monastery was waiting for them, and the next fifty years of their lives would probably have to be spent there.

The spire of the monastery, dedicated to the Virgin Mary, flashes and flashes. With the holy and holy radiance, the aqueduct hovered above it like a python, and below it was the entire Brachna Palace, and Anna looked down on it all, thinking of three years ago. There she was, because she was playful, and for the first time she encountered the sight of the great brute—the dancing sunlight and the floating seeds, the blue-eyed fellow, who lifted himself up and looked at herself with bewilderment, like a kitten whose head was mischievous and jumped up on a branch but could not get down.

"Should I regret meeting you or not?"

Anna turned to look down again, the tower was built along the river and the mountains, with siphon pipes and water trucks underneath, but if Anna slipped down from here, she would surely drown in the raging river.

Beside it, a steep snow-covered hillside that leads to the land below, Anna's only remaining escape route is fraught with danger. In her memories in advance, Anna, who was familiar with the floor plan of the entire imperial capital, faced the cold wind, closed her eyes, clenched her fists, and shouted again, "Our Lady!" ”

"Eldest Princess!" Mikhail stretched out his hand, and he could hardly believe how he could explain to His Majesty, "Quick, quick, hurry." ”

At this moment, in front of the Church of the Holy Apostles, more and more people poured in, people took off their hats, talked to each other, waited for Princess Anna and Brenus to complete the ceremony, walked up to the terrace, and then expressed their heartfelt wishes to the newlyweds. But the truth was that Brenus continued to sit in wonder on his shoulder, which had stopped, and waited uneasily, and Tetisius was by his side, remembering what the catcher had said to him before entering the city gates, and he had a subtle conjecture in his heart, but he did not express it, but closed his eyes in a complicated manner, and ignored it.

All the samurai stood on the stairs and were silent.

In the palace, the Emperor staggered, "Now, I will pursue Gawain, and even if Anna runs out of Sarabria, my cavalry will chase them back." I'm going to castrate Gawain and put him in a dungeon like a brute, and let him taste the darkness forever!" ”

Sabina's horseshoe, stirring up the white snow, carried her master like black lightning, and swept through the forest and the ruins of buildings. Anna's decision, of course Gawain understood, but because he was monitored by the eunuchs that day, neither of them could pick out the words, but Gawain could absolutely see it in his eyes, and he gambled wildly, this is his wish now.

"Gawain's hooves, disappeared here? No, it's not gone, it's just so messy that it's hard to tell. "At the edge of the forest, the warden who had been following him also jumped off his horse, crouched down and discerned in the snow, and then he put Gust Cloud and the mule behind him, climbed up a horizontal rock himself, leaned the flail against it, and drew his bow and arrows—and he saw that a horse was coming towards him, and it was Gawain! And in front of the saddle sat a small man with a cloak, could it be that Diognis felt that his eyes were dark, and he was sad and indignant, and his fears and warnings finally became true, and Gawain had indeed abducted the eldest princess, and was to flee from St. Atkins Gate to the camp of the Red Hand United, and then elope to Asia Minor?

"Even if it is Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Empire, it is not possible to protect the reputation of the whole of Rome and His Majesty, even if it is!" Theognes' eyes were red, and he put the arrow on the string, and then his heart was filled with resentment and hatred, and then he stood up, and flew an arrow at the galloping horse's head, and it hit the "little man", and then the other man rolled down, and Diognes' tears fell.

However, the man on horseback only now saw his true face, a fair-skinned Turkic in the form of a servant of Gawain, whom Giogenis recognized, but it was too late for the catcher to think it all through: Muzafiadin also took out his bow and arrows like lightning, and fired an arrow, and the catcher jumped sideways and dodged from the rock, and the arrow swept over his head and shot into the trunk of the tree beside the ancient silk cloud and the mule, which frightened the Norman woman, and the snow on the tree was shaken, and fell on her head and neck, and the mule that instinctively felt danger, He also broke free from her reins and ran in the opposite direction.

Theognes turned and picked up the flail, ready to jump on his mount and fight with the other - with a neigh, Muzafiadin directly carried the reins, jumped over the rock with the warhorse, the horse's hooves fell on the snow, and the scimitar of the Turkic servant also chopped down, Theognis rolled on the ground, lifted the flail, and blocked Muzafiadin's chopping, and then he looked distractedly at his wife, and then at the "little man" who had just fallen on the snow, but realized that it was not a person at all, but only a shield wrapped around his face.

In a distraction, Muzafiadin's second knife slashed again, and Diognis blocked it, and then picked up the copper hammer at the bottom of the flail and smashed it into the horse's abdomen, and the horse ran over with Muzafiadin in pain. "Where the hell did your lewd master hide the princess!" Diognis roared, threw out the lasso, and wrapped his neck around the soldier's back, pulling him straight down.

But the nimble Muzafiadin was in mid-air, spun in a circle, and with a scimitar attached to his arm, with a "gra" sound, he wrenched the lasso of Diognis, like a bird falling on the snow. The catcher held the flail and attacked him, but Muzafiadin first strangled the head of the flail with his scimitar and the pole, then rolled sideways on the snow, drew his dagger, and snatched it into Theognes's arms and stabbed him in a serial attack.

Diognis stepped back again and again, "Get out of here, Turkic dog, Gawain's dog!" ”

"The master's order is not to let you go." The military servants did not give up.

As the two fought back and forth on the snow, Gusyun gritted her teeth and wanted to come to her husband's aid, so she drew her axe from the jacket of Theognes' mount, and then let out a Norman roar, lifted it, and struck at the back of the Turkic servant.

With a "boom", a pine tree that had been pressed by the snow burst open, and from the tree in between, a knight who had been ambushed in advance rushed out, and the white light staggered, with a crisp sound—Gu Siyun's axe was knocked away by his galloping blade, "Gu Siyun! The catcher cried out in fear, and then the stubborn Norman woman took a few steps backwards with her hands and feet, and though she was unarmed, she screamed fiercely, and continued to charge forward.

A hand crossbow that had been loaded, in the knight's hand, straight at her, Gu Siyun instinctively stayed in place, was locked, she moved slightly, and the crossbow also shook with her, "Don't move lady, my crossbow only has one shot, you have no choice." Bramsson, who was also holding a sword, said coldly on his mount, and then he turned to the side, "Commander, after all, we still have a friendship of fighting side by side, don't embarrass each other." Put down your weapons, I won't kill your wife, as for Princess Anna should be picked up by His Excellency the Grand Duke now, she is also very safe, His Excellency will take good care of her, and will not let the princess suffer any grievances.
