"Anna!" Alexios walked in quickly with a worried face, and he half-knelt in front of his daughter, but he was a little away from Erin, because he was afraid that Erin had poison hidden in his body, or a sharp blade used to attack him, if so, it was exactly in Alexios' hands.

"Father, I'm sorry father" Anna's face was full of guilt and uneasiness, and she was terrified, if her father had directly exiled her, or imprisoned her in a convent, it would have been fine. But in this state, she didn't know what Alexios' "love" for her was now, but soon her father gently took her little hand and put it on his beautiful beard and cheek, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I have already understood and dealt with everything - your uncle, Irene's brother I will be punished lightly, just deprive him of the title of Caesar, and the post of Supreme Commander of Asia, and then just tell him to go to the Thracian mountains to live in a cautious place, okay - Do you and your mother understand what I mean? You have no crimes, and I will protect you both more properly and diligently than I did before in the Brachna Palace. ”

"Your Majesty, will the cunning male lion always do this to the weak in his eyes? But I don't need your mercy, I orchestrated this coup d'état. I'm sure Anna might be teased in the palm of her hand by a hypocrite like you because of her young age, but she'll regret it eventually," Erin burst out laughing.

"I won't allow anyone here to talk any more! The queen was obviously terrified, and she was showing signs of delirium, and you were holding my wife and daughter. Return to the Brachna Palace, where I will then appoint a physician myself. Treat her carefully, and God Christ will bless her who is good and faithful. Alexios exclaimed. Without allowing Irene to continue, she got up and gave such an order, and then the samurai and the maids stepped forward, hugged Erin, who was constantly sneering, and Anna, who was restless, and closely supervised them, left the cathedral, carried them on their shoulders, and followed the secluded and uninhabited arrow path towards the palace.

Then. When the emperor saluted the patriarch, Maastas did not have any expression, and said to Alexios, "Thank you Your Majesty for your very timely rescue, but I still hope that Your Majesty can stop here and not make any unfavorable actions against Erin and Anna, otherwise the old decay will continue to be as persistent as it has been for more than ten years." ”

Alexios, who bowed his head, didn't answer anything, just nodded slightly

After nightfall, Anna collapsed sideways on the couch by the window of the dormitory. With complicated tears in her eyes, she covered herself with the gown she had worn this morning, and several strange eunuchs and maids were helping her tidy up her bookcases and tables inside and out. Of course, the inside story is to check her correspondence and notes.

Her mother, on the other hand, was imprisoned in the palace near the Imperial Garden, far from her. In this case, what can be done even if you are worried? She and her mother were both fiascos. All defeated at the hands of her biological father, Anna sighed. I can't help but think of my childhood:

At a very young age, Anna knew that her father did not love her mother. This sensitive scar has always affected her subconsciously, why is this happening? "Doesn't my father love me, but how can he dislike my mother? Why did my mother often wash her face with tears in the corners of the palace all day and night? ”

At first, Anna ran to the piles of old papers and books for answers, but then she realized that her father loved her because she was the daughter of Komnenos and the jewel of the empire. But in his father's eyes, his mother was nothing more than a figure who lent out the concubine, just as he saw his mother's dowry as the support of the Ducasse family for his ascension to the throne.

But she still didn't blame her father! Because after all, my father is so gentle with him.

But as Anna became an adult and wore a purple robe, she became more and more aware that her future was very important to the Empire. Women can also seek their own power, right? There are even times when Anna thinks that her mother Erin is too stupid, and since her father urgently needs the support of the Ducasse family, why didn't her mother directly ask for the position of regent? Instead, he waited foolishly until his grandmother entered the convent to put this matter on the agenda, and he also had to attract competition and criticism from Marlena's woman, and he also pitifully hoped to use his children to share the "favor" of the stars that his father gave from Marlena, and continued to numb and have hopeless nightmares.

So Anna is constantly using her nobility and influence, hoping to find people who are like-minded with her, and the biggest investment is naturally Gawain.

But at this moment, Gawain didn't know where, but she and her mother were defeated solidly, and the defeat was so bad, Anna only then understood, "Women are born weak", and God also said that women and snakes are always natural enemies, "If you hurt the head of the snake, the snake will hurt your heel", and "The husband will always be your master, and you will always admire him and obey him", before she forgot God's warning and chose to believe in the devil's demagoguery in dreams.

Isn't it? The facts are in front of us, when Anna was arched by the stars in the past, no matter what kind of identity people had, they could touch their purple robe as a lifelong glory; No matter how far away the kings and princes of the region are, they all long day and night to marry her who was born in the Purple Lion Palace; Under this feeling of intoxication, and under the connivance and pampering of her father, Anna grew up step by step, and she became more and more self-conscious day by day. But today, before her father's sword was unsheathed, she happily crushed all her dreams, "Give it up like this, Anna, and you will obediently be the canary in your father's cage, and the bride of the Brenus family, like your grandmother, and devote your life to the man's country, then in the future in the annals of history, you will be a model of virtue and humility for Roman princesses and even all women." Obviously, this is the father's public line.

"No, father, I'm unwilling." Anna seemed to be talking to herself, whispering this, outside the window, the wind that had become cold had hit, and the flowers and trees in the imperial garden below the palace made a hollow and mournful whistling, which also confirmed Anna's state of mind at this time, she pulled up her dress, and rekindled her ** and fighting spirit, "The snake in the dream, you didn't abandon me, you just dived back into my heart, and Anna. Komnenos will no longer be confused, and will really fight for his mother. ”

And the eunuch at the desk picked up Anna's diary scroll last night, and he vaguely felt that it could help the future of the eldest princess (after all, this eunuch was still a loyal person), so he secretly asked the maid to pass it on to His Majesty.

About a minute later, Alexios, who was in Marlena's bedchamber, saw the words "My father is greater than me" that Anna had transcribed at the end of the book, and several repeated and scribbled words "Father is sorry", and suddenly felt that any holiday with his daughter was going to be shattered.
