"If only the Callegos brothers had joined forces with you beforehand, they could have driven straight to Seleucian City, so as not to be stopped here, but in that case would you betray Gawain?" Anna bared her sparkling teeth and said with a smile.

Kabeamiya Stopper.

It was not that she did not want to speak, but that she could not answer Anna's words, and that it was a great trap to answer this question—it would have been impossible for her to reply, "If only the Callegos brothers had joined forces with me", that would be death; But if she were an ordinary person, she might have said without thinking that it was impossible for me to betray Gawain.

However, the words "It is impossible for me to betray Gawain" in Anna's ears, if ordinary soldiers, such as Merlot, Billell, and Lambert said it, Anna would only gain emotion, but when she said it from the mouth of Cabeamia, it was equivalent to throwing herself into the middle

And so it was! I miss Gawain's love for you, so it's impossible to betray him, otherwise why would he be so skilled in saying such words? Just as a wife says to her husband. Kabeamiya could already simulate in her mind that Anna's resentful demeanor and aggression were coming.

"I don't know, firstly, the emperor did not send a secret envoy at all, and secondly, the emperor probably also felt that there was no need to send it. Now the power of the Paulicians has been completely ignored and poses no threat to people. Kabeamia thought for a few seconds, and then kicked Keju to Gawain's bitter father-in-law very mellowly, and in addition, he was showing weakness to Anna.

Anna was at a loss for words, but she hadn't been in a bad mood lately, especially in Zefelim City. Yu Gawain's calm calming of the rebellion situation before his return was enough for her to boast proudly for a while, and then she decided to gently let go of Kabeamia, "I can give some of the woodland cutting rights of Hardy Mountain to you believers for free, after all, you are a good believer Kabeamia." "Finished. Anna took over the order book from the little sunfish, after all, this aspect was still managed by her, the chief of the agricultural department, and stamped the small seal of Qiling, Kabeamiya bowed forward and respectfully took the book.

"The fingers and waist are very slender, which is really jealous." At the moment of the wrong hand, Anna suddenly pinched Kabeamia's fingertips.

"No, it's just an ignorant woman in the countryside. It was really exciting to be praised by the elegant and noble princess in purple. The Archoness of the Golden Hand also replied in fluent Greek.

The little sunfish stood in the middle, almost yawning, but what was gratifying was that the two women secretly lasted for just half a minute, which can be called the confrontation of calcium carbide firelight, which was over, and the situation briefly returned to calm.

In the presbyterian hall in the town of Rum. Anna rested for the night and woke up the next day. She first asked the Paulineans not to fill in the ditches dug by the rebels, "because it was a gift from the rebels, and at once two canals would irrigate the surrounding land." Anna then remarked, not without irony, many of the people who had been recruited to know the written language and writing throughout the region. Both Latin and Greek, at the call of the Purple Princess, and on the recommendation of the Brotherhood (in charge of town and administrative affairs) and the Confession (in charge of village reclamation, arbitration, and religious affairs), came to the synagogue, although nominally Anna sought some members of the other divisions. An impromptu meeting was formed, but everyone knew in their hearts that the purple-clothed princess who sat behind the silk curtain and "listened" was the one who could really exert a decisive influence.

Even Kabeamiya stood on the steps to the left of the curtain.

In addition, Firactos, the former confidential officer of Cabeamia, is also in the crowd being questioned, and he actually needs to act as the eyes and ears of the female archon's pawn at the necessary moment to spy on what the purple-clothed princess wants.

Unexpectedly, Anna was the first to ask Firactos, "This young man, are you a Paulician?" ”

"Yes, but I also studied at a language school"

"Is it because your parents sent you there?"

"No, princess in purple, please bear me—my mother was originally just an ordinary shepherdess, but she was defiled by her godfather, who was also the abbot of the local monastery, and I was born, so under the abbot's care, I was able to attend the local Greek school for a few years."

"Do you hate your father?"

"It's a delicate feeling, Your Highness. I am grateful to him for giving me life, but also because of my hatred for him, after his death, I think I saw through the hypocrisy of the Orthodox Church and joined the ranks of true believers. ”

Behind the curtain, Anna nodded, "So what kind of knowledge did your father give you?" Do you know arithmetic and geometry? Do you know agronomy and medicine? Do you know grammar, rhetoric, and astronomy? ”

"I was best at grammar, fluent in written Greek, and I think my father, before he died, wanted me to be a man of government clerkship and law, so that I could make a name for myself in the imperial capital. I also know a little bit about the rest, computing and agronomy. ”

Anna continued to nod, and then said aloud, "All of you are well-versed in culture, and you must have heard of the schools and education in the imperial capital in the past, but the schools in the imperial capital, even St. Peter's College (equivalent to the university in Constantinople), students only like to learn grammar and rhetoric, writing, and law, because this can make them enter the government quickly, which is a shortcut." However, in Seleucia, I have laid down the importance of music, fine arts, mathematics, geometry, astronomy, agriculture, and architecture in addition to these three disciplines, which together are called the 'Ten Arts'. Therefore, in order to promote these arts, and to train more and more qualified and excellent scribes, judges, market notaries, inspectors, singers, engineers, agronomists, and joiners, I decided to spend the remaining three thousand Byzantian gold coins from my budget on the northern platform of the great hospital and the post house district, which is about to be completed, and spend half a year's of my own money to build an independent Seleucian college and library! ”

Then, everyone was stunned, but Anna's tone didn't seem like a joke at all, "This college with a library is also called St. Paul's College. The scenery on the north high platform is very good, there are many beautiful trees, and the river and stream are surrounded below, which is conducive to the students' contemplative study. The craftsmen are also ready-made, and as soon as the big hospital is completed, they will immediately put into the construction of the college, and I will arrange for the payment contract to be solved by manpower immediately. Then Anna stood up, "Lest anyone gossip, I hereby declare that this is the wish of the Grand Duke and I in common, and that the Academy is not prepared to appear in front of the people in a noble guise, but that it is a facility for the benefit of the common people, just like the Relief House." Anyone of school age, including the rest of Anatolia, can come to the school, the content must be accessible and easy to understand, the instructors will be selected from you, and you will be provided with additional money and food, so be ready to build on the wilderness and gravel of the North Plateau to create a truly eternal and indelible business! ”
