"O Virgin Mary, O Virgin Mary!" Anna sat opposite Gawain, her feet stiffened, her braids on one side had dispersed, her back trembling, her back trembling, her nails wedged deep into Gawain's broad shoulders, and she announced her complete surrender.

Gawain remembered that Anna liked to shout the name of the Virgin Mary on the couch, and to do it with her like a seminary; Kabeamia would shout "Allah" and "Holy Apostle", while Ingrid would really scream like a Varyag barbarian merchant, sometimes in Varyag, sometimes in Greek, and sometimes scolding, and doing with her like a bull market on Metz Street in Constantinople.

Since Anna's soul was guided by the Virgin Mary to visit the thirteen golden gates of Heaven for the time being, and it would take a while to return down the spiral staircase, Gawain also entered the sage mode, he took pity and carefully hugged Anna and laid her horizontally on the couch, and after a while Anna gasped, "Since my father's army is already on the way, will I turn against my father in the valley of the Mut River?" ”

Gawain's fingers caressed his somewhat sleepy eyelids, "My strategy is to try not to get to that point, although we have formed a real alliance with Orson and the others, it is still not much good to face the empire now." ”

Anna stretched out her fingers and pressed Gawain's chest, "The defense line of the Sidnus River is well organized, and now Orson and Polibi, our people and the Grand Lords of Jinat, each of the castles is holding each other back and watching, and Tetisius has no reason to continue to use force, so he can go to the valley of the Mut River to quell the rebellion in a whirlwind." And the Callegos family has also been split into us, the three brothers of Sith City"

"According to you, what should I do?"

"Kill them, but wait until my father's horses retreat." Anna's tone was calm.

"What about the two brothers in the Mutter Valley?"

"Kill it too, immediately."

"Don't be impulsive for the time being, just confiscate some of the property. After all, it is necessary to take care of the position and emotions of the blind Nika. Gawain turned around and held Anna in his arms, reminding.

"It is fine to raise the two youngest sons of Callegos, and to leave the lives of the first brothers for the time being, but we must drive the unstable Genats to the borders of East Cilicia as soon as possible, and we will govern Seleucia. That's peace of mind. Anna said this, and then remembered, "Ah, it seems like Wright. Bozia was sent by me to Alalmanburg, and there is no news yet. ”

At the eastern end of the Atalha Harbor, stands the castle of Alarman, like an asymmetrical barbell, two unevenly sized cities and forts, connected by a marshy wall, and the blind old general in the hall. Received the trembling Wright, the deputy heraldic officer of Sicily, who sent an urgent letter to the old general.

Nika couldn't see it, so he handed it over to the people around him to open and inspect, but with the shaking sound of the parchment scroll, Wright's sweat flowed, and he didn't know what the princess in purple would say inside, but then there was a long silence.

"Why don't you read it?" Nika gripped the armrest. Read, "Not the three of the Sith City." Already slaughtered by the Grand Duke? ”

"No wow!" Before the servant could speak, Wright's sharp voice shouted.

Then there was a deathly silence, and the servant said slowly, "There are no words in the letter of the princess in purple, only a pastel painting of her own handwriting. ”

"Oh," Nika's old voice sounded, "tell me what the painting is." ”

"It's a field. There was a farmer with two dogs at his feet, and at the edge of the field was an aspen tree, and a hedge, on which three rabbits were gnawing leaves. The other two goats were grinding their horns under the tree, and slowly, the servant finally made the picture and text clear.

Hearing this, Nika leaned back in her chair, her hands squeaking and rubbing on the armrests, as if in pain, while Wright was beating the drum with all her heart, "For the sake of the Lord, what tricks are you playing with the princess in purple?" If you have anything to say, just say no, it seems that you are stupid to be the superintendent of agriculture. ”

"It seems that the princess is also good at pastel painting!" Suddenly, Nika let out a long cry, trembling her hands, rubbing her paper on the paper, under her thick gray beard, her nose was a little disgustingly close to sniffing, and Wright could see that her mouth was crooked—was it the case that blind men were like this all the time?

"I smell blood, but I also understand the disaster and rebirth of the Callegos family. Deputy Heraldic Officer, do you want to know the meaning of this painting? ”

"Sorry, I really don't really want to know." Wright cried with a sad face, he saw the samurai in uniform around the old general, and strengthened this belief, "For so many years, the only thing I have known is that if you know something, it is worse than not knowing. ”

Nika laughed like a night owl, "Let me tell you that my seven sons have become animals, and the two dogs are Gaia and Nexus, who are close to the farmer and help their master harvest and guard the crops, so that they can be cared for by their master until they die of old age; And the three rabbits are the three brothers of the city of Sith, and the goats are the two brothers of the valley of the Mut. ”

"Huh? Why are some rabbits, some goats, and Her Royal Highness the princess thinks that the animals painted are too monotonous? ”

"Well, Severn they are rabbits, and the deputy heraldry officer should know the rabbits—when the peasants put up a fence at the edge of the field, they are most afraid of the rabbits, and these rabbits make holes everywhere and penetrate the fence so that other wild beasts can burrow into the crops and destroy the crops, and here we are referring to the three Severn brothers, who are guarding the borders of the Sith city, but they are not trustworthy."

"Could it be that those three guys were really executed by the Grand Duke and the Princess?" Wright is manic inside.

"What about the goats? They can bring fur, cheese and meat to the peasants, but if this animal exists, it will be difficult for other animals to survive, because they are greedy and obscene, they eat everything, grass, crops, shrubs, leaves, and tree bark, which will make the people who raise them poorer, and where there are too many goats, sooner or later they will become deserts. The princess means that Leo is in the valley of the Mut River, and they will only harm the Grand Duke, and they must also be removed. ”

"Maybe you've misunderstood, but is there some other meaning. Or rather, the princess's painting is a prank, a smoke that confuses you. "Wright's gestures are exaggerated, but his heart is broken, and now if the Grand Duke really fights with the Alalman fortress, he will be imprisoned, or even killed directly.

"What kind of animals are the courier and the deputy heraldic officer?" Nika suddenly heard such a sentence, and Wright was so frightened that he was about to hold his head and lean down.

The servant was amazed and searched the picture, "I really can't find it." ”

"Look for it again, if Her Royal Highness the princess doesn't pity the deputy heraldic officer, then we don't have to pity it." As soon as Nika's words fell, the samurai behind him clenched his spears, sabers, and swords, and Wright raised his hands and shouted "Look for them carefully, turtledoves, small fish, sparrows, insects, toads, etc., you can do it!"
