Chapter 22: Piercing

Then, Gawain quickly glanced at Anna, and Anna begged everyone to get up, and then suddenly saluted everyone, so frightened that Tetisius and other generals leaned down again and asked Her Royal Highness what her thoughts were.

"No, there is nothing to embarrass you, but I am now in the midst of His Excellency Gawain's Red Hand Brigade, and if this team is defeated or destroyed, I will also be able to take possession of it. I know that you must be resentful and contemptuous of me now, and indeed I am a betrayer of my father and the Emperor, but I have the audacity to ask your brave and warlike generals to assist Gawain in his strategy, for his army is located right east of the city of Nicaea, in the middle of the reinforcements of the city army and the Sultan of Konya, and it is very dangerous to bear the brunt of it. ”

Anna's words, even Gawain secretly gave a thumbs up to express her admiration, she never said any arrogant words, every word was reasonable, not only to help the Dalian team and the entire team of pilgrims, but not to make Tetisius unacceptable.

"Rest assured, Your Highness Princess, Titisius will take command of all the troops tomorrow and go to the east of the city of Nicaea to join the troops of His Excellency the Commander of the March. Thereafter, until the fall of Nicaea, the contemptible people will act only on the scepter of the Grand Duke of Armenia. Tetisius immediately agreed.

"Thank you very much, Gawain and I have promised that once we have captured the city of Nicaea, we will hand over the key to the city gates to you and return the city to the Emperor."

But over there, Diognis suddenly cried out. "I beg your pardon for trespassing, may I ask Her Royal Highness what is the relationship between Her Royal Highness and Gawain now! No. What's more, His Majesty's previous documents have indeed canceled your royal family name. Changed its name to Apate. Philotes. ”

Apate?.

Philotes?

The goddess of deception and lust in pagan mythology?

Anna suddenly felt dizzy, held her forehead, and leaned against the table of Tetisius, Gawain and the others hurriedly came to help, among which Gawain also glared at Theognes fiercely, which meant "Just you P talk a lot!" ”

In the face of the angry eyes of everyone from all directions, the original guard was also anxious, sweating profusely, he didn't want to cause Princess Anna to be sad. just wanted to care about whether Gawain treated her badly, but he was in a hurry and stupid, but he ended up like this. So Diognis hunched over and crawled on the ground, trying to get close to the princess to explain, but was kicked to the ground by Mikhail.

"No, no! I just wanted to ask if the princess had sex with Gao Wenxing, no. No, I just wanted to ask" The more Diognis spoke, the more anxious and outrageous he became, just as Branas and Mikhail raised their fists to beat him. Anna, who was being held by Gawain, suddenly screamed, and the whole scene suddenly fell silent, and even the sound of a needle falling could be heard.

Just as Gawain was about to whisper a whisper of relief to her. The arm was unexpectedly clenched by Anna's warm little hand, and then it was undefeated in Italy, Dalmatia, Bulgaria and Asia Minor. The Grand Duke of Armenia, who had read countless people, heard Anna's very calm but equally affirmative words.

"Yes, Diognes' question I find very meaningful. Then, tell the Emperor of the Empire, Apate. Below Philoteus, Gawain has already been pierced. ”

The generals, servants, clerks, and guards present all did not stop making any movements, standing in place, dumbfounded, of course, the most serious was Gawain, whose eyes were straight, as if a thunderbolt had just come out of his left ear and out of his right ear, and his mind was full of "stabbed, stabbed, stabbed." He understood that this little girl was by no means a good character, and originally just wanted her to come forward and borrow troops from Tetisius and others, but he didn't expect to be countered by her now, "Outsiders think that I kidnapped her, but in fact, she abducted me." And by making this stratagem out of nothing, it is easy to tie me up - Diognis, you fool, stupid as a donkey, you talk a lot! ”

But Anna continued to chase after her, and she looked at the Roman generals who were about to draw their swords against Gawain, and repeated, "You don't understand what I said? My underneath has long been pierced by Gawain, and I have deliberately used the words that are easy to understand in the barracks, if in court language, it is that I have shared with Gawain the most intimate and private bed and love, which is blessed by Christ. And Gawain is willing to be responsible for me, you don't have to. With that, Anna closed her eyes and pressed her hand to her chest, a sweet expression on her face.

"But you don't need to repay this to Your Majesty, do you?" Below, Tetisius laughed awkwardly, and the proposal he made was immediately unanimously approved by everyone.

"When to get married? There is nothing like this, but it must be instructed and witnessed by the wedding ceremony, and the priests in the army, the priests! Theogny got up, excited, and said to Gawain, "Why are you stunned, aren't you like this to me and Gu Siyun in the first place?" Now my wife and I have shared two pieces of bread, one is dead and the other is fermented. ”

Gawain was a little blindsided, a rare occurrence in his head, but he couldn't help but lean close to the petite Anna, who was surrounded by Roman generals and warriors with eager eyes and sword hilts, "Well--now that the military is busy, Anna and I have no plans to hold an official wedding ceremony for the time being, so there is no need to call the priest." ”

"When's that?" Everyone spoke in unison, lined up in concentric circles, and stepped forward half a step one after another, surrounding him and asking.

"That's right, Gawain promised me that as long as he captured Nicaea, he would do so, and he also said that the wedding was presided over by an Orthodox priest, and after marriage he would strictly abide by Orthodox etiquette, not Varyag customs, monogamy, and never marry again." Anna happily shook the arm of the stunned Gawain and announced it to everyone.

"Please rest assured, the five thousand Tekopo and Pecheneg cavalry we have brought, as well as the three hundred Plonian cavalry, are willing to be used by the Grand Duke and Her Royal Highness the Princess of Armenia." Tetisius enthusiastically reiterated this will.

"I am willing to continue to take the lead and detect all the terrain, mountains, and water sources east of Nicaea for the glory of Her Royal Highness." Diognis also volunteered, but then his heart chuckled

Leaving the camp of the Byzantine Roman army, on the way back to the camp amid thousands of sieged campfires, Gawain rode Sabina slowly, not knowing what to say. Alas, who is to blame, who said that he made up his mind to pick up Anna in the first place? And in the palace, when Alexios was about to give him Dedo, he was concerned about Anna's painful eyes.
