"I trust Gawain, he always has some way of getting things out of the ordinary." Anna did not hesitate.

"But I don't believe it!" Caesar had no interest in continuing to be "unrealistic" with this half-grown girl, and in the end he took Anna. Komnenos as the banner of his camp, but he did not have any strong helpers in his bones, nor did he have a sophisticated plan, always fantasizing that as long as he hung the banner of "Ducasse", he only needed to raise his arms during the coup, so he would be defeated under the "surprise attack" of Komnenos mother and son, when he knew that Emperor Alexios had magically appeared in the imperial capital and pulled all the Praetorian Guards to capture him, the honored patriarch of Ducasse had already decided: to escape.

And the object of his defection has also been decided to be Bohemond. Morality. Tver too.

It is said that the Norman expeditionary force, having crossed the city of Thessaloniki, was on its way to Constantinople.

As for that Stephen. It's not that Gao Wen can't trust the other party's character, but he really can't believe in the other party's strength. Like Macaulinus. An old Roman aristocrat like Ducasse valued seniority and fame more than anything else.

"Brother, just do what you want. But I'm not leaving, I don't want the Ducasses family to be humiliated because of me as the queen, and you don't need to worry too much about Alexios, after all, he's still a hypocrite, a hypocrite who is very good at dressing himself up, sometimes he walks and talks like a devil, but sometimes he puts on a warm mask in front of his servants and people, he doesn't punish me openly, does he? His Excellency the Patriarch "Erin sat in a chair. Speaking slowly, she had heard the noise of fighting in the neighborhood outside the cathedral.

Several Isurian warriors in robes. Bursting in with wounds and blood, the surrounding maids screamed in fright. "The Komnenos have broken through the walls of Constantine and taken control of the arrow path, please Caesar make a wise decision sooner!"

As the situation became more and more critical, Caesar struggled to hold the eldest princess by the shoulders and called out to his sister, "I will take Anna with me to the Norman barracks, so that Bohemond will help me." ”

"Stop, Anna is a child born in the purple bedchamber and cannot be taken to the cunning and wicked Normans." Erin stood up at the moment. Pushing his brother away with all his might, he protected his weeping daughter in the crook of his arm.

"Then take care, sister." After saying this, Caesar rushed out of the side hall under the close protection of the loyal guard, and came to the dome, where he saw Daracena, who was sitting back on his shoulder, surrounded by most of the senators and bureaucrats, "Your Excellency Caesar. You've made the right choice to say hello to my daughter, Theodora, for me, and I hope you'll hear her more about everything, but it may be a little late to say that now. The Queen Mother said with a smile and contempt.

"I'll get revenge sooner or later!" Caesar threw down this sentence in a haughty manner. So he and dozens of samurai, carrying seals, documents, treasures and other things, rushed out.

Under the blood-colored sun. The Isurian Guards were rushing through the streets, and they did not dare to confront the army sent by the Emperor. He did not dare to openly break into the cathedral to kill and threaten him, when he learned that his master, Caesar, had fled. Most of the people surrendered, and a few ran towards the harbor near the Grand Palace, hoping that the master's ship would only carry itself.

But many of the people in the square who came to see the excitement were not so lucky, many were shot by arrows, many were killed by mistake, and many more trampled to death in the landslide-like chaos, and everywhere lay bloody corpses, and messy shoes and clothes, and the blood flowed into the ditch by the stone pillars, as if to smear the surroundings of the Grand Palace and the Cathedral with red silk threads.

Alexios rode into the square, a child who had lost his parents, weeping at the corpses of his parents, and crawling and kneeling in front of the emperor's horse, touching his purple boots, begging for help. Alexios immediately jumped down, untied his cloak, tied it to the bloodied child, and comforted him with a few words, "Give him some money, and immediately ask the eunuch to arrange the funeral of his parents." All of you, do not use any more weapons, and do not take the opportunity to kill my people, nor take the opportunity to plunder their property. Tell everyone, noble and humble, that the turmoil is over, and that the conspiracy of the enemy in the shadows has been crushed by the faithful army of the Roman Empire. ”

Then the Emperor summoned Yagfi and Harold and whispered, "Don't go too far into the pursuit of Myaulinus, let him flee freely, and see where he goes." The two mercenary generals immediately took the order and left.

At the same time, after hearing the Emperor's words of comfort to the child, many of the warriors of the Guard raised their heads to the sky and chanted in praise of the Emperor's benevolence, and then began to carry away the corpses, carrying leather bags and wine barrels, and pouring water to wash the blood stains on the floor in front of the cathedral. Then, Alexios stepped on the steps, and countless clergy, officials, and noble senators who had come out of the hall rushed out to bow down to greet their emperor, and the righteous indignation of many people suddenly disappeared: everyone had reached a tacit understanding, and we were deceived by the traitor.

But the Emperor's facial expression was one of concern, and he continued to receive prostrations and praises from the crowd, but at the same time he shouted, "Are my poor wife and daughter all right?" The ladies of the court are all right with my prince, right? The warriors of the rearguard forcibly pushed through the crowd and opened a passage for the emperor to continue his way.

In fact, both Marlena and John were under house arrest in the Brachna Palace, and were not tortured or interrogated, and they were already released at this moment. Inside the hall, Darasina. Komnenos and the rest of the old ministers stepped forward, "Please forgive me, please forgive me, dear and great mother, who has put you and so many glorious old men in danger, if there is any mistake, then I have committed an unforgivable sin against the future and past of the Empire." The Emperor and his mother and others embraced each other, speaking with respite and anxiety, and inquiring about the whereabouts of his wife and daughter.

At this time, Daracena said to Beril and Maopulos, "You two go outside the church and announce today's events, Queen Irene and the eldest princess were coerced by the villain Myaulinus. That's right, to put it mildly, besides, I'll tell Little Bird to clean up the palace these days, and get rid of all those who are involved in it, or who like to rap."

Soon, the Emperor appeared in front of the arch of the side hall, which was completely open, and he saw Anna sitting on the floor, while his wife was sitting indifferently in her chair, surrounded by handmaidens and eunuchs who were lying on their backs, all of them like ashes, and perhaps the Emperor would forgive his wife and daughter, but these humble figures would always be scapegoats and punching bags, which was eternal and unchanging.
