"Smack!" It was the sound of the little girl's boots, and she bounced quickly, but Gawain raised her hand a little, and her hand fell into the air, and then Gawain walked, and the little girl jumped and jumped behind her, and the scene was quite funny, but it also frightened the eunuchs and the maids.

"Damn brute, how dare you do this!" The girl jumped and didn't forget to attack her tongue.

Gawain walked up to the eunuch and placed the box with the veil of the Virgin in his hand, and then the little girl let out a coquettish cry - she was easily lifted by Gawain again, and walked until she reached the exit of the main hall of the monastery, and was put down, "Go, go and play with your parents or siblings." ”

"I" The little girl in the purple robe was just about to turn around, but Gao Wen pressed her head and braided her hair and turned around. Several times, the girl was so anxious that tears were about to come out, which made Gawain feel soft again, until he saw the enamel and gold-encrusted icon pendant of St. Mary hanging from the girl's neck, and his hands trembled, and he felt that something was wrong: this was the palace of Brachna, where the Byzantine emperor was located, and in which the maids and eunuchs surrounded the little girl, they ran over to grab the holy relics of the monastery in a grand manner (all the monks on duty here went to observe the debate between Patriarch Maastas and Patriarch Idorus of the Church of St. John in the Hall of the River) Besides, the little purple robe that this girl was wearing was only qualified to be worn by the imperial family or the emperor himself.

Could it be that the little girl who was pressed by his head was actually it

Now that he was out of the way, Gawain let go of the girl and slowly retreated backwards, thinking that he could jump from the gap in the courtyard wall of the monastery against the cliff just now, and maybe he could find a place to escape from the palace, but what could he do? He has no status in this country and in the imperial capital.

The little girl hurriedly rubbed her braids and put her clothes back together in a dignified manner, and then she looked at Gawain, who was walking towards the backyard, with a flush and annoyance on her face, "You stop me." ”

"Actually, I'm just an attendant of the hermit monks, but I do carry the secret letter of Pope Peter, and killing me will also cause diplomatic friction between the two worlds, and it will also hinder the cooperation between His Majesty the Emperor and His Excellency the Pope in recovering the lost territory." Gawain didn't expect the little girl to understand these things, but he actually told the maids and eunuchs beside her to hear them, hoping to let him go.

At this moment, he saw that the captor Theognes hurried to the door of the monastery, and when he saw this scene, he immediately spun around in fright, and then he gestured to Gawain across the main hall of the monastery, meaning to make Gawain play more realistically.

"I say who I said, who actually spoke noble Greek, it turned out to be a pilgrimage to the monks, and it was more reliable to say than the Turkic sticks (many pilgrims would hire Turks as bodyguards to fight other Turks, called 'sticks', derived from the weapons of the Turkic bodyguards). But your rudeness just now is unforgivable, and you have defiled the sacred purple, Franks? Normans? Well, you will not do your father's empire any good, and if you are left to your own devices, the barbarians' crude and ugly castles will in time be planted on the beautiful plateaus of Anatolia, and they will be an even more abominable sight than the flocks of the Turks. Unexpectedly, this little girl is still sharp-toothed, speaking rhetorically and imposingly, "Come on!" ”

But the eunuchs and maidens beside her, seeing Gawain with a fierce face, stepped back even more violently, and said that it was too late, and then it was too fast, and Diognis suddenly rushed in with an iron flail. Gawain thought that he had come at the right time, so he screamed and pulled out the sword of phosphorus and fire, "Let's play this scene more realistically." ”

With the exclamation of the group of palace people, the tip of the iron flail flew and smashed on Gawain's eyebrow bone, and there was a loud noise, Gawain was instantly swept to the corner of the wall by the powerful force, and the gravel and dust fluttered down, falling all over his hair, and he had a headache, "Bastard Diognes - you actually play really!" He got up and touched it with his hand, and his hair was wet and blood was dripping.

"Dare to be rude to nobles." On the other side, Theognes came over with an iron flail, and had the momentum to kill the madman on the spot.

Gawain hurriedly instinctively protected his arm in front of him, and then pointed the blade of the Sword of Phosphorus and Fire at him, thinking to himself, you bastard, you are playing really, and I will also break the net.

"Alright, stop it!" The little girl saw Gawain huddled there, his head and face bleeding this miserable appearance, and remembered that he had saved herself in the patio just now, and her heart softened, so she drank the guard, and Diognis immediately put away her posture, the speed was staggering, and then stood aside respectfully, put the flail in her arms, knelt down on her knees, and raised her hands, the little girl followed the rules in the book of etiquette, and also rested her little hands on the palms of Diognis, and introduced herself, "I am the eldest princess of the Lord, Anna born in the family of the emperor. Komnenos. ”

"Ahh

Anna. Komnenos, the emperor's favorite eldest daughter, will be able to influence the fate of the entire empire in the future, the purest princess who grew up in the purple palace, and is the most noble woman in this world.

"Hmph, you're a catcher, aren't you? I've read many stories about your adventures. Anna smiled and said to Diognis.

The soul of the captor flew with excitement, "Yes, Your Majesty the Princess, I am the border catcher canonized by the Emperor, Diognes. Atrilas! "Almost with a roaring tone.

At this time, Anna quickly withdrew her hand, wiped it secretly, and looked at Gao Wen, who was still covering her head and squatting over there and humming, "Hmph, it seems that the Franks and Normans are nothing more than that, look at his appearance, under the hands of our excellent Roman warriors, they are bound to lose, or are they rude and invincible in fighting on horseback?" Well, more careful observation and documentation are needed. ”

In the second she screamed - Gawain was like a leopard, no, no, no, she couldn't find the right adjective in the dictionary for a while, his blood flew in the air, his body pounced, snatched Diognis's flail instead, strangled the neck of the captor, and dragged him back desperately, "What are you proud of this captor who has lost people!" Then the two of them fought together like beasts!
