Eagle Byzantium

Kabeamiya cherished those "ancient capsules" filled with powerful liquids in her arms. She had previously obtained the "Hashish" from the distant "Lord of the Mountains" in Cappadocia. "resin" mysterious drug, and secretly enhanced its dose. This drug will cause In an instant, it can produce a strong hallucinogenic effect. It was carefully prepared by a mysterious mountain group using Indian hemp leaves and other exotic products. The secret recipe is difficult for outsiders to obtain. The golden-handed female consul also went through many attempts to get one or two. , I didn’t expect that this time it would be effective in resisting Guz’s invasion.

Since the Lord of the Mountains also got this medicine from India, there should be no problem for her to buy it directly from Indian merchants at the mouth of the river.

Thinking of this, Cabeamia rode on her horse, shouted to Romanus who was holding the sheep pitifully behind him, and followed with other colleagues, then wandered away from this market town filled with fireworks and bustling people.

Within a few days, the remnants of Tefris's party "swarmed" throughout the Thracian region. Many key elements who had fled from Philipsburg once again took action under the encouragement of the Holy Archons: attacking and plundering towns, and winning over squires and The peasants burned Orthodox churches and monasteries, and for a time the whole area was horrified. Urgent documents flew down the streets and shot into the city of Constantinople like a hail of arrows.

Northeast of the imperial capital, the small town of Hercules, located on the seaside of Uxen, was originally a summer resort for the royal family and dignitaries. Now it was also threatened by war: several noble ladies who had gone out for an outing in the city had been kidnapped by heretical believers. Well, I'm afraid the outcome will be disastrous.

In front of the seaside building with beautiful marble columns, a car and horses were neatly arranged, and the palace guards carrying bows and arrows and quivers were separated on both sides of the road. Malena hurriedly led John carrying the fishing rod out, "Hurry back to the palace." Go away, it’s too dangerous here.”

Inside the shoulder carriage with a hanging curtain. The adoptive mother hugged her dark-skinned adopted son tightly, as if he was the only treasure she cherished in this world, "His Majesty is still in Adrianople on the front line, and His Excellency Sebastian Krat is also there, So from now on, you must be careful everywhere in the imperial capital, and at least stay away from your biological mother and sister. They are all eyeing you, and you will not be able to feel at ease until His Majesty returns home."

"Didn't you say that my father made my mother the regent of the palace?"

"That's right, we can't go back to Brachna Palace. What a terrible thing it would be if your mother took the opportunity to contact powerful people and take advantage of His Majesty's absence to revoke your qualifications as Crown Prince... .." Thinking of this, Malena's face turned pale. She thought of her dead son Constantine, and then she hugged John's head into her chest, buried it deeply, and kept kissing him. Kissed John's forehead. "I will definitely protect you and keep your position. No one can defeat us, mother and son. Isn't it enough that the strong love between the two of us was not enough during Hercules' vacation?" Is it thick..."

Carrying the shoulders of several strong eunuchs, the shoulder carriage swayed slightly and quickly followed the avenue towards the imperial capital.

In the Brachna Palace at night, the eldest princess Anna was leaning on the terrace under the pavilion with her chin in her hands. The wind blowing from the Golden Horn in late summer is extremely pleasant. Among the houses along the coast, the dense tree crowns are illuminated by the night and moonlight. Reflecting like a white spreading flame, she was in front of her parents' bedroom. Waiting for her mother's summons, this time it was really strange why her mother hadn't let her in even after two minutes of preparation.

Finally, several eunuchs came out and knelt down to the eldest princess. Anna nodded, and then, accompanied by two maids, entered the hall under the silk curtains and curtains.

"Mother, I'm here."

But then Anna froze her little tongue in astonishment. She saw in the main hall, her mother, Queen Irene, dressed up and sitting on the small throne prepared for her. The big throne next to her father, which was usually occupied by her father, was empty. No one is there - but there are no other seats in the entire hall.

Erin smiled and gently placed her hand on the empty throne. The meaning was obvious: sit on it.

Anna's steps froze because she knew that her father was still the emperor of this empire, and neither her biological mother nor herself could erase this fact.

"What are you afraid of Anna?" Irene spoke while sitting on the small throne. The surrounding servants and eunuchs all retreated outside the curtain. There were only mother and daughter within the radius. "It's not like there are not two honorable women in this empire. What's more, what happens when the throne situation happens? Besides, the relationship between the two queens is not as close as ours." At the age of twenty-eight, her eyes bloomed with the brilliance of her youth in her crown, "I am the same as you, I no longer believe in capriciousness and cunning. Your uncle Caesar is already a man. With an elite guard, we can enter the imperial capital in about two to three days from Gallipoli to control the situation. What's more, Prime Minister Burrill is also on the same page as my mother. As for foreign aid... ..." Erin was wearing a jewelry ring Pei stood up with a jingle and held Anna's little hand, "Your most trusted Commander Gawain of Aconis has led the Red Hand Company to approach Fort Sophia. I also sent a messenger to contact him, and he will also contact him as soon as possible. Bring your troops to support."

"What are you talking about, mother... Gawain is also involved? He wants to make an enemy of my father for me?" Anna's breathing was chaotic, and she recalled the childish canonization in the Grand Palace. She married Gawain and became the patroness of the Great Barbarian, but she never thought that this kind of joke would one day turn into a bloody battlefield battle in the palace, between the flesh and blood of relatives.

"Sit down Anna, I am the current regent of the imperial capital. The time has come for you to become the queen." Irene's tone was decisive, and then she forced her daughter onto the throne - where petite Anna's feet could barely reach the ground. .

Eileen praised, "Very good, very good. As expected, you are the natural queen. Anna Komnenos can help you up. Mother believes that even the Komnenos family will not have any objections. Now that things have happened, Du Everything the Cass family has is worthy of them." Erin's face. He was full of resentment, "I was just a small military noble from Asia Minor. His origins can be traced back no more than a hundred years, and his background and genealogy are questionable. However, with the help of nobles, I sat on the throne. I really thought that no one in the entire empire could take his place." What? An ungrateful bastard."

Then she held Anna's face and said with a little sadness, "Anna, my good daughter, remember - your nobility is due to the blood of Ducasse, not the blood of Comnenus, just remember this. "

After ending this nightmare, Anna fled and returned to her small bedroom next to St. Mary's Church. She sat at the desk, picked up the reed pen, and grabbed the braid on her forehead in distress, not knowing that she What to do, father, mother, uncle, uncle, everything is like an army fighting in melee. In the end, the eldest princess’s strokes fell on the scroll, "Dear Barbarian..." (To be continued~ ^~)
