Anyway, it was enough to arrange an identity for Gawain. Anna thought that in the past three years, none of the warriors brought by Caesar's envoy from Salian could match Mikhail. Seeing her father, she didn't ask any questions. The eldest princess felt relieved.

The emperor's majestic procession stretched along the arrow path from the main entrance of the Brachna Palace to the Augustan Square. Alexios wanted to use this grand pomp to tell all his subjects and foreigners that ——The Roman Empire is still the core of the world, and the Roman Emperor Purple Palace is still the most powerful man in the world.

As a result, under the porphyry column, when Alexios stepped off the chariot amidst the cheers of the crowd, he saw the stern-faced Masdas, the Patriarch of Constantinople, standing beside several people. Before the dean, he clasped his hands and said nothing.

There was an embarrassed look on the emperor's face. When he tried to abandon Irene in the past, Masdas angrily scolded him in front of thousands of citizens. He seemed to still be vividly remembering it, but who would have thought that it would happen again in the martial arts arena today? He was caught in the act. At the critical moment, Anna flew to Masdas like a lively bird, grabbed his sleeve, wished him a happy celebration, and invited the Patriarch to accompany her to receive the nobles from the Salian Dynasty. envoy.

Next, it was Masdas's turn to be embarrassed. He had been prepared to burst out with words to reprimand the emperor, but he was forcefully forced back by the lovely Anna, and he could not do anything inappropriate in front of the well-behaved eldest princess. , so he could only laugh and hold Anna's arm, walking towards the theater.

Seeing the grimace his daughter made when she turned back, Alexios secretly called him lucky. Then he turned back and saw the carriages in his own line stopping one by one.

At this time, Anna, who was passing by the corridor under the theater, looked sideways and saw the three warriors who were about to take a rest. She especially gave a thumbs up to Gawain who was wearing a mask and helmet.

Gawain, who was holding on to the white clay pillar, also blinked and gave Anna a thumbs up.

"Brother, brother." Just as Alexios turned around, his perspective was about to scan Gawain's blouse with the black eagle eye-catchingly embroidered (this was very easy for the emperor who was proficient in archery) thing, although he and Gawain were separated by some people who came to salute, they were only less than 150 feet apart), the emperor who was named "Sebastocrat" His younger brother Isaac, with a face full of shame and longing for forgiveness, walked side by side with Nicodemya, the chief steward of the palace, who was following behind. Accompanied by his servants, he walked quickly to the emperor, knelt down in front of the emperor, and kissed the back of Alexios' hand. and the ring, "Please forgive me for the long journey, brother. After all, it takes a day to get here from Nicomedia and we have to cross the sea."

"Get up, Isaac. Come in with me immediately." The emperor coughed twice and gently held his brother's arm, indicating that he had truly forgiven him, not only for those who came to watch the ceremony late, but also for Asia Minor. defeat.

Although among the eight brothers and sisters, Alexios has always been known as the bravest and most scheming, this does not mean that he does not value brotherhood. The first step in his dictatorship is to constantly create new official titles and bestow them on science and technology. Relatives of the Munin family came to suppress other traditional aristocratic families in the Roman Empire.

At this moment, the emperor was greeted by Isaac and the eunuchs, and walked into the theater. He didn't even notice that he stood up and sat down, wearing a strange mask and helmet. Anna specially introduced the recommended ones. The so-called "sword master".

"John, John!" Marlena, who was sitting on the shoulder carriage at the back, failed to hold Prince John's hand before she could get down. The dark, ape-like child jumped down and ran out of the honor guard. , without etiquette, wearing gold and silver on the outside, but like an out-and-out wild child, he quickly ran to the corridor.

Soon, John saw the extremely tall Gawain wearing strange armor, and asked at the top of his voice, "I heard that this time the messenger of the barbarian Caesar will bring a famous two-handed swordsman, you blue eyes Will the barbarian be his opponent?"

Gawain said nothing and pointed to Mikhail who was sitting there praying, "The opponent of the two-handed swordsman you mentioned is this, the captain of the emperor's archery guard."

"But I'd rather see you fight that guy."

"Your attitude is really unconcealed, but if this situation occurs, the majesty of the Roman Empire may have been wiped out." After Gawain finished speaking, several eunuchs trotted over and hurriedly took Prince John and returned to the base. Went in the queue.

Soon, the horn sounded, and with the colorful flags hanging on the edge of the stand dancing, Henry IV's envoy Wetterling, wearing a soft hat and a large cloak, stood up to pay tribute with other nobles after seeing the emperor enter, and then left. He half-knelt down to the emperor.

Alexios walked side by side with Vitlin cordially, holding hands in front of everyone. Then everyone sat in the royal box seats in order. Several trumpeters hurriedly played the trumpets, and the other ladies of lower rank, After the bureaucrats expressed praise and blessings to the emperor in unison, they also sat on the seats one by one.

"A duel is a duel, and the victory or defeat should not affect the friendship between the two countries, right?" Alexius said this as his first words after he sat down. Then he looked at Vitrin, "Bohemond has marched into Amalfi. I will provide a capable team to rescue him, but I hope your Caesar will also send a helping hand. After all, Amalfi has been a loyal vassal and friend of the empire for three hundred years, and you and I are dissatisfied with the hypocritical Pope St. Peter in Rome."

"Your Majesty, our kingdom is also in a difficult situation now. Matilda, the Duchess of Tuscany, has already united almost all the city-states in northern Italy, and has bribed your Majesty's son, cutting off your Majesty's retreat and trapping him in Italy. Even I came here this time, I hired a ship from Venice to make the trip." Vitrin said bluntly.

"Son... This is really a sympathetic and sad thing." Alexius stroked his beard pretending to be sad, but in fact he was laughing at Henry IV's dilemma in his heart.

"How about this, if we win today's game, your proposal will be considered as never being made; and if you win, I will go back and do my best to persuade my Majesty to provide full support to your expeditionary army." Finally, the envoy from the West made a decision.

After seeing the other party's showdown, Alexius confidently tapped the armrest of the seat below with his ring-wearing hand, "I accept it, Mikhail has never lost in the past three years."

Vitlin also laughed, "Not necessarily this time, respected emperor, why don't we add some prizes, so that the competition will be more pleasing to the eye."
