"Killing Gawain and throwing the body into the sea is not a big deal to the officials and spies of the Roman Empire." Then, Isaac's brother gritted his teeth and proposed this suggestion to his brother.

Alexios shook his head at his younger brother in disappointment, and then remained silent. The eunuch beside him who participated in the secret discussion reminded the emperor's brother, "Your Majesty just said that Queen Irene knew about this, and Gawain will be in Duka soon." He is under the surveillance and even protection of the Si family's informants, so he is the safest at the moment. Once something happens, His Majesty the Emperor will inevitably be passive. This kind of clumsy conspiracy is unacceptable. "

"Then let him go?" Isaac was puzzled and aggrieved.

"Let him go. After all, Gawain is a good warrior. What I have given him is only 700 remnants of the Italian company and 500 Tecopo soldiers. The former's fighting spirit is not enough, and the latter's I am extremely loyal , Gawain can't be pulled away, and I still have people to deal with and restrain him. In addition, if Gawain doesn't go to Italy, I won't be able to feel at ease in the palace. If Gawain goes to Italy, he may restrain Norman. Man, that's better "The emperor couldn't help but think of the red-bottomed black eagle smock that Gawain was wearing. It was supposed to be Anna's love for him, but it was snatched away by this barbarian. It was time to end it all, and he grabbed it with his hand. An enamel reliquary box, hate The miniature carvings inlaid on it are not allowed to be dug out. "You allocate all the expenses for the official position and the march to Nicodemy. But after Gawain left Gallipoli and marched westward, he warned the officials and tax collectors everywhere that he Be careful."

The little bird Nicodeemia lowered his head knowingly, turned around and left to make arrangements.

Then, Alexios approached his younger brother, with a sad and admonishing tone, "In the future, when you act, you must listen to the advice of your subordinates and don't act arbitrarily. This time, in order to block the subsequent attacks of Macaulinus and others, If you criticize me, I will deprive you of your salary for one year and remove you from your position on the salary payment day of this month, but Sebastokrat’s title will continue to be retained.”

"Yes, I am willing to obey my brother's arrangements in everything." Isaac, who was leaning forward and sitting on the seat, lowered his head and agreed listlessly.

The emperor nodded, and then he walked to the small table where the eunuch was just now, and saw Marlena's pendant, as well as a volume of documents that the eunuch and his brother had transcribed clearly.

"this......"

Isaac Lian said yes, the evidence inside was very clear, and he hoped that his brother would make a decision as soon as possible.

Alexios, who was in an extremely complicated mood, then asked his brother to leave. Accompanied by the guards, he walked along the road to the palace. However, he was confused about the choice. After thinking for a while, he made about half a minute. (One minute combined with the present twenty-four minutes) later, the emperor appeared in the palace of Queen Irene.

"The scene just now is really as frightening and nervous as a martial arts arena. Do you think it's His Majesty?" It seems that Irene was well prepared and sat on the little throne very relieved. She was waiting for this moment. How many years have you waited? I'm afraid I can't remember clearly.

Alexios ignored her, but saw Anna walking over quickly on the other side of the hall, holding his arm, leaning against him and coquettishly, "Today's game was really exciting, what do you think?" Is it father? Congratulations on getting a warrior general who is good at fighting. You have also made the nobles of the empire and foreign envoys see the magnificent virtue of the Roman emperor. "

Fathers are always happy when they hear their daughter's compliments, and Alexios is no exception. His mood improved a little, and he sat across from Irene, "The battle situation in Asia will continue to be entrusted to Caesar. "

"That is really a happy event. I believe that my brother will mobilize the entire Ducasse family to fully support you, Your Majesty." Irene's response contained the "horn" after victory, but it was also accompanied by the "iron hooves" of pursuing it to the end. "Immediately, should I bring John back from the palace of the Vice Empress Dowager and let me take care of him myself?"

Alexios knew clearly that this was his wife's spiteful teasing towards him, so he could only lower his forehead slightly, forced a happy face, and expressed his approval of Irene's proposal.

At this moment, Anna looked up, as if she had a premonition of something in her heart, and asked her father, "Will your daughter go to retrieve the books she lent to Constantine tomorrow?"

"You are not allowed to go anywhere tomorrow!" Alexios, who was sitting on the chair, suddenly became angry. His bloodshot eyes stared at Anna, scaring her so much that she stepped back.

Before Anna could explain anything, the emperor called the eunuchs and maids beside her to come forward, "Where has the eldest princess been these days, and who has she been in contact with?"

Queen Irene scolded Alexios dissatisfied, while Anna went to her mother in horror. The eunuch and the maid knew that nothing could be done at this time to avoid disaster: either the emperor wanted to punish, or Anna or the queen made themselves miserable. So they simply lay down on the floor, trembling and not saying a word.

Alexios was so angry that he grabbed one of the leading maids and slapped her twice until her mouth was bleeding and her hair was scattered. Then he threw her to the ground. He also stepped on the other's neck with his boots and gasped violently. , just like dealing with a barbarian enemy.

The older maid was stepped on the boots like this, and she didn't dare to move her eyes. The emperor was panting, but she didn't dare. She could only silently scratch the floor with her hands to relieve the pain.

"Father, I swear I have never done anything to let you down or the Komnenos family!" At this time, Anna knew that if she didn't speak up, her servants would die, so she rushed to her father crying, grabbed the corner of her clothes, and cried, begging for Alexios's forgiveness.

A perfect version in 16-9 Book Bar!

His father's hands were cold. After pinching Anna's warm little hands, Alexios felt that he had gone too far, so he squatted down, wiped Anna's tears, and said in a hoarse voice, "That's good, that's good. It's normal for a girl of this age to think about ridiculous things and people, but father doesn't want you to get hurt. Anna, you must remember that you are the representative of the Purple Palace and the flagpole of the Komnenos family. In the future, you will marry into an equally noble family to pacify the boiling sea and land of this empire. Do you understand what I mean?"

Anna lowered her eyes, holding back tears, and finally nodded.

"You and your mother should rest well. I still have some things to deal with. Tomorrow, Anna, you should go and get the books from Constantine." Finally, Alexius left these words, lifted his boots, walked along the corridor of the palace, and slowly left a lonely back as he walked out.

At this time, Queen Irene helped Anna up from behind and whispered something that even the eldest princess could hardly believe, "Don't pay attention to your father. You will stay in the palace tomorrow, and I will take the opportunity to meet your uncle and receive the warrior Stephen Gawain today."
