Conquer the Dawn of Heaven
Vol 2 Chapter 74: Civilians, nobles, and queens
Alexander soon discovered that Modillo's advice was still very prescient.
There are no two tigers in one mountain. Although the Duylan Palace is large, it cannot accommodate a wife and a sister.
Whenever Alexander went to see Rusha, Sophia always followed him closely, and then stared like Ruthia at the obviously tall and pretty figure of Rusha, where she followed, where she said, what she said She listened carefully. Although most of the time Sophia could not understand what Ruosha was saying, she still stood stubbornly on the side of Alexander, guarding against death.
The result of this is Luo Sha's revenge.
Alexander was suspicious that all the servants around him had been bought by Ruo Sha, or could not be bought, they were originally servants of the Modillo family.
In short, as long as he finds an excuse to leave others wanting to be alone with Sophia, the door will be knocked out soon, and then Ruosha will appear at the door with a smile. As for the reasons for visiting, there are many reasons, from caring to my brother. From the daily life to understanding his learning progress, from the current situation of Cosenza to the future of Agri, in short, it will not let the two people who just wanted to be a little intimate to stop.
The result of this open battle is that Alexander is tired of being caught in the middle, and must often resolve all kinds of conflicts for them because they can break out,
But knowing these two people, Alexander did n’t think that it would be a trivial matter if they really collided. At least Sophia had already equipped her short crossbow again. When she thought that she might be annoyed, she would use that stuff regardless. , Alexander really did not dare to take it lightly.
And Ruosha didn't let him worry. With the trend of wearing a little neutral fashion in Naples that is suddenly fashionable now, Ruosha put on a more simple and elegant dress, she abandoned the look The silk skirts of various skirts that go up and down are even more tightly tied to the top of the head with a pearl ring in a fashion like the ancient Greek style, but these are nothing, but she can see that she takes it again When he started to practice with a light bow, Alexander felt a little bad.
For this kind of nonsense between two people, Alexander began to endure, but after a long time he finally could not bear it, and finally had to propose to Modillo to find a house outside.
George Anne, who was not very fond of Sophia, believed that the gypsy woman was instigating her son to move out, and the woman seemed to be hostile to her daughter, which made the countess hate Sophia even more.
Modillo didn't care much. He just told Alexander that he had a small villa on the top of the bay of Santa Lucia. It was used for summer vacation. Although it has entered autumn, the scenery there is not bad. If he likes, he can move in. It doesn't matter how long he lives.
Alexander did not reject the count ’s generosity. He knew that it was the honeymoon period between him and the count. The seemingly good relationship between them was temporarily stable.
James ’s food team has been away for almost a week, and all kinds of news about the war are coming from the north. Most of them are good news. The coalition has captured the fortress that was defensively occupied by the French, or Is there any French general who has to give up resistance and surrender to the coalition forces.
The news made the Neapolitans happy and happy. Although it was a national funeral, people took to the streets to celebrate it to show their hatred of the French and the respect of the coalition forces.
In each of these messages, the name of Gonzalo de Cordova was mentioned more or less.
The good news of the coalition forces may not be what Modillo likes. Alexander can see that he is not very emotional when he hears these Earls of the Triumph. Obviously, he is very unhappy that he can't stop the French defeat.
Alexander ’s life was also a bit difficult, because he was worried about the possible conflict between him and Gonzalo. The ceremonial acknowledgment ceremony for the territory ’s coat of arms originally decided by the aristocracy was canceled. He could only be alone in the coat of arms. Under the witness of the official, a second-class official from the Naples House of Aristocrats went through various procedures. When he took out a triangular outer lining pattern that was completely different from the shield-shaped outer lining of most other families, the small official couldn't help but stunned. Some looked blankly at the heraldic officer who said nothing.
The coat of arms officer is an old man who has to be white. Because of the height, he has to take photos with the magnifying glass in his hand at all times, so when Alexander put the coat of arms on the table to be filed At this time, the heraldic officer immediately took out a magnifying glass and looked at it like a military map.
An equilateral triangle with a sharp acute angle on the top is very eye-catching. In the triangle is a sun that is erupting this twisting and transpiring flame.
The three corners of the triangle are empty, which seems a bit shabby, but this is also the embarrassing reality that some new nobles have to face. Although there is no sentence of "one noble in three generations" at this time, there is no The upstarts with the details and time are always regarded as upstarts without distinction, but it is inevitable in any era.
Although the coat of arms officer was wondering why Alexander wanted to design his family coat of arms as a triangle, which was not the most common shield shape, but after asking some of the most common questions, he read the official coat of arms of the Kingdom of Naples routinely The official heraldry book, and then announced that the heraldry is allowed.
The official quickly completed various trademark-like procedures. When Alexander pressed the entire handprint on the drawing that was officially filed in Naples, the Agri ’s Gumbre family was silent in this room. The birth of interest.
At this point, at least legally, Agrig was truly regarded as Alexander's territory.
For such an exciting moment, Alexander walked out of the aristocratic house but did not react. Looking at the men who could not wait outside, he just beckoned beckoning at will, and then took them to look around Whistle forward.
The pub owner had already received the news, so he did not entertain other guests today. Seeing that Alexander and his party were coming, he walked over and bent slightly to make a salute, and then greeted his wife to serve everyone.
"Barr, what did you think about what I said last time," Mahimo asked after he took the first sip, "but you know a lot of people who are in your tavern all day Fighting and destroying things doesn't give you money, can you bear it? "
"It seems like you gave me money for drinking," the pub owner whispered, and then he wiped his hands on the apron and sat down. "Master, I know what you asked Mahimo to do with me, but to be honest, now No one dared to follow you. "
"Oh," Alexander nodded inexplicably. Of course he knew the reason. It was the result of teaching Gonzalo's nephew. "That is to say, if I can pass this level, you are still willing to follow me, right? ? "
"Of course, it's always a good thing to make money," the pub owner nodded, but his eyes were full of unbelief, and he was a bit puzzled. "But I don't quite understand, don't you already have a group of Bohemians?" , Why are you still looking for this group of people? "
He used to look around. Although there were no other guests today, he could not forget what ethics those regular customers were.
"I need these people who are familiar with Naples," Alexander did not elaborate. In fact, he was indeed beckoning, and he was very specific to find locals who spent all day in the place such as the Lookout. "Mahimo That ’s right, instead of letting them do nothing in your tavern, let them work for me. As for you, I heard that you were the patrol leader of Naples before taking this tavern? "
"That was a long time ago." The tavern stared at Mahimo, seeming to be a little unhappy for him, but the tone of pride was captured by Alexander.
"I already have territory now," Alexander continued. "So if you do it for me, I can also give you land. In the future, you can continue to open taverns, and you can also be your landlord."
"Local owner," the pub owner's pimple-shaped face shivered slightly. "Adult, do you mean I can have my own harvest every year?"
"As long as you pay my taxes on time," Alexander nodded. "If you do well, I can also consider letting your descendants inherit the land instead of waiting for you to die back and go back to the Gumbre."
"That's it." The pub owner's face shuddered even more. He couldn't sit still. After a vague hello, he hurried to the corner to discuss with his wife.
"Sir, do you want his children to inherit the land?" Mahimo looked at Alexander in surprise.
"Relax what I gave," Alexander lightly wiped the ink remaining on his hand. "Don't you think Agry is everything for us?"
Mahimo opened his mouth slightly, this is the first time he heard Alexander so clearly revealed his ambition for the future.
"Mahimimo, I promised you once, and now you are already a guest of the adults in the Naples church," Alexander looked at the tavern he knew. "Uliu and I were poor when we first arrived in Naples. Down, I don't even have a few copper coins except the clothes on my body, but now I am the lord of Agry, how do you think I created all this? "
The monk was stunned for a while. He had n’t thought about this question. It was only now that Alexander had raised it himself. He suddenly realized that this was indeed a very strange thing!
A man who has almost nothing but a servant and his clothes, but in a short time has become a well-known big figure in Naples. Everyone says that this person has endless good luck, but if you look back, you will find that Is this really just because of good luck?
Until he stepped out of the lookout, Mahimo had been pondering this seemingly simple problem, but the more he wanted to calm him down.
On September 22, just 15 days after the death of King Naples, Ferdinand, stopped the Bishop ’s Cathedral of Naples, according to the canon, the king ’s coffin was carried on a carriage, guided by the Archbishop of Naples, and all the nobles ’guard Next, it was protected by the royal guard around the cathedral for a week, and then placed in the stone coffin behind the prepared cathedral.
As the heavy stone door closed, the Ferdinand era, which was almost too short to remember, was over.
Now people can finally openly discuss the issue of the future king. Many nobles who can't wait can even wait for the poor former queen to sit in the carriage and throw her aside to rush to show his loyalty to Frederick.
The young widow could only stand there staring blankly, watching those people stunt her dead husband's uncle.
"Your Majesty," a follower whispered, "A nobleman hopes to see you, not sure if you allow it."
The queen awake from her sadness looked at her followers in surprise, then looked far behind him, and saw a young man who was blocked by several servants by the road.
This is a very strange young nobleman. Although his red hair and angular face look very attractive, the queen still has no impression of him.
The queen is a little strange, she is not unpredictable about her present situation.
In fact, as long as Ferdinand was seriously ill, she had already thought of this possibility now, but now she has no time to consider whether she should leave Naples, sadly, when Frederick has not ascended the throne. Let others watch her upset.
So when she saw this young nobleman who appeared suddenly, the queen was a little unsure because she didn't know his purpose.
The young former queen knew she was embarrassed now, from a respected queen to a helpless widow, because she did not have a heir, she would not even be able to stay in Naples.
Although no one has spoken openly, or even a hint, the queen has been able to detect subtle changes in the attitude of the servants in the palace.
Even the most loyal court director in the past told her in a polite way that she asked for a piece of jewelry to be worn at the funeral, because it is "the precious property of the royal family, and it is too gorgeous, so it is not convenient at this time Use it as a reason, but refused her request.
Such humiliation almost collapsed the queen, but the pride she had developed over the years made her unwilling.
Only the following embarrassment hit her again.
It was only after Ferdinand's death that she discovered that her husband was not very good at financial management during his lifetime.
Even though he was still lavish and desperate during his escape, Ferdinand's money bag soon dwarfed, and even after returning to Naples, it improved, but his hands were still not ample.
But that's it, Ferdinand didn't save a little.
So when the queen took care of the property left by her husband, she discovered that, except for her crown and palace, which were not destined to belong to her, Ferdinand himself almost lived on debt, so that after his death, except for a mess of debt, Almost nothing was left.
This made the queen have to find a way to plan for the future, and even began to consider whether to sell some of the things as a toll to leave Naples.
So for the queen, a noble did not meet Frederick at this time, but asked to see her, which was a bit too strange. She even wondered if it was a trap set by Frederick.
But she couldn't help but respond. She knew that Frederick must be trying to find her stubbornly. If she refused this person because of suspicion, she might be accused of being arrogant and guilty of losing herself as the queen.
"Who said he is?" The queen asked in a low voice.
"He said he was Gombrrey of Agri, Your Majesty." After the servant whispered back, he added a sentence "Your Majesty, please allow me to report to you that he is the Gumbre who brought food to Naples."
"Oh, is it?" The queen's voice changed slightly, and her eyes flicked the attendant's face intentionally or unintentionally.
Although he didn't know how much benefit the servant had received from the Gombré, he would do his best to recommend this person, but the queen did remember the young man.
But what she thought was not a pleasant thing, but that this man was once in a squabble with Frederick at her husband's funeral.
This made the queen a little curious about the young man.
"Then let him come," the queen said to the servant, and then a short pause before saying, "Tell him, you don't need to report your class."
The attendant was slightly surprised, but immediately bowed away.
And Alexander, who heard this command, was somewhat surprised.
As a new nobleman, Alexander once learned some court etiquettes that must be followed from the chief officer of Naples.
As a branch of the Aragonese royal family, although the Naples royal family at this time has not appeared the nearly cumbersome and perverted ceremonial rules of the Spanish royal family, but it also has a set of ceremonial regulations that are much more formal than the royal families of other countries.
The self-reported class is one of them.
Different classes have to follow different rules of restraint, and even the distance from the queen ’s front is different. Although his lord, Agry, has a great reputation, he can only be regarded as the last of the nobles.
The Queen's command was again in order to be considerate of his embarrassing identity.
Alexander's heart lifted slightly.
He decided to visit the queen after careful consideration.
The previous conflict let Alexander know that he was destined to compromise with Frederick.
And Frederick will soon become the King of Naples, UU reading www. uukanshu.com is also a destined thing.
These cold encounters these days are not so much because of the reason with Gonzalo, but rather because of Frederick, but people still have to cover up before, but with Ferdinand buried, all this is really exposed. .
Offended what the future king will end, this can be guessed without thinking.
Alexander did not want to use Modillo's power. He knew that if Modillo would not refuse his request for help, then he would be more and more difficult to get rid of Modillo's control, so he decided to open another shortcut.
In this way, Ferdinand's wife, a former noble but now embarrassed queen, caught his attention.
At any time, giving charcoal in the snow is more memorable than icing on the cake.
It's just that he didn't expect that the queen's performance was equally simple.
It was not until he stood in front of the former queen of Naples that Alexander was slightly surprised to find that the newly-wed widow was much younger than he thought. To find this site, please search for "" or enter the URL:
