Conquer the Dawn of Heaven
Vol 7 Chapter 4: "transaction"
In 1479, the Castile throne succession war, which lasted for two and a half years, ended with Juana's failure. As a loser, Juana rejected her aunt Isabella's proposal that she marry herself just full The condition of the one-year-old son Juan chose to walk into the monastery, at the same time she announced that she would renounce all her rights, and also renounce all the past inheritance of the kingdom of Castile from her father King Enrique. There is also a claim for future rights.
This decision was painful because it meant that she would have nothing to expect from her princess status since then, when a group of followers who chose to remain loyal to her tried to stop Juana from agreeing to these conditions. , Some of them suggested that you can retreat to the islands of Castile in the Atlantic Ocean, and some suggested to simply leave Africa, just like Moses was out of Egypt, to regroup in the Castile colony in Africa, waiting for the opportunity war.
But perhaps after a series of failures, she has completely lost hope for the future, or she is simply tired. Juana rejected the suggestions of her men. She chose to voluntarily give up the inheritance of the throne and announced that it will never again. Pursue equal rights.
In the following 20 years, Juana did indeed abide by her promise, even if someone once encouraged and encouraged her to look for opportunities again to raise the banner of the throne, but she refused stubbornly. Those people were very disappointed. After seeing no hope from her, people left her one after another, leaving her alone to live this lonely life that seemed to have been fated.
Only now, when Alexander stood in front of her, a strange expression that had never existed in Juana ’s eyes appeared. She completely ignored the stunned look of the maid next to her, but moved forward slowly until she was about to touch Alexander. Down, then she raised her hand and gently stroked Alexander's dark red hair.
"This is really a miracle," Juana muttered to herself, her eyes straightened, it seemed that her attention was not at the moment but she was thinking about something, and then all the people beside her asked with a surprised look To "The Duke, have you seen my father?"
After asking this, Juana suddenly smiled, she looked at Alexander with an inexplicable look, and then said to herself like: "How could you have seen him, according to your age when you were born He was already dead by the time. Yeah, you must have said that to others, are you a dead boy, right? "
Looked at Juana's ironic and ridiculous look. Alexander glanced at the maid next to him, and then glanced at Juana with questioning eyes.
"Go choose your favorite jewelry, if you can choose a few things for me," Juana told the maid, and then ignored the inexplicable look, but had to follow Tiego out of the room. Maid, she slowly circled around Alexander until she stood in front of him again. "Tell me that since you have never seen my father, who told you his appearance."
As he said this, Juana seemed unbelievable and wanted to touch Alexander's hair, but he grabbed her wrist by raising her hand.
"Your hair color is very interesting, tell me is it true, or is it dyed with something?" Juana's eyes were still on Alexander's hair, and then she looked cold. "Let me go, no matter what you do Who is it? This is rude. "
Alexander gently released the hand holding Juana's wrist: "His Royal Highness, please put away your curiosity temporarily, don't you think we should get to know it again?"
Juana nodded silently, she stepped back two steps, and then looked at Alexander seriously: "I am the daughter of King Enrique IV of Castile, he is the only relative in the world," said this At that time, Juana deliberately increased her tone. This is also her right to refuse to give up, even though she has decided not to pursue the throne, claiming to be the biological daughter of Enrique IV.
At first, Isabella used the idea that Juana was not the daughter of her brother King Enrique, but the illegitimate child of her mother and others, forcing Enrique to abolish Juana ’s succession to the throne, and then forcing Enrique to establish her. For the crown prince.
This is of course a very humiliating demand for Enrique IV, and for Juana, it is a shadow that can't get rid of her life.
Therefore, no matter where you are, you must emphasize that you are Enrique ’s biological daughter. This has become a persistence that Juana can never let go, especially when she encounters a Queen Mary who deliberately ridicule her life in the court of Lisbon. Even if it might be troubled next, she would fight back without hesitation.
For Juana, this is probably the only evidence she can prove who she is.
"My name is Joel Modillo, my mother is the Countess of Cosenza, George Anna de Modillo, and my uncle is Count of Naples, Salon de Modillo."
Alexander stopped talking, but looked at Juana calmly.
Sure enough, after hearing these names, the satiric look of Juana on her face slowly became dignified. She carefully thought about something, and when she remembered something, she seemed to open her mouth because of an accident.
"Yes, I remember this name. Your uncle used to be the ambassador of Naples to Castile, and your mother ..." Speaking of which she showed a sudden enlightenment. "I know your mother, she used to Staying with your uncle in Valladolid for a long time, when I was even a friend with her until she suddenly disappeared before my father died. "
Speaking of which, Juana stopped. Although there had been various speculations before, she couldn't help shaking her head slightly: "I really didn't think about this, I think all of this should be your uncle's plan, which even Including ... "Juana did n’t go on, but looked at Alexander again, and then she slowly raised her hand to touch Alexander ’s hair." No matter who your father is, at least you are really attentive, because you even Even my father ’s hair color is the reddish blonde hair, so they let you have this hair, do n’t you? ”
Juana's words made Alexander a little helpless, he gently held Juana's wrist again, so that she was not playing with her hair.
"I'm born, Your Highness," Alexander said, seeing Juana surprised and even inexplicably excited. Alexander held her hand slightly in front of her. "I think I can greet you again." ,my sister."
The solemn expression on Juana's face collapsed in an instant, and her breathing became rapid. At this moment, she instinctively wanted to reject this name that was strange to her, but a voice in her heart stopped her. Do so.
Watching slowly raise his head, looking at her Alexander in front of her, Juana tried to restrain the heart that seemed to keep roaring and gave an impulsive laugh of unknown meaning, but raised her hand and gently held Alexander Face, tiptoe slightly kissed on his forehead.
"Yes, you can call me that, I think this is what my father wants to see, he really wants to have a son of his own." Juana said with a hint of unexplained wry smile, then she Slowly sat back in his chair "So tell me now, what are you doing in Portugal?"
Just as Juana and Alexander "brother" confided in their hearts, the maid in the next room was happily picking up the dazzling jewels on the table that could completely reflect the eyes of the man.
Most of these jewels come from the East or Africa, and many of these items were obtained through Ashurk, which at least makes them look like a group of merchants from the East.
Obviously made the best preparations for meeting Alexander and Thiago, no matter if anyone wants to find any flaws in the calendar, it is almost impossible.
"Is that businessman a duke?" The maid suddenly stopped her busy business and asked Tiego, who was beside him, curiously. "But I heard the lady call him the Duke of Rome Tesia, where is that? "
"A small place." Tiego responded ambiguously, of course he knew it wouldn't take long, but think about it when people know the Duke of Roma Tecia, there is no need to hide it. what.
"These jewels are really beautiful," the maid said enviously. She knew that she needed to pick some things she might like for the hostess before she could pick up a few baubles that she could afford. She dared not care about the expensive real jewelry, because that would only make her depressed because she couldn't get them.
Tiego picked up a necklace with many pearls connected in series. He first took photos in the sun. After seeing the envious but reluctant look of the maid, he handed the pearl necklace to the maid: " I think this necklace should be the best lady for you. "
"This is indeed a rare good, but this can only be regarded as a selection for my hostess, I think I can't afford such expensive jewelry." The maid glanced at the necklace with regret, ready to throw it Put it in the box where the jewelry selected for Juana is stored.
"No, I think this is more suitable for you," Tiego said slightly, "Please forgive me for talking about your mistress in the back, I think His Royal Highness is more suitable for those brightly colored jewelry, whether you are skin or Appearances are more suitable for wearing this kind of pearl necklace, which is famous for its whiteness. As for the price, I think as long as you can say a few good things to my friends in front of the temple like this time, this is obviously enough for you. The payment for this jewelry is over. "
"How can this be, this is a bribe!" The maid was a little uneasy, but instead of refusing, she looked nervously at the door, seeming to be afraid that someone might discover the ongoing transaction.
"This is not a bribe. It's just that friends help each other. You got beautiful jewelry. We got the care of your Highness. Isn't that good?"
The maid seemed to be touched. She held her sleeves a little hesitantly. She didn't know what she was whispering in her mouth. Then she nodded suddenly, and turned back to Tiegue.
Tiego smiled and reached out to hang the pearl necklace around his neck for the maid, looking at the maid who turned around although she deliberately took a serious look, but it was too early to think about Tiego Has flew to the next door.
Think of the enemy and opponent that the Duke will face. Although it is clear that the series of miracles of victory that Alexander had created before, Ketieg still feels that they are facing an unprecedented powerful enemy this time.
Isabela, Queen of Castile, is a legend of the Iberian Peninsula.
When I first blatantly disobeyed the orders of my half-brother Enrique IV and married Ferdinand of Aragon, apart from knowing that the princess had a stubborn and brave personality, few people thought This young princess will once again create a series of brilliant achievements in the next two decades.
After defeating Juana to become Queen of Castile, Isabella has shown extraordinary means and determined will. She firmly believes that the campaign of regaining the lost ground, which has lasted for more than two centuries, will end in her generation. To this end, she bravely waged a war against the Moorish kingdom that had occupied the southern part of the Iberian peninsula for centuries, and under the inspiration of her conviction, outstanding soldiers such as Gonzalo came into being. They Became a hero in the movement to regain the lost ground, and became the strongest supporter around Isabella.
When the last Moorish kingdom established on the Iberian Peninsula was destroyed, Isabella quickly sent priests and nuns, built churches and built parishes in places that had been occupied for a long time and had a strong pagan atmosphere. And the resolute action gained the favor of the Vatican, and in order to completely eradicate the shadow of paganism left in these areas, Isabella even asked the Holy See to establish a dedicated trial for pagans and Tribunal for prisoners of heretics.
This series of measures gave Queen Isabella the almost fanatical worship of her people. The people regarded the Queen as a saint to expel the pagans, a warrior who guarded the world of Christ, and although a strict and fair monarch, this gave Isabella's reputation in Castile is unmatched.
"Maybe all of us are crazy." Thiego thought to himself, he felt that at least he might be crazy, because with the wealth he now owns, he can enjoy the wealth of his life without taking such risks. But he followed Alexander all the way without fear of darkness.
Of course, because he had no escape route, but Tiego knew in his heart that this was actually his own willingness in his heart.
Like Prato, Tiego not only wants to get wealth, but also hopes that one day his own descendants will be able to stand out, and this is obviously a risky, but once successful, it means unimaginable returns. Great opportunity.
It's just that even now Tiego doesn't know the most crucial truth of his adventure.
From the point of view of Tiego, Alexandria clearly intends to support Juana to regain the throne. Although this is indeed difficult, but under the careful arrangement of Alexandria and the careful implementation of Tiego, this is carried out under the eyes of Queen Mary 'S conspiracy slowly became a reality silently.
Juana left the previous monastery. Although she only changed places, she could n’t help but stay away from the palace to avoid the eyes of Mary and her spies. And because of the preparation, Tiego had already joined the monastery of mercy. The officers in the nearby barracks got in touch.
It can be said that as long as there is no accident, Juana ’s activities here are safe, and because of the dissatisfaction with the queen, some Portuguese nobles and officers are likely to become her allies.
With such a thought, Thiego couldn't help but think that maybe all of this was not so out of reach, and if he could help Juana ascend to the Castile throne, then what awaits him is a completely different future and identity .
Compared to Thiego, who still does not know that Alexander is trying to win the crown of the Iberian Peninsula for himself, Juana is obviously much calmer and smarter.
Looking at the young man sitting opposite, Juana's look has returned to her previous solemnity and a little indifference. She doesn't know much about this young man, although I have heard some from Tiego, but this does not allow She was completely convinced.
In addition, looking at the hair that was similar to her father ’s slightly reddish blond hair, Juana could not help asking for a while, is this young man really his half-brother? ?
Regarding the relationship between George Anne and her father, Juana recalled the past years, but she had some new ideas.
She can already be sure that the real purpose of George Anne ’s deliberate friendship with her should be to approach her father. The thought of that Naples woman actually became the father ’s lover on the back of so many people, whether or not she was finally pregnant. , Or gave birth to a child, which is enough to make Juana not surprised but not furious because of this incident.
On the contrary, if necessary, Juana would even preach this hype, because only in this way can she prove that her father Enrique IV is not an incompetent person in some ways, as Isabella said. She broke the rumor that Enrique ’s biological daughter was not.
For this, Juana must also admit that the young man in front of her is her half-brother.
This is a transaction, and Juana knew it from the beginning.
Thinking of this ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Juanna suddenly sighed.
"Your uncle Lensa de Modillo is a real visionary, probably he has seen this situation since then, he knows that I will not refuse to recognize your identity, because if that is equal to I denied myself, "Juana said indifferently." But you have to understand, Duke, this does not mean that I really accept your identity. "
"Of course, dear sister." Alexander was not disappointed with Juana's indifference. He knew that some things might deceive most people, but some people knew it well.
But after Juana said this, Alexander could not help but re-examine Count Modillo ’s plan, and then he found that, as she said, Modillo ’s plan was indeed perfect, at least if he wanted to borrow Enrique's people with this banner, no matter what they think, will certainly support his Juana's "half brother" status.
"Then tell me what you are going to do now," Juana said unmovingly. "You should know Isabella's position in Castile is unshakable now, so how are you going to overthrow her and her? Husband Ferdinand of Aragon? "
"This is a problem," Alexander honestly admitted the strength of the enemy, and then he continued, "But we don't need to provoke the twin kings so early, we start with their daughters."
