Conquer the Dawn of Heaven
Vol 7 Chapter 36: "Encounter"
The storm in the town of Caslera did not attract much attention. After seeing the report of the local officials, Isabella only ordered the local lord to calm down the conflict that annoyed her.
The conflicts between the nobles are too much and too ordinary. After all, for those who are full of nothing to do, the excessive energy is either hard to create a marriage or an illegitimate child. There are not many nobles who draw their swords and cut people, like Prince Enrique of Grapes who are willing to do serious business.
Isabella is actually envious of Portugal. Although it seems not as powerful as Castilla, but it shows a group of very powerful characters. Among them, a large number of explorers led by Enrique rely on their Perseverance and curiosity can actually create so many enviable miracles.
This is the reason why Isabella knows that the treasury is tense, but she can still find a way for Columbus to support his expedition to the Atlantic. She is keenly aware of the great role of the ocean. The Queen of Castile firmly believes that If there is an opportunity for their kingdom to become the most powerful country in Europe, then controlling the ocean is the best way.
The Queen sent a minister whom she trusted as a messenger to patrol the North. Although she knew that this might cause dissatisfaction with the lords and nobles, she still made this decision, but the mission of the messenger was only to listen to the opinions of both parties. Later, mediate with the local nobles to solve this trouble.
The conflict in the town of Caslera is actually a very common phenomenon after the war to regain the land. It is not a big deal to fight for the territory, so the Queen ’s decision can be said to be quite satisfactory.
At this time, no matter whether it is Isabella or those nobles, no one realizes what other impact this trivial matter will have.
Philip is in a good mood these days, although under the hint of the queen he had to have two days to make it difficult for him to meet Juana, who was kept in the room but was not allowed to come out. After the woman, he still has a lot of time to do what he likes.
Philip recently became fascinated by the little house in the city of Mrs. Olgala. It was a beautiful building on Qingshu Street. Some exotic styles were matched with the oval shape due to the terrain. The two wings make this red house next to the Pisuega River look full of peculiar charm.
Of course, Philip was not really suddenly interested in architecture. What he liked was the young ladies and sisters in that house. As the Duke of Vienna and the Governor of the Lowlands, Philip was not the kind of scenery that actually mixed up. What a good poor nobleman, on the contrary, he is young and rich, and more importantly, he is handsome and beautiful. All of this adds up to making the son of the Holy Roman Emperor the largest **** in Europe.
But in the past, Philip was more of a circumstance among those noble ladies. He walked from a noble lady ’s boudoir to another noble lady ’s bed. Every time there was no unfavorable experience that made him proud, but gradually became Suddenly tasteless.
Philip wanted to find some new excitement, but he would neither go out to sea, nor would he want to lead soldiers to fight. He just wanted to make life more and more tedious since he married Juana.
At this time, the appearance of Mrs. Olgala, who had come to Valladolid from other places, seemed to just meet his requirements.
The Red House, which is what people call the brothel, and the lady Olgala brought her girls to Valladolid not long after she became the darling of the local noble and wealthy businessmen, many people relish The comfortable environment and delicious food in that house, as for other things that make them happy, naturally make these people rush.
Philip is one of these people. He is already a regular visitor to this red house. Many local nobles know that he often comes here. Some people also patronize the red house while he is here to have fun. The prince had a familiar face.
Isabella and Ferdinand have no sons until now. Although Ferdinand has several illegitimate children, they obviously have no inheritance rights, so among their daughters, Juana has undoubtedly become the first heir. This is almost no secret.
It's just that Juana is not a good person. Although Ferdinand and his wife tried their best to block the news, the problem of Juana's abnormal mental state has been spread among the aristocratic circles, which made many people quickly realize that maybe It is likely that her husband Philip, who will truly rule the United Kingdom in the future, may even be crowned king instead of ruling the country as Prince Regent.
So there are more people who want to bet on Philip, and the Red House is undoubtedly a good place to be close to this future king.
Philip himself was clearly aware of this, he was even very happy that the nobles were competing to please him, but he did not get rid of it. After all, his husband and wife were not good, if he seemed too good Too much will inevitably cause their dissatisfaction.
And Philip does n’t think he needs to be too eager to show his passion for inheritance. Unless the couple can miraculously reborn a son, now it seems that the throne must be Juana, as long as he waits patiently Okay.
But this seems really unlikely.
So Philip ’s greater interest in the Red House was not about how to recruit those nobles, but about talking about life with the young ladies.
Philip was actually very interested in the house hostess Mrs. Olgala. He felt that the mature woman had a charm that fascinated him, but the woman seemed to have little interest in him, and Philip did not want to be forced by a strong man.
The most important thing is that there are too many beautiful young ladies here, not only beautiful but also different in variety, which made Flipley almost dazzling on the first day.
Philip's hobbies are very wide. Unlike his parents-in-law who are prejudiced against pagans, he has a strong curiosity about exotic styles.
After gradually getting bored with the blond and blond European women, he became interested in Moorish women with coffee-like color and smooth silky skin.
So as long as he arrives in the Red House these days, he will find different Miss Moore to chat alone, or sometimes two, of course, if the interest is strong and the state is good, it may increase the number of chats.
In short, Philip was really comfortable during this time, the stern father-in-law was not around, but also stern but understood that his mother-in-law did not interfere too much. As for Juana, the woman is now locked in the room and not allowed to come out. The good times can't be better.
Philip spent more and more time in the red house, and later did not return to the palace for several days in a row, which finally caught Isabella's attention.
The queen had to ask her servant chief to find Philip in private, suggesting to him that the queen wanted him not to be embarrassed by Juana, especially now that after hearing that her emotions have gradually stabilized through the care of pastors and doctors, Isabella Hope Philip can take care of her a little.
Although very reluctant, Philip knew that the queen who never proposed to him could not refuse once he opened his mouth, so he had to say goodbye to the young ladies and then go to the palace to see him for several days. Noodle wife.
To Philip ’s surprise, Juana ’s recovery was obviously good. Her spirit was surprisingly good. Although she was still so enthusiastic after seeing him, she could n’t see the kind of fire that made him uneasy. The only thing that is always the same kind of tenderness.
This made even Philip, who was dissatisfied with her, unable to say anything, and perhaps because of the separation of days, Philip noticed that Juana seemed to be a lot more beautiful, and once the wife of a beautiful woman showed On the fascinating side, Philip was naturally intrigued.
So the little couple who accompanied the Queen to dinner only halfway through the meal and couldn't wait to leave. Looking at Philip's impatience, Queen Isabella felt somewhat relieved.
Isabella does n’t really care whether the couple is in harmony, just like she and Ferdinand, from the beginning, they never considered whether to become a loving couple. For them, power Is the key to connecting them.
However, some recent rumors have heard Isabella have to pay attention. Many nobles seem to suddenly become eager to run to the red house. Isabella does not believe that those people are really so eager to think. In the early adopters, it was clear that these people were going to Philip.
Isabella knows that it seems that Juana ’s succession to the throne is a foregone conclusion. After all, she is unlikely to have a child, or even if she can be born, she may not be a boy, and neither she nor the Castilians will allow Fei. Dinan's illegitimate child is on the throne, so the only option is Juana.
Then Philip became the key.
Isabella felt it necessary to pay more attention to Philip's affairs. Although she could understand that the nobles seemed to want to invest in the future prince's thoughts as soon as possible, Isabella still felt that she should be warned from time to time not to be too smug.
Isabella's warning worked somewhat, and Philip spent a good time with Juana in the following days.
Until one day, he slapped Juana in the face!
The thing is actually very simple. On a very normal morning, the husband and wife were too tired to get up after a morning exercise, so the servant brought breakfast to the bedroom. This was not a big deal, but next What happened surprised everyone.
When a maid who was not pretty or even ugly looked into the bedroom with a tray, she just saw Philip coming down from the bed and was about to pour some wine. The prince's strong body and beautiful appearance naturally made the maid a little distracted It wasn't a big deal at first, but Juana, who had been looking completely normal all the time, broke out at this time.
She yelled and jumped off the bed suddenly, and then, before the maid had understood what was happening, she first flipped the plate in her hand, then rushed to grab the poor maid ’s collar and hit her face fiercely, while The woman kept scolding the woman.
The maid was completely stunned. Even Philip on the side was stunned. When he finally reacted and rushed to try to stop it, he was frightened by a knife that Juana grabbed from the ground.
Juana grabbed the maid and walked out, ignoring almost no clothes on her body, and then she was beating the woman who was about to be scared in the hall, until the servants from the news tried her best to take her Rescue from the hand of Juana brandishing a knife.
Watching Juana, who was robbed of the knife and standing there, breathing out that scary, crazy look again, Philip finally couldn't bear it and slammed her violently.
Then he ignored his wife who was knocked down on the ground by his slap, angrily grabbed the clothes sent by the servant next to him, and put on and turned away indiscriminately.
Juana did not get up, she lay quietly on the ground, looking up at the ceiling above her head in a daze.
The close-fitting maid came running panic and wanted to help her but didn't dare. Looking at Juana's empty eyes, the maid could only stand aside and helplessly grabbed her hand.
Philips left the palace angrily, and he was so angry that he actually married such a woman, so he simply rode away from the palace and planned to let himself go away from the crazy woman.
When Philips came to the Red House full of anger, it was already dark.
He ignored the people who greeted him, but walked through the vestibule to the second floor and walked to the door of a room to stop and let himself calm down slightly before knocking on the door.
The door opened and a maid appeared at the door.
Seeing Philips, the maid immediately bowed and saluted, then let it aside.
Philips walked into the room and looked unexpectedly at a young man sitting opposite Mrs. Olgala.
In the impression of Philips, although Mrs. Olgala runs this fun fair called the Red House, she has never heard of a man with whom she has a relationship, so she saw a young noble appear in Olgala ’s room. Philips After being curious, he was a little angry.
"His Royal Highness, you are really honored to be here."
Mrs. Olgala stood up and walked to Philip. The smile on her face looked the same as before, but Philip still noticed that she seemed to be paying attention to the young man when she was talking.
"Ma'am, I have to say that you make me feel more comfortable here than in the palace," Philip waved his hand, and the troubles that Juana had brought to him before made him a little upset and became a little restless. So immediately after he finished speaking, he looked at the young man, "So, this is ..."
As Philip asked, he looked at the young man carefully. He noticed that although the young aristocrat seemed to be a servant because he came from afar, his clothing and sitting there undoubtedly proved his extraordinary identity. .
The young man stood up, and for a moment Philip felt that he looked strange in his eyes. It was a strange expression that could not be said, as if he were looking at something rare.
But this strange feeling was only a flash, and the young nobleman bowed down to him: "His Royal Highness, it is an honour to meet you. I am Duke of Rome Tesia, Alexander Juliant Gumbre."
Philip's mouth opened slightly, staring at the young duke in front of him in amazement.
He had never imagined that he would see this man he had heard in a brothel in Valladolid.
The Duke of Roma Tesia was an ally of his father, but it can also be said to be an enemy, because Philip had seen the emperor's angry and helpless description of the young duke more than once in his father's letter to him.
He knew that this man used the war between Austria and France to take control of Lombardy twice from his father, and even he is now supporting his brother-in-law to fight for the Duke of Milan.
This naturally made Maximian hate him a lot, but the emperor had to admit that the Duke of Roma Tecchia really helped him a lot in the containment of the French, especially when he was in Switzerland. When the failure of the army caused great distress when he was unable to organize an army contending with Louis XII in Northern Italy, it was the generosity of the Roman Duke of Tethys that relieved him of his urgent needs.
Therefore, when Emperor Maximian complained with his son, his attitude towards the duke seemed somewhat entangled. While he was angry with this man, he had to cheat with his money to support France. Human war.
What makes Maximian helpless is that with the failure of the Fugger family in the Hungarian copper mining industry, the emperor has lost this money bag that has always provided him with financial support, which makes him even know the duke But it is not the kind of injustice of the Fugger family, his money is not so easy to get, but facing huge military expenditure, he can only recognize it by holding his nose.
All this is known to Philip ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ If he said that he might not have touched it earlier, but after the unexpected port closure incident in the port of Amsterdam, Flipley can be said to be right "Money" really understands how it feels.
Looking at the young duke, Philip was full of doubts. He didn't know how this man suddenly arrived in Castile. Especially thinking that he seemed to be said to have some relationship with that Grogening, Philip couldn't help being alert.
"Then you and Mrs. Olgala are friends?" Philip tentatively asked, thinking of Normezi, Earl of Julipe who had come to Valladolid before, which made him more careful.
"Yes, but I just came to visit my wife by the way."
Alexander nodded with a smile.
"Then you have other things to come to Valladolid. I don't know if I can help." Philip asked seemingly casually.
"Of course, if there is a need, I hope I can get your help. As for my intention, I think I came to visit relatives." Alexander answered with a smile.
