Rise of Empires: Spain

Carlo was in a good mood after returning to Italy.

There were not so many intrigues in Italy, and the relationship with his brothers was very stable, which was much better than the bad situation in Spain.

After returning to the room where he lived before going to Spain, Carlo's mood also gained a brief calm.

The fatigue of the journey made Carlo very sleepy, so Carlo decided to enjoy a good night and go to reminisce with his father and brothers the next day.

This time when he came to Italy, two maids also came with Carlo.

After all, they are also Italians, and the purpose of this trip is to take their families to Spain together. After all, it is not known when they will return to Italy next time.

Carlo has many maids, but Anna and Alice are not ordinary maids.

They are only responsible for Carlo's daily life, and help Carlo solve some personal matters by the way. Their status is more like Carlo's lover.

Although they can't give them a name, it is still possible to give their families a rich life.

If Carlo has more lovers in the future, the treatment will be the same. After all, Carlo is not a heartless person. Money is just something that Carlo can get easily.

After falling asleep peacefully with the help of the maid and enjoying a wonderful night, Carlo visited his father Vittorio Emanuele II early the next morning.

Although it has been less than a year since he went to Spain, Carlo feels that his father Vittorio Emanuele II has changed a lot.

It's normal to think about it. Emanuele II was born in 1820 and just turned 50 this year. He has entered old age in this era.

In addition, the unification of Italy has relaxed the whole person, and the change in state is also natural.

If Carlo remembers correctly, it seems that King Emanuele in history did not live past 60 years old. If it is not much different from history, it may be just a few years.

"Father, why haven't I seen you for more than a year, why do you look much older?" Seeing his father Emanuele, Carlo began to care about his health and bring the two closer.

"I'm 50 years old, Carlo." Emanuele II walked up, touched Carlo's head affectionately, and said with a smile: "Thank God, my child is still fine.

You didn't suffer any injustice in Spain? If you can't hold on, remember to ask Loren to send me a telegram, and I will let the navy go to welcome you back."

Carlo nodded, and Emanuele II's concern for him was clearly visible.

Although Carlo came from a time travel, he not only did not disrespect Emanuele II, his cheap father, but also respected and recognized him.

No matter what the king's reputation in Italy is, at least for Carlo, he is a qualified father, a single father who does his best to give his children all the love.

"I'm doing well in Spain, father." Carlo smiled and said, "The rebellion of the Carlos faction has been quelled, and the rebellion in Cuba has also ended. Spain will usher in a period of peace.

With the help of Duke Primo and Archduke Serrano, I am safe in Spain, and you don't have to worry about me."

Hearing Carlo's words, Emanuele II first looked at his son seriously, then nodded heavily, with a proud smile on his face, and said: "That's good, Carlo.

But I still want to say that we will always be a family, and I will always be your father, Carlo.

If there is anything to talk about this time, let those officials talk about it. I will let Giovanni try his best to help you. Live in the palace during this period. You shouldn't have seen Rosa yet, right?"

Rosa is the second wife of Emanuele II. Before this, she had always been with Emanuele II as a mistress.

From this point, we can also see how normal it is for European nobles to have a mistress in this era. This is not only not a stain among nobles, but also a topic of discussion among nobles.

Nobles without mistresses would be suspected of being in poor health, after all, even a queen like Isabel had countless lovers.

However, there was a tacit understanding among the nobles. Most mistresses were of lower status, and even if someone like Rosa eventually became a queen, her offspring would not have the right to inherit the throne.

Queen Rosa gave birth to a daughter, Victoria, and a son, Emanuele, for Emanuele II, but only the son Emanuele was awarded the title of Count of Fontanafredda.

All the sons born to the original wife Adelheide were dukes, and the only count died young and did not have time to be conferred the title of duke.

This also shows Emanuele's attitude towards legitimate and illegitimate sons and the importance that European nobles attached to bloodline.

Even if Carlo and all his brothers had accidents, the throne of Italy would not fall on Emanuele, born to Rosa.

Carlo had no objection to Emanuele marrying Rosa. After all, whether as a mistress or as a queen, there was no loss to Carlo's interests.

Seeing Carlo nodded in agreement, Emanuele II smiled and said, "You are almost 20 years old, it is time to find a suitable marriage.

Carlo, I believe you also understand that a suitable wife can not only manage your palace in an orderly manner, but also bring a lot of help to the development of the country.

It's a pity that Adelheide is no longer here, otherwise she would definitely be able to pick a beautiful queen for you. "

Most of the marriages like this should be handled by the mother. Generally, a large banquet is organized, potential marriage partners are invited to attend, and the girl of your choice is found at the banquet.

But because Carlo's mother, Queen Adelheide, died too early, matters related to the marriage can only be prepared by Carlo or the Spanish government.

Although Rosa is also the Queen of Italy, she is not Carlo's mother, and she is also a queen who married a noble and a humble man. The banquet she prepared may not be able to invite the royal families of those powerful countries.

The nobles still attach great importance to these. Carlo's best marriage partner is the princess of those powerful countries, who can bring practical and effective help to Carlo.

The next best is the princess of those kingdoms in Europe. At least the noble blood is recognized by other European countries, and there will be no problem with bloodline.

When it comes to his own marriage problem, Carlo is also very troubled.

With Carlo's appearance and wealth, as well as the status of the King of Spain, it is still difficult to find a girl he likes. problem.

But Spain's requirements for the queen are not just that Carlo likes her, but also that she has noble blood and the country behind her can help Spain.

This is already a very small range, and it is still very difficult to find a suitable candidate for the queen in such a small range.

At present, the most suitable ones are the royal families of Britain or Germany. Britain is the most powerful naval power, and Germany is the most powerful land power, both of which can provide sufficient help to Spain.

However, when thinking of Queen Victoria's famous hemophilia, Carlo has a headache. If bad luck makes the Spanish royal family inherit hemophilia, it will be really bad luck.

Hemophilia is one of the main reasons for the extinction of European royal families, and there is no proper cure even in later generations.

The Spanish royal family originally only has Carlo as a single child. If the next generation inherits hemophilia because of the marriage with the British royal family, then the reign of the Savoy dynasty in Spain is estimated to be counted down.
