Conquer the Dawn of Heaven

The Grand Duke ’s team is not large. As the Knights of Moleco said, because the Principality of Canola has received orders from the Sudan, it has to disband the army that was not large in number. According to the orders of Bayesert II, Even Karl de Caniola, as the Grand Duke, had to helplessly succumb. He brought only a dozen or so people with his entourage, and although they were armed, they did not wear armor.

Grand Duke Carl was very excited, and when he was still far away, he ordered the following trumpeter to continually sound the horn, but he was obviously quite wary of the Montina army where the princess's convoy came, so he sent in advance A relative came and met his aunt and fiancee.

Grand Duke Carl did not welcome the arrival of Montina ’s army, he hoped that these foreigners would leave the territory of the Principality of Caniola as soon as possible, so when the pro attendant met Princess Caniola and later visited Alexander, he first After reaching the due amount of courtesy, he immediately replaced the Grand Duke and asked when the Montina army left their country.

"We may need to fix it," Alexander ignored the ugly look, but asked the Knight of Moleco to accompany the princess to the city. "My army will fix it outside the city, and I hope to see Dagong himself. "

When the pros took the words of Alexander to the Grand Duke, Grand Duke Karl Cocanola hesitated for a long time, but finally agreed to meet the count from afar.

A nobleman from Rome with an army will always get attention, and what makes Duke Carl more concerned is that he wants to know why this foreign nobleman will travel with his aunt and fiancee.

Grand Duke Karl Cocanola is a young man with a low profile and rough face.

When he rides on the horse, he looks head-on, except that he looks a little shorter than the ones around him, which does not make people feel strange, but when approaching or dismounting, he is obviously very special. It was exposed.

Grand Duke Carl's spine was raised high, and his short neck was almost and completely sunk between his shoulders. This made him look like an animal sitting on the ground and leaning forward.

And perhaps due to the influence of the hunchback, his two legs also looked a bit strange, and he seemed to be able to run a goat between the two legs.

When he saw the Montina army from afar, the Grand Duke showed a surprised look. He looked back at his followers strangely, and then he slowly followed the road slowly. Take a look.

When he saw the carriage that accompanied Princess Caniola slowly coming out of the line and riding Alexandria in his direction, the Grand Duke immediately showed his interest.

"Have you noticed that the soldiers of that army actually wore exactly the same clothes," the Grand Duke curiously said to his followers, "I don't know how much it will cost to do this, but don't you think this is weird?"

"His Royal Highness, there are also Bohemians among them," a man reminded the Grand Duke "they are not wearing the same clothes."

"But it's still weird, isn't it, these Roman nobles are really weirdos," said the Grand Duke intriguingly, until he saw Princess Cagnola, who was sitting on the carriage and looking out from the open thick curtain.

Dagong was obviously eager to meet his fiancee, so he could n’t wait to urge the horse forward before the carriage stopped. When he bent down from the horse to salute the two princesses in the car, his eyes narrowed because of excitement. A slit.

Then he straightened his waist plate, which was not easy to stand up, crossed the carriage and looked at Alexander on the other side.

"So you are the earl from Rome?" The Grand Duke looked at Alexander a bit picky. "You are much younger than I thought."

"So what do you think it should look like?" Alexander asked.

"You should be older, as far as I know, the nobles there are no longer interested in fighting the heretics, so you just watched our land constantly being taken away by the Ottomans, but nobody wanted to come. Help us."

"His Royal Highness, I'm here now."

In the face of this Grand Duke who kept complaining as soon as he met, Alexander was indeed a bit curious. He heard from some of the news along the way that he had a general understanding of the current situation of the Principality of Caniola. Compared with the scrupulous powers, the life of the Principality of Cañola is not so good, especially after last year ’s rash offense against Moldova because of a miscalculation of the situation.

"Can I look at your army?" The Grand Duke suddenly asked, and he urged the horse to cross the carriage toward the distant team of hunting guards before Alexander agreed.

Alexander turned his horse's head but did not keep up. He watched the Grand Duke walk in front of the team of hunting guards, and then jogged along the ranks like a review.

"idiot."

Alexander heard a very low voice coming from not far away, and then he saw the younger brother-in-law who despised the young Prince Gary and watched him riding on the horse.

Duke Carl's speed was not slow, and he quickly ran back to the carriage, his face hung with excitement, and far away, he said to Alexander, "You have a very strange army, Count If I did n’t know that it was impossible, I even suspected that they are nobles. I have to know that even in the courts of Moldova and Wallachia, I have never seen such a decent group of people. ”

"My simplest request for my army is decent," Alexander smiled at the Grand Duke, and he noticed that the Grand Duke seemed a little too excited, so that Princess Canola had to remind him that he only wanted to invite The guests entered the city.

"But your army can't enter," Dagong said when he said, "It's a pity that you can bring your captains and officers, and then I will arrange someone to find a camp for your army."

"About this, I think the princess might have something to tell you." Alexander looked at the cold princess in the carriage. He didn't know if the princess was going to gossip because he finally arrived, but He didn't care about this, or how much he hoped something would happen.

But the princess apparently did not have this plan. Although she looked at Alexander with a bit of hostility, she nodded in the end: "I think there may be things that I need to make clear."

Grand Duke Carl seemed to listen to his aunt. He just nodded and immediately nodded, then he couldn't wait to get off the horse with the help of his entourage, and then climbed into the carriage of the two princesses.

Only when he was going to sit next to Princess Marco Marchido, Prince Gary, who had always been nearby, let out a grunt of dissatisfaction.

"Little Jiali, I am going to be your brother-in-law. Now let me talk to my fiancee more," Dagong said to the prince while he was talking, and then immediately turned his head and enthusiastically asked Princess Marchi Dovi. .

Alexandria looked at this scene with interest. He noticed the unpleasant look on Prince Gary ’s face, and also noticed that the Grand Duke seemed to be too enthusiastic, which made him vaguely aware of the strangeness of the Principality of Caniola. With a little guessing.

The city of Ljubljana is surrounded by mountains, because of the huge lake in the city, the whole city is divided into three different parts.

What surprised Alexander a little was that there were both ecclesiastical and orthodox churches in this city.

This aroused Alexander's interest. After all, the contradiction between the Orthodox Church and the Catholic Church has lasted for thousands of years. The grievances of the two sides are more complicated than those of pagans.

This situation in Ljubljana is not only rare, it is already a miracle.

Seemingly seeing Alexander's surprise, the Knight of Morocco came to Alexander and marched with him.

"Caniola is dominated by the two churches," the voice of the knight was somewhat helpless. "The original Duke of Marchi devi was forced by the Count Cepes of Transylvania, so he had to change Believe in the Catholic Church, and Caniola is mostly devout Orthodox. "

The words of the knight made Alexandria instantly understand a lot about the country. Obviously, the marriage of Grand Duke Karl to the Princess Marchiweiwei is not only related to the integrity of the Principality, but it may also involve a compromise between two different local churches. The young Prince Gary's contempt for the Grand Duke should also be inseparable from this.

But the knight ’s words were obviously not finished yet. Looking at a house indistinctly seen across the lake in the distance, the Knight of Moleco shook his head and continued: "The Marchivi family once became the ruler of Caniola. Ten years ago, the king ordered the construction of those churches in Ljubljana. "

Listening to the knight's resentful tone, Alexander nodded a little, but he could understand the knight's seemingly dissatisfied mood, although perhaps more of this was actually a struggle for power, but he did not want to pierce this.

It was just Cepes in Transylvania who heard this legendary or bloody, cruel and mysterious name, Alexander really couldn't face it lightly.

The legend about Transylvania is really famous. The story of the famous Earl Dracula once made countless people explore the secrets of vampires, and Transylvania is this famous legend. Birthplace.

Just think about it, which actually involves the legendary vampire count, Alexander feels a little strange and curious.

Dracula, this is what people call the Count Cepes of Transylvania. This name, which was originally used as a nickname, later became a representative of vampires, and even if you put aside all the ridiculous rumors, then The story of Count Cepes himself is also full of blood and brutality.

But that was obviously something that happened decades ago. Alexander is not interested in what Transylvania is like now. His only concern is how to find Sophia as soon as possible.

The Ljubljana Palace is also not as distinctive as the city, or it is better to be shabby. As long as you stand a little higher, you can see through it at a glance. The size of the palace is not large, except for a low gray wall. Several marble statues seem to add a bit of magnificence to this building. The entire palace can be described as shabby.

Grand Duke Carl had already prepared for the arrival of his fiancee, so when they just walked into the courtyard of the royal palace, a strong smell of cooked meat had already arrived.

In the open space on the side of the courtyard of the palace, the hot water in several large pots was gurgling with blisters, and the large pieces of beef that rolled from the bottom of the water from time to time issued a mouth-watering aroma.

"The fattest beef and chunks of honey, as well as elk and goat meat, I believe that the food here is enough to make you don't want to leave." Duke Carl flaunted Prince Gary on the side, he did not notice His words slightly changed the look of Princess Marchivi, who was walking on the other side of him.

"Marchiwei also has a lot of cattle and sheep," Prince Gary said a little dissatisfied, and then he seemed to think of something and suddenly turned back to ask Alexander, "What about Rome, does Rome have so many animals?"

Hearing that he suddenly asked himself, Alexander was a little surprised, then shook his head and smiled: "Yes, but not as much here."

Seeing that Prince Gary seemed somewhat disappointed, Alexander went on to say: "But the Romans like to eat fish. On their table, in addition to cattle and sheep, they also have whole pieces of smoked fish and chicken. Sometimes the guests will be grilled. A goose, if it is a distinguished guest, will smoke a peacock with honey juice soaked in the leaves of saffron and nettle branches. "

"Peacock?" Prince Gary questioned incredulously, and the people next to him seemed to be attracted by Alexander's words, and even Grand Duke Karl listened with some interest.

"As for fruits, many people like to eat grapes and lemons."

"We also have lemons here," said Duke Carl immediately, and he did not forget to smile at Princess Marchi Dovi. "I prepared a lot of delicious lemons and apples for you. I believe that I will eat some fruit before eating. You have more appetite. "

"This is indeed the case," Alexander didn't feel uncomfortable because Grand Duke interrupted him. "But sometimes if lemon juice is poured on the half-baked beef, the taste will be more unique ~ www.ltnovel.com ~ and then served A nice glass of wine. "

"Oh, Earl, you said I'm already a little hungry," said Duke Carl, and couldn't help but speed up his steps, but even then he still didn't forget to reach out and hold Princess Marchi's hand. "We have to entertain my fiancee's family There are guests from afar, as for your aunt, I will also see you off. "

Princess Cañola, who has been silent since entering the palace, glanced at her nephew and remained silent, but to Alexander's surprise, when she sat down, she found that Princess Cañola took the initiative to sit beside him .

Perhaps the seat was raised deliberately. After sitting down, the Grand Duke seemed to be no different from other people. He first toasted and enthusiastically thanked God for the fiancee's arrival, and then welcomed every arriving guest.

Dagong kept drinking, and those close to him kept suggesting toasts in various names, until Dagong suddenly said to Alexander: "Count, I regret that the Ottomans are coming, so yours Can only leave Caniola as soon as possible. "

With the voice of Grand Duke Carl, the hall fell into silence.

Everyone looked at Alexandria, and Busako, who was sitting on the other side of Alexandria, noticed the meat-cutting knives of the Grand Duke who seemed to carelessly caress.

"You have to go," Grand Duke Carl's face was gloomy at this time. "I don't know why you came to Karl Aura. I don't care about this, but you can't stay in my Principality, which will give Karl Aura. It's troublesome. "

At first, Alexander just listened quietly, but when he was about to speak, he suddenly felt that the corner of his clothes was being pulled by someone secretly. When his eyes glanced aside, he accidentally saw the person pulling his clothes. Princess Alexandra Ko Caniola.
