Conquer the Dawn of Heaven

Hearing Modillo's name, Ferdinand's face showed a strange look. It looked rather tense than unpleasant.

Joe Surnan seemed to be surprised too. Alexander seemed to see suspicion in his eyes, which made him suddenly realize that perhaps the king's teacher was suspecting something.

Ferdinand withdrew that hand from Alexander's shoulder, and moved slightly to the side, before ordering the attendants: "Please come in."

Alexandria couldn't help looking at the gate of the palace, although he had heard of the earl of Naples, who had the most complicated relationship with him, but he did not expect to see this person so suddenly.

In Alexander's plan, he wanted to wait until he slowly approached this person.

When I heard from Camuli that the Count of Naples, Modillo, had the dedication and hope of reunifying Sicily, the life experience of the fat man in the Abbey of San Seballon, he had roughly outlined a complex that did not look complicated. But it requires extremely patient plans.

This is a plan that can be realized over more than 20 years, but compared to more than 20 years, it is obviously worth unifying the two Sicily.

Not far from the palace gate, a man walked in. When he saw him for the first time, Alexander wanted to say that this person really fits the impression of Modillo in his mind.

Modillo, Earl of Naples, is a well-proportioned, serious-looking man, except for a pair of slightly gloomy eyes, his appearance is very correct, or can be called handsome.

Unlike the costumes of other nobles who fought for battles, Modiro's clothes are not exaggerated, although they are gorgeous, except for a few gold threads on the shoulders, the whole half-length knee-length robe is half-draped like the robe of the ancient Romans On his body, a slightly darker gown was exposed.

Maybe it ’s hard work all year round, Modillo ’s temples are slightly white, but this adds a deep charm to him. When his brown eyes look at people, even if they are just unconsciously passing, it seems to be a falcon. After carefully observing the opponent, you must find out the other party's flaws, and then tear the opponent in one fell swoop.

Ferdinand had already sat back on the throne at this time, but Alexander felt that he was not tired because he was afraid of being said.

"Your Majesty," Modillo bent over to salute, and then he nodded slightly to "Honor."

"Your Excellency." Joe Sulnan nodded his head, but his hand was placed on the back of the throne intentionally or unintentionally, as if to use this action to cheer the king.

"Count, what are you doing?" Ferdinand's voice improved a lot. He was sitting upright on the throne at this time, completely different from the slightly crazy look before, seeing Modillo looking at Alexander Then he quickly explained: "I am discussing things with the Sicilian messenger."

"Is the messenger of Sicily?" Modillo's angular jaw slightly tilted, then nodded. "I know, a young man, but I heard that he had some trouble yesterday."

"Count, you really deserve to be the earl of Naples, and any small thing can't escape your eyes and ears." Joe Sulnan said slightly sarcastically. "But this young man has learned a lesson now, knowing what to do in Naples. As for the trouble. "

"Is that true?" Modillo looked at Alexander with interest. "It's very young. I really didn't expect that such a young man would be sent on the other side of the lighthouse. After all, what we're negotiating is about the border between the two countries. As far as I know, the border situation between the two countries is already a bit bad. I do n’t know if this young man can handle this important task. "

Modillo's words made Josulnan's original calm face show hesitation. He was also worried about whether the young man could be competent for negotiations between the two sides, but the huge crisis facing Naples made him have to hope that this Young people in Sicily.

In fact, what Josulnan really worried about was not only the famine that was going to happen, but also the various doubts and censures that the king might face.

But even so, he still hopes to help the king to overcome this difficulty by himself, because he is very clear that for the king, the uncle who peeks into the throne is disturbing, and the count in front of him does not let him worry.

"Your Excellency, if you are talking about the hope that was raised with the Kingdom of Sicily on how to re-establish the border, then I am here to complete this task."

At this time, Alexander spoke for the first time.

"I have heard of you, young man," Modillo smiled and looked at Alexandria. "I heard you were in great trouble when you first arrived in Naples."

"It was the trouble caused by my entourage," Alexander smiled slightly. "But I think he must have learned his lesson. I can guarantee him about this."

"In this case, then we can continue to discuss," said the count, and then he bowed to Ferdinand. "Your Majesty, I think there is no need to disturb you at all about the boundary between the two sides of the lighthouse. After all, There is more of my territory, so it is more appropriate for me to complete this negotiation. "

Ferdinand apparently didn't expect Modillo to say that. He gaped a bit, and then turned to look at the teacher next to him.

Qiao Suernan's face was somber. Although he tried to slow down his tone, the dissatisfaction in his tone has become obvious: "Your Excellency, although most of the disputes with the other side of the lighthouse have indeed occurred in your territory, but this has been It is related to things between the two Sicilian kingdoms, so it is most appropriate for His Majesty the King to come forward to solve it. Of course, you can decide exactly how to do it. "

Although a lot of concessions have been made, it is clear that Joe Sulnan ’s words did not satisfy Modillo. The Earl ’s slightly gloomy eyes became more gloomy. He looked at Alexander and then sat on the throne. Ferdinand and Joe Sulnan next to him, and then he slowly drew his long sword from his waist.

"Your Majesty, probably I have to use a fierce method to make you understand how important this matter is to me," Modillo said, slowly pointing the sword to Alexander. "Young man, I have to express my regret, personally and You do n’t have any personal grievances, but it ’s related to the rights and interests of my territory, so here I can only solve the problem in this way. ”

Alexander's hand couldn't help but touch the hilt, although he couldn't stop touching it before, but now for the first time he felt that the sword that Mahimo didn't know where to cheat from seemed to be a bit heavy.

"Count, do you want to draw a sword against the messenger ?!" Josulnan walked between the two of them with a loud halt. "Count, you did not hesitate to destroy the reputation of Naples in order to gain the power of this negotiation, and even shame the king." ? "

"But it's more about the honor of my family," Modillo put the sword on the ground, his hands pressed against the hilt. "As Earl of Naples, I have the responsibility to protect my family's honor first, and my family's honor and kingdom are Inseparable."

"But you are humiliating the king now!"

"No, I'm defending the honor of the king," Modillo said, tilting his head and looking at Alexander behind Josulnan. "If I let this person negotiate with the king, it would be a real insult, because you are likely Is negotiating with a messenger who was not recognized by King Ferdinand of Aragon at all. "

Modillo said, the palace immediately fell into silence.

Alexander exhaled a little, and by this time, he was already certain that the Neapolitans knew what happened in Sicily.

At least Modillo knew enough.

He stepped forward and asked: "So, you already know that I was sent by the Sicilian noble parliament to negotiate?"

"Of course I already know that there are enough merchant ships coming from Sicily now." Modillo looked at Alexander with a smile, but because his eyes were too gloomy, this smile looked a bit awkward.

"Wait a minute, Count, do you mean this man is a liar? So he didn't come from Palermo, and what he said is not true?" Ferdinand shouted suddenly, and he used angry Looking at Alexander, he looked at his clothes with regret, and it seemed that it was more about whether the style of clothes mentioned before was also lying to him.

"Of course not your majesty," The Earl shook his head "to know that my letter was addressed to Sicily's palace minister Gomez, but it was not the Sicilian palace minister who sent this young man to negotiate, but the so-called aristocratic parliament. , So I have the right to deny the identity of this person, although I would not consider him a liar ~ www.ltnovel.com ~, but I still think you are not qualified to negotiate with the king. "

After the last sentence to Alexander, Modillo turned to look at the pale-faced Joe Sulnan and then bowed to Ferdinand with a sword in his hand.

"But if this young man is involved in a dispute with me about my territory and Sicily, I am willing to accept his identity, so your majesty, do you think I am in a duel, or do you not recognize him here Messenger identity? "

Ferdinand stared at Modillo in amazement. The young king apparently didn't expect that so many things would happen just to take the time to meet a messenger.

He didn't know what happened to the aristocratic parliament that Modillo said, and he didn't understand why he couldn't negotiate with himself since the messenger was not a fake.

But the king's face improved a lot at once, and it seemed to be glad that the previous topic about clothing was not deceived.

"So what should I do?" Ferdinand frowned, and then he said aloud as if he had made a decision. "Count, since this is the trouble you caused, you have a responsibility to solve, now I will give this person to you, if you are interested, continue to negotiate with him. "

"Your Majesty, this should not be the case." Josulnan cried out to stop.

"I think it's okay," Feddinand stood up impatiently ". There is too much time lost today. It is important to know that there are not so many things to do even when I just returned

After speaking, Ferdinand turned and walked to the corner door.

Joe Sulnan looked angrily at the king's back, and then looked angrily at Modillo.

"Don't look at my lord like this, this is the king's decision," Modillo smiled and looked back to Alexander with a strange smile. "Now you are leaving with me, young man."
