Conquer the Dawn of Heaven

The slightly hot smoke came from the half-open window, but the atmosphere in the room was much duller and more dignified than the gradually hot weather outside.

In front of a long table, the eyes of the negotiators from both sides sat on the two people in between.

When Hami Resal Prom, the plenipotentiary of the Sudan, took a gold seal from the jeweled box, there was a rush of breathlessness in the silent room of the bird.

This is the seal of the Ottoman Sultan and the representative of the supreme power of the Ottoman Empire. Any text covered with this seal will be spread throughout the world as the will of the Sultan.

Opposite, Ladislas II, who also took out the king's seal, silently glanced at Rezaar across the table. He felt like he was insulted because he was a king and the other party was just an eunuch, but now he Not thinking about it anymore, what he needs is to get rid of this war as soon as he did not expect it.

The war in Hungary was almost coming to an end. Roy? Was forced to flee to Moldova. The nobles in southern Hungary had the opportunity to wipe him out completely, but I do n’t know what caused Roy? To escape from the heavy siege.

Ladislas II was not very satisfied with the result, but this was not the main reason that made him eager to get rid of the war. What really disturbed him was Hvar ’s ambiguous attitude.

When Hurva decided to return to Bosnia to declare himself King of Bosnia and Croatia, he did not take all the troops away. In addition to his own troops, he left a team of about 4,000 people on the border with Hungary. The army, these troops came to follow him after hearing the news. Although it was only a force organized by some local nobles, Kladislas II felt threatened.

For this reason, the king had no choice but to ask Alexander whether it was his suggestion, but the answer was no.

Ladislas II did not know whether Alexander ’s words were true or false, but this made him uneasy. He was worried that Hilva might have coveted his southern Hungary, and Roy? Was also one of his hearts. Unshakable shadow.

Ladislas II did not worry about the threat that Hurva would pose to Hungary, because it was clear that the fight for the Bosnian throne was enough to keep him busy for a while. The king was really worried about the Emperor Maximian. In the fight for the Hungarian crown, Ladislas II always remembered it well, and he knew that the emperor had never given up.

A muffled sound came from the table, everyone seemed relieved at this moment, even the militant Ottoman generals could not help smiling at this time, and many of the little coalition nobles standing behind the table had already The excitement embraced each other.

"Peace is here!" The Patriarch of Bucharest raised his arms and issued an excited announcement. Following his words, the Balkan nobles uttered a deep prayer.

The Ottomans looked at them coldly, and under the leadership of Rethal, the Ottomans began to withdraw from the venue.

Alexander was sitting not far from the king on the right side of the table, and there were two great Balkan nobles between them.

Throughout the signing ceremony, he seemed silent or unobtrusive. Even though he knew that many Ottoman generals' eyes were fixed on him, it seemed that he might be in trouble at any time.

Cepes died, he left the crown of Wallachia, Roy? Escaped, and left a turbulent Bosnia and Croatian kingdom that had changed because there was no king for the time being, and Sultan Bayset II was said to be in the situation It's also very bad, as the Ottomans are also eager to sign an agreement and then withdraw their troops.

So who gets the real benefits in this war?

In Helva, he has changed from an exiled noble to someone who is going to openly fight for the crown of Bosnia, and he has now become a hero of the battle of the Balkans, so many people have begun to call him "His Majesty" publicly.

There is also Sophia. Although she has not officially inherited Wallachia, she has actually become the only heir to Wallachia. At the same time, Sophia still retains the title of "Greece Princess" according to the agreement, but she is claiming sovereignty. With appropriate modifications, at least in the agreement with the Ottomans, Sophia's claim was "the legal successor of the Roman Empire and all Roman vassals and vassals".

This is a claim that looks no different from the previous one, but if you look closely, you will find that there is a key qualitative word "unique" missing.

The difference between the sole heir and the legal heir has too many things. It can even be said that the legal but not necessarily the status of the sole heir. Sometimes it can be used as the key to strong claims, and sometimes it can be completely regarded as As a synonym for resignation, after all, although the law can follow the order, it is no different how many inheritance rights have to be excluded.

This is the result of negotiations and compromises with the Ottomans after a lot of experienced and prestigious noble scholars have racked their brains, and Alexander is also satisfied with this explanation.

Or it is not at all.

There is no further reason to claim that power should be used as a backing. No monarch can only take the throne by legitimacy. The only reason for them to become monarchs is either to rely on it or to be a product of compromise after stalemate.

So who else has benefited from this war?

There was a slight imperceptible smile on the corner of Alexander's mouth.

The impact of Bayesert II ’s sudden accident on the Ottoman Empire was too great. At least during this time, Rusha received information from ships passing through the maritime chamber of commerce that the Ottoman navy that had already gathered a large army on the Mediterranean Sea seemed to Not as positive as before, which made Alexander unable to doubt that because of the injury to the Sudan, the upcoming naval battle between Ottoman and Venice may be delayed.

What kind of changes this will bring is still unclear, but it is clear that if this naval battle really changes, then the Venetians will probably not lose their national strength because they have not encountered the setbacks at sea. It is likely to be more active when it comes to the upcoming land war.

There was a war between Alexandria and Venice because of Pisa, and even when he left Montina, he repeatedly told Aufrei to pay attention to the northeast border with the Venetians, but he also received a A large sum of money was used as military expenses for the expedition. Even with the acquiescence of the Venetian government, he reached certain secret agreements with the Jewish merchants in Venice that were not humane.

So his relationship with Venice is actually very complicated.

So can this complicated relationship develop further today? Although sitting at the negotiating table, Alexander's thoughts have already drifted to Italy.

As for the agreement signed with Ladislas II on the Hungarian copper mine, it was indeed an extraordinary result of Alexander ’s Balkan expedition.

How valuable is the copper mine in Hungary. In the memory of Alexandria, this copper mine was the largest copper mine in Europe before the discovery of the copper mine in Rafkambo Province of Sweden until the 19th century. In addition to copper, it is discovered and excavated from here every year. The value of various precious metal associated mines, including gold and platinum, is as high as nearly 750,000 florins, while the copper mine itself can produce nearly 4.5 million raw ores each year.

All this is now under Alexander.

Alexander was not worried that Ladislas II would tear up the agreement. The army that Hurva left on the border was enough to make the king aware of it. II will have new troubles, and by then he will have no regard for the copper mines in Hungary.

As for Helva, Alexander was actually unaware of the fact that he left an army on the border between the two countries. When the king asked him, Alexander was slightly surprised.

But this made him confirm that he had stayed in Ruluwa? The decision to stay alive was correct. Obviously, Hurva is different from before. It is impossible to restrain him only by the previous alliance, since In this way, find him an opponent.

There was another wild sound of music in the hall. This is the main hall of Bucharest Castle. At this time, the sky was already dim, but the castle was brightly lit, and the stars in the night sky were also dimmed.

People are laughing, dancing and drinking, whether they are aristocrats or civilians. At this time, they disregarded the pretense and enjoyed themselves. Bucharest has really become a happy city tonight.

The Balkans are crazy, and their dancing postures are full of madness. This can even be seen by some noble women lifting their skirts and twisting their waists and constantly dancing wild dance steps.

At this time, Alexander was sitting side by side against the wall with Sophia, watching Sophia happily nodding on her toes, Alexander stood up with a slight smile.

Sophia stood up immediately, and she reached out to accept Alexander's invitation.

But Alexander just bowed his head slightly and said something in her ear.

Sophia was a little puzzled, but he followed him and walked out along the edge of the hall.

When he came to the yard, the music inside was a little quieter. Sophia was about to make an inquiry gesture, but unexpectedly saw the queen in the pavilion not far away.

And from the look of the queen, Sophia saw that she seemed to have been waiting there.

Alexander walked towards the queen, and after bowing and saluting, he gently pulled Sophia in front of the queen.

Sophia looked at the queen a little puzzled and saw the queen looking at the care in her eyes. Sophia couldn't help leaning on her arms gently following the queen's gesture.

"Your Majesty, this conversation between us may be meaningless in the future, but if possible I hope it will eventually become a reality." Alexander said softly.

The queen thought a little and then nodded, her eyes glanced into the castle, and then her expression gradually became calm and indifferent,

"The Earl, you sent someone to invite me, and you have repeatedly proposed to meet alone. In addition, you said that this is related to Sophia. Can you tell me now?" The queen asked.

"Your Majesty, this matter may be a bit ridiculous, but I hope you can understand," Alexander said and looked at the lower abdomen of the Queen. "Excuse me, as far as I know you are pregnant, right?"

Sophia's face was immediately surprised. She reached out and touched the lower abdomen of the queen with some curiosity. Then she seemed to suddenly think of something and opened her mouth, reaching for her finger, but she didn't seem to know how to express it.

"No, Sophia, no," the queen clearly understood Sophia's meaning, her face was slightly red but still a calm explanation "This is the king's, I have been with the king all the time, your father came back I was already pregnant. "

Sophia showed a trace of disappointment. She seemed sorry for not having a half-brother, but she still reached out and touched the queen's belly, and then turned to look at Alexander and smiled.

"So is my pregnancy related to your invitation?" The queen looked at Alexander with a slightly wary look. Of course she knew that her husband had already suffered a great loss in the hands of this young man, and now he suddenly invited himself again It was through Nashan. If it was not for him to repeatedly ensure that the matter was related to Sophia, the queen would not easily agree to meet this time.

"Your Majesty, I hope to negotiate a marriage with you."

Sure enough, Alexander surprised the queen as soon as she spoke.

She instinctively glanced at Sophia and saw that Sophia was also confused, and the queen immediately realized that this should be entirely Alexander's own decision, because with her knowledge of Sophia, Sophia could not perform so realistically.

"Sophia and I will also have children in the future," Alexander looked at this and immediately smiled at Sophia, and then continued, "If you are a girl and Sophia and I will have a boy in the future, I hope to be fortunate to be with you Into this marriage. "

The queen showed a surprised look. She didn't expect such a proposal from the Pressure Mountain Conference.

"But, this is not something I can say ..." The Queen said with some consternation. She seemed to not know how to answer for a while. "It is necessary to know the king's consent, and don't you think it's too early, according to As far as I know, you haven't yet ... "

"This kind of thing can be done at any time," Alexander smiled indifferently. "I just said that if possible, please consider this suggestion. When your daughter chooses a husband, can I consider Sophia's children and me first. "

"Earl I think you are joking, or maybe I was born as a son, and you may be a daughter." The queen, who had been awake from the accident, asked in a mocking tone.

"If that's the case, I can take a loss," Alexander said indifferently. "I can marry my daughter to your son."

"Or are we all boys or girls?" The queen began to think that this was an interesting topic, and she smiled and asked, "It's up to God to know this."

"If that's the case, we can be a great ally," Alexander still said dismissively, but his tone made the queen a little curious, as if he knew what would happen.

Perhaps it was enough joking, or the word "Alliance" was obviously involved. The queen's expression slowly became serious, and she looked at Alexander seriously until she was sure that he was not completely joking. Afterwards, the queen asked cautiously: "Count, do you have any purpose to make this proposal? We should know that our children ’s marriage is not only related to two people, but to two countries, so you should know that this proposal is now made. It makes no sense, because no one can guarantee what will happen in a decade. "

"So I'm just a suggestion," Alexander said after thinking for a while, then lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty, do you think the king's rule over Hungary and even Bohemia was smooth?"

A trace of vigilance flashed through the Queen's eyes, and she even pushed away Sophia snuggled in her arms, sitting slightly straight.

"Count, please pay attention to your words and deeds. You are questioning a king who has one of the most honorable positions in the world."

"Of course your majesty, but I want to say that as a queen with two distinguished crowns, have you considered that you should have a higher standard of treatment than today, we all know that you have asked your mother's family for help, but But it was rejected by King Frederick of Naples, and we know that this is very unpleasant for Bohemia or for you. "

The queen's face suddenly turned red. She didn't expect the Alexander meeting to directly say this very embarrassing thing for her. Speaking of the eyes in Naples, she was exhausted in front of her husband.

"I am willing to provide you with enough help, not only to repay your care for Sophia, but also to strengthen the friendship between us. You know that the king has a deep guard against me, but if he can calm down, he will find out Actually, there is more friendship and mutual help between Wallachia and Hungary. "Alexander said softly. He noticed that the queen was silent although he did not answer, and he continued to say," You are the queen, which gives you The most distinguished position besides the king, so you should also have the same influence and power as this place. "

The Queen ’s look finally changed slightly ~ www.ltnovel.com ~ She looked at Alexander, still looking alert in her eyes and asked: "So do you think I should do something for you with my own influence?"

"At least I asked the king not to listen to me with prejudices," Alexander was not eager to make too many requests, he knew that the queen was obviously very wary of him at this time. "As for a marriage contract I proposed, just like you As said, everything is up to God. "

Until she returned to the room, Sophia had been a little ignorant. She couldn't understand many words of Alexander and the Queen, but she remembered the fact that their children might be married in the future.

So when the two could finally be alone, Sophia immediately gestated and asked: How do you know that our children can get married in the future, if they are really boys or girls as the queen said?

After a lot of effort, Alexander, who finally understood the meaning of Sophia, wanted to tell her "If a boy can be a good friend, if a girl can be a lace," but think about it, although Sophia is almost 16 years old, it's a bit so There was a danger of damaging the child, so he put Sophia down on the bed and gently removed her "arms" while kissing her earlobe and whispered, "Relax, she will definitely give birth to a daughter Yes, as far as we do n’t have to worry, there will always be a son if there are more children. "
