Vol 5 Chapter 23: Caniola 1 family

Grand Duke Carl Canioola bowed and walked, looking down with a letter in his hand.
Beside him, a follower carefully watched him, and the Duke ’s temper became more and more irritable, and more and more unpredictable, especially after the news that the Ottoman army was about to arrive in Bosnia. It is easier to get angry.
"So, our friend is not idle in Bosnia," Karl whispered after reading the letter, and then looked up at the attendant next to him, "Are we all ready?"
The attendant nodded immediately: "Your Highness, our people can start at any time."
"Oh, that's good," Grand Duke Carl looked slightly better, and he looked down at the letter in his hand. "Our friend from Rome seems to have done something in Bosnia recently, but this is obviously not enough, so I He must be urged. "
The servant listened silently. He knew that this was not the time when he should speak. He just had to listen quietly.
Sure enough, the Grand Duke did not pause, and continued to speak for himself: "But there is still something to do before that."
Karl said that he was looking at a house on the other side of the palace, where the two princesses lived, his aunt and fiancee were there, annoying him, it seemed that it became the independent kingdom of the Marchi people.
Including his aunt, Princess Cagnola, the Marchi Dovi occupy the house. Although they did not express it, they refused to enter the Cagnola. They not only protected their princess and prince well, but also There was a vague attempt to confront his grand duke.
"You have to let them know that it is the master of this palace," Grand Duke Carl murmured, and he hurried to his feet at a faster pace, and the entourage behind him could only keep up as soon as possible.
Princess Alexandra Co Caniola was sitting on the chair in the room. Although the chair was not very comfortable to work with, it didn't matter. She was concerned about their situation now.
Although the previous Earl from Rome helped them out of their predicament temporarily, their situation in Caniola has not changed much.
With the departure of the count, although they lived in the house as commanded by the Grand Duke, and were temporarily tranquilized, the princess felt that the situation of these people was still worrying when she thought of facing her nephew in the end.
Prince Gary couldn't count on it. It was a young man who had never experienced anything although he was young. Now, besides the exciting hunting every day, he has almost forgotten what has just happened. At least in his opinion, since Karl has been given Such a big embarrassment, then things will pass.
And her cousin, Princess Marchi Dove, who has the same name as her, is still not a person who can discuss such things, although she can see the situation clearly.
They are too young, and the princess feels that some people are alone now, but there is no way.
Princess Cagnola did not believe that the Grand Duke Carl so easily let go of the embarrassing thing he had done before, although it was not clear what agreement he had reached with the count, but although the count left, the grand duke did not immediately move them This is at least a good thing, but I do n’t know how long this situation will last.
The news of the visit of the Grand Duke made the princess feel a little trembling. While she was instructed to inform the cousin, she sent her hand down to find Prince Gary.
Then she walked out of the gate alone, looking at the Grand Duke who had stood on the second step.
Most of Cagnola's houses are made of stone and wood, even the Grand Duke's palace.
Therefore, the house here is very different from the Italian palace with large and gentle steps. The steps here are narrow and steep, purely for the convenience of going up and down without too much artistry, so it is not suitable for the host to stand on top to greet guests.
If it is a guest, it is even more inappropriate, which will give people a feeling of being unsolicited and aggressive.
Seeing the appearance of Grand Duke Carl, Princess Cañola couldn't help but feel tight, she tried to make her look as calm as possible, she stopped at the end of the first step a few steps away from her nephew, then bowed her head towards Looking down at Carl who was looking up at her with her head up.
Because of his rickets on his back, Karl was originally much shorter than ordinary people, and then standing on the steps below, he could only raise his head as much as possible to meet his aunt.
However, Dagong didn't seem to care about this. There was a smile on his face, so that he could hardly see that they had been struggling hard before.
"Dear aunt, I'm here to tell you what the Earl of Montina is doing recently," Carl carelessly handed the letter to the princess. "My friend in Bosnia has news about him. It seems that he It's very active. "
The princess accepted the letter in a puzzling way, seeing that the expression above could not help changing slightly.
"My dear aunt," the smile on Dagong's face gradually became slightly malicious. "I know that you and your cousin, my respectful future father-in-law, have been colluding with those Bosnians in secret, and Marchi Dovi hopes to pass them. Help to gain independence, and you want your husband to become the leader of Caniola, but I also have friends over there, so you ca n’t hide me from playing those tricks. "
The princess wanted to make herself look calmer as much as possible, but her hands squeezing the stationery betrayed her emotions. The content of the letter made her worried, thinking that her long-term plan might be defeated by the princess.
"Aunt, you probably think that I will never be aware of your supporters in Bosnia, and when you heard that the Earl of Montina entered Bosnia, you thought it was a good opportunity, so you wrote to let those people start In Bosnia, the wind and the rain were stirring, "Karl said, snatching a letter from the princess and reading the content above." Look, less than 4 days after the earl left, the North appeared. There have been several attacks on the Ottomans, the biggest of which is the Roy? Marquis, I do n’t know how you got along with him, but I know that man, he is naive, funny and stupid Bosnian, There are other things, some locals have also started to attack the Ottomans, I think these people must be instigated by some people, which should include the credit of you and my Marchi Dovi father-in-law. "
Carl talked endlessly, seeing the princess's face getting more and more ugly, he simply stepped up a step and forced the princess to back away.
"You are not as kind as you seem, at least not to the Earl of Montina," said the Archduke mercilessly. "When you heard that the Earl was going to Bosnia, you were taking the opportunity to let you The abacus for the friends to act, and once the Ottomans are angry, at least a little attention they will find that a foreign army has entered Bosnia, they will blame all the crimes on the count, but you and your friends The benefits of easy fishing. "
Dagong ’s words made the princess ’s face clear and cloudy, and she wanted to keep herself as calm as possible, but the aggressive Duke did not give her any breathing opportunities.
"Then aunt, why are you doing this, don't tell me that you want to help your poor cousin," Karl said, glancing at the news and coming to the door and looking at their princess Marchi "Let me Think about it, you and your husband are going to be prime ministers of the Principality, and Marchi Dovi hopes that you can hold it in your hands so that when you and the Bosnians collude with each other, you can use Marchi Dovi as a bargain with them. Chips, isn't it? "
Princess Cagnola's face dimmed, and she turned to look at the stunned Princess Marchivi who stood at the door, and then turned back to stare at Carl in front of her.
"You should be happy, because the earl you sent did a good deed for all of us," Princess Caniora's voice was somber. "Those priests, they can just become targets for Sudan's outrage."
"what!"
A scream came from Princess Marchi Dovi's mouth, she looked at the cousin she had always trusted in disbelief.
"Shut up," Princess Cagnola yelled at her cousin aloud, with an unspeakable disgust in her eyes. "Why do you think I should support you traitors, your grandfather was already a traitor when he converted, and I and you Living in a house endures you to follow those ecclesiastical rituals, what do you think it is for? "
"But you said it was to help Marchi Dove to gain independence, but you actually want to exchange Marchi Dovee with others." Princess Marche Dove retorted angrily.
"It's nothing compared to your grandfather. Compared to what he did when he took the Grand Duke throne from our family, I'm already kind enough."
Duke Karl's face was smiling with a malicious smile, and the two women were arguing with each other. He put the letter in his hand, and then said coldly: "Okay, let us calm down now, Do n’t forget that you are in my palace. "
Karl said as he walked between the two women, and rickled into the door.
Behind them, the two women glared at each other, but walked in with Karl.
Carl sat down comfortably, but soon he frowned and moved to move the raised back away from the back of the diaphragm chair.
"Now let ’s talk about the Earl of Montina," the Grand Duke looked at the hostile two women. "You probably already know what I ’m telling the Earl to do. I need someone to help me find the Ottoman temporarily. Trouble, so Sudan can find my importance, so I do n’t want anyone to destroy my good deeds. "
"The Count can't do anything in Bosnia," Princess Canola said disdainfully. "Those Bosniaks are stubborn and stubborn. They won't get along well with a Catholic. The only result he got to Bosnia was to die there. . "
"I don't care about this," Carl shook his head carelessly. "What I care about is what he can do for me. At least now I don't want him to have an accident, so I want you to write to your friends and tell them to converge."
Princess Caniola looked at her nephew somberly, she wondered what would happen if she didn't agree to this request.
Seemingly aware of the princess's thoughts, Carl said coldly: "If you refuse, I will write to the Ottomans about what you and your husband did. I believe that the Ottomans will be very interested in you little tricks."
Princess Caniola showed a stunned look. She didn't expect Carl to be so despicable. She actually threatened her with an Ottoman whistleblower.
"Caniola's ancestors will be ashamed of you for this behavior." The princess said angrily, but she did not insist on refusing.
Grand Duke Carl said with a lip: "If Kaniola perishes in my hands, it is the humiliation of my ancestors, but this has nothing to do with you dear aunt, you should think more How to dissuade your overly excited Bosnian friends. "
"So what about you, the Earl of Montina is not the Bosnia you were instigated to go to, what do you think the Sudan would think of this news?"
Hearing the question from Princess Cagnola, Carl didn't show any consternation. He slowly took out another letter from his pocket.
"I wrote this to the Governor of Bosnia, but you can take a look first, my dear aunt."
Princess Cagnola took the letter with some doubt, but after looking at the first few sentences, her face was stunned.
"You actually revealed the whereabouts of the count to the Governor of the Ottomans?"
"Just tell him that a foreigner entered the Bosnia with an army. Do n’t you tell you the Bosnian friends this way? The difference between us is only the object of the whistleblower, but because of this difference, you have to follow me Say it, dear aunt. "
The princess stared at Grand Duke Carl with a stunned look. Before using Alexander's power to frustrate the joy brought by Carl, all of a sudden it disappeared.
Now Princess Cagnola suddenly discovered that she had no chance of rebelling at all, except to follow what Karl said.
"As for Marchi Dovi, I think your husband and wife should not be delusional, but I can consider another way to compensate you," Karl looked at Princess Marzi Dovi next to you. "Your husband can get the title of Regent Duke, but you It must be ensured that from now on it will absolutely not interfere with any affairs of Marchi Multidimensional. "
There was a flash of light in Princess Caniola's eyes, and she looked at Carl with some hope, as if to investigate whether his words were true or false.
Princess Marchi Duvet looked at the bargaining two people with a dull face. She felt that her country was like a piece of fat ready to be cut at any time, waiting for others to enjoy it.
"I can consider your suggestion," Princess Cañola nodded to her nephew. "But I can only promise to give up intervening in Marchivi. As for the Bosnians, you should also know that we have not been able to influence them. Feel free to direct them to the point. "
Carl cursed secretly. He knew that Princess Cagnola was not a liar. Like his relationship with Ivo Drana, he did not believe that the couple of Princess Cagnola could be like Roy? Such Bosnian nobility had a decisive influence.
But this is a bit bad for Karl.
Grand Duke Carl had great hopes for Alexander. In addition to counting on Alexander to hold the Ottomans for him in Bosnia, he also hoped that this would make Sudan realize that maintaining his army was important to the Ottomans.
Princess Cagnola previously revealed to the Bosnians that Alexander ’s news would undoubtedly arouse the Bosnians ’enthusiasm to resist the Ottoman Empire, which seemed to suit his heart, but Karl knew that the result of doing so might also be completely irritated Ottomans.
He only hoped that the Montina army of Alexandria would cause some trouble to the Ottomans, and then he took the opportunity to help the Ottomans encircle and suppress Alexander, so as to show his importance as the ruler of the Principality of Canola, but if the entire North Bosnia There was a rebellion, especially if all the nobles were involved, the result is likely to cause the Ottomans to completely lose trust in the local nobility.
In that case, when the Ottomans arrived in Caniola, what was waiting for him might be the destiny of being deposed.
"Dear aunt, I have to admit that you caused me a lot of trouble, so before things get worse, find a way to make up, or I will tell the Ottomans what you did."
Carl gritted his teeth and urged him, and then he couldn't help looking in Bosnia's direction.
"Count, you must withstand ..." The Grand Duke secretly wished secretly.
The Nausava River simply divided Bosnia into north and south. In addition to the results caused by the arrival of the Ottomans, in history Bosnia also because the river once appeared two different kingdoms.
Northern Bosnia once ruled the territory including the north and most of Croatia, and after a while, the kingdom of northern Bosnia expanded southward, eventually unifying the entire Bosnia and almost all of Croatia.
So after the arrival of the Ottomans, with the demise of the Kingdom of Bosnia, Croatia, which had previously been ruled by the Bosniaks, became a land of no ownership.
There are many nobles here, like a birch forest full of mountains. There are often a lot of nobles with different surnames in a small place. Although most of these people are not of high background, they are still real. noble.
The reason why this situation appears is related to Croatia's past. ~ Www.EbookFREE.me ~ Unlike Bosnia or Cagnola, Croatians believe in Roman Catholicism.
It was the uncle Sistine IV of the old Rovere who led the Croats to convert.
This is probably one of Sistine IV ’s most proud feats. When he heard that the Ottomans had destroyed the Kingdom of Bosnia, he made a bold move and sent a bishop to persuade the Croats to convert to another. .
No one thought that his seemingly adventurous move actually succeeded.
Just to allow the Croats to convert their letters, Sistine IV promised to the locals and even announced that they would recognize the noble status of those people as long as they were willing to convert to the Vatican.
The result of this promise is that Croatia has successfully converted to the Vatican, and there are many fresh nobles out there.
And now there is a team of nobles who are leading the donkey and driving the cattle through a birch forest. In their car, they are full of ore.
