Vol 6 Chapter 173: Sophia's anger

A team of 14 cavalrymen marching slowly on the street. The flags of these 14 cavalrymen are the 14 most prominent families in the history of the Wallachia. These families continue from the original tribe. The tradition of tribal peoples retained in the early years of Wallachia. This tradition gradually evolved from tribes to nobles obedient to the Grand Duke. Over time, many tribes disappeared completely or were annexed by more powerful tribes. Only a few tribes It gradually became stronger and became the ancestor of the 14 great nobles who laid the present principality of Wallachia.
It is just that some of these flags now only represent the glory of the past. These nobles in the early years also gradually disappeared with the passage of time. The Balkans never ceased the war to make some families rise, and some families disappeared.
The noble forces of Wallachia are still very strong today, but perhaps thanks to the appearance of the Ottomans, the nobles who were originally in a tangled relationship with the Ottomans were also consumed and depleted in the previous decades of war. Some families have only the banner that makes people think about the glory of that year.
From this point of view, Alexander feels that the Ottomans have also done a good deed, just like the Hundred Years War gave the French royal family weakened the princes and nobles, and got rid of the embarrassment of the king ’s destiny not to leave the island of Paris. The arrival of was very hard hit.
Behind the banner team is a long line of priests. These orthodox priests in top hats are all covered in black robes. They look solemn and solemn. When they pass the street, the people on both sides of the road bend over to salute involuntarily. Crossed.
The baptism was personally presided over by the Patriarch of Bucharest. Before that, the patriarch had privately asked Alexander about his eldest daughter, who was the prince of Pisa Esteles, and when he heard that the baptist was one of the Vatican After the Cardinal, the Patriarch decided to preside over the ceremony by himself and not by others.
For the city of Bucharest, Auguste and Catherine are more than just princes and princesses, because the special status of the Bucharest parish is already pursuing the head of the Bucharest patriarch who wants to become the highest parish of the East. Relationship establishes its position.
And the Patriarch has a strong hunch, it seems that Alexander ’s ambition is not just to make his woman become the Grand Duke of Wallachia, if that is the case, one day maybe with the powerful power of the church and the world, he will become the highest The Patriarch is not just dreaming.
So for the baptism, the priest himself showed enthusiasm that Alexandria seemed to be a little higher.
The nobles, the knights, and some squires who followed were passing by. These people wore their best clothes and walked in the ranks with their heads struggling.
Unlike other people who came to observe the ceremony, these people are directly under the Sophia territory, which is naturally a trusted cron in front of the Grand Duke, and even some small landlords in the village can also appear in this team, because these villages All are in Sophia's personal name, and it can be said that this is a typical "own person".
This makes these nobles, knights, and landlords very excited. They can feel the envy and even jealousy when people look at them, because they do n’t know when to start. There is a rumor in Wallachia that the prince and the The princess' father saved a lot of amazing wealth for his children, in order to let his children worry about food and clothing in the future.
Of course, the money belongs to the private property of the Grand Duke and does not belong to the treasury. This means that as the direct territory of the Grand Duke, it is possible to benefit from this money, and no one can tell how much the amount of this money is.
But one thing is certain, the Grand Duke family can even live comfortably without relying on taxes.
This makes many people listen to envy, but they do not envy the Duke's family, but those who belong to the territory under the name of the Duke, because when they want to come, the Duke should only let his own land make money.
A group of eye-catching hunting guards appeared, which caused a commotion among the people in the street. These were dressed in gray military uniforms and wore soft biased caps. The hat was inlaid with a long pheasant feathers. Balkan hunting The guards have become the focus of attention of the Bucharest people. Compared with the noble knights in the previous territory, the clothing of these hunting guards is not gorgeous enough, but in this era when most of the army has almost no uniform uniform clothing, the gray uniforms of the Balkan hunting guards It looks striking and chic again.
Alexander did not lead the Agri hunting guards this time. He was keenly aware of the complex feelings of the Wallachia towards him. On the one hand, he was the hero who saved Bucharest, and he was the father of the granddaughter ’s children, which was enough for them He has a good opinion of his heart, but on the other hand he is a Catholic, but this is a different place where Orthodox dominates, even in Croatia, which is also a Balkan country, because of the fierce brewing due to the contradiction between East and West churches The clashes continued, and the Duke of Zagreb, the father of Hurva, died.
What's more, he was a foreigner. Alexander knew the Balkans' strong family values ​​and xenophobia. In this respect, they were very similar to the Sicilians. This xenophobia made them value the closeness of their family and blood, and sometimes they would rather Abandonment of interests, this seemingly impulsive behavior is particularly strong among the people, so after fully considering these reasons, Alexander decided to only lead Balkan hunting guards to participate in this ceremony.
This decision was obviously very correct. Seeing those who were dressed in a typical local style of curly beards, but dressed neatly and decently than some nobles, the people on the street cheered instantly, and some women even kept Screaming, and threw flowers, handkerchiefs, puppets, and dried loofah, which foreshadowed goodwill locally, to these beautiful soldiers.
Sher was staring straight ahead at the sight. He was different from other hunting guards. His gray costume had a long golden ribbon, and his soft hat had three tufts of feathers, which made him look like To be more majestic and more conspicuous than other soldiers.
Therefore, Xieer was the most "attacked". When the team finally passed the squeezed street, Xieer was already covered with various gadgets.
The team continued to move forward, and Alexander in the carriage looked at the scene with satisfaction. Opposite him, Sophia was holding Catherine, looking left and right, putting her daughter down, and then picking up her son. 'S frown placed the child in another cradle beside him.
"They are too young to grow up so quickly," Alexander knew what Sophia was abandoning. "And I don't want them to grow up so quickly."
Whether it is Estrelice, Auguste, or Catherine, Alexander hopes that their children can have a happy childhood and childhood, and hopes that they can enjoy more carefree times rather than early. Understand and participate in those who are sloppy.
So he has to do more for the children in advance so that they will not face all kinds of difficulties in the future.
However, Alexander did not want to train his children into a group of unworldly princes and princesses who would only hide in the castle all day long. He hoped that they would have the eyes and mind to observe the world carefully, because the next hundred years may It can be said to be the beginning of the most exciting era in human history.
Bucharest Cathedral has been decorated, and when the team passed under the flower gates, people on the roadside cheered.
Bucharest people are very proud, because they already know that their city is destined to become the new capital of the Principality. In fact, this is actually what many nobles want to see. In addition to the comfort and solid defense of Bucharest city, there is another very important reason. The Wallachia decided to acquiesce with Sophia's almost willful move.
That is that Wallachia was too deeply influenced by the Transylvanian nobility, and Transylvania and Hungary had various unclear relations before Vlad III.
Migration is already imperative, as can be seen from the old ones who have not been to Wallachia even after Sophia ascended the throne.
The team stopped in front of the cathedral, and the guards opened the way. Alexander and Sophia, with a child, walked along the sheepskin blankets spread on the ground to the cathedral's towering porch.
The patriarch wearing the top hat is also standing under the porch, his spirit looks much better than before, even if you get closer, you can see the slightly tired eyes under his slightly puffy eyelids, but He still supported his body with a big cross to make him look straight.
Sophia bowed to the priest according to the previous arrangement. According to the orthodox teachings, this was also one of the few grand ceremonies that the secular monarch gave to the head of the church in the world.
Your own baptism, your own marriage, your child's baptism, and dying confession. This is the respect and etiquette that the monarch should maintain for the church. In addition, even if the monarch is crowned, he will only pick it up by himself. The laurel wreath is not crowned by the patriarch.
The monarch wears a crown and does not fake others!
Although East Rome has perished, this tradition has been deeply imprinted in the hearts of Roman successors.
The Patriarch was thrilled. He knew how much Sophia's salute meant to him, and then his eyes turned to Alexander next to him.
"This day is destined to be a glorious day," the Patriarch whispered. "I have to admit that you must have thought a lot when you named your son, Auguste, what a great name this is. I only hope that one day To see your wish come true as soon as possible. "
Alexander chuckled and responded. He did not want to explain to the Patriarch why he named his son Auguste. He hoped that he would be as comfortable and smooth as another monarch of the same name in history.
As for Catherine, Alexander named her because he wanted his daughter to have a beautiful family and a happy marriage in the future, just like the famous Queen Catherine.
Of course, Alexander will not explain this idea, which is not just a patriarch, but other people will not understand it at this time, so he just smiled and said nothing.
A long, long chant came from the cathedral, and a choir composed of children ’s choirs that made mistakes for bishops and priests instead of the Catholics began to sing hymns with a broad voice.
The melody is long and deep, and the singing voice from behind the curtain hanging from the dome echoes and circulates over the deep cathedral.
In this sacred atmosphere, even Sophia couldn't help but appear more solemn.
Everyone's eyes are on them, and those eyes have various meanings. Among them, A Luoxia's eyes are very complicated, and hesitation and anxiety alternate in her eyes, so that the next Omo also noticed her strangeness. .
Aloxia's eyes kept searching in the crowd. She didn't know what Moore was going to do. Although Moore assured her that she would not do stupid things, she always felt that his words were unreliable.
It's just that now Aloxia has no escape route. If someone knows that she met Moore but not only did not inform him, but also helped him get into the city, she would be too late.
What's worse, she doesn't know what she thinks about Morco or Omo, which makes A Luoxia very worried and scared. She feels like she is entangled by the devil. At night she kept praying, hoping to get rid of this uneasiness.
The chorus was louder, and even the veil seemed to be shaken slightly by the sound waves. Auguste's eyes held by Alexander in his arms became busy. He tried hard to twist his lower head, but it was completely useless. His body just moved.
At this moment, the patriarch began to chant the scriptures in a deep tone that did not match his thin body.
Slices of green smoke rose from the silverware filled with anointing oil, while the patriarch held a large woodcut cover Bible high above his head.
The heavy Bible is as full of oppression as a heavy stone suspended above the head, and the Patriarch also looks extremely solemn at this time.
When the Patriarch motioned for Alexander to put August into the marble baptistery filled with water, Sophia stood a little nervous, watching her son's body slowly immersed in the pool, she couldn't help holding her daughter's hand Slightly hard, this caused Catherine in her arms to twist her body immediately because of discomfort, and then she burst into tears.
The cry immediately affected Auguste in the holy water, but it seemed that because he was very comfortable and did not show anxiety August, the originally quiet brother also immediately joined the crying ranks, so the two loudly crying The sound rang through the cathedral instantly.
Seeing Sophia's posture to rush up to recapture her child, Alexander had to take his son out of the water, holding Augusta, which was flowing through the water, and on the side of Alexander, the nanny had already prepared He wiped, and gestured to Sophia.
Sophia was hesitant and looked at her crying daughter. She did n’t care about her suddenly, and she felt uncomfortable. She worried that the old man would accidentally choke water into her daughter ’s mouth or hurt her delicate skin.
However, under the urging of Alexander's eyes, she still walked past Catherine. When she couldn't put the crying daughter into the water, her eyes suddenly flashed a slight light.
The inherited inheritance inherited from Nashan played a role at this moment, almost thinking or not, Sophia holding her daughter suddenly slammed into the marble holy pool in front of her!
The pool was rolling, and the marble pillars supporting the basin-shaped baptistery smashed towards the patriarch standing opposite. With a cry of pain, the patriarch hit by the stone pillar fell backwards.
Just before everyone understood what was happening, a dull loud sound rang in the cathedral, accompanied by a smoke rising near the baptistery, and the cathedral was suddenly in chaos.
People run wildly, women's screams and men's cry are mixed, no one can hear others' words.
Sher, who was standing a little further away, was the first to react. He pulled out his saber and sprinted forward.
At the same time, the hunting guards standing around also began to come from all directions, they slammed against the people in front of them, and some simply jumped over the people who fell to the ground.
They have only one purpose, to protect the Duke's family.
Shear slammed a woman in front of her with a shoulder, and rushed to Sophia, who fell to the ground with too much force, and dragged her. At the same time, he heard Alexander's cry not far away: "Grab that people!"
The shouts of Alexander caught the attention of the hunting guards. They saw the Duke holding Auguste in one hand and pointed at the messy, overwhelming chanting group behind the curtain.
Several close hunting guards immediately rushed to the terrified priests like crazy. They simply ignored the priests' distinctions, and some wielded sabers and chopped directly at the people who tried to resist, even if there was no The resistance was also hit with a heavy knife handle, and they screamed and fell to the ground.
Among these chaotic priests, a priest standing not far from a small door behind him was rushing out of the door desperately, and the hunting guards could only watch because they were blocked by the priests of the singing class He escaped from his eyes.
Looking at the man's back, Sophia raised her arm habitually, but immediately realized that the short crossbow was not by her side. In her unwilling shout, the figure of the man had disappeared outside the door.
All this happened so suddenly, until that person's figure disappeared, a lot of panicked people finally understood what happened.
Sher had already chased the little door where the man had fled, and the surrounding hunting guards had quickly surrounded Alexander and Sophia, all their weapons were facing outward, even the Greeks. They were hurried away rudely.
People looked at each other in horror. When they found that the surroundings had been surrounded by hunting guards, the look of some Wallachia nobility changed suddenly. Some people tried to touch the weapon impulsively, but were immediately stopped by the companions around them. Staring at them, these Wallachians sat down slowly under the comfort of their companions, while they watched alertly around the stalwart hunting guards.
The accident in the cathedral has clearly spread outside, and a chaotic sound rang outside the church for a while.
"Go outside," Alexander gently coaxed the frightened son, while commanding the people around him, "Everyone went outside."
Said he handed Auguste to the pale-faced nanny and walked through the hunting guards to the priest who was sitting on the ground half-braced by several people.
The pastor looked a bit bad. The stone pillar of the baptistery hit his ribs. At this time, his face was covered with sweat and his body was trembling.
"Can you move now?" Alexander whispered, seeing what the parish chief seemed to want to say, he crouched down and whispered, "You know that if we don't go out at this time, it will cause people's suspicion, if someone takes the opportunity Spreading rumors, maybe another Cepes incident will happen again. "
The Patriarch ’s face did not know whether it was pain or because Alexander ’s words twitched instantly. He knew that Alexander was reminding him that he was also one of those who had declared Zepez ’s guilt. At this time, his only option was to stand with Alexander. Appease the people.
"I hope this accident will not make you think that the Wallachia is hostile to you or His Highness Sophia. I can guarantee that this is just a small group of conspirators." The Patriarch waited for the pain and waited for Alexander's reply. He was really worried about the Alexander Conference taking the opportunity to conduct a bloodbath on the Wallachia nobles.
After all, the cruel rule of Vlad III was still vivid. As long as the Wallachia might face that terrible situation again, the Patriarch felt shudder.
"You can rest assured that Sophia is not Vlad III, nor am I Nero," Alexander whispered, and then he signaled to the people next to them that they would carefully support the Patriarch. "For a while, believe me. It will pass soon. "
After speaking, Alexander went to those nobles, watching their uneasy expression. Alexander nodded to the Greeks headed by Bodped: "Follow me, everything will follow my orders."
Bode Peide nodded and agreed only after a pause, and he whispered to others to be careful.
"As for you," Alexander looked at the Wallachia nobles with uncertain looks. "Until the conspirators were caught and confessed ~ EbookFREE.me ~ I will not treat any of you as my enemy, so I want you to go out with me to appease the people unless someone wants to refuse. "
The words of Alexander made the Wallachia look at each other. They saw suspicion and suspicion in the eyes of each other. At this time, everyone seemed to be a suspect who might have planned and participated in this sudden conspiracy.
"Then let's go." Alexander walked to Sophia and looked at the pair of children who finally stopped crying. He smiled at Sophia, "Trust me, there will be nothing wrong with me."
Sophia looked at Alexander with a dull complexion, and everyone saw that she was in a bad mood. Just when Alexander wanted to say something, Sophia suddenly grabbed Auguste from the nanny and held two children open to her. Walked to the door of the cathedral.
The hunting guards and the Greek guards who were guards swarmed ahead to open the way. When they walked under the porch, listening to the shouting of the moment when they saw her figure, Sophia stopped and turned to look at Alexander, and then She suddenly made a move that surprised everyone.
Sofia hugged the two children with her left hand, and swept her throat with her free hand to signal her throat cut!
Looking at her expressionless expression, Alexander knew that Sophia was really angry.
