The long bell echoed over the bell tower of the Hilada Tower of the cathedral. When they heard the bell, people stopped and looked at the direction of the bell tower in confusion. At this time, the bell should not be knocked. The bell came so abruptly. , So many people can't help but be surprised.
Shear's eyes stared sharply around him. He felt very nervous. The neighborhood near the cathedral looked calm. There was nothing unusual except for the crowds who stopped to watch, but this was enough to worry Shire. As the bell continued to ring, , His heart also beating with increasing tension.
Several people who hurried towards the bell tower attracted Sher's attention. He noticed that it was the priest in the church. Apparently, the sudden ringing of the bell attracted these people.
Schell immediately made a gesture to his surroundings. These following guards were good hands at using melee weapons such as daggers and daggers, and most of them have gradually become Alexander ’s reserve teams on the battlefield. Compared with the army of hunting guards, these talents are the guards around him who are more suitable for personal protection.
As the priests entered the bell tower, the hunting guards hidden in the crowd approached the entrance of the bell tower, and to Shell's surprise, the bells in the bell tower did not stop because of the entry of those priests.
"Maybe the master is above the clock tower, they haven't seen him yet." Schell thought so, he pushed away the few people passing by, his eyes fixed on the entrance of the clock tower, and at the same time, he gestured secretly to the hand that had already surrounded him. Command
"Go in."
Finally, with a low order from Schell, several hunting guards outside the clock tower swiftly pushed open the half-covered wooden door, and then shook them in.
The moment Shir entered the clock tower, he couldn't help but stopped because of a dark body in front of him, but he quickly adapted to it, and he didn't see the priests in the clock tower, which made him nervous and listened to the top of the tower. The bell ringing slowly, he immediately led his men to circle up the wooden stairs.
When he finally rushed to the top of the tower, he saw a back figure wearing a priest's black robe pulling the rope and banging on the big clock.
Sier stopped, then finally walked up and pressed his hand on the man ’s shoulder. The man stopped, and in the still reverberating bell, he slowly turned around, revealing an ordinary look A strange face.
"Where is the person?" Schell asked angrily, although he didn't say the name but he knew that the person should know who he was talking about.
The man dressed by the priest shook his head first, and then after Schell put the dagger under his throat, the man opened his mouth.
It was a mouth with his tongue cut off. Looking at his empty mouth, Schell couldn't help but stunned.
There were reverberating sounds all around. Alexander was able to hear the sound of water and echoes from stepping on the ground. He could be sure that he was near the river.
There was an unpleasant smell in the air, like the garbage alleys of McGrin Lowlands, but obviously this is not the place, because he didn't hear the streets of McGrin Lowlands except for a little sound around him. The kind of noisy and messy.
Then someone helped him to board a carriage, and as the carriage wobbled, Alexander closed his eyes and stopped thinking so much.
It was an adventurous move to send a signal to meet Don Bavi at the Bell Tower of Hilada. After discovering the secret of Don Bavi in the Virgin Convent, Alexander knew that this person ’s ambition was not small, and now he is more Surely Don Bavi seems to be more than just keeping his status.
Alexander did not expect that there would be a secret passage beneath the bell tower of Hilada, so when the priests came in, one of them continued to ring the bell instead of him, and the other few put on a cape for him, and then put him into the secret At the time of the talk, Alexander had actually heard the sound of Shell outside leading the bell tower.
Of course, he had the urge to shout, but in the end he still could bear it. Don Bavey led him here at such a great expense that he would n’t just want to murder him, otherwise he could prevent him from going. There was no need to leave a note to meet the twin sister of Mary.
The carriage has been running on the road, and gradually Alexander smelled a breath of fresh air, which was unscentable in the city of dirty feces and garbage everywhere.
Is this outside the city?
Alexander pondered, but soon he rejected this idea, because he could feel that the carriage was not very shaken. In his impression, there is no place in the world where the road will be built outside the city, even in Romagna. In Tuscany, he has only constructed a dirt road between several cities that can be used smoothly. It is already a feat.
The carriage stopped slowly. Someone got off the arm with Alexander's arm. A cool cold wind blew, and Alexander could feel that the cold wind was slightly different from the cold wind in winter, from which the obvious wetness could be felt. gas.
Stepped on the steps, climbed up one level, and turned a corner.
Finally, the man with arms on both sides let go, and then someone carefully took off the black hood on his head.
A cold wind greeted us, and the dazzling sunlight caused Alexander to narrow his eyes slightly before opening slowly.
He noticed that he was standing on a high city wall. Not far below the city wall was a large river, and a very wide stone bridge connected the river. From a distance, he could see more than half of Seville city.
"Duke, do you know where you are?"
Listening to the voice of Don Bavi coming from behind, Alexander did not look back immediately, but continued to look down. His eyes looked down the river to the downstream of the river and saw an obvious river in the distance. After the bay, Alexander nodded.
"Is this a castle on the other side of the Gwadar?"
"Yes, the castle built by Philip II used to be the early royal palace of Castile, but later it was only used to defend the city," Don Bavey let people push himself to Alexandria and Look at the endless commercial ships on the river below. "There is the largest inland port in Castile. There are too many goods to be transported from here to Seville every day. It also provides many people with work. Opportunity, know that half of the city in southern Castilla is counting on the port of Seville. "
Alexander nodded slowly. He knew that Don Bavi said it well. Sevilla did play a vital role in the southern part of the Iberian Peninsula as he said, and the duke certainly did not know it. With the development of Spanish overseas colonies, Seville will become the largest inland port of this colonial empire, and various commodities from the New World will continue to enter the mainland of Spain through here.
"Duke, did you see that ...?" Don Bavi deliberately omitted the name. He turned his head up and looked at Alexander's profile. "How do you feel?"
"very beautiful."
Hearing Alexander ’s answer, Don Bavey was slightly surprised and slightly stunned, and then chuckled:
It ’s really beautiful, if I was a few decades younger, she might be fascinated by her.
"But you sent her into the monastery in the end." Alexander glanced at Don Bavi. "I think you must have prepared for this for a long time. It didn't have anything to do with me, but now I think I have the right to know What are you going to do. "
"Yeah, what to do," Don Bavi nodded, and he put his fingers to the distant city of Seville. "There was a clown sent by Isabella. He hid all day. In his palace, he planned those inhuman activities, but we have to admit that his activities were very successful. Now, many nobles have to succumb to him, and then he stares at me. "
"It should have been earlier when you closed the girl to the nun," Alexander did not want to give Don Bavi an excuse for himself. What he needs now is to know the real purpose of Don Bavi "Tell me that the Duke is right what would you like?"
Don Bavey was silent, he seemed to be thinking about how to bargain, and then he waved his hand to let the entourage behind him push him back:
Duke let ’s go in, it ’s a bit too cold here.
In the old Royal Palace Castle, which echoed with the city of Seville across the Gwadar River, a team of soldiers toured back and forth. Surprisingly, Don Bavi was like no one here, and no one treated him. Was surprised when they walked into the warm hall and looked at a few officers who were eating and drinking around the table, Don Bavi waved to them, and then motioned to Alexander and Sitting on the other corner of the hall.
"The Duke seems to be very proud of you here." Alexander pointedly pointed out.
"It should be said that many people miss the good days of the past," Don Bavey disregarded the implicit irony of Alexander. "In the past, everyone lived a happy life in their own territory. When the king's order came, they took up their weapons. On horseback to the battlefield, the dead will be inherited by their sons and daughters, and those who come back will bring honor and loot, but now it is different. Who are we fighting for? "
Looking at Don Bavi's slightly excited look, Alexander nodded silently. If Don Bavi chose Isabella for the family's glorious opportunity, now he chose to betray Isabella for the family.
"That Caroline is too greedy, he shouldn't provoke me," Don Bavey's thin hand thumped the wheelchair armrest. Although his appearance seemed to be weak because of his age, the look on his face was There was a hint of perplexity. "He was too arrogant and wanted to bring me down. I knew this was the task that Isabella had arranged for him, but it would be wrong if they thought I was so good."
Alexander looked at the duke's shrivelled face and whispered: "So you prepared for this many years ago?"
Hearing Alexander's question, Don Bavey's emotions seemed to have gradually eased. He asked in a tone that seemed to recall the past: "Duke, do you believe that someone is a natural monarch, I mean that kind of you I knew at a glance that this person would wear a crown in the future, even if she was under house arrest by his half-brother at that time, even without freedom, but when you see her, she still believes that she will become an amazing future. monarch?"
Alexander did not answer. He knew that Don Bavi was talking about Isabella. Although he still had n’t seen Isabella until now, he did n’t think that Don Bavi was deliberately exaggerating. He also knew Don · Bavi asks this question and doesn't really want to get an answer from him.
Sure enough, Tang Bawei continued to say: "Since then I knew she was a great princess, she was much better than her stupid brother, but this is what worried me. At that time, she knew that her ambitions were great, not just the crown. She wanted to rule a Castile who truly ruled her. Even when she was under house arrest by Enrique, she had vowed. If she were to become a queen, she would never allow the threat of kingship to appear again. "
"But even if you chose her?" Alexander asked a little confused. "Why, don't you know if she becomes a queen, what will happen next?"
"I chose this for my family and for Castile at that time," Don Bavey said, and then said "now too."
Alexander smiled softly. He felt that it was almost time to talk about the topic: "Tell me that, girl."
The name of Alexander made Don Bavi's shriveled lips pick up: "I think you already know who she is, Maria's twin sister, I don't know whether she is a sister or a sister, but it really doesn't matter. The key She was the daughter of the couple. They were terrified when she was born. The woman who gave birth to her was stunned and fainted. They thought she was a curse. It is said that Ferdinand should kill immediately after knowing. Drop her. "
"But she survived."
"Yes ~ EbookFREE.me ~ They did n’t kill her in the end, but announced that Maria ’s twin sister had died as soon as she was born, and then they found a couple who thought they were the most reliable and gave them a sum. Money told them to take the child away, and they would never see that child again in their lifetime. "
Alexander listened quietly, even though he had actually guessed on the road, it could be said by Don Bavi but it was another feeling.
"Then she fell into your hands?"
"How easy is it to know that I have made a lot of preparations over the years," Don Bavi disliked Alexander's sarcasm. "But when I saw her, I was really surprised. At that time she was very small, but Looking at her exactly the same appearance as Maria and her skin, I knew that this girl could not appear in front of people's eyes, so I immediately sent her to the convent, and now I think she should be allowed to Church services, but mine is not the church of Castile, but the Vatican. "
Alexander pondered a little, he was thinking about Don Bavi.
Then he asked: "So what do you think the Duke should serve the Vatican, is Sister Alfred, or what?"
"It depends on what we all want, of course, if everything goes well, I am not opposed to letting her stand out as a member of the Astamala family." As he said, Don Bavi looked at Alexandria with a meaning A long smile, "Duke, as you said, is she beautiful?"
