Vol 7 Chapter 187: European situation

In the castle of Saint John, under the porch pierced with countless flowers, two copper doors that were wiped with a glimmer of light slowly opened.
The fine relief on the semi-circular arch first cracked a thin slit from the middle, and then the thin slit gradually expanded. The copper door slowly receded into the porch, and a not-so-deep corridor gradually appeared.
Alexander had seen this porch, but at that time he just stood with many Portuguese nobles and watched Manuel and Maria walk under the bronze gate.
The copper doors of Saint John's Castle are not easily opened at ordinary times. Except for various major ceremonies and welcoming important figures, these two copper doors are usually tightly closed.
Now they are opened in front of Alexander.
Alexander stood alone under the door. To his surprise, Juana gave him this honor.
Along the way they entered the city in a carriage. Although it was already night, it was surprisingly lively in the city of Lisbon.
The entire street from Cape Arlabura to St. John ’s Castle is bright, and the street lights hanging on the lampposts that smell of freshly cut wood illuminate the entire street and gather in the street. The Lisbonns on both sides walked the streets for the first time on such a bright night.
Knowing that this was to greet the prince, who was said to be from Castile, Lisbon people couldn't help but be full of curiosity.
At the same time, when it was known that this was the first time the new queen appeared in public, the Lisbon people were even more inexplicable.
In the carriage, Juana couldn't wait to wave to the people on the street. Although she has lived in this city for many years, today is her first time as the hostess of this city and this country. Face the Portuguese.
"It's all brought by you," Juana couldn't help saying when she finally sat back in her seat and looked excitedly at the opposite Alexander, "I thought I might have been put under house arrest for a lifetime, but I didn't expect Your presence changed my destiny. "
Listening to this, Alexander looked calm.
He and Juana are very clear that there are too many suspicious points about his identity. These suspicious places are too much for her to dare to investigate, but it is because of the various doubts about his identity that he is more It needs to be recognized by Juana.
Similarly, such recognition is also what Juana needs. As Isabela believes that she is a loser who contends with the illegitimate child and the throne for the war, he not only lost the competition for the Castile throne Qualifications have also lost the only freedom left.
Now a new opportunity appeared in front of her, to support a "half brother" who might have an unknown origin but could make her a queen of the vineyard, or just give up this now rare opportunity and be a prisoner forever For the rest of his life in the monastery, as a person with normal thinking, Juana made the most reasonable choice.
Is it important that the young man in front is the son of her father Enrique?
Is it even important that she herself is the daughter of Enrique IV?
Juana only knows that she has now become a queen of Portugal from a prisoner under house arrest. She even personally signed the order to expel Mary, which was absolutely unthinkable two years ago.
This is enough.
In order to be able to regain her freedom, she once vowed to pay everything, and now she only needs to walk into the castle of Saint John with this young man, and everything she desires and dreams will be within her reach.
"My brother, you are given to me by God, so we should love each other. I believe this is also our father's wish."
Juana leaned forward to gently hold Alexander's face and kissed him on the forehead.
The kiss was calm and slightly cold, without excitement, let alone affection.
But looking at Juana's unimpressed eyes, Alexander smiled.
A transaction that would never be known to outsiders was concluded in a traveling carriage. Although this transaction did not have any written agreement to bind both parties, they all knew that this agreement was that both parties would do their best to protect and comply. Because it is the basis for proving their identity in this world.
The bronze door opened slowly, and Alexander's thoughts were pulled back. He saw Manuel standing behind the door slightly unexpectedly.
Without waiting for the door to open completely, Manuel had strode out of the castle.
In the eyes of countless people, the Portuguese king walked to the "Prince Joel Modillo Astamara" standing under the gate of the castle. After a pause, Manuel opened his arms and embraced tightly. My little uncle.
"Welcome back, Duke," Manuel said first, and then he looked carefully at Alexander with a slightly emotional tone. "I never thought you would come to Lisbon again in this capacity. I know you are here. Seeking help, and I am willing to help you fulfill your wishes. "
Alexander shook his head gently and said in a calm but unusually positive tone: "Your Majesty, I think you are wrong, it is to realize the wishes of all of us, and I promise you that you will get more than you think."
Manuel was slightly silent, and he saw uncompromising firmness in Alexander's eyes, which made him realize that the young man in front of him was obviously not eager to beg him for the throne as he thought.
"We will be very good partners," Manuel finally said. He reached out to Juana who was standing behind, and after letting her stand side by side with him, he sent an invitation to Alexander as a master. Come in, His Royal Highness, the Castle of Saint John welcomes you. "
The trumpet sounded loudly, and there was a rush of drums violently blasting from inside the castle gate.
The magnificent rug spreads from the porch to the palace in the distance. On both sides of the rug stood two rows of knights in armor and swords.
A group of Portuguese nobles had stood at the end of the carpet, looking at the young man who came with the king's husband and wife. Many people had different looks on their faces.
The illegitimate son of Enrique IV?
A competitor who can challenge the Castile throne?
Everyone's eyes gathered on him, and everyone was wondering why this young man dared to challenge the Queen of Castile today.
Although that awesome Isabella is no longer alive, no one dares to despise Ferdinand, and he will never allow anyone to threaten the Castile throne under his control.
A figure suddenly emerged from the crowd and saw a low commotion among the Portuguese.
Don Macrosbine stood in front of everyone. He looked at Alexander who had come to him. Under the watch of everyone, the private treasurer of Isabella's lifetime bent down.
"Adult, I am Her Majesty's Private Treasurer Juan Don Macrosbine, please allow me to pay tribute to you," Don Macrosbine bowed and saluted first. When he straightened up, he seemed Looked at Alexandria carefully, then kneeled down on one knee under everyone's watch, and took Alexandria's hand. "His Royal Highness, in the name of the Marklos Byrne family, please accept my allegiance to you."
Another unnoticeable commotion sounded, and some of the nobles' expressions changed.
A satisfied smile appeared on Manuel's face. His eyes looked into the crowd and saw the nobles with different looks. His mouth slightly pulled the corner of the mouth with a hint of irony.
Even in the court of Lisbon, some people have an intricate relationship with Castile. These people had previously strongly opposed Manuel ’s divorce from Maria, and now they have witnessed Isabella ’s personal wealth. The official publicly swore allegiance to the illegitimate son of Enrique IV, which shocked the pro-Castillas who had already been surprised by the sudden appearance of such a person.
"The Duke of Thesia, Count of Montina, Regent of Pisa and Prince of Wallachia Alexander Juliant Gumbre." Manuel lifted the glass from the servants who had been waiting for him. Raised his arms to everyone and announced aloud, "Also Prince of Castile, let us give him a new surname and title, Castile's Joel Modillo Astamara, long live!"
"Long live!"
Loud cheers instantly rang over the castle square, and countless wine glasses were lifted to the sky at this moment.
In the waves of cheers, Manuel and Alexander walked into the palace together.
Don Mark Lose Byrne followed Juana, and he noticed the inexcitable excitement on Juana's face, while his gaze quickly glanced at Alexander.
At this moment, Don Macrosbine knew better than anyone that a war for the throne was inevitable.
At the end of February 1502, King Manuel of Portugal announced the formal announcement of the dissolution of marriage with Maria of Aragon, and then ordered Maria to leave Portugal within two days.
Then Manuel announced that he would marry Juana, daughter of Enrique IV, Castilla.
In early March, the new Queen of Portugal Juana, in the name of a half-brother, invited Alexander Juliant Gumbre, Duke of Thesia, to Lisbon.
Manuel greeted the Duke of Rome Thesia in a grand ceremony, and immediately publicly announced that he recognized the Duke of Rome Thesia as the Prince of Castile.
When the news reached Barialido, it took Ferdinand a long time to sort out the relationship.
He didn't believe it at first, but with the new information constantly coming, Ferdinand finally began to truly face the facts before him.
Then he was completely irritated!
The unusual anger made Ferdinand no longer able to endure the order to send people to Toledo to arrest Alexander VI immediately.
But when the person sent back came empty-handed.
Alexander VI had already left Toledo immediately after the departure of Juana and his wife. As for the whereabouts of the Pope, Ferdinand felt incredible. Alexander VI actually went south.
At this time, Ferdinand seemed to finally know who the enemy who was always hidden in the dark, and he was now absolutely sure that all of this was the one called Alexander Juliant Gumbre, and also called Joe It was planned by the people of Hyun Modillo.
From the very beginning, this man has closely watched Castile's crown, and even what he wants to come to Sicily now has an inseparable relationship with him.
As for Don Bavey in the South, Ferdinand did n’t think he had any direct relationship with Alexander, but now when he heard that the Pope had traveled to the South, Ferdinand was finally able to confirm that there was obviously the young man behind him. Shadow.
"Throne, he is for the throne," although so far I have not heard that the Castilian prince claimed to the throne, but Ferdinand knew it was only a matter of time. "French, Portuguese, Sicilian, yet Don Bavey ... "
Ferdinand suddenly discovered that when all this was connected, his situation was already very bad.
In this situation, Ferdinand decided to write to his family for help.
There are two of his relatives, today King Henry VII of England and Emperor Maximian of Austria, the Holy Roman Emperor.
Ferdinand did not hold much hope for Henry VII. He knew that Henry VII would have agreed to the son to marry his daughter Catherine of Aragon, more in order to contain France. From the perspective of people's performance on the Italian battlefield, today's England seems to be more willing to fan the flames than to be directly involved in that war.
But for Maximian, Ferdinand is very confident.
He knew that Maximilian had always been trying to expand the power and influence of his illusory Roman emperor, so he believed Maximian would never sit back and watch what happened in Iberia.
Not to mention all the signs that the French and Roma Thesia have formed an alliance ~ EbookFREE.me ~ This is enough to stimulate Maximian's nerves.
"Dear Your Majesty, I am here to ask for your help, it is related to whether the legal crown with our blood descendants can be passed on, so I ask you to wage a war in Europe enough to stop the Roman Thesias You have to be reminded to be fully prepared, because this is likely to be a battle that is related to the fate of our kingdom. "
Once awake, Ferdinand's actions became extremely rapid, and his envoys were sent to the courts of the allied countries all over the continent.
However, at the same time that Ferdinand quickly launched diplomatic mediation, in the countless castles, palaces, and rich palaces of Europe, the figures of the trade union messengers can also be seen everywhere.
In the palaces of the German princes, in the mansions of the Fugel family, in the Doge ’s Palace in Venice, and deep in the castles of Loire, plans have been brewing for a long time.
Aiming at the crown on the Iberian Peninsula, a war will be launched on the Europa continent to determine the future destiny of Europe!
