There was a bright light across the distant dark sky, and the meteor with a long narrow light tail fell diagonally toward the northwestern night.
Ferdinand watched the falling meteor without moving for a long time.
Just now he received a terrible news that made him extremely disturbed.
Alexandre Juliante Gombray suddenly appeared in Toledo.
This incident alone was enough to shock him, and what really disturbed him was that when the news came, that Gombray had been in Toledo for a while.
During this time, what did that person do in Drago?
And why has no one sent him this news until now?
Just thinking about these makes Ferdinand vaguely feel that something big is going to happen.
What made him more disturbed was that he had received a letter from Gonzalo before.
In the letter, Gonzalo promised him that he would call that Gombray into his hands.
This also made Ferdinand feel fortunate, and even secretly happy, thinking that Seville's failure finally made Gonzalo willing to bow to him after being frustrated.
Although this is costly, it is worth it.
But the news from the newcomers let Ferdinand know another thing he hadn't thought of.
I had always thought that when I wrote this letter, I was training the army in the Cordoba Center, and Gonzalo, who was preparing for shame, was also in Toledo.
And this, Gonzalo did not mention a word in the letter.
When I heard that the pressure was high in Toledo, Ferdinand’s first thought was to send someone to Toledo immediately, either to capture that person alive or kill him directly!
It's just that Ferdinand knew that his idea was probably more of a luxury.
Sure enough, before the person sent to convey his order had left Vallitod, another person from Toledo sent the latest news.
Only this time, Ferdinand could not withstand the shock this news brought him.
The Archbishop of Toledo suddenly announced that a grand parade will be held in Castile.
This is not the real reason that shook Ferdinand. It was the archbishop of Toledo who announced that because the Pope is now stationed in Seville, the destination of this parade will be Seville. Leah.
When he heard this report, Ferdinand felt that his eyes were slightly dark, and he instinctively reached out to support the back of the chair next to him to stabilize his body.
Although it was just a momentary gaffe, he knew that all this had fallen into the eyes of the ministers who had been staring at him.
No one does not know that Alexander VI is now in Seville, and it is no secret that the Pope publicly supports the Duke of Rome Thesia.
If it weren't for today's Alexander VI more like being exiled, Ferdinand suspects that the Castilians might have set off a wave of overthrowing him.
A Castilian prince, even an illegitimate child, is enough to be an excuse for the Castilian nobles to overthrow him.
What's more, this man also has a half-sister who is the Queen of Sicily.
The Castilians would think of overthrowing his rule, so how many of the Aragonese would secretly collude with the Queen of Sicily?
Ferdinand suddenly discovered that his situation was unprecedentedly dangerous, and even this is not whether he can rule Castile, but someone has begun to threaten his status as the king of Aragon.
What's going on with Andres Rogge, can he get Navarre to agree to the marriage and then contain the French?
This thought flashed through Ferdinand's mind.
Now he pinned his hopes on his followers and followers, using Maria's marriage with Queen Akarina's son to let Navarre hold the French.
Then, even if he endured extremely harsh conditions, he had to make peace with Portugal temporarily.
Only in this way can we free ourselves to deal with the Duke of Rome Thesia
This is Ferdinand's plan.
But he did not expect that Alexander would suddenly arrive in Toledo.
And the prayer procession that Archbishop Toledo immediately decided was already announcing his support for Seville.
The Castilla Church has made a decision, but what about the Council of Nobles?
Ferdinand still remembered the strange expressions of the nobles present when he heard about the archbishop's decision.
Although there are many contradictions between the old aristocrats of Valaridode and Toledo, the intricate relationship between the two parties is by no means that simple.
As a matter of fact, many of the new aristocrats of Valaridod came from the old aristocracy. Some of them were adventurers who fell into the family in their early years and devoted themselves to Isabella. Some originally followed the orders of the family and went to Enrique IV. World and Isabella’s camp.
In this way, both sides bet, no matter who wins or loses, the family can be guaranteed to survive.
And Isabella is well aware of this, but as long as these people remain loyal to her. She would not shut them out because of such speculative thinking.
But now it seems that this has become a near fatal weakness for Ferdinand.
Ferdinand didn't know how many people in Vallitod were doing his calculations at this time. All his hopes now rest on Andres Rogge.
The envoy sent to Lisbon has set out in secret, and this time he has decided to endure even humiliating conditions and to end the war with Manuel.
And he believed that once Manuel's appetite was satisfied, the Portuguese would make peace with him.
Even that Juana would betray her half-brother without hesitation when the benefits were great enough to impress her.
So what will happen to the Queen of Sicily?
What kind of conditions can make her stand by her side?
Even in the face of such a difficult situation, Ferdinand still firmly believes that he can get rid of it.
It's just that he desperately needs to know what is going on with Andres Rogge.
The fleeting meteor disturbed Ferdinand's heart, and he always felt that it seemed to herald something unlucky.
There was a soft footstep behind him, and Ferdinand turned around and saw a figure that he hated appeared at the door.
Thomas Tangomada stood far away and saluted.
In Ferdinand's opinion, the black robe on his body looked as unpleasant as today's night, and in fact, he had never liked Isabella's personal priest.
Because although he had made hints to Thomas Tangomada more than once, the priest always seemed to pretend to be deaf and stupid and deliberately ignored the kindness he showed.
However, with the death of Isabella, the priest also knew that his good days were over. In the past, relying on the queen to run wild, his cruelty and ruthlessness as the highest judge of the court made him countless enemies, which made Thomas Tango Mada can only take refuge in Ferdinand obediently.
"Your Majesty, there are some things I want to report to you." Thomas Tangomada looked solemn, which made Ferdinand feel nervous.
Thomas Tangomada was able to become the highest judge of the court, in addition to being cruel and cruel, he did have some abilities, especially his mastery of various canons and church laws, which many people could not match.
"What's the matter so late?"
"It's your Majesty Juana," Tango Mada answered cautiously. "When I was making a confession for her, I discovered that she was actually trying to treat the prince with a method that would be used by heretics."
Ferdinand's expression turned gloomy for an instant, he raised his hand to stop Tango Mada's words, and then motioned for him to close the door and follow him to the garden pavilion.
Ferdinand then asked gloomily: "Tell me what happened."
"I swear that it is definitely a method used by heretics and witches." Tangramada seemed to be frightened. He kept his voice down as much as possible when speaking. "You know that I have tried countless cases of heretics and witches, so I can tell you I promise that there is absolutely no mistake, the method she used is so evil, that is something that only witches can do."
"What did she do?" Ferdinand asked impatiently.
"The prince's illness has completely lost her mind. She seems to believe that some kind of evil ritual can help her transfer the pain of the prince to her body, and this kind of ritual obviously needs to be performed through intercourse."
"It's not a big deal. You have to know that it is a crime to go without marriage, and the relationship between men and women protected by a sacred marriage contract does not violate the rules."
Ferdinand breathed a sigh of relief, he felt that Tangomada had obviously made a fuss.
"But your Majesty, if it's really just the same room between husband and wife, of course it is not blasphemy, but I can assure you that the queen is performing some kind of evil ritual. Her purpose is not to pursue pleasure, but to use it. I must remind you that this is a method that only evil and licentious witches can use."
Speaking, Tang Goma took out a crumpled rag from his robe.
Looking at the scarlet-colored weird symbol that I didn't know what to use, Ferdinand finally showed a look of shock on his face.
"I found this in the queen's room. She hid these things under her bed, and then let the prince put the prince on that bed, although the prince was already very ill, and what she did to stimulate his desire Even the cheapest prostitute can't do it."
"Shut up, the one you are slandering now is Queen Castilla, who is also your master."
Ferdinand stopped Tango Mada with a low growl, but then he lowered his voice and asked, "Who else knows about this?"
"Please rest assured, the servants involved in this matter have been sent to the trial house by me. No one will know their whereabouts anymore, but the queen herself..."
Ferdinand clenched his fist in annoyance as Tango Mada was hesitant to speak.
His face was uncertain, and he seemed to be hesitant to make a certain resolution.
But in the end he squinted his eyes and said gloomily to Tango Mada: "Priest, you know this must not be leaked out. The queen of Castile must be a devout believer."
Tango Mada nodded silently, and saw Ferdinand’s gloomy look that seemed to be dripping. He hesitated and said: "But your Majesty, in the character of a queen, she will not listen to anyone’s dissuasion, and you know, She looks very abnormal now, and it can even be said that she has completely lost her reason."
Tangomada's words made Ferdinand's brows knit together, and a deep dent appeared on his forehead because of the trouble.
After a while, he suddenly said: "Highland Castle is very suitable for cultivation, maybe it is more convenient for her."
Tango Mada let out a soft "Oh", but his eyes stopped on Ferdinand's face and did not move.
"I will send someone to guard the castle. From now on, no one is allowed to see her without permission. As for the people around Juana, you should know what to do."
Tango Mada nodded unnoticeably, and then asked in a low voice: "Then your Majesty, when are you going to send Her Majesty to the Highland Castle?"
Ferdinand took a deep breath, knowing that Tangomada would ask this because of the bad news from Toledo.
The changes in Toledo have had a huge impact on Vallariddo. At this time, Juana's every move as the queen will be directly related to the situation in Castile.
But now Ferdinand has no other way.
He must not let people discover that Juana is crazy to the point, otherwise once the people know the truth about their queen, not only Juana, even him, may be overthrown by this terrible truth that is enough to shake the entire kingdom. On the ground.
"Send her to Highland Castle immediately, and Philip, send him too."
When Ferdinand finished speaking, he took a deep breath and seemed to ease his emotions a little, then he made a gesture to the distance without expression.
A guard in armor immediately walked over and saw the king's ugly look, the guard bowed his head cautiously.
"Call your soldiers immediately and let your people obey the command of the judge," Ferdinand ordered to the guard "whatever you send, you must do what he tells you. Remember this is my order."
A hint of surprise flashed in the guard's eyes quickly, but he responded immediately. UU reading www. uukanshu.com
Soon, there was the sound of intensive footsteps of a group of soldiers gathering in the distance, and clusters of figures flashed in the garden, and the night light passed by the cold light reflected from the weapon from time to time.
"Don’t let anyone know what’s going on," Ferdinand looked at the assembled palace guard and said to Tongomada, who was standing aside. "No one is allowed to follow them except Juana. I will be here. Highland Castle arranges suitable people to serve them."
"My Majesty, I know what to do," Tango Mada glanced at Ferdinand from the corner of his eyes, and his dry and sagging cheeks could not help but tremble slightly. "But you know that although there are no female officials by the Queen, some of her attendants 'S identity may cause some trouble."
"I'll solve this," Ferdinand interrupted Tango Mada impatiently, then he glanced at the priest consciously or unconsciously. "But I hope that the trial will punish those heretics more severely. You must know that my wife is in power. At that time, some people evaded due diligence by relying on their status. I don't want this situation to continue during my daughter's administration."
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, it is the duty of the court to punish heresy and depravity. This is the honor given to me by the Queen and you," Tangomada's eyes showed the scorching heat that seemed to burn everything. "It is also the will of Christ."
