Vol 7 Chapter 274: grasp

Where is the missing Juana? !
Whether it was Valaritod or Madrid, the hearts of countless people were tightly gripped by Juana's whereabouts.
People stay up all night waiting for news, but they can only respond to disappointment.
The fugitives seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, and a group of search teams kept searching for them on various roads.
It seems that out of a tacit understanding, with the Segovia Ferry as the boundary, the two sides sent their own personnel to search for the whereabouts of Juana and others.
In Madrid, people who heard the accident took to the streets, lit candles, and the bells of churches and monasteries kept ringing throughout the night.
The nuns held a blessing mass for Juana, and some nobles have made a wish to the church. Once they learn that the queen is safe, they will give a large amount of fortune to the church as a thank you.
To these nobles, Alexander was not angry because of their actions.
The reign of Isabella for many years is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Although Juana has not inherited these advantages of her mother at all, because of Isabella's death soon, many people have turned their respect for the queen into expectations of Juana.
It is not easy to change all of this completely, and it may be counterproductive if it is deliberately obliterated.
As for Juana's whereabouts, many people in Alexander felt very confused.
In fact, he can clearly feel whether it is Gonzalo or Don Banderas looking at him with weird looks, and he believes that many people in Madrid are also secretly guessing whether this is all secretly manipulated by him.
Schell is very nervous. He has reorganized the Balkans. Although he is not very clear about the situation, the Balkans can detect that the atmosphere has suddenly become tense.
In the middle of the night, Gonzalo asked to meet with Alexander alone, which almost made Schell, who was resolutely opposed, almost clashed with him. In the end, Alexander agreed to Gonzalo's request.
No one knew what they were talking about in the room with the door closed, and Gonzalo didn't come out of the room in Sher's fear until it was dawn.
Alexander personally sent Gonzalo out of the room, which made the guards on both sides waiting outside secretly struggling to breathe a sigh of relief.
To people's surprise, Gonzalo proactively kissed the back of Alexander's hand in front of many people, and that kind of respectful look would only appear in front of Isabella.
Afterwards, despite not sleeping all night, Alexander immediately ordered Don Bandraz who had waited the same night.
We still met alone with the door closed, but the conversation time with the Mayor of Madrid was much shorter than that with Gonzalo. When the sun shined through the entire row of windows in the corridor, the Mayor of Madrid came from the room Came out.
It was also delivered to the door by Alexander himself, and Don Bandraz, like Gonzalo, showed extraordinary respect for Alexander.
Seeing the mayor of Madrid who left with his entourage after bowing, Alexander finally breathed a sigh of relief.
At this critical moment of Juana’s disappearance, there is even reason to suspect that all of this was planned by him. Although Gonzalo and Don Bandraz, who respectively control the army and the entire city, have doubts about him, But he was not eager to confront or denounce him.
From that moment on, Alexander knew what kind of determination the two men had made.
They may be suspicious and angry, but in the end they made the best choice for them. Since then, these two talents have truly taken refuge in his side.
Juana’s disappearance was indeed a huge accident that exceeded everyone's expectations, but it also gave people the opportunity to make a choice.
Obviously for Gonzalo and Don Banderas, Juana's fate is lighter than their own future after all, and it also made them completely determined.
When the two paid tribute to Alexander in front of everyone, they actually announced their decision to the entire Madrid.
Even if Juana is safe and sound, they will no longer be loyal to her.
Such a decision may seem sloppy, but in fact the two people are looking for the right time.
Regardless of what happens next, it is an indisputable fact that Juana and his wife fled Valaritod, and as Isabella's personal pastor, the great impact of Tangomada who fled with them is also immeasurable.
Isabella's daughter and her confidant fled from Valarito at the same time, which was a fatal blow to Ferdinand.
And their fleeing direction was Madrid, which caused an unimaginable huge blow to Ferdinand.
As for their sudden disappearance, no matter what the result is, if you think of Ferdinand’s imprisonment of Juana before, then almost everyone will think that all this has a direct relationship with Ferdinand.
Of course, some people may think that this may be Alexander's manipulation, but Ferdinand's suspicion is undoubtedly much greater.
Even if Juana may be found soon, Ferdinand’s suspicion cannot be removed unless he knows what happened during this time.
And this morning, with the departure of Gonzalo and Don Bandraz, the nobles of Madrid began to frequently appear outside Alexander's room.
People began to scramble to get the Duke's summons, and they even wanted to be one step earlier than others. For this reason, the nobles gathered in the corridor anxiously waiting for the Duke's answer.
Whenever the Balkans of Valsher appeared at the door of the room, a group of prominent Castilian nobles surrounded them regardless of their status, some of them pretending to be arrogant and putting on airs, some of them looked amiable and approachable, but Everyone's eyes were staring nervously at the Balkans at the same time, hoping to hear his name from him.
"Master Don Abuhwa, Master Moradato, Master Joharbinagaros," Schell held a piece of paper with names in his hand, stumbled and read, and saw that he walked over immediately. Among the nobles, the Balkans reached out and made an inviting gesture, "Please, sir, Your Highness is waiting for you."
Some of the nobles' faces flashed triumphantly, while others were reserved and expressionless, but when they stood at the door they couldn't help but stretch their already decent coats.
Seeing the few people entering the door, some people complained dissatisfiedly, they all rushed forward to ask Sher, just because there were too many people, it was so busy all at once.
During the short time the door was opened and closed, Alexander had already heard the noise and quarrel outside, but he ignored it, and instead looked at the nobles who came in.
The people he summoned were not the highest in Madrid status, but they were all the most useful to him now.
Tax collectors, court presidents, and civil affairs officials, after ensuring that the army will follow him, Alexander must firmly grasp these important people who can ensure that Madrid can still function normally in such a chaotic and confused moment.
These officials also knew that they had an important role in the duke who might become the king in the future, but they also knew that compared with Gonzalo and Don Bandraz, their status and status were slightly inferior. Those two people were summoned separately, but they were able to see that when they saw the duke together.
"My lord, I think you already know what happened suddenly," Alexander didn't say anything extra. For him, he is also racing against time. "At this time I think you and I should shoulder our responsibilities. I'm ready, I want to know what about you?"
There was a brief silence in the room. If these people were summoned alone, they would have expressed their allegiance at this time, but it would be difficult to do so in front of others.
However, Alexander did not give them time to remain reserved. He picked up three copies of the appointment book that had already been written and had been stamped from the table and held them up and looked at the three people: "I want you to manage it for me. Madrid, this is your new appointment. Please think about the adults. You only have this opportunity."
Looking at the three appointments, the faces of the three were embarrassed, entangled, and undecided.
They couldn't bear the Duke's directness, but because of this, they knew that if they refused, they might really lose the opportunity.
The first decision made by the Civil Administrator, Johar Binagaros, he took a step forward. When he saw Alexander indicating that one of the appointments belonged to him, the Civil Administrator took it without hesitation.
"Madridians are very panic right now. Your Highness, I think it is the duty of the civil officer to restore the normal life of the people as soon as possible." Seeing Alexander nodded in agreement, the civil officer continued to say, "Maybe I do this may cause misunderstanding, but I must fulfill my duties. Obligations."
Alexander looked at the civil officer calmly. There was no sarcasm in his eyes, but the evaluation of this man in his heart was somewhat lower.
If he had accepted his appointment in the name of so-called duties a few days ago, Alexander would understand.
But at this time, he still thought about stepping on two boats, which made him inevitably underestimate the administrator.
When it is time to make a decision, he still looks forward and backward and tries to cover everything. This person may have a good ability to be a bureaucrat, but such a character is not destined to go too far.
"His Royal Highness, please allow me to serve you," the president of the court suddenly said, but he seemed to soon realize that he had said something wrong and immediately changed his words "No, please accept my allegiance, Your Highness."
Don Abu Heva unexpectedly took Alexander's hand and lowered his head to kiss. His appearance made the two people next to him start to stay for a while, and then his faces showed different expressions.
Johar Binagaros, who was holding the appointment book, had a complicated look on his face. His eyes quickly swept across the faces of Alexander and Don Abuhwa, a flash of annoyance.
Standing on the other side, the tax officer Moradato, who had not spoken yet, stepped forward suddenly after a short moment. Like the president of the court, he took Alexander's hand and lowered his head and kissed, and then said: "Your Highness, please accept me. Allegiance to you."
The look on Hohal Binagaros's face at this moment is very wonderful. He slightly opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something but couldn't get in. He looked at the two people who bowed to Alexander, his lips moved a few times before finally following. Bend down silently.
Only then did Alexander show a smile on his face. He raised his hand lightly and signaled that the three people need not be polite. Then he sat down and looked at the three important Madrid officials in front of him: "I want Madrid not to be accidental by the Queen. If something bad happens, it is up to you to do it for me."
"His Royal Highness, please."
Listening to the three people answering in unison, Alexander knew that he had truly mastered Madrid from this moment.
Schell frequently appeared at the door, and following the names he called, one by one nobles and officials came in and out.
The person who was called for a while was full of joy, but the person who had not heard his name was anxious.
Among these people, a short and skinny man always stood outside the crowd.
His eyes were cold and expressionless, and a black robe on his body made him look like a stranger shouldn't be near.
And people do not seem to want to be with him, it is empty around him, and it seems that everyone avoids him intentionally or unintentionally.
There are fewer and fewer people at the door, and the emotions of those left behind have become more and more disturbed.
Looking at the nobles and officials who entered, they looked happy or stunned. Although it can be guessed that some of them may be reused, some may be sent from their original positions, but after all, these people have been exposed to the Duke. After the face, there is also a landing.
This makes those who have never been called by their names even more anxious, but they also know that if they act rashly at this time, the results may be worse.
"Masters, please go back. Your Royal Highness will no longer see guests today."
Scheer's words made those who had been waiting couldn't help but disappointed. They wanted to ask the Balkans for accommodation, but they were simply rejected.
And Schell had already squeezed out of the crowd that had surrounded him, and walked towards the skinny man who was always silent under people's gaze.
"Is it Master Capendi?"
The thin man seemed startled. He stayed for a while, and nodded after confirming that Schell was indeed talking to him: "Yes, I'm Sebastian de Capendi."
"My lord, please come with me. You are the last person your Royal Highness will summon today."
Schell's words made the people around him seem very surprised. They didn't expect that the last person the Duke would see was this person, and he would actually summon him alone.
When the man named Sebastian de Capendi entered the counter room, Alexander was standing at the table waiting for him.
Before this person could speak, Alexander had already said: "The warden, it's finally your turn. I didn't expect it would take so long to deal with those people."
The man named Capendi bowed silently to Alexander. He knew that Alexander should already know him. He arranged for him at the end and summoned him alone. The warden of Madrid Prison had already thought about what he might want. Done.
"Tell me how many people are in your prison?" Alexander asked bluntly.
"177 prisoners, my lord," Carpenti added after finishing "but these people are felons, not including the minor prisoners who are working hard at the quarry and docks. If you count them in total..."
"I want you to arrange a group of people for me," Alexander interrupted the warden. "I know that you can treat even the most brutal prisoners to be submissive, so I want you to select some useful ones for me. People on the road."
"His Royal Highness, what kind of person do you need?"
The warden did not ask the bottom line, but directly asked the question he wanted to know.
"Will be obedient, and be able to come back obediently, do you have such a person?"
The warden nodded silently: "There are some people who are locked in with their brothers and fathers. As long as one of them is left behind, those who go out will return."
"That's good," Alexander relaxed a little, and then continued to the warden. "I want some people who are very familiar with the neighborhood. It is best to be familiar with the conditions along the way to Valaritod."
A flash of surprise flashed across the warden’s gloomy face. He had roughly guessed Alexander’s purpose for finding such a group of people, but he didn’t know how to do it.
"Let the prisoners whom you think reliable go out with these people. I want them to look for the whereabouts of Mrs. Juana and Pastor Tangomada all the way to Valaritod."
Sure enough!
The warden's heart suddenly tightened. He didn't expect Alexander to give him such an important task, but after thinking about it a little bit, he felt that it seemed to be taken for granted.
As the warden of Madrid prison, although Sebastian Don Carpenti has such a frightening identity, it is only the prisoners who really fear him.
Perhaps his job is too disturbing, or simply because he is not of a very good background, he is an outlier in Madrid's aristocratic circle, and the years spent in prison have made him gloomy and difficult to get along with.
Compared with the nobles who are keen to please the king of the future, Don Capendi obviously has not much that can be obtained in exchange for the reuse of the duke. This is also that although he came to meet with other people, he did not expect to meet The reason for being summoned.
But now it seems that a rare good opportunity is in front of him, but Don Capendi knows that once he gets into this vortex, he will never retreat.
After a brief silence, Don Capendi made his decision.
In fact, when all of them came to see the Duke of Rome Thesia, they were destined to have only one way to go.
And Don Capendi obviously has a better view of this situation than the administrator Joharbi Nagaros.
"His Royal Highness, I can arrange such a person for you, and if you need me, I can also find more manpower," the warden explained when Alexander was puzzled. "Those prisoners who are doing coolies, as long as they promise to avoid Because of their sins, many people are willing to do things."
Alexander showed a slight understanding. He knew that the warden is God for prisoners. He decides their fate and controls their life and death. As long as he needs him, he can arrange prisoners to do anything for him.
"Go and make arrangements, I will let my people go with me," the pressure mountain exhorted, watching the warden who was about to turn and leave after bowing, Alexander called to stop him. "I heard Don Bandraz say you used to Once a sheriff, maybe I will consider letting you hold this position again."
Don Capendi bowed and saluted Alexander again before turning around and exiting the room.
After the room finally calmed down~EbookFREE.me~ Alexander rubbed his aching shoulders and muttered softly, "It's a busy day."
But then he picked up the bell on the table again and called the waiting outside, giving orders one after another.
After being initially at a loss because of hearing the changes, the officials of the City of Madrid began to play their role.
The city gradually returned to normal, although there was still a lot of discussion everywhere, but with the efforts of officials and officials, the order in the city began to return to normal.
In the palace, after looking at the reports sent, Alexander finally breathed out a long breath and said contentedly: "My Madrid."
The sun is gradually setting west, and the long day is finally about to pass. Just when the sky is dark, a few teams with a small number of people set off from Madrid. They broke up outside the city, and followed their different roads to the northwest in Barea. Riddle ran.
Their purpose is to find the missing Juana and Tangomada.
