Conquer the Dawn of Heaven

Vol 5 Chapter 8: Troublesome, troublesome

There were only **** holding the clothes, but Alexander could still feel that the pinch was so tight, it seems that at this moment Princess Canola used all the strength of her body on her fingers.

Although I do n’t know why the princess suddenly made such a move, but from her seemingly calm, if you look closely, you can see that it is faintly on the trembling cheeks. It can be seen that Princess Canola is very nervous now, even With a trace of fear.

"As you wish, Grand Duke," Alexander finally said. At the outset of his words, everyone looked at the Grand Duke, as if waiting for his judgment.

This moment seems to be going very slowly.

"That's great," Duke Carl finally gave a seemingly happy answer, and with his laughter, the atmosphere around him instantly relaxed.

The guests sitting at the table also laughed, and the musician playing the local earthen piano stopped when he stopped, and began to pluck the strings.

Busako slowly withdrew his hand on the handle of the gun. He grabbed a bone on the table and gnawed hard, but his eyes kept staring at Grand Duke Karl not far away.

Alexander took the opportunity to clink with the princess to look at Princess Cagnola again. He found that the look of the princess had completely calmed down, and no clues could be seen from his face.

This made him even doubt that the clothes had been stretched out just as an illusion.

In the middle of the horseshoe-shaped concave table, two young men and women were dancing the local dance along with the melody of the earthen piano. That kind of exotic style, even mixed with some faint and tempting dances, aroused Alexander ’s interest. He knew that the Balkans were tough, but this was obviously inspired by interracial dance, but it reminded him of many things.

When Mohammed II was willing to lead troops to siege Belgrade decades ago, he never thought he would usher in the biggest defeat of his life.

The Sudan, which had the most powerful army in the world at that time, failed to create a miracle. He was disgraced by the powerful soldiers of the Balkans and a large group of equally sturdy and fearless farmers, and even the Sudan himself was injured.

This made Mohammed II unwilling but had to roll his flag. The result of this defeat was the Ottoman conquest of the Balkans, which was delayed for more than half a century.

But despite this, the influence of the Ottomans on the Balkans has not faded because of Mohammed ’s disastrous defeat. On the contrary, in these decades, the Ottoman Empire has gradually penetrated into the Balkan countries. In addition to the terror of their dreaded army, there are Their diet, culture, and especially religion, have quietly penetrated into every corner of these large and small countries.

If that was the case, Alexander did n’t care much, but Princess Cañola ’s move just caught his attention, and he could feel it. When Duke Carl said that, he was serious. The situation is that if he refuses, the grand-duke is likely to really take action.

Has the Ottomans been able to influence the Balkan court, and behind these seemingly happy nobles, what are they thinking about? Alexander thought about it secretly.

The Yinggeyan dance in front of him became dull for a while, and the entire Caniola court looked like a group of masked actors performing a play.

The sky was fading, but Grand Duke Carl seemed to be very interested. He kept beckoning to let the chef take out the good wine from the wine cellar, and later he jumped up with the cheerful tune of the earthen piano.

Dagong's spine was pressed against his back like a stone, but this did not seem to affect his interest. In the surroundings of the courageous cries of the entourage, Duke Carl even greeted people to join him Running to the open space in the middle of the dining table bouncing.

During the dance, Dagong ’s hand always held tightly the hand of Princess Marc Devi who was sitting next to him. Even when he jumped out of the dance, he did not let go, but just alternated with both hands, but always Hold tightly.

Alexander felt a slight change in the look of Princess Cagnola sitting on the side. She seemed to move around casually, but Alexander soon noticed that she made a gesture to him under the table.

People still danced around the Grand Duke continuously, and Princess Cagnola walked slowly along the wall. When she saw nobody paying attention to her, she flashed into the garden through a small door. Yong Road.

Alexander didn't keep up. Although he knew that the princess seemed to have something to tell him, he was clearly the subject of attention as a banquet guest. Even Busako was surrounded by several women and kept asking and asking.

Surrounded by people and coming to the open space, Alexander came to Grand Duke Carl, and he noticed that the Grand Duke's hand holding Princess Marchi was getting tighter, which made the princess's face even a trace of pain.

"Are you going back to your barracks?" Grand Duke Carl looked up at Alexander with a spit.

"Yes, I am used to being with my army."

"This is a good habit," Dagong nodded in agreement. "I remember that the emperor Basil of Rome also had this habit. Some people even said that most of his life was spent in the military barracks instead of the harem." Dagong laughed. , And then turned around and said to the people around him, "But in my opinion, this habit is a bit of asking for trouble. Unless the emperor's woman is very ugly, otherwise if he has such a beautiful wife, how could he be willing?"

Dagong said suddenly, and pulled her into her arms in the exclamation of Princess Marchi Dovi, and then kissed the lips of the princess with greasy mouth.

There was a burst of laughter all around, and people kept whistling and shouting, and Alexander noticed the anger on the faces of Jiali and some Marchivi who came with him.

"Don't be angry Prince, I will be your brother-in-law soon," Grand Duke obviously saw Prince Gary's anger, he let the princess turn back and said to the prince, "Now you and our guests eat and drink together, I have more Important things to do. "He said that he effectively dragged Princess Marchi's hand towards the door.

"Where are you taking my sister?"

Prince Jiali shouted angrily, but was stopped by a tall grandpa servant who reached out and pressed his hand against his chest.

"Of course it ’s my room. You know, it ’s a sacred day. You wo n’t forget to follow the custom of our Canola. Before the wedding, the wife must enter the husband ’s room and stay alone for one night. Only this is her soul. You will be familiar with everything here, and you will not be surprised by the angel who walked on the bed because the stranger was scared on the wedding night. "

"That's all pagan customs, and you still keep that custom, which is blasphemy." Prince Gary shouted, "You can't touch her, you haven't concluded a formal marriage contract yet! Mine My sister must hold the wedding purely. "

"It may be a little difficult, but rest assured that I will let her wait for her to be groomed before the wedding. She must be clean and pure by then."

The provocative tone revealed in the Duke's words again caused the entourage to laugh out loud. They surrounded the Duke and went out, leaving only the prince Jiali to growl.

Alexander always stood by and watched the scene without stopping, even if the princess looked at him as if to ask for help, he didn't move.

He has been observing from the beginning, the princess who came to marry the Grand Duke, there are Orthodox churches and Catholic churches in the capital, and it seems that relatives are actually surging in a clash between the two families.

All this is not new, Alexander can even guess the situation in front of him without even thinking about it.

He is just thinking now, if he wants to blend in, what is good for himself.

There is nothing right or wrong about this kind of court religious conflict in order to compete for power, so if you want to participate in any one of them, there will be no laudable noble reasons except for profit.

It may seem helpless to think about it, but in fact it is just one of the countless farce being staged throughout Europe today.

There is another reason why he did not speak, that is, he was not invited.

The prince seemed to want to solve the problem before him, but except for the few people he brought, everyone in this hall looked at him with a hostile or mocking look.

And some of the people around him already showed timidity.

"Help me," Prince Gary suddenly turned around and whispered hurriedly in front of Alexander. "For the sake of all of us believing in **** Christ, do you want to watch my sister be insulted?"

"She is his fiancee."

"But they haven't gotten married yet, and he is tainting this wedding with pagan customs." The prince said angrily. "These customs are the evil habits left by the people who worship here paganism, and few of those brides are pure Walked into the church, this is the dirty thing of Doa, don't you know? "

Perhaps it was because he was too excited, and the young prince showed a disgusted look on his face, as if to say something disgusting to him.

"My grandfather had abolished this custom, but now they have restored it. I can swear that this is Carl's revenge and insult to my family and our faith."

As Prince Jiali stared at Alexander fiercely, he felt that there was no help from this man. The prince's hand squeezed the sword handle in his waist.

There were faint sounds of invisible weapons colliding around, and the seemingly hilarious Caniola people held their swords one after another.

"Don't be impulsive, it is really unwise for you to mention your grandfather at this time." Alexander whispered in the prince's ear.

Previously from the Knights of Moleco, he already knew that the grandfather of Prince Gary was the king who once ruled the Principality of Cabaola by the Marchi family, and it was during his reign that the Catholic Church took advantage of the Principality It was because of this that the later Kings of Cabaola became wary of the Duke of Marchi Dovi.

However, this is enough.

Alexander felt that he had found enough reasons, at least to find an excuse to make him conditional.

"Duke!"

Alexander's shouts overshadowed all the sounds in the hall. At one time people's eyes were cast on him, and Grand Duke Carl, who had dragged the princess to the door, also stopped when he heard the sound.

The Grand Duke turned around slowly, pulling the arm of Princess Maldives, and the princess had to follow him around in a circle, with a smile on Duke Karl ’s face. Although he hunched, the expression on his face was clear. Excited, it seemed that he knew the Alexandria meeting came out from the beginning.

Now seeing Alexander finally speaking, the Duke's expression flashed with excitement.

"Do you have anything to say, Earl?" Carl's face hung with a smile, his gaze swept over the princess Malziwei's mulan's face, and then over Prince Gary, and finally fell on Alexander's face on.

"Duke, you seem to have forgotten the canon that a believer should abide by," seeing Karl to speak, Alexander continued: "I am talking about Princess Marzivian as a believer in Christ, she once vowed to obey the Bible's advice to women To protect her virginity before the sacred marriage contract is officially fulfilled, only then will she not be held guilty for depravity. Now, Grand Duke, you are instigating a woman to violate her oath. "

"Earl, you may not understand it yet," Grand Duke Carl smiled silently. He loosened his grip on the princess's wrist like a tentative look, and then looked instinctively to the side, but then stiffly stopped. The princess below, there was more smiles on the Duke ’s face. “The Principality of Canola is following the canon of the Orthodox Church. For 200 years we have followed the Archbishop of Constantinople as Jesus’ first disciple in this world, and The Emperor of Rome was the only monarch who ruled the world with **** Christ. "

Dagong said that he walked slowly forward. This time he grabbed the princess's wrist again, because he could see the painful expression on Princess Marchi's face with too much force.

Prince Gary couldn't help but want to pounce forward, but Alexander held out his hand and held his shoulder.

"The Marchi Dovi family once had a terrific duke," Karl slowly walked, his eyes looking around. The sharp eyes made those who met them can't help but avoid the eyes "John. Co Marchi Dovi, one of the most ambitious in this family, he once fought with the terrible Zepes against the Ottomans, and once played for Zepes to suppress his enemies, and the reward he received was in Zepes With help, he became the Grand Duke of Caniola. "

There was a whisper from all around, and everyone here knew this history, or for the grand duke's family, it was a past that made them least willing to mention it.

Now Grand Duke Carl said the matter in front of everyone, and people couldn't help but secretly ponder the purpose of Grand Duke.

"John Ko Marchivi not only became the Grand Duke, but also established a church in Ljubljana to convert to Rome. Although his reign was very short, we all know what he brought to Canola." Karl paused and suddenly shouted hard against his hump, shouting, "He put Caniola in danger of division, division in faith, division in territory, when he died his son simply tried to let Marchi Dovi Separated from Caniola, this is Marchi Dovi, a group of people who have ambitions but use all kinds of conspiracies and tricks because they are mean and timid! "

Karl's last sentence suddenly raised his voice. For a time, the entire hall was filled with Caniola people responding to the Grand Duke's shouts, and the angry refutations of several Marchi Doves were quickly suppressed by the shouts.

Prince Jiali's face was blue, he wanted to pull out his sword in desperation. When several nobles of Caniola drew their swords at him, the prince shouted angrily at the Grand Duke behind them: "You insult my ancestors , Insulting my family, I want to challenge you to show everyone who is the mean coward! "

"Why are you going to fight me?" Karl suddenly pushed away a noble who was standing in front of him. He walked up to the prince, raised his head slightly, stretched out his thick arm, and thrust his finger firmly into Prince Gary's chest. "You are not qualified to challenge me, unless you have inherited your father's title, but I am a little doubt now that you have this opportunity."

"what did you say?!"

Princess Marchi Dove, who had been dragged by the Grand Duke but kept silent, made a frightened cry, "What are you going to do with Gary?"

"This is what I want to say," Carl glanced at the prince, and then looked at Alexander. "Count, you are just passing by, although your army looks brave, but I know you should have other things to do, so do n’t mix in. , Otherwise you will find this a big trouble. "

Anything related to faith or power is not that simple at all times. If it is related to both, it is even worse.

Europeans will not forget the Huth War, it is because of faith, and the Balkans or the Greeks will not forget the **** conflict that has erupted in the Eastern Roman Empire for hundreds of years because of the worship and destruction of the idol movement.

As for how much of these power disputes are hidden under the cloak of faith, it is unclear.

So Alexander nodded, he thought Karl's words were good, it was indeed a big trouble.

Grand Duke Carl smiled again, and he guessed right. The earl from afar clearly had his own plans and purposes, so although the army outside the city was not reassuring, he still believed he could persuade Alexander.

However, Karl also knew that this was probably about to shed some blood, but he didn't care about this. The Principality of Canola is probably not as rich as those of the big powers, but they also have something that others envy.

"You will get a very generous reward Earl ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Believe me you will find that Caniola has gems that are difficult to find elsewhere." Carl finished talking to Alexander and looked at the uneasy Mal. Princess Kiwi "As for your dear, I think you and your brother should live in Ljubljana."

The princess's face was instantly pale, and she had already guessed the purpose of the Duke, but this made her more alarmed.

"Are you going to host us?"

"No, let him be the hostage," Grand Duke pointed to Prince Gary "and you want to marry me, we have to have children, and our children will inherit my seat."

Speaking of this, there was a flash of excitement in Carl's eyes, and his eyes could not be swept over the princess's body, as if he were admiring a toy he had just received.

"It's really a trouble," Alexander, who was watching this scene, suddenly opened his mouth. He glanced at the door first. After making sure that he saw a familiar figure, he grinned at Carl. "But because of the trouble, I Only to blend in. "

Karl's face sank in an instant, but just before he opened his mouth, suddenly, a tremendous loud noise suddenly sounded from outside the palace!
