When he saw that face, Alexander was surprised.

He knew that there must be a reason why Don Bavi valued Sister Alfurt so much, but he didn't expect it to be such a reason.

A face identical to that of Mary, Alexander did not think that such a coincidence could occur, even if there was a rather mysterious claim that there must be someone somewhere in the world who looked exactly like himself.

There may indeed be similar-looking ones, but unless they have undergone plastic surgery, it is impossible to have this kind of similarity that is completely poured out of a mold.

Unless, it's twins.

Maria was the fourth or fifth child of Isabella and Ferdinand.

The reason why I say this is because in addition to her brother *** Ann and two sisters, who were known to have died not long ago, when Maria was born, there was also a twin sister who was declared to have died just after birth, and this child is said to have had bad luck and lost his life just after birth, and he didn't even have time to be baptized and named.

In this era, even in royal and aristocratic families, it is extremely dangerous for women to give birth, and there is no shortage of queens in history who died because of childbirth, and even Maria herself became the queen of Portugal because of the death of her sister Isabella of Aragon in childbirth.

Therefore, it is not a very new thing for Isabella to die of a child due to dystocia, and it is also common for aristocratic families to encourage childbirth in order to prevent the loss of heirs, so it seems that a woman has not fulfilled her duty if she does not have seven or eight children in her life.

Thinking about it, the true identity of this Sister Alft is about to be revealed.

It's just that this Sister Alfort, although her appearance is exactly the same as that of Mary, her skin is so dark that it doesn't look like she has sunbathed at all, which is too surprising.

In terms of appearance, Alexander can say with certainty that this is the most common half-breed in a place like Iberia!

If there are two places on the European continent that claim to be the most ethnically mixed, it is the two southern peninsulas of the Apennines and the Iberia.

Because of the special reasons of history and geography, these two places have become the most mixed places where European races gather, different skin and different hair colors, different eyes and different languages, making these two places the most diverse places in the world.

It's just that it may have no purpose in the next few centuries, but in the present, it is deadly.

Especially for the royal families of Castile and Aragon, who were fighting for the Reconquista and expelling the Moors, what would happen if there was a child in the royal family who looked like a typical Moor?

Of course, Alexander didn't think that Isabella had a child with a Moor, otherwise there would be no way to explain Maria, after all, the two men did look exactly the same, but Maria was a typical European look.

So what's going on with this Sister Alfurt?

Alexander came up with the seemingly miraculous theory of 'atavism'.

Perhaps many generations ago, the ancestors of the Astamara family did have Moorish blood, after all, this is all too common for the Iberian Peninsula, where some places have been conquered by foreign races for nearly three centuries.

Perhaps due to the thinning of the origins of this bloodline, or simply as luck would have it, Astamara's descendants had shown no signs of such a mixture, but when it came to Maria and her twin sisters, they were suddenly lucky enough to win the jackpot.

And what was Don Bavi's intention in hiding such a nun with the same appearance as Mary in this convent located deep in the swamp?

Alexander looked at the closed window with a slight distraction, and he looked behind him to see that Schell was looking at him with a look of "You are such a master".

Thinking about it, this thing is indeed a bit inauthentic, after all, even taking advantage of the nun is a bit too much.

However, Alexander believed that he would be equally surprised if he let Schell see that face, but now he didn't want to explain, he just wanted to see Don Bavi again as soon as possible.

Alexander was eager to meet Sister Alfort, but the abbot refused to say yes.

She said that Sister Alfurt was so stimulated that she was so excited that she even behaved a little out of style.

For a convent like the Convent of the Virgins, even the slightest mistake in daily life can be punished severely, and now Sister Alfurt is obviously unable to withstand the stimulation and temptation from outside the convent.

"So when the monastery was built, the first abbot threw away the key to unlock it, because when we walked through this door, everything outside had nothing to do with us."

Really irrelevant?

Alexander, of course, did not believe it.

Following the convoy out of the Guadyaze marshes, Alexander rushed to Bukharanse, where the answer to everything was.

It was only then that Alexander realized that the Duke of Buhalanse was not simple, and when he thought about the fact that Maria had a twin sister who died at birth, he felt that this Duke was even comparable to the Count of Mordiglo.

Perhaps they were playing the same idea, or at least Don Bavi had such a bargaining chip in his hand in order to use it to negotiate with Isabella if necessary in the future.

It's just that at that time, Don Bavi probably didn't expect Isabella to be so powerful, and in just 20 years, the power of the royal family has developed to a terrifying point, and the powerful power of the queen and her husband makes all the noble lords secretly aggressive but helpless.

And for Don Bavi, he may have prepared this chess piece for himself in the early years, but now this seems to have become a big burden.

However, Alexander believes that Don Bavi will not give up on this Sister Alfort, she is so important that it can even be said that it completely subverts the meaning of the royal family in people's minds.

Imagine that the royal family of Castile, or Aragon, who had raised the banner of Christ to drive out the infidels and then launched a campaign of brutal revenge against heresy and heresy in the name of faith, had given birth to a mixed-race child, and the news of that had caused an uproar in the Iberian Peninsula was enough to cause an uproar.

It may even call into question the legitimacy of the Astamara family's rule over these two countries.

It's just so deadly that just thinking about it is enough to make people shiver all over.

But Alexander wasn't trembling at this time, he was pondering.

What is Don Bavi's purpose in revealing this secret to the Vatican at this time after so many years of planning and withholding it.

Any miracle that is finally presented to the Vatican must be explicitly confirmed and consecrated by the College of Cardinals, which means that Sister Alfurt must finally appear before all people.

At that point, her secret will be completely revealed.

Is this Don Baviy's plan, he wants everyone to know the secret?

Alexander didn't think Don Bavi would be so stupid, so-called secrets only make sense when they are secret, and once they are made public, they are worthless.

So what did the duke want to do with all the trouble he had?

Alexander pondered these things that puzzled him, and at the same time became wary of the duke.

Tang Bawei is obviously the kind of person who is very patient, and the fact that he has been able to hide this matter so tightly for so many years shows that he has a lot of ambition in his careful planning.

Now that he's suddenly going to make it all public, does he think the time has come, or is it because Isabella has disrupted the original steps and has to fight early?

Alexander knew that Isabella's seizure of power by the nobles had become more and more obvious and tough in recent years, relying on her huge prestige and the power of the church, Isabella had begun to set her sights on those powerful nobles after she had already cleaned up a large number of small and medium-sized nobles.

In fact, with the advent of the Age of Discovery, the power of the royal family became stronger and stronger, and by the time of Juana's son Charles V, a truly unified Spanish kingdom would emerge in the southwestern corner of Europe.

This kingdom would become the world's first truly world empire, and for nearly 2 centuries to come, it would have a huge impact on the entire world.

Don Bavi wouldn't know that, of course, but he obviously knew that he was now Isabella's target, just like the other great nobles.

So, is he going to fight for his fate before Isabella eats even the bones left?

And he obviously considered that with Isabella's current prestige, he was unlikely to be able to compete with her, so the power of the church could play an important role at this time.

Faith is obviously a terrifying double-edged sword that can be used to kill enemies or hurt oneself.

Isabella and his wife can use this as a tool to eradicate dissidents, and his enemies can use it against them as well.

And the Vatican, apparently, is a good collaborator.

The Vatican obviously has other intentions for Isabella's behavior of creating auspicious fortunes in Iberia and claiming to be the second kingdom.

So what would happen if such a surprising mixed-race child appeared at this time, pointing the finger at the ruling power of the royal families of the two countries?

How will the Vatican react?

Think about it, if this kind of thing really happens, even if it does not shake the foundation of the rule of the two royal families, it is enough to make Isabella and his wife scramble, and at that time, where can they still care about such a thing as "cutting the domain".

Even if they continued to act recklessly, it might anger the threatened nobles, and the appearance of Sister Alft could be the best reason for them to openly confront the couple.

Alexanda felt that he had roughly understood Don Bavi's plan, and he couldn't help but admit that this chess piece was really easy to use.

It's just that Don Bavi's actions made Alexander feel threatened as well.

The so-called "Moorish blood" was made public, although Isabella's bloodline and ruling law would be hit, but it was obvious that it also included Alexander himself, and even if this matter became intense, it would also form a huge obstacle to his claim to Castile in the future.

What if you try to throw this trouble on the Aragonese side, and say that this sudden appearance of Moorish characteristics is Ferdinand's pot?

As soon as this thought came to Alexander, it occurred to Alexander that Castile and Aragon seemed to be the same ancestor......

This is really embarrassing.

But then another thought flashed through him, and Alexander felt as if he had grasped something else that was equally crucial.

The reason why Count Mordillo was so obsessed with the rule of the Kingdom of Sicily was because his ancestors had been rulers of Sicily.

The original king of Aragon, Ferdinand I, not only robbed Sicily, but also divided a country in two to his two sons.

For Count Mordillo, perhaps it was his lifelong dream to recapture and unify the two Sicilies.

So, what if the Astamara family, who rule these two countries, loses the jurisprudence of ruling the kingdom?

Although she is now the regent of Naples, the reason why she can wear the crown is because she was once the queen of Naples, and even now, her status is to many people to rule Naples in the name of the queen.

Then there's a problem.

If one day the royal family of Aragon offered to send someone to marry Jisha in order to inherit the throne, it was reasonable and could not refuse.

Although the result of the so-called de jure claims is ultimately attributable to the density of the musket and the range of the cannon, it does not mean that these things are useless.

At least Alexander found it useful.

To Alexander's surprise, the Duke of Don Bavi was not at Fort Torre.

And he was equally surprised by the Duke's men, who, according to those men, had not left Bukhalanse for many years, especially after his bad legs, and had not even left the castle for a long time.

But not long after Alexander's departure, the Duke of Don Bavi ordered his men to pack up and leave the castle with his personal retinue and a detachment of guards.

But fortunately, he didn't just leave, and the Duke of Don left a text message and an address for Alexander.

"I beg your pardon Duke, I had to say goodbye for safety, I'm sure you've guessed some things, but not all, since you met Sister Alfurt. So if you want to know more, you can come to me. Of course, you have another option, tell the queen what you see, and you will be rewarded handsomely. But if you choose the former, come to Seville, where you can get the answer, just ring the bell of the bell tower of the Hiralda Tower of Seville Cathedral at noon every day and you will know what you want to know. ”
