In the depths of the palace garden, Alexander's eyes were staring at the close in front of him, even though he had calmed down from the initial surprise, he still looked surprised because he didn't expect it.

Jossa was pleased with Alexander's expression, but she was busy cleaning up her clothes that looked a little messy.

The news that the Queen of Sicily had entered Ariaridod would soon spread, and it was believed that someone had already heard the news and rushed to the palace, and she didn't want people to see her like this, so she hurriedly wanted to clean up as soon as possible, and she didn't bother to listen to Alexander's intimate words that made her blush.

"You should be glad I didn't wear those particularly troublesome clothes for the sake of mobility, otherwise someone would have known what we just did by this time," Josha grumbled slightly, then smiled again, "but I'm still happy with you, and I know that those Castilian women didn't succeed by looking at you now." ”

Alexander's words made Alexander laugh softly, and he wanted to tell him that men are always dissatisfied in some way, even if they have tasted the sweetness of other women, but they will still look hungry when they should be like hungry wolves who are not fed.

However, he was obviously not stupid enough to be this kind, and the two of them had indeed lost too much time, which inevitably seemed a little urgent.

The sudden appearance of the Queen of Sicily at the royal palace came as a surprise to the nobles of Babiaridotus.

Their preparations for the queen were disrupted all at once, and even worse, because they didn't know why the queen was secretly entering the city, which caused some people to think wildly and even scramble.

Alexander didn't expect that Tsusha's impulsive actions would cause some unexpected changes, and he was surprised that someone in the city had suddenly disappeared, and then he couldn't help laughing at Tsusha.

Several ministers standing in front of Alexander looked at the prospective king helplessly, they also did not expect that someone would show his feet because he was worried and afraid, and now it seems that the queen's quiet entry into the city was purely a whim, which can be seen from the fact that the queen did not bring many retinues.

It's just that many people probably really can't believe that this is just a sister's unauthorized act because of her brother's thoughts, after all, the Queen of Sicily's reputation is outside, whether it is the war with the French, the unification of Sicily or the amazing victory outside Seville, it is difficult to imagine that this queen would do such a willful thing like a little girl.

"People always like to speculate on others with all kinds of conjectures, and they don't think that maybe the simplest answer is right in front of their eyes." Alexander shook his head with a little emotion, he was not surprised that someone was hostile to him, but he was a little speechless to expose himself in such a way.

"Your Highness," said Don Abuhwa, frowning, and although he had sworn allegiance publicly, there were still some necessary scruples to be taken into account before the official coronation, so people still addressed Alexander as Regent, "and at this time we should immediately send someone to hunt down the fugitives." ”

Alexander glanced at the president of the court and waved his hand slightly: "No, what reason do you want me to arrest them, is it because my sisters suddenly came into the city to visit me, and they happened to be out of the city, so I declared them criminals on such charges?" ”

The president of the court wanted to say something more, but it seemed that Alexander really didn't want to pursue those people anymore, and after a little consideration, he finally didn't say anything more.

Hoharbinagaros stood by and watched silently, and since several disappointing actions, the civil magistrate could clearly sense Alexander's indifference towards him.

This led the civil affairs officer to decide to re-examine his previous apparently ill-conceived actions.

Holbinagaros was a man who could learn from his mistakes, and he quickly realized the reason for his previous missed opportunities, and he knew that if he didn't change his impression in the Regent's mind soon, his place would likely be replaced by many newcomers.

Don Carpendi's failure to come with him to Barriaridud began to make Hohohar secretly happy with Nagaros, but now he began to worry that perhaps the warden might be the first to threaten his position.

The two giants and the three nobles were Alexander's greatest supporters in the Castilian court today, and the status and importance established by the peaceful march made them more transcendent than any other nobleman.

Even Don Cappendi is slightly inferior to them.

But that doesn't mean their position is irreplaceable.

Holbinagaros felt that he should be more cautious, so he paid more attention to the Regent's every move than the others.

To his surprise, he soon discovered that the regent seemed to be genuinely pleased with the queen's arrival.

To the civil officer's confusion, in his imagination, the seemingly close relationship between the two brothers and sisters was more due to the combination of interests, but now it seems that this is not the case.

This was a new discovery made by the civil magistrate, and he felt that perhaps some of the previous conjectures had been wrong, and as the regent himself said, perhaps the simplest answer was at hand.

Because there were many people who shared his thoughts, there were all kinds of speculations about the arrival of the Queen of Sicily, and there were even speculations that the Prince Regent might not be willing to see the queen's hard-line attitude in Castile.

Therefore, after some deliberation, some people considered whether they should show the Sicilians a little bit of Castilian toughness, perhaps just so as to satisfy the regent, who was not in a position to show his true thoughts.

Holbinagaros had thought so before, and he even thought that if he could openly rub the queen's majesty at the right opportunity, he might be able to appeal to Alexander's heart.

But the new discovery made him feel as if he needed to change his mind.

"Your Highness, allow me to make an objection," said the civil officer, stepping forward and looking at the people in astonishment, "it is not appropriate for Her Majesty to enter into the completion in such a way, it is detrimental to Your Majesty's status, so I think it is still appropriate to hold a grand welcoming ceremony." ”

Holbinagaros's words surprised several Castilian ministers, who were also surprised by the Queen's sudden appearance in the palace, but in fact secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The steps Alexander had described to them to welcome the Queen of Sicily had made them hesitate, since the Sicilians had been annoyed enough by the defeat of Gonzalo in Seville, and the change in circumstances had made the Sicilians allies, but that did not mean that there was no hostility towards them.

Therefore, Alexander had to greet the Queen of Sicily and her army with such a grand ceremony, which made the Castilian nobles feel a little uncomfortable.

Now that the queen had suddenly appeared inexplicably, they wondered if they might be able to change the form of the greeting, at least the solemn process of welcoming the conqueror might persuade the regent to take a few steps.

But what's going on?

Holbinagaros actually took the initiative to hold a grand welcome ceremony, and this was proposed by him as an administrator, which made many people wonder if Holbinagaros had become a little abnormal because of the repeated setbacks during this time.

But Alexander's reaction suddenly made people realize that maybe the administrator had finally got the right pulse this time.

"That's it, it's a bit tedious, but my sister deserves such a grand welcome."

Alexander's answer, not in a consultative but entirely decisive tone, shook people's hearts, and some people could not help but look at the magistrate in surprise, and it was only then that they realized that it was the magistrate who had guessed exactly what the regent was thinking.

Asha looked at the Castilian people with amusement, this was the first time she had officially dealt with these Castilian nobles.

She found that these people had very different characteristics from the Neapolitan or Sicilian.

Perhaps because they have been influenced by the Moors for many years, the Iberian moods tend to seem more subtle than the slightly rougher and simpler ways of the Sicilians, but they seem to have more extreme impulses in their bones.

"I will let my cuirassiers enter the city on time," said Jossa to the Castilian nobles, who noticed that some of their faces had sunk slightly after hearing her words, but she ignored them and continued, "My guards will protect my royal carriage as it reaches the cathedral, but the rest of my army will be on standby outside the city." ”

His words surprised the ministers, who had been ugly, and they all looked to Alexander for some inspiration from the regent.

Alexander also watched the comings and goings between the ministers and the Cissa, and he could understand the mixed feelings of these people as Castilians towards the Chessa.

Strictly speaking, as a normal future ruler of Castile, he should have had the mixed feelings of gratitude and jealousy, and even some hatred, for the Sicilians and the Hussa that he had for foreign supporters.

It's just that it's a little difficult for him, and he also wants the Castile people to know clearly that the relationship between him and the Queen of Sicily is sincere, because it is also related to the fact that they are about to face Ferdinand at the same time.

At that time, the two armies would form a real alliance, and Alexander had even figured out who would be the commander of this army.

A loud trumpet spread from the Porte Antoine to the Basilica of Vallaridaud, and whenever the trumpet was about to fall, the next trumpeter would continue to blow the trumpet to the tune of the man in front of him.

This is a unique Castilian ritual, inherited from the earlier tribal times, as a solemn ritual used to greet the most distinguished guests, who are said to have accompanied the guests from the edge of the tribal territory to their destination.

Castile hadn't seen such a trumpet ceremony for many years, and the last time it was so pompous was when the capital was moved to Barriariddod, when Isabella and his wife officially entered the city for the first time.

The marching ranks of cuirassiers, their armor glistening in the sun, the beautiful red feathers on their helmets fluttering in the wind, the delicate sabers and mounted muskets specially designed for cuirassiers, and the saddles made for cuirassiers, made to look so different and fierce.

Many people could not help but think of the defeat of Seville when they saw these weapons, so the Bagliaridodians who stood on the side of the road and watched this army had mixed feelings, and some of them showed obvious hostility because of their emotions.

The cuirassiers, perceiving the faintly hostile gaze, quickly tightened their formation, and with the officer's command, which only they understood, the grenadiers gathered the Queen's carriage in the middle in a advancing defensive formation.

The Cathedral of Ariaridod was already in sight, and what people didn't expect was that Alexander was already waiting there in advance.

Around the Cathedral Square, the dense crowd had already surrounded the square, and the atmosphere was somewhat oppressive, and someone whispered in a low voice, which was immediately interrupted by the person next to him.

Some of the nobles stood not far behind Alexander in a state of apprehension, and even Horbinagaros, who had proposed the ceremony, had already regretted it.

He could clearly sense the unstable mood of the people in the square, some of them excited, some of them confused, and some of them were obviously very unhappy with the arrival of the Sicilians.

"You've done a good job." The tax collector Moradato, who was standing next to Horbinagaros, said indignantly to the administrator, "I want to warn you, if something happens next, I don't think everyone will mind letting you come out as a scapegoat." ”

The corners of Holbinagaros' eyes twitched slightly, and he looked to the side of Don Bandraz, who was standing slightly in the front.

As if sensing the sheriff's fleeing eyes for help, Don Banderaz turned his head slightly to glance at him, but then turned back again.

Holbinagaros felt a chill begin to run on his body, not because of the autumn changes, but because the cold sweat had penetrated his clothes.

A little farther away, a Castilian nobleman was whispering to the president of the court: "I heard that Don Capendi is very proud in Madrid now, and some even call him the new mayor of Madrid, right?" ”

"Don't believe these rumors," Don Abuhwa said after saying it, but he changed his mind again, "but His Highness obviously trusts the Warden of the Prison, and I have heard that he is very satisfied with His Majesty the Pope, so you know ......"

Listening to the words of the court president, the nobleman nodded understandingly, and then whispered to invite the court president to gather at the famous red house when he had time.

In the distance, there was a commotion in the direction of the Porte Antoine, and although it was still far away, it was like a wave from the sea, rolling towards the square.

It was immediately realized that this was supposed to be the arrival of the convoy of the Queen of Sicily.

Despite mixed feelings about the queen and her army, intense curiosity prevailed.

The young, beautiful, brave and wise queen, which is irresistible for both nobles and commoners, is enough to make people have a great curiosity about the Queen of Sicily.

And the miraculous experiences of Jisha before are even more talked about.

Some people even think that if the Castilian army is defeated at the hands of such a legendary queen, it does not seem to be a shame, or even a kind of pride, of course, most people who think like this do not dare to declare this idea, but this does not prevent them from wanting to see the queen with great interest.

The appearance of the cuirassiers caused an exclamation, and the tall and mighty soldiers and handsome and upright uniforms attracted countless eyes full of envy and jealousy.

The silent eyes of the men contrasted sharply with the screams of the women, especially as several carefully selected cuirassiers, urging their horses forward into the square at the front of the line at near-uniform paces, many of the women were already out of breath with excitement.

Looking at this scene, the corners of Alexander's mouth turned up slightly, he didn't expect Jisha to carry out his description of the army that has always had charm so thoroughly.

Obviously, it doesn't matter how well these highly decorative honor guards fare in battle, but they are good enough to win the favor of most people with their handsome and mighty appearance.

All the cuirassier hurried around the square, their tall horses facing the crowd, all holding the reins in one hand and the other on the side of the holsters hanging from the saddles, intentionally or unintentionally.

These were veterans of the Battle of Seville, some of whom had even accompanied the then Countess on an expedition to the Balkans, and it was because of their protection that Alexander was relieved to decide to openly greet Jossa in the square of the Basilica in Valaridoud.

The carriage came to a slow stop, and the door opened amid the gazes of countless pairs of eyes full of various emotions.

First, a female officer slowly got out of the carriage with the support of the maid, and then the Queen of Sicily, who was waiting for everyone, stepped out of the carriage.

The moment they saw Jisha, the people in the square couldn't help but be surprised!

To everyone's surprise, the Queen of Sicily was not wearing a palace dress, but wearing gorgeous armor and holding a command scepter inlaid with precious stones and ornate carvings.

The sun shone on the square of the cathedral, and the crisp autumn breeze blew through the blonde hair of the man in front of the carriage.

She raised her head slightly to look at the sky, which made the jewel in the crown above her head glow with several dazzling rays of light.

Then she looked at Alexander in the distance, and many people noticed the warm smile on her face.

As she walked forward, all eyes were on her, and there was no doubt that the most dazzling thing in the square at this moment was the beautiful figure of the Queen of Sicily.

Alexander took two steps forward and then stopped, looking at the approaching Josha, his arms slightly outstretched.

Seeing this scene, many people secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The regent, who was supposed to salute the queen, gave the two sides an equal place with a hug, much to the relief of the Castilians.

According to the previous arrangement, the bell tower of the Cathedral of Ariaridod was supposed to start ringing at this time.

But before the loud bell rang, the Queen of Sicily was seen making a move that surprised everyone.

The queen stopped, holding the command scepter in both hands and offering it to the regent, while the queen's slender white neck like a swan was slightly lowered, and the crown was slightly tilted towards the regent and bowed deeply.

There was a sudden silence in the square, and then suddenly there was a thunderous cheer!

At the same time, the bell rang, and the loud bell resounded through the square, and the earth-shattering cheers instantly merged into a fierce wave like a tide.

In the cheers, Alexander stepped forward, he did not hesitate to hold Josha tightly in his arms, looking at the beautiful eyes that were close to him, he lowered his head and kissed her cheek, and said in Josha's ear: "This is all I can give you now, but my sister I promise you that one day you will have a world." ”
