Alexander's gift was actually two, one was Normezi, Count of Julipe, and the other was the news of the queen's death.

As for the first gift, she was a little curious, because she knew that Alexander must have his intention to bring the rebellious Normezi back alive, and why this person was a gift to her, she was a little puzzled.

As for the second gift, it was too timely for it to be delivered.

The queen's rebellion was so quickly quelled that many Neapolitans did not even know that their queen was preparing a palace coup d'état, and then she was quickly suppressed and imprisoned, not to mention the queen's sudden disappearance.

So when the news of the queen's death suddenly spread from the palace, many people couldn't help but be surprised because of the surprise.

Of course, the queen's reputation was neither good enough to make the people sad and painful, nor bad enough for her death that people took to the streets, in fact, after the accident, Naples lamented more that the royal family did not know what kind of curse it had encountered, and there were accidents one after another.

Of course, there were also people who talked about it in private, and it seems that it began when Alfred was about to marry the Countess of Cosenza, and some even turned the death of the royal tailor Oriol in the ditch at the back door of the brothel as evidence, but this discussion was only whispered in private, and soon some of the people who chewed their tongues were suddenly arrested, and when they were arrested, they were told that they had been reported, and many of the people who reported them were the same people who had been the most lively with them.

"As you say......"

This phrase became for a moment a terrible word that made the Neapolitans tremble when they heard it, because those who liked to report quietly always pretended to be casual and mingled in the places where some people liked to gossip around, and after a while they would find an opportunity to join in the discussion, and then they would start with the phrase "as you say......", and then lead the conversation in some indescribable, or somewhat dangerous direction.

For example, the prince and princess do not seem to be so affectionate, for example, the king seems to be a little too strangely ill, and there is also the question of whether Count Mordillo is considered the most powerful chief minister in the history of the Kingdom of Naples, and the fact that the Count of Montina and his lovely sister seem to be a little too close, there are not many people who dare to discuss it openly, but the more this happens, the more people actually want to get to the bottom of the matter.

In short, the Neapolitans had a night of fear, for no one could guarantee that they had not talked about the royal family, the count, or the brother and sister, and according to the officials of the newly established 'Anti-Wind Office', headed by the Seal of Honour Leoford, "Unless you don't speak, we will always find a charge for you." ”

The Anti-Trend Office, which stands for Office Against Bad Customs, is a completely new institution, or rather, Count Modillo's reward for his support to the Seal Officer, Leoford.

Leoford was pleased with his new job, especially with the power to make up accusations against those whom he had long disliked at his own will, and he finally felt the great power of power.

And according to Alexander, the ghost of Savonarola seems to have drifted from Florence to Naples.

In any case, the death of the queen shook the Neapolitan royal family hard, but in general it was only "shocked".

At this time, it is discovered that Alfred has avoided it, and just when there is suspicion as to why the prince refused to show up when he heard that his mother was ill, Josa appeared in front of the people.

She had taken off her splendid costume, and although she had never worn it except on the day of her wedding, she could often be seen going in and out in a hunting suit that resembled the wilderness, but this time she was dressed in all black.

Just looking at her oppressive black, I don't know why, many people have a feeling that she is mourning her husband in advance not so much for her dead mother-in-law.

Frederick and Alfred's father and son actually felt unwell one after another, which really frightened many people. After all, they can't forget that just a few years ago, King Alfonso and Ferdinand fell ill and then died, and even earlier, Alfonso and Frederick's father, Ferdinand and Alfred's grandfather, Ferdinand I, had died not long ago.

In just five or six years, the royal family has died one after another, from grandfather to grandson, and the tragic events of three kings have made Neapolitans tremble.

Just think about it, if Frederick's father and son had three more longs and two shorts, then who else would inherit the throne of Naples?

Should it be inherited by Chassan, the illegitimate daughter of King Alfonso, the widow of the Pope's eldest son, Giovanni, or one of her brothers, if so......

At the thought of this possibility, the Neapolitan nobles began to feel uneasy.

When Ferdinand had just returned to Naples and died soon after the restoration, it was proposed that another child of King Alfonso, Ferdinand's half-brother Alfonso, Duke of Billy Shelly, would inherit the throne, but it was Alfonso's younger brother Frederick who eventually became King of Naples.

Among them, the Neapolitan aristocracy chose to support Frederick instead of Billy Shelly's Alfonso, and now if Frederick's father and son really do have an accident, then Billy Shelly's Duke Alfonso is likely to inherit the throne, and at that time, it is conceivable how he will treat these people who once supported Friedrich.

From the time the news of the queen's death broke, the nobles came and went to the king's room more frequently, some in the name of reporting various affairs to the princess, and some simply came to inquire directly about the king's father and son, and at the same time they also spied on the attitude of the king's father and son in various ways, both secretly and explicitly.

After all, what the "queen behind Naples" thinks plays a key role.

But it was clear that she was unconcerned about the temptations of the Neapolitan aristocracy, for she herself was facing a crisis of great importance that she had never imagined before.

"You mean, an envoy sent by King Ferdinand of Aragon assassinated the queen?" Zhisa looked at Normezi, who was sitting in the chair across from her, with a look of wonder if she didn't care anymore or mocked.

"That's right, Her Royal Highness the Princess, it's that Ferdinand, he has coveted the crown of Naples for a long time, but it's exciting to think about, the crown of the two Sicilies, since the French divided Sicily in half in the 13th century, no one has been able to completely unify Sicily." "If Ferdinand had done it, he would have been destined to be the most noteworthy man in the history of Sicily." ”

"Yes, he did, and not only in great books, but in a series of articles he was regarded as the greatest monarch in the history of the Kingdom of Sicily." Alexander whispered to himself, noticing the gaze that Josha was throwing at him, and waved his hand for Normezi to stop first, and then he looked at Josha: "Now that you know what's going to happen, what are you going to do?" ”

"I don't know," said Josa, a little dazed, but then her eyes cleared, and she thought for a moment and looked at Normezi, who was sitting opposite her, smiling, and pointed at Alexander and said, "You didn't bring him back just to ask him to tell me these things himself." ”

Alexander smiled with satisfaction, knowing that his sister would not panic and even forget what was really important when she heard the bad news.

"We need someone to get the word out."

Seeing that Tsusha looked puzzled, Alexander stood up and motioned for her to walk out of the room together.

In the corridor, she looked at both ends, and suddenly raised her hand to take Alexander's face and look at it carefully, and then said in a very serious tone: "Uncle hopes that we can have a child as soon as possible, and he is very dissatisfied that you have not shown the slightest interest in me. ”

"I must say that we have a good uncle," Alexander sighed heartily, and then whispered as he paced slowly down the corridor with Josha in his arms, "If something happens to Frederick and his son, and Alfonso of Billy Shelli does not succeed to the throne, who do you think is most likely to be king of Naples?" ”

She thought for a moment, her expression slowly became serious, and she couldn't help but slow down because of her deep thought, so Alexander let go of his hand and stopped, looking at him from behind as he walked slowly forward while thinking.

"Frederick and Ferdinand of Aragon were uncles and brothers, they had the same grandfather, they were both kings of Aragon and grandsons of King Ferdinand I of Sicily, and if Ferdinand really wanted to annex Naples, he would have had the right to claim it."

As she spoke, her face became slightly ugly, and she felt that she was not only facing a strong enemy, but also that her part-time job was like a farce.

After spending so much energy and paying all kinds of costs, he suddenly realized that what he did was actually paving the way for another, and thinking that if Frederick's father and son really had an accident, Ferdinand of Aragon could accept it all effortlessly, and Ferdinand felt that his chest was swollen, as if something was about to explode.

Alexander walked over and patted Josha lightly on the shoulder, he could feel her body trembling slightly, which made him understand that it was best not to provoke this terrible sister at this time.

"That's it for me to bring that Normezi back, so if you don't want to waste your time angry, listen to me," Alexander whispered to Quesha to calm down, "All we have to do now is sabotage Ferdinand's plans, but before that we have to make sure of one thing, and that is whether we can fully control Naples." ”

Alexander's words calmed her down instantly, and she walked to a marble bench and sat down, looking at the figures on the opposite wall who were prostrate on the ground with very different expressions, her eyes flickering, and then she nodded slowly but firmly.

"We can get hold of Napoli and I can guarantee that everyone here will eventually be on our side, because there is no more powerful threat than to make them rich and down, and they will even choose to follow us for even the slightest chance, but you know that this is before there is no greater threat."

Alexander nodded in agreement, and it was clear that if Ferdinand of Aragon really overwhelmed the border, the Neapolitans would have defected immediately, just as they had made the decision so quickly to choose Frederick over Alfonso of Billy Silly to succeed to the throne.

"We need to make the Neapolitans understand that if they choose Ferdinand, they have too much to lose, and we need someone who can help us fight this strong opponent together."

"Who, who else can stand against the Aragonese?" Jisha asked first, and then a thought quickly flashed through her mind: "You can't be looking for a Frenchman, are you?" ”

"You are really my wisest and sweetest sister," said Alexander, reaching out to hold her up and spun her in circles, "You guessed it, let's go find the French." ”

Josha looked at Alexander in a daze, and didn't even say anything when he put her down, but just looked at him silently.

"Why, do you think my idea is unrealistic?" Alexander asked disapprehensively at the apparently suspicious look of Josa, seeing that Josa nodded silently and then looked at him silently, Alexander could only explain, "What do you think Louis would do if he heard from a Neapolitan nobleman that Ferdinand was trying to take advantage of his bitter battle with the others to get ahead of him?" ”

Josa imagined it, and although she didn't want to admit it, she couldn't help but accept Alexander's conjecture.

"He will be very angry, and he may even give up entanglement with his opponents in Lombardy, after all, his purpose is Naples, and he is also sending troops under the pretext of inheriting Charles's long-cherished wish to seize the crown of Naples, so he cannot give up Naples in name or interest."

Alexander nodded lightly as he listened, he couldn't help but admire Jisha faithfully at this time, it can be said that what Jisha lacks more than him is only the foresight of the future, and whether it is wisdom or the grasp of people's hearts, as he tempers Jisha has become more and more like a real queen.

"So it would be very advantageous for us to provoke a fight between Charles and Ferdinand," said Jossa who seemed to be immersed in speculation about the future of Naples, as she walked up and down in front of Alexander, sometimes bowing her head and whispering and sometimes pausing to say a few words with a little excitement, so engrossed that she even forgot that it was in the hallway.

So when Schell saw Her Royal Highness the princess at the exit at the end of the corridor excitedly pounced into the arms of the lord because she had figured something out, and then actually kissed him on the lips, the Balkans couldn't help but turn pale with fright and sweat coldly.

"Oh my God, what did I see, what a terrible afternoon." The sweaty Balkan stood at the door of the corridor and stared around in fear, and then he felt his heart almost frightened, and saw the uncle of the Earl and His Royal Highness the Princess walking over slowly, "God, it's over, this will be dead." ”

Schell stood motionless on the steps of the doorway, watching the old man's uncle look at him suspiciously as he walked up the steps, and Schell suddenly opened his arms to block Count Mordillo.

"I'm sorry, sir, but it's not convenient for you to go over now." Scheer's tone was calm, but his attitude seemed unquestionable, and looking at the count's visibly stunned expression, Scheer was ready to be whipped.

However, Schell thinks that this should be enough to alarm the brother and sister inside, and as long as the master can hear it, things will not become out of control.

It's just that what Scheer didn't expect was that the Earl, who originally thought that he would definitely react violently, was stunned at first, and then stood on tiptoe slightly, as if he wanted to look over the Balkan people's shoulders and look into the corridor, but he gave up this idea before Schell stopped it, and the Earl first looked up at the sleepy afternoon sky, and then looked around at the palace courtyard where Changming was known, and then suddenly smiled in a low voice and turned to leave.

Looking at the count's back, Schell looked puzzled at first, then he opened his mouth as if he suddenly understood something, and then immediately pressed his mouth firmly with his hand.

"Oh my God, the Catholic circle is really messy."

Josha snuggled into Alexander's arms, her lips pressed to his ear and kept talking, she didn't mean to talk to Alexander like this, but they were talking too much!

France, Aragon, the Holy Roman Empire, and the Italian city-states on the Apennine Peninsula, jutting out into the Mediterranean, were about to embark on a long war, and she did not know that if everything did not change, even if she lived a long life, she would probably not see the end of the war in her lifetime.

At the same time, all those who will participate in this war will not know what kind of wonderful changes will take place in the 66-year-long Italian war, which will later be known as the Little World War, thanks to the afternoon secret conversation between a brother and sister in the corridors of the royal palace of Naples.

"We need someone to deliver the letter for us," Josha seemed to feel a little uncomfortable, so she adjusted her sitting position, and looked at Alexander as he seemed to be a little uncomfortable and moved and licked her dry lips, she deliberately pretended not to pay attention and continued, "Who do you think is the most suitable, speaking of which, I think Mahimo is very suitable for this, but now it is impossible, maybe you should let your Moors work harder?" ”

"Uliu has just returned to Montina," Alexander smiled bitterly, he had already guessed that Josha must have done it on purpose, just thinking about Leoford, who was going around to catch up on bad customs, he thought it was better to be honest and safe, "And he is not suitable, but isn't there a good candidate right now, why don't we use him?" ”

"You're not going to let that Normezy do it?" Although she had already thought of Alexander's purpose in keeping that Normezi, the matter was so important that she could not help but be suspicious of the Count Julipe.

"If it's just a word, then he's the most suitable," Alexander said slowly, looking at the door of the room where Normezi was staying, "but if he wants to do something stupid, then let him go, believe me, I know Louie, he's not a man who can be easily tricked," Alexander smiled at this point, "but only if it depends on who that person is." ”
