While Ferdinand was racking his brains to find a way to deal with the nobles of Zaragoza, in Vallaridode, Alexandria was also suffering from a difficult problem.

Reports of the fighting at the front were frequent, from the initial encounter with the Aragon army near the dam on the upper Ebro River to Gonzalo's report that the coalition forces were struggling to break out of the floodplain and prepare to advance towards the western plateau of Aragon, the whole battle did not seem to be going as smoothly as originally thought.

This made the Barriaridods worried.

Many people are not very worried about the disadvantages of the war, but they are worried that the war may become a protracted quagmire.

The Iberian Peninsula has not been at war for more than a decade, and the long period of peace has allowed many people to adapt to the absence of gunfire.

Because of this, the rebellion in the south shook the court of Barriariddod.

However, the rebellion ended with an outcome acceptable to everyone, but the war between Rain and Aragon was different.

Aragon was an equally powerful nation, and the Astirrians began to fear that it would make the war between the two countries endless, and some older people remember the war from the Castilian Succession to the final Reconquista, but in the time of Isabella, the war lasted for almost two generations.

So when they heard that Gonzalo's advance was slow and that the war might drag on like this, some people began to complain that this was clearly inconsistent with the Queen's promise.

The complaints behind these have not yet appeared in front of the Alexander brothers and sisters, which means that at least the people's dissatisfaction has not reached the point of intolerability.

And not everyone was pessimistic about the war, some of the military aristocrats who were bored because they had been at peace for too long were happy, and even happier were those who felt that there was no hope of promotion in peacetime.

Now they want the war to be bigger so that they can have more opportunities.

For the war with Aragon, Alexander did not take any chances.

There is no doubt that Aragon is a powerful country, and it would be wishful thinking to be able to completely eliminate it in a very short time.

He knew that Tsusha would never plan this war with such unrealistic ideas, so although it seemed that the progress of the war was a little slow now, it should be expected.

So it wasn't these things that gave Alexander a headache.

Looking at the squinted eyes of the sha, who was sitting in the rocking chair opposite with a fine cup and eating sugar and candied fruit one by one, and seemed to feel very comfortable because of the sweet and sour taste, Alexander couldn't help but rub his forehead gently.

"I really didn't expect it," Alexander said without knowing whether he was happy or worried, "why didn't we do that before, but this time ......"

"That means it's time," said Tsuna, taking another bite of the preserves, and then narrowing her eyes again into a crooked crescent, and now she looked exactly like a greedy little girl than a queen and a commander, "Besides, aren't you happy?" ”

"Of course I'm glad, I'm glad I almost fainted when you told me yesterday," Alexander tapped his finger on the door of his head with some trepidation, "God, we were ...... That position is really dangerous. ”

"But you insisted on this at the time, didn't you," Jisha looked at Alexander with very serious eyes, and then she suddenly lowered her voice and asked with some curiosity, "Look at your skillful appearance, tell me if you and other women are often like this?" ”

Alexander raised his head and looked at him dumbfounded, he never thought that he would ask him such a question, his mind instinctively flashed quickly past the previous "experience", and even briefly assessed how he felt with every woman, and then he was a little surprised to find that it seemed that the most satisfying thing for him was actually Barondi.

Then he shook his head violently, forcing himself to face the problem in front of him.

The good and bad news that Josha was pregnant, as Josha herself said, was told to Alexander suddenly at a special time, in a special place, and in a special experience.

At that time, she said, "This can't be done, I'm pregnant." "Almost scared Alexander!

He immediately panicked and carefully put Jisha on the bed, and then stared blankly at his sister who was lying there looking at him smiling, and after a while, he suddenly began to spin around on the ground as if he was stunned, and then shouted outside: "Someone, female officer!" Shea! Where's you Wallachian idiot! ”

Alexander's shouting immediately alarmed many people, but the waitress seemed to be prepared, and she dismissed the attendants who had heard the news, leaving Schell with a few hunters to stand guard in the corridor outside the door, and then hurried into the room.

The lady-in-waiting breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the queen lying there unharmed, and then looked at Alexander, who had hurriedly put on his robe and stood aside, with a disgusted gaze.

Then she looked at the somewhat messy appearance in the room, and said with a little dissatisfaction: "Your Highness, please allow me to offensively remind you that Your Majesty's current situation is not suitable for too intense activities, so please restrain yourself a little." ”

The waitress's words left Alexander speechless, and he could only helplessly look at the lying there as if he thought it was funny.

Alexander didn't sleep well all night, he was busy with it in a panic, and for a moment he thought of Jisha as a delicate porcelain doll that could have an accident at the slightest touch.

This made Josa feel very fresh, especially when she just casually said that she wanted to eat honey preserves, and Alexander immediately asked her to look for it overnight, and Josa felt happy and slightly resentful at the same time.

He must have been so courteous to the other women, and the thought made Tsusha wonder a little, for she had never had such boring thoughts before. Well

"Now is really not the time," said Alexander, who sat across from him with a little worry, "I thought you should wait until you return to Naples or Sicily before you get pregnant, so that you can be best cared for in your own court, but now I am worried. ”

"You can rest assured," Jisha seemed to regain her majesty as queen at this time, "I have a strong army, which is enough to ensure my maximum safety, and I have a loyal retinue by my side, and the key is that for them only I am safe and sound, and their future will be won, so you don't have to worry at all." ”

Alexander nodded silently, he found that even though he was pregnant, he was still the sister he was familiar with, which was probably the reason why he always felt that he was his best friend.

"I will send Bellery to Barriaridud," said Josa, and when he saw that Alexander seemed bewildered, she reminded him in a whisper, "is my brother, the child born to my father and the maid, remember?" ”

"Of course," said Alexander, though he could barely remember the man, "I remember when you pulled the trigger with a musket at me without hesitation, and if I hadn't tampered with the gun earlier, we wouldn't be where we are now." ”

Thinking of the scene when the two first met, Ji Sha couldn't help but sigh a little, at that time, they would never have thought of this scene now, let alone that the two of them were planning for the future of their children.

"Boleri has been staying in Cosenza to help me take care of the territory, and I'm going to transfer him to my side to be the captain of my guard," Josha's hand unconsciously stroked his lower abdomen, "He will keep our mother and son safe, and he will also be a good uncle." ”

Alexander thought for a moment and then nodded slightly, he knew that Boleri and Josha had a deep relationship, and it should be reliable if he left Josha in his care.

Moreover, at this time, she was not even transferred from Naples and Sicily, but from her hometown of Cosenza, where she grew up, which shows that she also made the most cautious plans.

As her half-brother and servant, Bellery is undoubtedly the most suitable person.

The sudden pregnancy of the Queen of Sicily in the Styrian court, and the absence of the child's father, are enough to cause too many conjectures.

Some may only think that this is a ploy by Alexander, who is trying to impregnate the queen from nowhere, and may even think about influencing his neighbors as the uncle and godfather of the future king of Sicily.

And if the mind is a little more complicated, you will think of a conjecture that seems unlikely, but is really the only reasonable explanation.

This is bound to cause an uproar.

The Castilians might not admit the speculation out of all their scruples, but Alexander's enemies certainly took advantage of it.

Alexander had already thought of such a possibility, so he and Jisha had hoped for a better arrangement, but it really didn't seem that this kind of thing could be completely controlled by man.

Sometimes the passion that is completely ungraspable because of too much investment makes both people forget to take precautions, and such a new life is suddenly conceived in this situation.

"So let's face this little new problem."

After some 'joyful troubles', Alexander decided to face the reality, and he simply relaxed and began to think seriously about how to deal with this sudden situation, after all, there were other problems he had to face besides Jisha's pregnancy.

As a father of four, if nothing else, this could be the first time Alexander has experienced his own child from conception to birth.

He had decided that as long as the situation did not change irresistibly, he would not let Jisha leave his side.

Maybe it's really a little partial, he has never wanted to be by his woman's side like he is now, waiting for the moment when their child is born.

"When is Barendi coming to Barriaridord?"

It's just that Jisha's question made Alexander, who couldn't help but be secretly excited when he thought of these bright futures, suddenly deflated.

He glared at his sister, who was looking at his sister with playful eyes, with some annoyance, and then said helplessly, "I want her to come to Castile after the Austrian problem has been solved." ”

"Then maybe you won't be ready to be a father again before my child is born," said Tsusha as easily as if she wasn't talking about her own business at all, "I wonder if he or she will have a brother or sister, or should I be ready for the next battle for the throne now?" ”

Alexander's expression grew serious, and he knew that he was not saying this casually, whether as a Queen of Sicily or a future mother, he had to plan for the future rights of his children.

In the same way, Barendi is bound to think so.

And if you think about it carefully, it is likely that the descendants of Barendi and Jisha will cause disputes in this "big family" in the future.

Whether it's Sophia or Lucrezia, they all have their own futures that can be placed for their children, and even now they have a rough direction.

At the urging of the Queen of Bohemia, Sophia's son Alexandru would become her son-in-law, the future King of Bohemia and Hungary.

And Alexandra is being pulled by Ulliu, so she is likely to be a pair with the son of Akalina, the queen of Navarre.

And the relationship between Navarre and the French royal family is so complicated, which seems to give a new direction to the future of the Cambrai family.

As for Estelles and Giovanni Jr., Alexander wasn't very worried about the future of their siblings.

Pizza wasn't big, but it was enough for Lucrezia.

She was not born to be a ruler, but a woman who simply longed for love and romance, so it was enough for her to have a man she liked and lovely children.

As for the two siblings Estelles and little Giovanni, they have already been arranged.

Estelles could inherit Pisa and Florence, and then marry the young master of the Medici family, so that everyone could have a satisfactory result.

And little Giovanni, as far as Alexander knew, the child's grandfather had already arranged a bright future for his grandson.

Auxiliary bishop of Pisa, this is what Giovanni Jr. is today, and according to Alexander VI's arrangement, in the event of a vacancy in any diocese, Giovanni Jr. can immediately become the new cardinal.

It seems that there is nothing wrong with this, so the only trouble now is with Tsusha and Barondi.

These are two women who are both very intelligent and love Alexander, but they are also very ambitious.

And when it comes to the future of their children, the weight of love may not be worth the struggle for power.

So Alexander had no doubts about Josha's words, and if he couldn't make arrangements, a new battle for the throne might already be waged between the two women from now on.

"I said I would give you the most honorable crown in the world, and I will keep my word," Alexander said earnestly to Josa, "but I think maybe you could look a little further." ”

Alexander sat down beside Josha and took a bite of the green fruit she had fed him, and after suppressing the sour tooth-soft sensation, he continued, "Can you imagine a bigger world waiting for you and our children, I mean......"

"Your new world?" Jisha took another bite of the compote and interrupted him at the same time, "This is your arrangement, to exile our children to a far, uncivilized and barbaric land?" ”

"It's our new world," Alexander corrected slightly, "it's not a barbaric place, it's a place where you can do all sorts of miracles that have never been done before in this world, if you will." ”

Josa twisted slightly to look at Alexander, and after a while she asked in a tentative tone, "Are you not going to let my child inherit Aragorn, and you want to be king of Aragonese yourself?" ”

"No, it's my child," said Alexander earnestly, "we all know that the two kingdoms must be united, and our child, do you think it is really fit to establish his dynasty on the Continent of Europe?" ”

Ji Sha was slightly stunned, and the expression on her face turned slightly cold, but then she let out a soft sigh.

She knew that Alexander was right, that their children were not fit to stay in Europe.

If it was just an ordinary nobleman, Jisha believed that the power of the two of them was enough to ensure the happiness of the child's life.

They are able to make even the most malicious people dare not publicly denigrate his or her origins, and they can make him or her the most worthy prince and princess in Europe!

But if they want the child to become a monarch, then his or her background will undoubtedly be the biggest obstacle to his or her integration into the whole of Europe.

His or her external enemies will do their best to slander and slander, and the opposition at home will also take advantage of this.

Above all, the populace would be distracted by the unspeakable origins of their monarch, and at that time, even if Giovanni the Younger became the third pope of the Borgia family, as Alexander VI had hoped, it was not unreasonable to worry about how he would react.

A man who is not tolerated by all cannot stand, and a monarch who is not tolerated by all nations cannot be the enemy of the whole of Europe.

Even if this monarch is the ruler of the "new Alexander Empire".

"You've been thinking about this for a long time, haven't you?" "You knew from the beginning that it was impossible for our children to stay in Europe, so you did everything you could to open up your new world, in order to one day send your own children to such a distant place?" ”

"It's not my new world," Alexander shook his head, "it's our children, everything there, the wealth of the land, and the people, are invaluable to anyone who wants to build a new dynasty on the land, and I will lay the strongest foundation for our children with my own hands." ”

Josha frowned slightly, she was not angry at Alexander for admitting all this, but seriously and calmly considering whether all this was really so unchangeable.

Alexander didn't bother him, he knew it would be difficult for her to admit it, but he also believed that Eliza would be able to see the point.

The Queen of Sicily was smart and beautiful, and she was almost the most desired woman for the male aristocracy of all of Europe in this era.

To others, though, her charm was her stature, power, and perhaps her unrivalled looks, but only Alexander knew that all of this was only the unimportant part of Josha's many virtues.

Her real charm lies in her intelligence and long-term vision compared to most people.

Her ingenuity has been used to rule the kingdom and seize the opportunity to win on the battlefield, and her vision has led her to find a man who is unique in the world.

And this man also found her among the crowds.

"A new world?" Jossa looked at Alexander, then took a spoon and scooped a piece of candied fruit into her mouth, and said slowly, "Tell me what kind of place it is, I know you've always dreamed of going there one day, but now I want to listen carefully." ”

Alexander smiled, knowing that Shosha might not have accepted the idea of "exile" their child to a completely alien land, but she was still willing to calmly consider the possibility.

This is the woman I like, Alexander said proudly in his heart, a true queen.

"Okay, where do you start?" Alexander thought about it for a moment and decided to tell his sister a story about the Vikings: "Around the ninth century, the Vikings began to cross the ice and invade Scotland, and they soon occupied the northern coast of Scotland and then invaded inland, but some of them continued to sail westward until one day they reached a distant land that they had never been before......"

The night was dark, and the whole palace was immersed in silence, except for the footsteps of the hunters standing guard from time to time, the surroundings were so quiet.

Sher walked up the steps to the entrance of the hallway, looked at the two closed doors at the end of the hallway, and then quietly backed back.

He looked back at the waitress who was standing there motionless, but always staring at him, shrugged and wanted to say something, but as soon as she opened her mouth, the waitress had already uttered a concise and bright single tone in a tone that was completely irrefutable: "Phew! ”

Schell looked at the waitress dumbfounded, he first felt that he had been greatly insulted, but for a while he was at a loss, just when he moved his chin in astonishment and was about to question, the waitress had already given him a fatal blow again: "Phew! ”

Schell immediately threw off his armor and fled in disarray, and he hurried through the garden until he felt that he could no longer hear the "phew" that overwhelmed him, and then he stopped and gasped and stared at the roses in the flowerbed in front of him.

Oh my God, the queen is pregnant, who did it?!

Schell could well imagine that the entire city of Barriaridud would be boiling over this exciting news early tomorrow morning, which made him feel instantly stressed.

"The palace must be guarded immediately, the Sicilians must be mobilized, and I hope that the cuirassiers will not only be a good thing, but also the food that will be brought into the palace, which will be related to the safety of the future little prince and princess......"

Schell stood there alone and kept nagging to himself, he wanted to use this method to keep himself from losing his temper because of that woman, but he stopped talking to himself like this for a while, staring at the flower bed in front of him, and finally couldn't help but curse angrily: "Damn woman!" ”

In October 1502, a news that shook everyone quickly spread throughout Iberia.

The Queen of Sicily is pregnant!

There are all kinds of speculations about who the father of the child is, and this has aroused great interest.

So compared to this news, the battle between the Cassie coalition and the Aragonese army in the upper reaches of the Ebro River in northwest Aragon is less remarkable.

It was at this time that Gonzalo launched an unexpected attack on the Aragonese!
