According to the inheritance system, Sofia Alessandra Valleoho, the Grand Duchess of the Duchy of Wallachia, inherited the crown of the Grand Duke of Wallachia, which meant that her status was lower than that of King Helva of Croatia, both nominally and substantively, although as a monarch in front of the battle, whether it was a noble king or an ordinary peasant soldier, he would face danger and even death, but this difference in status would somewhat make the lower status of the less passive, politically and diplomatically.

And in the same way, whether it is the basis and the name or the substance, Wallachia is also under the shadow of the crown of the Holy Roman Empire, so when Alexander shouts the slogan that many people do not understand, the few who can understand it suddenly look strange.

The king and the archduke, these are completely different identities, although they are both Wallachian, but the change of status brings about the change of the whole country is bound to be unimaginable.

The meaning of Alexander's words soon spread through the hall, and there was at once a small commotion, and both the Wallachians and the Greeks were surprised and unusually excited, and they did so for several different reasons, but each of them seemed to them to be unbelievable and exciting.

Relations with neighboring countries can become more flexible and favorable as Wallachia's status rises, and there will be many positive changes internally, as well as the question of Alexander's status.

The equal status of Sophia, coupled with his status as the father of Wallachia's future heir, makes Alexander's position in Wallachia seem detached, even threatening, and once Sophia is likely to become queen, the gap between the two positions will be reflected, and even if Sophia may die early in the future, although as a father, he can no longer be so condescending in front of the future king.

The idea is still fleeting in the minds of a few, but the thought of it is enough to be excited. It's just that this is a well-thought-out plan, or just Alexander's whim, which makes it unclear to those present, and it makes many people feel as if there is a small hand scratching at it.

People began to talk about the true meaning of Alexander's slogan, and as more and more people knew the meaning of it, no one in the hall cared about how the trial without the defendant would continue, but all of them were talking about the chant that made them think about it.

The trial ended without a hitch, but the trial still passed an important resolution, because there was no confession of Morko, the main criminal, so it was also impossible to define Aloxia's crime, but her involvement in a terrible murder plot was conclusive, so for the sake of fairness, Aloxia will not be allowed to leave Wallachia until the case is completely cleared up.

This seemed to everyone to be an indefinite captivity, and although it seemed unfair to Aloxia, it was generally believed that this was the best outcome, because not many people wanted to see a war break out with Croatia, and in the eyes of the Wallachians, the treatment of Aloxia was a good example of Sophia's flexibility as the Grand Duke, which made them secretly relieved.

The Wallachians were not worried about Sophia's clever rule, because that would also mean that she already knew how to deal with the relations between the different ethnic groups and interests in the country, but they feared that Sophia was completely arrogant and unprincipled in her role as a so-called Greek princess, and that Wallachia would inevitably be divided in a major way.

Now that His Royal Highness the Grand Duke had "finally grown up," the Wallachians could not help but secretly rejoice, knowing that it was impossible for Alexander to stay in Wallachia for long, and as soon as he left, they believed that the Grand Duke would soon be able to gradually accept the advice made to her by the Wallachians because of the needs of her rule.

The trial ended in a strange way, and the investigation of the remnants of Chipes had only just begun, and although it made the Wallachians think that there might be some trouble, except for the nobles who were close to the Chippes, no one cared so much about the matter.

In addition, Sophia's act of tearing down the flags in anger during the trial has also caused many people to speculate, and with the shocking phrase "Long live the king!" some people have begun to speculate whether there will be some changes in Wallachia in the future.

Alexander was glad that although Sophia's actions were really just an outburst of pure anger from people attacking each other, he saw in it the heart of a monarch.

Sophia's behavior has no more meaning at all is actually what many monarchs have been eager to achieve, the aristocracy has too much power, and even can compete with the monarch, which has always been a headache for European monarchs, Britain and France have had monarchs coerced and even coerced by the aristocratic group, England's Magna Carta made King John lose face, and the isolation of the island of Paris for many years made the French king unable to leave the city of Paris, The first thing the emperors of the Holy Roman Empire thought about when they ascended the throne was how to appease the German princes who were more rebellious than the other, and this phenomenon for many years made all monarchs face a very difficult and huge problem, how to weaken the power of the nobles.

Although Sophia's actions seem reckless, Alexander sees in them her determination to be held back by the nobility, which makes Alexander both surprised and delighted, because it may be a bit troublesome in the future, but it also means that it is not impossible for Sophia to truly rule the country.

What's more, there is also him supporting her behind the scenes.

Alexander is still very confident in himself, the situation in Italy is much more complicated than in the Balkans, but he still has everything he has now, and in this way he can also create a miracle for Sophia in the Balkans.

Sophia's temper came and went as fast as she could, and when she left the venue and returned to her room, she was no longer angry.

The only thing that changed her was that the cathedral incident had inspired her mother's love, which was still a little ignorant, and her strong desire to protect her had a tendency to go from one extreme to the other, and she would seem uneasy every time she was away from the children for a little longer, and even if she had nannies to take care of her, she would often wake up suddenly at night and rush to another room to see if the children were sleeping soundly.

There were a few times when Sophia insisted on keeping the crib in her room because she was worried that the babysitters might forget something due to negligence.

Alexander could understand Sophia's thoughts, and he did not intend to stop her, because if she did not get catharsis, this emotion would accumulate in her heart, which would certainly not benefit Sophia, and this strong desire for protection also seemed to stimulate her desire to rule the country, and she would do whatever it took to give Wallachia a gift to her children and a guarantee to secure their future.

Another reason why Sophia seems to have grown up all of a sudden is that Alexander is leaving.

Although she did not speak, everything Alexander did was a sign that he was preparing for his departure, and Sophia was keenly aware of this, which made her gradually understand that maybe it would not be long before she would have to face all the troubles to be solved alone, and in the days without Alexander, she would have to take all the responsibility and have to bear the consequences of her decision to get out.

This made Sophia feel pressured, and she even began to try to take the initiative to learn, and although the lessons were completely like a book to her, she tried to master some of them as much as she could.

Sophia's change fell into the eyes of many people, which made people both excited and uneasy, after all, the Grand Duke was famous for her bad temper, and no one could say what unexpected things a young female Grand Guild would do when she suddenly became diligent.

Therefore, the feelings of the Wallachians for Alexander are complicated, and they do not want the Duke to interfere too much in the affairs of their country, but they cannot but admit that he can at least make His Royal Highness the Grand Duke much more reasonable.

It's getting hotter, the screams of knowing are already making it hard to sleep in the afternoon, and Alexander's bags are ready, and he's really leaving.

Sophia leaned on the back of the wooden couch covered with linen cushions, stuffing freshly washed grapes into her mouth one by one, she was already a little accustomed to this clean and refreshing life, and sometimes thinking about the scene of wandering around with the convoy in the past, and even running around barefoot, made her wonder how she had come through all those years.

In fact, even now, many Wallachians are not used to the clean and restless environment of the castle, and many nobles even feel uncomfortable once they enter the castle, which makes them feel like dirty beggars.

The door opened, and Alexander walked in, and saw Sophia looking at him, and Alexander carefully looked at the young archduchess who was reclining on the bed, and had faded her youth and showed amazing charm.

"You're going to be a worthy queen," Alexander walked over and sat down beside Sophia, clasping one of her hands in his palm, "Even if I'm not with you, you're going to look good, you know, if Nashan told people now that you were his own daughter, those Wallachians wouldn't admit it, because they knew very well that a future Bohemian queen could bring them much more than a Wallachian Archduke himself, and you gave them hope for the revival of Wallachia, You also have the opportunity to become the most outstanding monarch of Wallachia and even the entire Greek land, because I will help you accomplish this feat and miracle. ”

Sophia listened quietly, tilting her head slightly, as if thinking about the meaning of Alexander's words, and then her big eyes bent up, revealing a smile.

"After I leave, you will have to judge everything you do," although he knew it in his heart, this was the first time Alexander had seriously talked about his departure, he noticed the reluctance flashing on Sophia's face, but he pretended not to see it ruthlessly, "Don't worry, believe me, even if I cause a lot of trouble, I will stand firmly behind you, but you have to make sure to take care of yourself and our children before solving the problem for you." ”

Sophia nodded slowly, the melancholy before parting made her originally think that as long as Alexander opened her mouth to mention leaving, she would lose her temper suddenly felt that she had no strength to lose her temper, she leaned on the couch a little tiredly, tilted her head and looked at Alexander without blinking, that look made Alexander suddenly feel that he was really not a thing.

Thinking about it, it is true, to throw their mother and son in Wallachia so alone, but to run back to Italy to get married, not only is it unreasonable, but it looks like a shameless scumbag.

Alexander coughed, trying to comfort Sophia, but couldn't say anything more.

He thought for a moment, and finally shook his head helplessly, and let out a almost inaudible sigh.

Sophia didn't say anything, she just looked at Alexander seriously, as if she wanted to remember his appearance and engrave it in her heart.

This silent act completely crushed Alexander's long-prepared rhetoric, and he could only gently stroke the top of Sophia's head full of thick hair with his apologetic hand, and then deeply imprint his own lip marks on her forehead.

In the early morning, the early summer breeze is refreshing.

The procession was already ready to leave outside the city, and Sophia stood at the front of the procession, looking at Alexander, who was bidding farewell to the Wallachian nobles one by one, she bowed her head and gently kissed the soft cheeks of the two children in her arms.

Alexander came over, he took a pair of children from Sophia's arms and looked at them carefully, and then he whispered to Sophia: "My children are destined to be extraordinary, so don't restrain them, just as I didn't restrain you, let them learn to ask questions in their hearts, and let them understand and accept anything new, and when they are a little older I will send them teachers, and then they can go to Bologna or Pisa to study." ”

Alexander's words made Sophia suddenly look wary, she picked up the two children from Alexander, and then looked at him warily.

"Little fool, what are you thinking, how could I want to snatch them away from you," Alexander raised his hand dotingly, but thinking that it was in front of outsiders, he put his arm around Sophia's shoulder instead, and whispered in her ear, "Remember what I told you before, you will be a great queen, so I believe that you are also destined to be an excellent mother." ”

So saying, Alexander bowed his head and kissed each of his children, then said no more and turned to Pagasus, who seemed to be holding his hooves because he had been waiting impatiently.

However, when he saw the horse that refused to be honest and obedient even after being castrated, Alexander suddenly stopped and turned around as if he remembered something, and his face first showed a somewhat unspeakable look, and then put on a flattering smile and said to Sophia who followed him: "There is another thing, that is, can you be a little better for that Alosia......

Seeing that she also used her thumb and index indicator to make a small gesture, Sophia's face sank suddenly, and the melancholy of parting was instantly replaced by anger, and just as she was about to open her mouth to let out the customary roar of "ah~", Alexander suddenly took a step forward and quickly whispered something in her ear.

The anger on Sophia's face was replaced by surprise, she looked at Alexander in disbelief, and seeing his slightly meaningful smile, Sophia opened her mouth and seemed to let out a silent exclamation.

Maybe the words of farewell have been said enough, or maybe they don't want the parting emotions to be too exposed in front of these outsiders around them, the two people didn't linger anymore, they just looked at each other again, and after bowing deeply to Sophia, Alexander turned over and got on the horse.

"Mark my words and don't be in a hurry, we'll meet again soon." Alexander tightened his horse's belly as he spoke, and Pagasus hissed and ran to the front of the group.

With the sound of a military horn, the procession set off, and the hunters set out on their way home.

Sophia was silent for a long time as she looked at the departing procession, only turning away from the squire next to her in a whispered reminder, her gaze sweeping over the faces of the Wallachians and Greeks standing in front of her, and she knew that from now on she would have to face these people herself.

Thinking about Alexander's words before leaving, Sophia walked up to the children who were being held by the two nannies, and surprisingly, she just looked at Auguste, and then picked up Catherine.

She lowered her head and whispered something in her daughter's ear as Alexander had done, before handing Catherine back to the nanny.

Go back, Sophia gestured to the people, but before she boarded the carriage, she involuntarily glanced back at the vague shadows in the distance that were no longer clear, leaving only flying smoke.

Will we be able to meet soon?

A smile tugged at Sophia's lips.

The huntsmen were advancing, and the roads of the Balkans had allowed them to leave a few days earlier, but according to Alexander's estimate, they would probably have a good time before the wedding when they returned to Montina.

So he chose the nearest route, which ran west along the Padua River between Wallachia and the border with Northern Bosnia, and then into the plains of southern Hungary, which was a little farther but much smoother.

"Master, are we going home?" On the way, Schell asked casually, and when he saw Alexander looking at him with a strange look when he heard this, Schell was a little inexplicable, "Master, did I say something wrong?" ”

"No, I'm just curious that you're talking about going home, isn't Wallachia supposed to be your home?" Alexander asked interestingly.

Xie Er seemed to be stunned by the question, he thought about it before shaking his head: "I don't know, but I asked it so casually, sir, isn't it right for me to ask that?" ”

"No, I'm glad you said that," Alexander smiled slightly, looking westward, then looking back in the direction of Bucharest behind him, "we're all going home, and we're going to do a lot for our home." ”

"I want you to be nice to her because I need her to take Croatia for our daughter in the future."

This is what Alexander said to Sophia.
