The nobility of Northern Bosnia, the Ruva with great prestige and honorable status?? Marquis, is the famous Riva in the history of the Kingdom of Bosnia?? Descendants of the family.

Like the Kostnik family, which was a side line of the former Bosnian royal family that had already been slaughtered by the Ottomans, the Rwa?? One of the families with the best chance of ascending to the throne of Bosnia.

Or even Helva and Rova, who were the future dukes of Zagreb?? In comparison, apart from being a representative of the Croatian aristocracy, there is no obvious advantage.

But today's Roy?? The Marquis's fame was due to his early exploits in Moravia and Wallachia against the Ottoman invasions.

In order to fight against the Ottomans and the Hungarians, Vlad III raised an army that could be called a fierce army, which showed extraordinary strength and almost crazy combat effectiveness in order to get a good reward from Vlad III.

The army that followed Vlad fought the Ottomans everywhere, and in Transylvania they managed to defeat the 20,000-strong army led by Mehmed II's general Seligu, and then they bravely attacked the Sultan's army with an army of only a few thousand men.

Vlad III's almost frenzied adventure shook Muhammad so badly at the time that he was even forced to change the direction of his attack.

Although Vlad then had to retreat, the actions of the Grand Duke of Wallachia really shook many people.

Roa at that time?? He was just a hairy boy, and no one knew who this later marquis was at that time, and what really made him famous was a series of legends in Stefan's army later.

His experience in the army of the Grand Duke of Wallachia gave him a wealth of experience as a young nobleman, and he later joined the Moldovan Archduke Stefan in his campaign against the Ottomans.

Follow that legendary Moldovan hero, Rova?? Extraordinary military talent was shown in his army, especially in the famous Battle of the White Valley in the early years, when the Moldovan army faced huge casualties and almost collapsed on all fronts under the frenzied attack of the Ottomans. But with his army of less than 200 men, he withstood the attack of the Ottomans.

So much so that when the Ottomans finally began to retreat because they were not able to hold out and waver, Rova?? The people were the only Moldovan troops who held their ground.

Because of this, Grand Duke Stefan personally rewarded this brave young man, he not only praised this young nobleman from Bosnia, but also generously found him a family affair, which is now Rova?? Marchioness.

When Rowa?? By the time he returned to Bosnia to inherit his father's title, he had become a hero and a legend, especially when the entire kingdom of Bosnia trembled and prostrate at the feet of the Ottomans, both nobles and commoners, who had already taken Rhova?? It became the hope of saving Bosnia in the future.

Such a person certainly has an advantage over being eligible for the throne purely by blood, especially if this person also has an ancient and noble noble blood that is not inferior to the others, then he is obviously much closer to the crown than others.

So Rowa?? The succession to the Bosnian throne should not come as a surprise, or should be said to be more suitable than anyone else.

It's just that the only thing that is hard to believe and accept is that Rois?? The throne was held in the presence of the Ottoman Sultan Bayezid II, who also declared the new king under his protection.

No one could have imagined that the hero of the resistance against the Ottomans, the newly enthroned Bosnian king Rhova?? I, openly surrendered to the Ottomans.

When the news reached Bucharest, it caused an uproar that almost turned the city upside down.

Doubt, anger, curses, hesitation and uneasiness, all who heard the news fell into confusion.

Many vehemently denied this rumor, saying that it must have been a rumor spread by the marquis's enemies, or a discordant ploy by the Ottomans.

It is also said that the Marquis may covet the crown, but he will not do such crazy things because of this.

But many more people still believed this, especially when someone cited another big man in Bucharest as an example, and many people who didn't believe it were shaken.

When Vlad, the original Piercing Prince, had been a hostage to the Ottomans for many years, and when he returned to his domain to inherit the title left to him by his dead father, the Ottoman educated European was in many ways even more like a pagan.

Throughout Vlad III's life, he also had a somewhat inexplicably complex relationship with the Ottomans, which is one of the reasons why Wallachia always had bad relations with other countries.

His neighbors were reluctant to trust the Ottoman raised Grand Duke, and his cruel methods seemed to illustrate that this distrust was not unfounded.

As for Stefan in Moldova, his relations with the Ottomans were also complicated.

Although he persisted in resisting, Stefan was more often in conflict with the Ottomans, and even after his conflict with Poland, rumors repeatedly circulated that Moldova was making peace with the Ottomans.

Rowa?? Being close to these two people is enough to make people have a lot of ideas.

Ladislas II heard the news during a meal, when the king was picking up a grape bead and was about to put it in his mouth, when he heard the palace minister next to him read the news in an urgent letter, and the king could not help but crush the grapes by accident.

He then snatched the letter without drying the slimy juice from his hands, and after reading it twice to confirm the message, Ladislas II tore it to shreds in anger.

The nobles who had been dining with the king at that time couldn't help but be dumbfounded, they had never expected the king to be so angry and gaffe, but when they heard the news, they couldn't help but lose their temper.

For the Balkan aristocracy, Northern Bosnia was the frontier on which they relied to defend themselves against the Ottomans, and even a few days ago some nobles at the party had raised their hopes for Rwa?? The Marquis was able to play an important role in this alliance, using his prestige to rally the Bosnian nobility against the tyrannical rule of the Ottomans.

As a result, in just a few days, this great nobleman, who had been pinned on by countless people, took refuge in the Ottomans, which made many people feel incredulous at first, and then fell into extreme panic.

As soon as Northern Bosnia gave up its resistance, the door was open for the Ottomans to march east to Bucharest!

After finally calming down after an impulse of surprise and anger, Ladislas II immediately summoned a large number of nobles to a meeting.

About Roa at this time?? The news had spread throughout the city, and people were anxiously watching the nobles who had rushed to the castle to attend the meeting, and more and more people spontaneously gathered outside the castle and waited anxiously for the big men to make a decision.

Morco was squeezing around in the crowd, and he had already heard about Rova?? message.

At first, Morco was frightened by the news, but then he was a little excited and even happy, because he felt that although Rois?? He was declared king, but he surrendered to the Ottomans, which made him an enemy of Bosnia, so that his master, Viscount Helva, naturally had a greater chance.

It was only from the restless and chattering words of the people around him that he knew that Rowa?? What does the surrender mean to them.

"The Ottoman army will come soon."

"Even Belgrade can't stop it, and although Count Sander is brave, he has too few troops in his hands."

"Then there's Wallachia, and then there's Bucharest."

"There's going to be a war! God, there will be a war so soon! ”

There was so much talk everywhere that some places were already clamoring to organize themselves at once to prepare for the Ottomans, and many merchants, who had thought that there was money to be made because of the gathering here, began to hurry up and make preparations to leave as soon as the situation was not good.

When Morco came to the tavern, he saw that there was almost no place to stand in the tavern, which was usually crowded, and many people who would not have come to the tavern also gathered here to inquire about the news.

Morco managed to find Prato at a table crowded with a large crowd.

"Is that true? That Rova?? Really betrayed God? A man asked anxiously with a long mouth.

"Didn't you listen to Master Prato, the king tore up the letter in anger," someone next to him immediately said, "Master Prato was eating with the king at that time, and he saw it with his own eyes." ”

"Oh~"

There was a burst of exclamations all around, and I didn't know whether it was because the news of the marquis's betrayal was proven, or because the old man Prato was actually able to accompany the king to dinner.

An old man sitting in the corner said quietly, "Then there is really going to be a war." ”

"yes, it looks like there is really going to be a war this time!" A young man shouted excitedly, he had expected that the people around him would echo him, so that he could say a few bold words, but to his surprise, the people next to him were silent.

"We can hold it," said a man sitting at the table with a tin cup in his hand, the wine in it swaying slightly, and his voice sounded so flustered, "After all, we have already defeated that Muhammad, and he even took Constantinople." ”

"It should be able to hold on, that Bayezid will not be stronger than him, and it is said that he will not bring as many troops as Muhammad had at the beginning." Another man seemed to be cheering himself up, and looking at the silent people around him, he asked Prato, who was sitting at the table, "What do you say, Lord Prato, you have come from Rome and know much more than we do, and you often see the king, tell us about it." ”

Prato looked around, and when he saw Morco, he nodded deliberately, which made Morco feel as if he was suddenly much more energetic than the people around him.

"To tell you the truth, I have never seen the Sultan's army," Prato began with a cry of disappointment from those around him, but he continued to ignore it, "but I have seen their nobleman, a vizier, a favored nobleman at the Sultan's side. ”

"Oh~"

There was another roar, and the people looked at the old man Prato with awe, and it was strange that this rich merchant from Rome, who could talk and laugh with the king, had always been able to deign such a tavern.

"The man was so fluent in many languages, some of which I don't even know the origin of, but he spoke so fluently, and he was so familiar with Rome, that he was even said to have corrected a cardinal at a meeting about the history of a certain palace in Rome. This heretic knows us better than we know about him. ”

Prato looked around, he had hoped to see enough worry and uneasiness in people's eyes, but when he realized that they were just looking at him with the curiosity of listening to a story, Prato couldn't help but sigh secretly for his waste of eloquence.

"I am reminding you that the Ottomans know us," Prato had to say, "the sultan's favourites know the origin of every street and palace in Rome, and what do we know about them?" Isn't it terrible that he could casually talk to a painter about our art and culture, and we don't know anything about where they came from, and look at the present, the hero whose ears have been calloused since I arrived in Bucharest, who surrendered to the Sultan, and no one found out before that? Think about it, what do the Ottomans know about us, or they know weaknesses that we don't even know ourselves, and how can we win if we engage them in that case? ”

Prato's words sent the surroundings into deep thought, and a vague sense of unease began to spread through the crowd.

"Then are we going to surrender to the Ottomans, like that Ruva?? The same? Morco in the crowd asked dissatisfiedly.

"Of course not, the king and the nobles are trying to figure it out, but know that sometimes even the big men in the castle can become stupid," Prato's words caused a burst of laughter around us, "We need real leaders and people who can protect the city, that Grand Duke of Tzepes seems to be good, but it is not enough, we don't know if the king wants to fight the Ottomans, if he wants to abandon the city, or if he will choose to negotiate with the Sultan." ”

"It's impossible."

"The king is not a compromise."

"Perhaps, isn't there already a rumor that Moldova has surrendered to the Ottomans?"

"And Roy??, this is in front of us, who would have thought that the marquis would surrender to the infidels."

There was a lot of talk until someone asked, "So what are we going to do?" Waiting for the king and nobles to decide? ”

"Or we can wait for a miracle," Prato shrugged, "knowing that I have heard that in addition to the king, Rome has also sent troops to help you, and believe me, Christendom should not forget the city. ”

Prato's words made the already gloomy atmosphere suddenly become warm, and people excitedly asked who the crusaders were made of and who led them, and when they heard about the long list of identities of a certain count, there was a wave of exclamation in the tavern.

Morco stood in the corner of the table with a gloomy face, he didn't expect to hear the name of the Count of Montina everywhere he went, which annoyed him and helpless him.

He drank coldly from his glass until Prato patted him on the shoulder: "Listen friend, I know you don't want to hear the name of the count, but he should be there soon, it is said that now the king is considering how to place the count, and you are the messenger of Viscount Helva, so you should be prepared as soon as possible, maybe the king will summon you soon." ”

"Summoning me, why?" Morco asked, a little puzzled.

"To greet the Count, of course, and it is evident to the King that your master had come to Bucharest in advance for the Count's arrival, so perhaps he will soon see you, especially at this time, when it is important for an Earl and his army to come from afar."

Morco's face darkened a little more gloomy until he heard Prato say to himself while drinking, "But that Greek princess is really beautiful, and every time I see her, I feel as if I have fallen in love." ”

Morko's eyes lit up instantly, and when he thought of the Greek princess, he suddenly looked forward to the king's summons.
