Aloxia looked blankly at Sophia who appeared in front of her, and when she saw Sophia at this time, Aloxia did not feel happy, but had a deep fear.

She knew that Sophia was furious about the assassination, and that seeing her on the eve of her trial made Aloxia think that maybe tomorrow would be a terrible day for her.

Sophia stood motionless in front of Aloxia, she didn't have any expression on her face, speaking of which, she did want to be friends with this girl from Croatia, after all, she didn't have a friend in the Wallachian court who could make friends with her, although those nobles reminded her more than once that Aloxia was a Croatian and should be careful, but Sophia still went her own way and not only invited Aloxia into the castle, but also simply arranged for her to stay.

However, Sophia did not expect this to be the end of the day, and when it was reported to her that Alosia had been involved in the cathedral murder, she was no less angry than when she was in the cathedral, because she felt betrayed.

So looking at Alosia now, the anger in Sophia's heart is far greater than the disappointment, after all, she will only be disappointed and sad if she is hurt, and now Sophia is just angry.

Perhaps the only one in this world who could disappoint her was Alexander, and she believed that Alexander would never do such a thing.

"Aloxia Anasania Helva, Countess of Slavoburnige, your trial has been adjourned," the Wallachian official who was on Sofia's side said to Aloxia with a cold expression, ignoring her puzzled look, but continuing "According to the agreement with the Croatian envoy, you must leave Bucharest before sunrise today, and you will be placed in a safe place until some agreement is reached between us and the Croatian king on your issue, during which time you will not be able to contact anyone, To be precise, you will be placed in a convent, and as for your status and status, His Royal Highness has decreed that your origins be respected, and you will be treated as a guest and not as a prisoner. ”

Aloxia looked at Sophia unexpectedly, she originally thought that Sophia came to see her overnight to tell her in person that she would be sentenced to death, but now that she suddenly heard the news, Aloxia didn't know what to say for a while.

It was only then that she seemed to realize that it was rude for her to sit in such a daze, so she stood up as if she had been bounced, but just as she was about to speak, Sophia had already raised her hand and made a gesture to stop.

She glanced at the official next to her, motioning for him to stand back for a moment, and when there were only the two of them in the room, Sophia slowly walked towards Aloxia, she stopped very close to her under Aloxia's uneasy gaze and looked at her carefully, then she suddenly raised her hand and grabbed Aloxia's chin, and in Aloxia's struggle because she was so frightened that she couldn't make a sound, Sophia's hand slowly lifted, and at the same time her hand became tighter and tighter.

Aloxia felt that she was about to suffocate, she wanted to shout but her throat hurt so much that she couldn't make a sound, and at the same time her body was slowly lifted, her toes couldn't stop kicking on the ground, and her hands couldn't break Sophia's hands with all her strength, and a burst of dizziness caused by suffocation made Venus appear in front of her eyes, at this time Alosia couldn't help but be horrified to find that Sophia was actually going to kill her like this!

"Bang", Aloxia only felt that her body fell heavily to the ground in a dizzy turn, and although the pain of her shoulder hitting the corner of the bed made her cry out in pain, but then she lay on the ground desperately and gasped for breath.

A shadow overhead enveloped Aloxia, she was so frightened that she shrank back a few times, but hit the bed behind her, and in her frightened gaze, Sophia squatted down beside her, she looked down at Aloxia, so focused, as if to remember her resemblance, and then she didn't care whether Aloxia could understand it or not, and quickly made a series of gestures to her.

When she stopped, she stretched out her hand again, which made Aloxia's body tremble, but this time Sophia's hand was very gentle, she slowly reached out to caress Aloxia's cheek, and gently held her chin to make her raise her head to look at herself.

Aloxia saw Sophia open her mouth and seemed to say something silently and forcefully and slowly, and then she slowly understood the name that seemed to be being read between Sophia's lips opening and closing.

"Alexander......" Aloxia repeated the name between Sophia's lips with a frightened face, seeing that the corners of Sophia's eyes were slightly curved and nodded, she asked uneasily, "What are you going to say to me, Alexander?" ”

Sophia continued to open her mouth with great difficulty and spit out the words little by little, as her hand slowly gestured, which allowed Alosia to finally understand what she was about to say.

"Alexander, it's mine, don't think about it...... Take? ”

When she finally figured out what Sophia meant, Alosia looked at her in a panic, she knew that if Sophia really misunderstood that she wanted to take Alexander, with her current situation, maybe she didn't wait for her to leave Bucharest before dawn, maybe her body would be found floating in the Dembvica River after dawn.

As if satisfied to see that Aloxia finally understood what she meant, Sophia stood up, she looked condescendingly at Aloxia who was leaning on the edge of the bed, and suddenly bent down and raised her hand and waved it at her slightly, as if she was saying goodbye to her good friend.

Then she turned and walked towards the door, never looking back.

Alosia was in Bucharest before the sun came out.

Because of Morko's sudden disappearance, the accusations against Alosia suddenly became meaningless, although there were many previous confessions of Morko, but the Archbishop of Zagreb insisted that these confessions only proved Morko's crimes, but could not prove that Alosia was also involved in the conspiracy, and according to the confession of Alosia known so far, she was purely sympathetic to Morco, although this statement was regarded as a joke by many people, but it made the archbishop feel as if she had grasped a life-saving straw.

While secretly speculating that the person who robbed Morco was probably Kurush, the archbishop kept trying to intercede everywhere on the grounds that Wallachia could not produce more evidence to prove that Alosia was involved in the conspiracy, and the two days passed in a hurry, until in the middle of the night of the trial day, the archbishop, who was almost desperate, was suddenly invited into the castle overnight.

What followed was a series of negotiations that surprised him but apparently turned around, and finally Aloxia was able to get out of the judgment after dawn, but the Wallachians were only willing to make so many concessions.

Under the silent gaze of Sophia, who sat on the throne from afar, the Wallachian Palace made a suggestion that until the evidence was found and a new trial involving both parties began, Aloxia was forbidden to leave Wallachia and that she would be placed in a convent until all this was finally settled.

In the archbishop's view, this suggestion was tantamount to a lifetime imprisonment, and everyone present knew that relations between Wallachia and Croatia had now reached a point of tension, that more troops had gathered on the border than anywhere else, and that no matter what the outcome of the trial might be, there would always be one side that would not be acceptable.

And will Herva admit this trial, the archbishop feels that the answer is obvious.

Obviously, Herva would be happy with such an ending, perhaps trading a niece who was imprisoned forever in Wallachia for peace with Wallachia, so that he could free up his hands to deal with the difficult Rova??, which would probably be the best outcome for Helva.

The agreement was finally reached in the middle of the night, and seeing the Wallachians who seemed to be satisfied, the archbishop suddenly guessed that perhaps Morko's disappearance was the work of the Wallachians themselves.

The archbishop would never know that his conjecture was once infinitely close to the truth, but now he could not care about it, and he needed to tell the rest of the Emissaries the news, and as for Alosia, according to the archbishop, it might be more appropriate to see her after leaving Bucharest.

Sophia has been sitting silently from a distance watching the whole negotiation process, which is very rare and has caused a lot of pressure on both sides.

However, when the agreement was officially signed, Sophia suddenly got up and left without warning, and the indifference at that time made the archbishop feel a little hurt his pride.

Then, she met Aloxia, who was being held in captivity.

Sophia, who returned to her room, did not sleep, she waited for news, until the maid next to her reported to her that the carriage carrying Alosia had left Bucharest, accompanied by the archbishop and his envoys, and Alexander, whom she cared about the most, did not appear, and Sophia looked at the faint morning light that had gradually appeared outside the window and lay down on the bed.

But before she could close her eyes and sleep for a while, a deep and melodious bell had drifted in through the window.

Sophia opened her eyes at once, and though she was tired, she forced herself to get up and walk to the door, and after carefully opening the door and glancing into the hallway, she finally let out a soft sigh of satisfaction.

She saw Schell walking by the door of the opposite room, it was Alexander's room in the castle, because of the cathedral incident during this time, Alexander fell into a busy situation, sometimes he would come back very late, in order not to disturb Sophia, he would sleep in the room very close to the opposite, and at this time saw Schell at the door, Sophia knew that he should be resting in it.

Sophia felt like she was catching a rapist.

When she heard that Alexander was going to have Morco kidnap and change the trial of Alosia to a long imprisonment, she began to suspect that Alexander had a crush on Alosia, and in view of Alexander's unreliable past and bad deeds, Sophia thought that this possibility was really great, so although she finally agreed to this suggestion, she told the Wallachian officials before the negotiations that even if she was imprisoned not in Bucharest, but somewhere away from the capital, it was better to have a convent where men stopped, And Aloxia must leave overnight, without stopping for a moment.

Now that Alosia is finally gone, and Alexander is not going to see her off, Sophia is satisfied, because she and the archbishop have the same idea, it is impossible for Alosia to come out of the convent, and what awaits her will be a long house arrest.

Alexander was well aware of Sophia's thoughts, but he neither stopped nor corrected them, and he allowed Sophia to make a decision about relations with her neighbor for the first time in this way, and as for the good and bad times, right or wrong, Alexander did not want to change her decision.

Alexander knew that he could not stay in Wallachia for long, so Sophia would have to face the test of ruling alone one day, and although she had done well so far, there was still a long time to come, and she would have to face many more tests.

There may be successes, but more failures and lessons, and Alexander knows that only in this way will she gradually master the trick of ruling a country, and then she will begin to follow her own arranged route to a smooth path.

It was true that Alexander did not send Aloxia, not because he was afraid that Sophia would be jealous, but because he had more important things to do at this time.

He went to arrange the rest of the matter.

Morko died, and was secretly executed shortly after being snatched from the fortress by Kulash and handed over to Alexander, and his body was thrown into a pit that had been dug long ago, then poured black oil on it and set it on fire, and buried it only after the flames had completely burned the pit into a large brazier.

It was Nashan and a few Agri chasers who did this, they were instructed not to tell anyone about it, and when they looked at the burning fire, several chasers couldn't help but pray secretly, they knew that the duke must have hated this murderer who tried to murder the two little masters, but because of his anger, he actually burned the corpses, which made the chasers can't help but feel that the duke was really angry this time.

It was also on that night that Kulash quietly left Bucharest with Omo with him, taking with them a letter from Alexandria that allowed Omo to enter Bologna or the University of Pavia in Pisa.

As for Kulash, Alexander didn't feel that he needed help, in fact, a soldier like him was a good time to show his strength in Italy in this era, but because of Omo, Alexander was not very worried that this man would become his enemy in the future.

Everything went according to plan, and the only thing left was that even if the trial was canceled, Wallachia still needed an enemy, or an excuse, to vent her anger at the attack on the Grand Duchess and her son.

According to Morko's confession, Grand Duke Stefan of Moldova and the fugitive Rhova?? It was the mastermind of all this, but Alexander was not satisfied with this answer.

This is not because Stefan was a hero in the fight against the Ottomans, but because he knew that this man would not live long.

Alexander doesn't remember exactly when Stefan of Moldova died, but he knew that it was in the last few years, and then for some time in order to fight for the throne, Stefan's younger brother fought a civil war with his son, who was supported by the Ottomans, and the civil war ended with his son's victory, but this also created the conditions for the Ottoman Empire to influence Moldova more deeply.

But all this happened at a time when no one else was on board, and now that there is one more Ruva??, it is difficult to say what the future of Moldova will become.

And Rova, who was secretly supported?? If he can taste the sweetness of the scramble for Moldova, will he go to war against Northern Bosnia again?

Alexander was thinking about speculations that had not appeared in history but could happen now, or perhaps never again, and at the same time, when Aloxia had just left, he was ready for a trial that would not be judged by the defendant the next day.

On 22 May, a trial began without a defendant, in which the trial lasted only half a day from beginning to end, in which all the evidence pointed to the former heir to the Grand Duke of Wallachia, Tsepes, who had already tried to plot a rebellion, and although he had already been sentenced to death after the collapse of the conspiracy a year earlier, the prosecution of his followers and sympathizers was mercilessly brought forward in this trial.

The Wallachian nobles realized that the spearhead that had just been shirked was pointed at them again, but this time, because of the confession of Aloxia that had been prepared before, the Wallachian nobles could only refute it on the grounds that Aloxia was not present at the moment, so it was impossible to prove whether what they said was true or not.

Once again, a trial turned into an intra-Wallachian dispute, which surprised and excited many of the foreign envoys who followed the trial.

The trial turned into arguments and noises, and when everyone could not listen to others and could not let others hear their words, Sophia, who had been sitting on the throne in silence, suddenly stood up!

She strode forward to the clearing, and just when everyone saw her like that, they couldn't help but remember the act of leading her troops into the noble council, Sophia raised the scepter in her hand and slammed it to the ground!

Sophia's eyes swept sternly over the nobles who had suddenly lost their voices, and the scepter in her hand kept tapping lightly on the marble floor, making a dense "click" sound that seemed to knock on everyone's heart.

Then she turned to look fiercely at the Greeks who were arguing with the Wallachians, and then she suddenly walked forward quickly, and before everyone could understand it, she tore down a flag that had been erected by the Greeks, it was the banner of the House of Valleologo, and she did not stop in the exclamation of the Greeks, but walked along the railing where the flags were tied, and as she angrily tore down the flags of the Wallachians or the nobles of Transylvania, In the end, only the flag of the Duchy of Wallachia stood there.

Everyone looked at Sophia in amazement, and for a moment there was a dead silence in the hall.

Alexander had been watching Sophia's movements, and when she finally stopped and stood under the flag in a rage, Alexander slowly stood up.

Under the gaze of all eyes, Alexander bowed deeply to Sophia, and then shouted in a language that was not yet popular in this era: "Long live the king!"
