The news of a change at the Castilian court swept across the Iberian Peninsula like the changeable weather of summer.

In Barriariddod, anyone who could find out what was going on tried to get the astonishing news out as quickly as possible.

First in nearby cities, and then farther out, the unexpected fact that Juana had been placed under house arrest by Ferdinand made Barriaridud instantly the most striking place in all of Iberia.

And everyone who heard the unexpected news was surprised by Ferdinand's move, and at the same time, people's minds couldn't help but change.

When the astonishing news was brought back to Aragon, the people of Aragon who heard about it could not help but rejoice.

This joy spread from the border to the interior, and the Aragonese sang all the way to the audacity of their king, and some simply shouted "succession to the throne".

And in Castile, whether it was a nobleman or a common man, from accident and confusion to incomprehension and anger, the dissatisfaction with the Aragonese that had already gathered began to brew in various places with the encounter of Juana under house arrest.

The news is still spreading farther afield, albeit a long way, but the Portuguese and Navarres will soon learn of this astonishing event, and as for Castile, it was even earlier because of the deliberate leakage and the 'ecclesiastical post', the most convenient means of communication at the moment.

Jossa was worried, knowing that Alexander, who was in the north, must have learned about what had happened to Barriridud before she did.

It made her worry that Alexander might take the risk because he felt it was a rare opportunity.

After all, this is very much in line with Alexander's character, when he feels that he is 30% sure, he will be eager to try, if he is 50% sure, he will dare to do what others dare not do, and when he feels that he has a chance of winning, no matter what kind of danger is in front of him, he will give it a try.

And the vision of the future of Castile that Alexander had previously revealed to her made Jossa realize that in the face of such a great opportunity, he must have a stronger determination to take risks than she thought.

This made her even more worried, so she asked the Sicilian army to prepare for departure, and for the first time, she also gave orders to the Castilian army in Córdoba.

After Gonzalo left, the Castilian army was commanded by Don de Queliar.

When he received the order from Josa, the noble knight had just learned of the astonishing events that had taken place in Vallaridus.

So when the messenger arrived, the knight Don de Kliar was gathering all the officers to discuss what to do about the sudden incident.

It's just that to the annoyance of Don de Klyar, the Castilian officers have different opinions on what to do.

Some people think that this is purely a royal matter, just as Gonzalo told them not long ago that he did not intend to get involved in the dispute between Queen Juana and the Duke of Thesia in Rome, and that he should not be involved in the struggle for power between Ferdinand and Juana's father and daughter.

However, some people think that these two things cannot be confused, and Ferdinand's purpose is obviously to wear the crown himself, and even take the opportunity to annex Castile, which is no longer a matter between the queen's father and daughter, but about the entire kingdom.

When you think of Isabella's insistence on being crowned king before marrying Ferdinand, you can imagine that even after becoming husband and wife, the struggle for power has never stopped.

So after seeing the messenger of Josa, the knight of Don De Kliar, after only a brief moment's hesitation, ordered the Castilian army to get ready.

"Whatever happens, let us remember that we are soldiers of Castile," the knight Don de Klyar told the officers, "and our mission is to be loyal to the monarch and to defend the kingdom, and neither the Aragonese nor the Sicilians shall be allowed to inflict harm on Castile." ”

From Seville to Córdoba, on both banks of the Dalville River, two armies began to move.

They kept their distance so carefully that even the Sicilians, who had already occupied Mondila, were asked not to approach the Castilian soldiers.

The two sides cautiously formed a tacit understanding, and apart from the couriers sent by each other, a large separation zone was formed between the two armies.

When he learned that the knights of Don de Kliar had ordered the cavalry to form a long line of scouts on the north bank of the Guadaville River, southwest of Córdoba, Jossa only smiled, but did not react or comment.

The knight of Don de Kgliar was clearly cautious, and he remembered the strength of the Sicilian army on the battlefield.

So in this delicate moment of uncertainty of all kinds, he behaved a little too cautiously, and it is understandable.

If, on the other hand, he appears to be too generous or even completely defenseless, he should be more careful.

The two sides were preparing tacitly, and the messengers were coming and going very frequently, and boats could be seen coming and going on the river almost at any time.

The boats are equipped with a special flag, which ensures that the passengers on board can reach their destination quickly and unhindered.

It was these messengers that connected the two armies, who were suspicious of each other and on guard.

One question after another was raised, and one after another was resolved, and although the news of Juana's house arrest was too unexpected, and Zhisa was more worried that Alexander might take risks, it was clear that the actions of an army were not so overnight.

Not to mention the fact that there is a special "partner", which makes the coordination between the two armies even more complicated.

In the meantime, Jossa sent her men to the north, she only knew that Alexander had gone to Toledo, but thinking that Alexander should have heard about Juana before she did, she feared that she might not wait for her men to arrive in Toledo, and Alexander had already made a move.

But even if she was secretly anxious, she had to suppress this anxiety that made her anxious, the entire Sicilian army was already moving, and at the same time, under the command of the knight Don de Queliar, the Castilian team was already preparing to go.

It was impossible for the Castilians to allow a foreign army to run rampant in their own country, so the knights of Don de Queliard were wary of the Sicilian army in Seville, although an agreement had been reached.

At the same time, Ferdinand's actions not only aroused the anger of the nobles everywhere, but also made them vigilant.

Fearing that the Kingdom of Aragon might take advantage of the opportunity to send troops, many Castilian nobles became active.

For a time, from Valrialidotus to Andalusia, the entire kingdom of Castile was in turmoil as if something big was about to happen.

The exchange of messengers between Córdoba and Seville became more and more frequent, and one could always see messengers hurrying along the road.

These men carry the latest orders from the commanders of the armies of the two places, and they are also tasked with finding out from each other.

The most nervous of them all is the knight Don De Klyar.

As Gonzalo's acting commander, the pressure on Don De Kliar at this time was unimaginable.

Ferdinand's imprisonment of Juana was far more shocking than one might think.

The Castilian army in Córdoba was already showing signs of splitting due to disagreement among its generals, and this was clearly the most crucial turning point in Don de Queliar's life.

If he can effectively control the army, then he will surely become famous, and no matter what changes occur in Castile in the future, as a general who has established a great reputation in the army, he, like Gonzalo, will definitely be the best candidate for the future monarch to recruit.

But if he fails, what awaits him will be a terrible end.

At least one charge of a truce with the Sicilians was enough to kill him, not to mention that if his negligence caused the Sicilians to wreak havoc in Castile, he would surely be a scapegoat for whoever ultimately won in the future.

Knight Don De Kliar was clearly aware of his situation.

While he frequently sent envoys to contact the Sicilians, hoping that the Queen of Sicily would abide by the agreement between the two sides, he quickly organized an army to strengthen the defense of Córdoba.

At the same time, he also sent people around to find out how the nobles in various places reacted to this sudden accident.

Knight Don De Kgliar's actions were well aware of him, but she didn't care.

The most important thing for her now is to get in touch with Alexander as soon as possible.

Although the Queen of Sicily did not show anything unusual in the eyes of others, in fact, Jisha was already anxious.

She feared that Alexander might take the plunge, and in fact, she knew that this fear was likely to come true, just by thinking about what Alexander had repeatedly revealed to her.

To this end, she did not hesitate to take the initiative to ask the knights of Don de Kgliar to be willing to sign a temporary armistice with the people of Castile.

At Josha's suggestion, Knight Don De Kliar was surprised and overjoyed.

At this time, the Castilian army of Andalusia was in a very difficult situation.

On the one hand, because they had just quelled the rebellion of the local nobility, Andalusia was no different from an enemy country full of hostility, and on the other hand, they had to be on the lookout for the Sicilians at all times.

This made it difficult for the Castilian army for a while.

Even in Gonzalo's hometown, they weren't any more relaxed.

The locals were still very hostile to them, as evidenced by the refusal of the nobles, who were originally related to the Córdoban family, to attend Mass with the family.

So when he offered to sign an armistice with the local nobles, the knight Don De Kliar was so excited that he almost cheered.

He knew exactly what that meant.

The armistice signed between the Queen of Sicily and the Andalusian nobles saved him from the charge of collaboratorship, which was no less than a grace for a nobleman who cherished his reputation.

The knight of Don de Kgliar became more proactive in contacting the local nobles, and he forced those who did not want to cooperate with him to force them to agree to participate in the name of the Queen of Sicily, and at the same time agreed to the proposal of Jossa to leave north in four days.

On 15 July, a somewhat hurried meeting was held at the Doge's Palace in Saville.

The 22 nobles, representing the Andalusian nobility, attended the meeting, convened by the Queen of Sicily.

At the meeting, Jossa declared beyond doubt that Andalusia was in a state of peace without war and that no army could take military action in Andalusia.

In response to the proposal made by the Queen of Sicily, the Andalusians expressed their attitude with silence.

The rebellion of the Andalusian nobility was actually quelled by Castile together with the Sicilian army.

Now that the Zosa is going to sign an armistice with them, these Andalusian nobles will naturally not have any good faces.

Just looking at the young queen who had been firmly in control of the meeting from beginning to end, these nobles also knew that what awaited them would be a long-established agreement.

The knight Don de Queliard became the signatory of this agreement to the Castilian army.

As he signed his name on the thick parchment, he felt the eyes of the Queen, who was sitting across from him, suddenly brighten.

The Andalusian nobles eventually signed the agreement, which surprised them by surprise.

According to the agreement, the Castilian and Sicilian armies will each withdraw from Andalusia within five days, and they will recognize Seville as an unarmed city.

The Andalusan nobility was puzzled by the armistice treaty, which was clearly a disadvantage for the Sicilians, who could not understand why, after their victory, the Sicilians would voluntarily abandon the cities they occupied.

At the same time, they are not unaware of what the agreement they signed means to them.

It may even seem to some that this was a means for the arrogant Queen of Sicily to show her victory.

After all, it is more in keeping with a monarch's identity to show kindness and be loved than to be feared.

So when she sneered at the pretense of the Sicilians, no one noticed that she was secretly relieved to see those people sign their names.

Josha couldn't wait, she had decided to march north at all costs, she wanted to be by Alexander's side when he needed her most.

And along with this painful worry, it is that Tsusha suddenly realizes that she has never been more eager to have a child than she is now.

A child of her and Alexander.

On 19 July, the Sicilian army withdrew from Seville, but then crossed the Guadaville River and advanced towards northern Andalicia.

At the same time, in the name of observing the armistice, the Castilian army, led by the knight of Don de Queliar, withdrew from Córdoba and at the same time marched north.

They have only one goal.

The capital of Castile, Barrialidod.
