Many years later, Seville would become famous for a play, and many would even equate the profession of a barber with a barber, so much so that some would believe that the profession of barber was invented by the Sevillians.

Now, this is not the case, and for the Andalusian consul Carolé, if it can really solve Don Bavi's serious problem that he absolutely cannot ignore, then it is not impossible to make him a barber.

It is precisely because she knows the queen's mind very well that Carolet is so desperate to solve Don Bavi as soon as possible.

Carolet thought of a number of options, whether it was to eliminate the man altogether, or to strike at him and destroy his reputation, which led to the destruction of his reputation.

And he had assumed all sorts of possible actions by Don Bavi, among which was the most intense speculation of a possible direct rebellion.

But Carolet never imagined that this situation would occur, and Don Bavi would actually disappear.

This was obviously not what the consul expected, he did not know how to deal with the situation for a while, and the bad thing was that to outsiders Don Bavi was still the Duke of Buharanse, and he was still the nobleman the queen trusted and relied on the most, and even the rumors that he sided with Isabella in her most critical moment are still circulating today, so that Carolet has no excuse to take public action against the most respected man in Castile.

Everything can only be done in secret, and even Isabella has been telling Carolé to be cautious in this matter, after all, the queen does not want to lose a bad reputation of revenge.

This undoubtedly limited Carolet's hands and feet, and this was what annoyed the consul, and he even secretly swore that if he could find the whereabouts of Don Bavi, he would immediately and without hesitation order the most drastic means to deal with the nobleman, who was the greatest trouble for the queen and himself.

What worries Carolet even more is the news about hearing about the Duke of Romatesia from the Vatican, and when she first heard the news, Carolé's mind even flashed the thought that "the Vatican is still far from Castile".

The unexpected death of a nobleman from a high position in the papal hierarchy in the back of Iberia was nothing new, and Carolet believed that if he gave the order, someone would have the courage to do so.

Iberia is still too far away from the Vatican, so far away that the prestige of the Holy See, although it is intimidating, does not prevent the locals from attacking such a big man from the Holy See without any scruples.

In writing to Isabella, Carolet deliberately did not include the duke's arrival in Andalusia, and in Carolet's opinion, whether the queen knew it or not, it was best to remain silent on the matter.

So when the retinue reported to him that the Duke of Rometesia had suddenly come to visit him at the Consul's residence, Carolet was very surprised, and he even thought about making an excuse to refuse to meet, but after thinking about it carefully, he knew that it would not work, and it was obvious that the identity of the Duke had been revealed with his visit, so that even if he refused to meet, he could not hide the fact that the Duke had already arrived in Seville.

And the duke's sudden visit also puzzled Carolai, although he did not know what kind of relationship there was between Don Bavi and the Roman duke, but after seeing the duke, Don Bavi was indeed missing, and this alone was enough to make Carolet think a lot.

Despite the possibilities, the consul was taken aback by Alexander's words when they first met.

"Duke, do you mean you know where Duke Don Bavi is?" Carolet had to ask carefully, he could not guess what the relationship between the Duke and Don Bavi was, and therefore what had happened to them in Bukharanse, and he could not have dreamed of the role of Sister Alfort, who was supposedly "dead", in this.

Now the Duke had brought news of Don Bavi, which made Carolet both happy and a little apprehensive, because he knew that the man should not let his whereabouts fall into the hands of someone else so easily.

Sure enough, Alexander smiled at the consul and said, "The duke thinks he can put forward some conditions, at least on the premise that his safety will be guaranteed." ”

"Where does this start, the Duke of Don Bavi is the nobleman whom Her Majesty trusts and relies on the most, the Duke is like the Queen's family, and even apart from her husband and daughters, the Duke of Bukhalanse can be said to be Her Majesty's most trusted person."

Carolet seemed to be because of Alexander's words and surprise, he first chattered endlessly, and then the smile on his fat face suddenly disappeared, and then he walked towards Alexander step by step: "But please forgive me for asking, how do you know the whereabouts of Don Bavi, you must know that I sent someone to send him a letter because of some things before, but the messenger came back and told me that the Duke had left Bukhalanse for some time, and we all knew that the Duke's leg was no longer able to walk because of the injury of the year, but he actually left Bukhalanse, This is obviously something very important to him, so dear duke, do you know what happened to Don Bavi? ”

Looking at Carolé, who was unabashedly threatening, Alexander was not surprised.

He had long heard of the fierceness of the Iberians, and the fierceness of the Catalan soldiers and the Iberian mountain dwellers was not inferior to that of the Balkan peasants, in fact, as long as you think that the locals of this place were able to persevere in the struggle against the foreign invaders during the centuries occupied by the Moors, until finally one day not only completely regained the lost territory, but even once clamored to counterattack the East, fight the Mediterranean, and liberate the whole holy land, you can know how brave and fierce the people of this place are.

However, Alexander was not worried about what would happen to Carrolle, because he was well aware of the problems the consul was facing.

"The Duke of Don Bavi considers his personal safety to be threatened, to be precise, by the Archon of Andalusia, that is, Your Excellency." Alexander made a gesture to Carolé, "The Duke thinks you are trying to discredit and frame him in front of the Queen, so he asks me to do two things for him. ”

"May I ask what it is?" Carolet's face was gloomy, he didn't know if what Alexander said was true or not, but now Don Bavi seemed to be about to beat him up, which made the consul a little angry, "Duke, I must state in advance, any conjecture that thinks I am trying to be against the Duke is intolerable to me, even if it is the Duke himself's own thoughts." ”

"The Duke thinks he has proof, and that's why he asked me to do it for him," Alexander was unmoved by Carolet's protest, and when he saw that Carolet was about to speak again, he continued, "These two things should actually be said to be one thing, that is, Duke Don Bavi asked to be allowed to make an atoning trip for the purpose of St. Peter's Tomb in the Vatican, and the Duke had sworn that once he reached Rome he would walk on his knees over the seven hills until he entered St. Peter's tomb, after a prayer at the place where St. Peter was martyred, At the same time, he asked to meet you with the Queen's official permission, and since he was probably away for a long time, the Duke had decided to dedicate the land of Buharanser to the Vatican. ”

Political asylum!

Although he didn't know that there was such a word, when he heard Alexander's words, Carolai's mind quickly flashed with the thought of this meaning, and he felt that he already knew Don Bavi's thoughts and intentions.

Apparently, Don Bavi realized how bad the situation was and used his fief as a bribe to bribe the Duke of the Vatican so that he could flee to the Vatican.

Carolet's face instantly became gloomy, he looked at Alexander coldly, and his tone was indescribably stiff: "My lord, I don't think you probably know that the fief of Duke Don Bavi was awarded to him because his grandfather participated in the war to expel the Moors, and His Majesty Juan II thanked him for his loyal service to the kingdom. ”

"I think I know, and that's what makes the duke's piety even more indicated," Alexander said to Carolet with a smile, "A duke who in his old age gave up the territory he inherited from his grandfather to the Church, and he himself dragged his disabled body alone on the road to the Holy Land to pray for salvation, it may even be a one-way trip, he may not even be able to reach the Vatican because of his old age, but he still embarked on the journey so without hesitation, without even leaving himself a little nostalgia in his hometown, I must confess that this touched me, Consul, and that it was in no way inferior to the miracles that were presented to the Holy See, and I even thought that perhaps this was the revelation he received from Sister Alfret, which made him finally decide to give up everything that was so precious in the eyes of the world, and to set him on the right path of asking for the Lord's forgiveness. ”

Carolet looked at Alexander with a gloomy face, he actually wanted to retort loudly, and even directly ordered the guards outside the door to arrest this cheap son-in-law of the Pope from the Vatican and hang him upside down on the torture stake for a whole day, so that he knew what kind of place this was and who he was dealing with.

But in the end, that bit of reason told him that he couldn't do this, this man was not only an emissary from Rome, but also not only the papal son-in-law, who was said to be a hero who saved the Balkans, and he even fought with the Ottoman Sultan alone, and it was incredible that he actually won.

This made Carolet have to be cautious, because he didn't know what kind of attitude the queen would have in this matter, and because the Duke of Rometesia was sitting in front of him like this, so the way to solve the annoying guy in front of him in secret was obviously useless, Carolet suddenly found that she didn't know how to deal with this person.

This annoyed Carolet's heart unspeakably, especially at the thought that this man even knew where Don Bavi was, he felt like he was going crazy.

"Duke, perhaps you can tell me the whereabouts of Don Bavi, and I assure you that none of the things you feared about the Duke do not exist, and any conspiracy to try against Don Bavi does not exist."

Carolet still tried to convince Alexander, but his efforts were obviously useless, Alexander did not hesitate to refuse his request, and before leaving, he even said something to Carolet that he could not be indifferent: "Forgive me, Archon, not because I don't believe you, but because it was the request of the Duke of Don Bavi, and he told me that it was a revelation he had received from the Sister Alfort, and it was clear that the nun had said more than that. Since Duke Bavi could give up his status and wealth because of her words, he would definitely listen to her in other matters. ”

Carolet looked at Alexander, who had turned to leave, and he suddenly wanted to meet Sister Alft, who was said to be dead, and although he suspected that all this might just be a trick by Don Bavi, this nun had obviously piqued his interest.

As for the Duke of Rometesia, Carolet felt that although this man did not agree to his request, it did not mean that the whereabouts of Don Bavi could not be found from him.

Carolet decided to send someone to keep an eye on the duke, and although it was rude to do so, the consul had no choice.

The news Alexander brought to him was so shocking that Carolet didn't even need to guess how angry Isabella would be at the thought of a Vatican land appearing in Castile.

The Church in this country does have great power, but in the end this power can only be in the hands of the Queen.

Now, if Don Bavi's actions allowed the Vatican's forces to take advantage of it, Carolet felt that it was even more serious than the Moorish invasion.

As an archon, Carolet's men were spread throughout the city of Seville, and although this did not allow him to discover that Don Bavi had already arrived in Seville, and had even quietly occupied Castle Philip on the other side of the river, it was not difficult to send someone to spy on a foreigner.

Two locals stood in the corner of a house not far away, and it was still warm at noon because the sun could shine here.

But even this kind of stalking was a chore in the season, so they secretly cursed the people who were nestled in the house until they staggered out of the corner.

"Is this guy drunk?" One of them said strangely that he saw the man staggering in their direction, and as the man approached, they saw that blood was pouring from the stomach he was holding.

"What's going on?" The two men were taken aback, but by the time they jumped backwards, the man who had suddenly appeared had already collapsed in front of them.

The two of them immediately turned around in panic and tried to leave, but at some point, there were already several sailor-like people standing behind them.

Before they could speak, one of them, who looked like a leader, drew the sword from his waist, and immediately several swords that glittered with cold light landed on the necks of the two men.

"This man stole my money, but I didn't find it from him, but now they're coming for you," looking at the broker who had fallen to the ground and was already dying, and then at the two men who were just about to tell the story when the man next to him gagged them with rags, James shook his head at the two men, "I said guys, you're in big trouble." ”
