What had been an easy hunt was interrupted by news brought by the soldier.

The nobles gathered together to talk, and they gathered around the soldier to ask questions, and then passed through the reports he had brought.

Sophia was a little bored, and she gestured for the servants to put away the elk she had beaten, only to hear that all of them were not available when she wanted to send someone to invite the queen and Cepes.

It was clear that the hunt could not continue, and after a short discussion, Chipes suggested that everyone should return to the city as soon as possible, and that after the nobles had been gathered, the king should convene a meeting to discuss matters concerning Zagreb.

And on the way back to the city, Cepes kept thinking about the news that the cavalry had brought.

What happened in Zagreb was so unexpected, or rather a little unbelievable to many.

I know about that Viscount of Herva, Tzepes, although I am not very familiar with that person, but because of Rova?? For the marquis's sake, he knew something about what was happening in Zagreb.

Although there is no evidence to date that the Duke of Signaci of Zagreb was murdered with Roa?? The Marquis is concerned, but anyone who knows a little bit of the truth can't help but think so.

Ever since the Ottomans destroyed the Kingdom of Bosnia, the troubles over the Bosnian throne over the discontinuation of the royal family have never stopped.

If in addition to the original branch of the Persian royal family, then the one with the most chance to compete for the throne of the king is Rwa?? and Duke Signacci, the largest nobleman in Croatia.

It's just that Duke Signacci suddenly converted to Catholicism at the instigation of Sistine IV, which complicated things a lot.

There have been various legends about why Duke Signacci suddenly converted to proselytism, some say that he was inspired by God, but more people prefer to believe that he was bought and promised by Sistine IV.

Rumors that the Vatican would support Duke Signacci as king of Bosmia were not uncommon in those years, and the Croats themselves publicly declared that they would receive the Vatican's support and assistance.

It was in that environment that the Orthodox aristocracy secretly colluded, apparently believing that if allowed to develop, there might be changes that would be unimaginable to them.

It is clear that for those people, the Ottoman invasion was nothing compared to the conversion of Duke Signacci.

The murder of Duke Signacci by the nobles was simple, and it was not difficult for them to succeed at all, as they gathered a group of outlaws and suddenly attacked the duke's party, who was preparing to go to a suburban farm with a group of cronies, and in the face of the duke's party, who were completely unprepared, they killed them with little effort.

As for where the nobles got these people, and why did the murderers then easily escape the border and then go deep into Rowa?? The marquis's domain, although these were questioned by many people at the time, but in the end they were not settled.

And although there are many people who have benefited from the death of Duke Signacci, if you think about it carefully, you can find that Roy, as the duke's biggest rival, ?? The Marquis was clearly one of the biggest beneficiaries.

Thinking that those murderers could escape to the marquisdom so easily and then disappear without a trace, the duke's suspicion is naturally even greater.

Chipes was not interested in the change of power in Zagreb, but he was well aware of the importance of the city of Zagreb.

In Tzepes's mind, the northern end of the Balkan Mountains, which stretches between Zagreb and Juta, was a natural barrier in front of Bucharest, and unless the Ottomans gave up attacking Bucharest, they had to enter the southern part of the Duchy of Caniola and turn east through Zagreb before they could reach Bucharest.

And Rova, who also knows this?? The Marquis had already sent a monk's messenger before, Rois?? One of the conditions offered to Chipes was that he would come to his aid when the Ottomans arrived.

Rowa?? The marquis fought under his father, Vlad Tsepes, and in his repeated battles with the Ottomans he displayed extraordinary courage and great combat skill, as evidenced by his repeated victories and large trophies.

Because of this, although Chipes did not want to get involved in the competition for the Bosnian king, he was willing to fight with Rova?? Duke cooperation.

At least this man was unmatched in his experience of fighting the Ottomans.

But now the sudden change caught Cepes a little off guard.

The letter from Helva, brought by the young knight named Morco, was more about the support of the Patriarch of Bucharest and the nobles.

It may seem funny that a Catholic would like the support of an Orthodox patriarch, but in fact it is not surprising.

The fact that the throne of the Duke of Zagreb has been vacant for a long time has certainly aroused the covetousness of many people, but it is precisely because there has never been a duke that Zagreb has become much weaker in the future resistance to the Ottomans, just as Northern Bosnia has been a plate of scattered sand because it has always been king, which is not a good thing for Europeans in the entire Balkans.

Because of this, when he heard that Morco was a messenger sent by Helva, Cepes did not fight with Rova?? and Tzepes believed that neither the Patriarch of Bucharest nor Ladislas II of Bohemia could fail to see the importance of this.

It's just that until that time, Cepes still didn't believe that the viscount could recapture Zagreb, but no one could have imagined that things had changed so much in the past few days, which made Cepes not know how to deal with it for a while.

Paces knew that what happened in Zagreb must have taken Ladislas II by surprise, but he didn't know how the Bohemian king would deal with it.

The thought that Ladislas II was also the king of Hungary made him think that the king must have been more troublesome than he was.

Cepes guessed correctly, Ladislas II at this time was indeed having a headache about things in Zagreb.

As king of two kingdoms, Ladislas II was arguably one of the most powerful men in Central Europe.

Although his feud with the Holy Roman Emperor Maximian had always been entangled with him, Ladislas II still relied on Bohemia's mighty army to deter most of Europe.

Perhaps because of the Hussite Wars and a series of wars with the Ottomans, the Bohemian army had a different style from that of Western European countries.

This army, which was formed by mixing the bravery of the Eastern European army and the rigor of the Western European army, still maintains the residual prestige of the black army that once shocked the European continent.

However, despite this, everyone knows that in fact this is also a remnant, and in the face of the terrible Ottomans, no single country can compete with that terrible army.

Because of this, Ladislas II was in dire need of help.

Rowa?? It's a good collaborator, or maybe he's going to become the king of Bosnia, and compared to him, Viscount Helva is just a down-and-out exile, so when he first met Helva's emissary, Rhova?? Although he did not show rejection, the coldness was obvious.

But suddenly, Herva, who had said that he was not optimistic before, actually did such an unexpected big thing.

Faced with this sudden big news, Ladislas II was a little confused.

Ladislas II was like this because just a few days ago he had just met a businessman from the Vatican.

From the merchant, Ladislas II learned a piece of information that he did not yet know, and that this news was important to him.

In the Vatican, a rumor is circulating that the Fugger family is trying to buy Hungarian copper from Emperor Maximian.

When he heard about this rumor, Ladislas II almost turned his back on his anger.

Maximian has been fighting with Ladislas II for the Hungarian throne for a long time, and several times Ladislas II had to make concessions in front of the emperor, and even because of the various crises he faced, Ladislas II was not forced to agree that Maximian could get the Hungarian throne without a queen.

But such promises and concessions did not seem to satisfy Maximian, or that the Emperor was in such a hurry that he could not wait to try to exercise his power even when the promise was only 'hypothetical'.

Ladislas II was well aware of the value of Hungarian copper mines, which were an important source of wealth for the king, as expensive bronze objects and as a necessary material for the casting of artillery.

Now Maximian and the Fugger family are discussing the right to mine the copper mine in private, which is absolutely intolerable to Ladislas II.

However, the copper mine certainly angered the king, and more importantly, he sensed that Maximian was trying to take advantage of his war with the Ottomans to be distracted, and seemed to be preparing to intervene in Hungary.

No king could have allowed such a thing, and if the copper mines had touched the sore foot of Ladislas II, then Maximian's attempt to take the opportunity to meddle in Hungarian affairs was not unbearable, but painful.

It's just that the emperor was a little too powerful for Ladislas II, and now that all his energy was devoted to resisting the Ottomans, he didn't have any extra strength to contend with the emperor.

It was at this time that news came from Zagreb.

Hellva's surprise move to take Zagreb shook Bucharest, but it was something else that made Ladislas II more concerned.

In the news of Helva's recapture of Zagreb, one person caught the attention of Ladislas II.

The name of Alexandre Giulian Cambrai, Count of Montina aroused the king's interest.

What a mental illness it is for a foreign nobleman from Italy to come to the Balkans with his own dry food to help an exiled nobleman reclaim what belongs to him.

Ladislas II did not believe that anyone could have such high virtues, at least after centuries of bloody and pious sacrifice of the Crusaders, it is difficult to see the great sacrifices of chivalry in Europe today.

So the king of Bohemia could not fail to consider what exactly the appearance of this man meant.

A foreign nobleman may not arouse too much suspicion, but if he has an army and he himself has an unusual relationship with the Vatican, he cannot help but arouse too much suspicion.

Not many Balkans know where the small place of Montina is, but many do.

The father of the Duke of Pisa, this identity is enough to make many people realize that the identity of the count is not simple, but the real key is that the woman who gave birth to the duchess with him is what shocks many people.

The daughter of Pope Alexander VI, not many people know what this identity means, but it is the lover of the pope's daughter who suddenly appeared in Bosnia with an army, and the hidden things behind this are really worth intriguing.

For Ladislas II in particular, the fact that he had just heard about the copper mines and then received news from the count made Alexander wonder what kind of connection there was in it.

The Emperor, the Fugger family, the Pope, the Count of Montina and Helva, also the great copper mines of Hungary.

Ladislas II felt that he had fallen into some kind of conspiracy, and it was clear that someone was plotting against him, which convinced Ladislas II that if he was not careful, he might fall into the trap of someone else.

It's just that at this time, who exactly should he cooperate with is also a headache for Ladislas II.

It is clear that according to the current situation, although Rova?? It's an Orthodox Christian, but it should be a smart decision to support him, after all, once Rois?? As King of Bosnia, he was able to effectively organize the Bosnian nobility against the Ottomans.

And such an ally is clearly important to Ladislas II today.

But the thought of Hungarian copper mines made the king hesitate.

The status of the Count of Montina made it difficult for the king to believe that his coming to the Balkans had nothing to do with the pope, and now Maximian was trying to get his hands on the Hungarian copper mines. The alliance angered the Count of Montina, who supported Helva, and the Pope could also fall to Maximian's side, and the Hungarian copper mines might really be taken away by the hated emperor.

The king decided to meet the merchant from Rome again before the meeting to inquire from him for more detailed information.

Although he didn't know the specific origin of the businessman, he still trusted the man.

This was because the man was doing a business that seemed to be a competitor to the Fugger family, and his name was Prato.
