"Poland will give its full support to the Apostolic See, as long as the Apostolic See can crown Bernia. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 In the end, Adewija made a decision, and it didn't surprise Elenor at all. At such times, the coronation promised by the Pope is more powerful than any support, and it is more reliable than believing in a knight-king who cannot be protected by himself.

"......" and Elenor looked at Yadvica in front of her with interest and did not speak.

And Bonifazia looked at her mother in surprise, she didn't expect her to do such a thing, grabbing the hem of her mother's clothes, the little girl looked at a loss, not knowing what to do.

Seeing Bonifazia's expression, Elenor was also thoughtful, and a calm smile spread on her face.

"And what do you think of our future queen?"

The woman's expression was a little ambiguous, and that look made Bonifazia feel as if she had been stabbed.

It was a strange feeling, but Bonifazia knew she had to make a decision.

"Queen Mother...... I...... I don't want to be crowned! ”

"What are you kidding, Bernia!" Suddenly, Yadwija's face changed sharply and she scolded her, and the raised slap immediately made half of the child's face red and swollen. And Bonifazia looked at her mother with a consternation that she had never thought before, she didn't expect her mother to beat her. The consternation in Bonifazia's eyes was greater than the grievance in her heart.

"But...... Uncle Cons, Dante...... "Bonifazia's eyes fell into tears."

And Yadwigga looked at her daughter with great pain, this is not a cover-up, she understands that if she can be crowned this time, she can completely reverse the decline of the royal family. Originally, his father was not officially recognized by the Holy See because he was not able to become the king of Poland, and in addition to being hostile to the nations, the worst thing was that the princes of the country would use this as a pretext to launch a rebellion at any time. Even if she turned her back on Constance Dante this time, Advita decided that she had to do it, only then could she give Bonifazia a stable life.

"What a funny kid?" Suddenly, Elenor giggled and looked at the girl in front of her without any meaning, just that she was a little cute.

"I'm sorry, Miss Eleno." And Yadvika's eyes when she looked at Elenor were no longer as cold and hard as before, but full of worry and expectation.

"Rest assured, Your Majesty Yadwija, and of course Her Royal Highness Princess Bonifazia, the coronation is not too difficult for the Holiness. And Constance Dante, that is, the Knight King, His Royal Highness doesn't have to worry. Elenor looked at the big tear-stained eyes staring at her fiercely, but she didn't feel sorry. But looking at Yadwigja's expression was a little subtle, "It's just that Your Majesty, sometimes power is not such a wonderful thing, so you must think about it a lot before holding it." After that, the meaningful smile on her face made Yadvette feel uncomfortable too.

That's when --

The knock on the door attracted the attention of the three women, and at some point Cons Dante had already appeared in front of the door, and the whitefriars did not obstruct it at all, because Elenore had already given instructions before.

Constance Dante looked at them, although there was a faint smile on his face, but it was thin, and it was even more indescribable.

"Your Highness Justidine, you are indeed here." Elenor said casually, unfazed by the conversation she had just had with Adevicia, which had been deliberately meant to be heard by Constance Dante, although it meant something to dig into.

"It's really worthy of being an envoy of the Holy See!" Constance Dante didn't look at Jadwiga at all, he didn't have much hope for Polish Constance Dante, the connection between the two sides was already very thin, since there was such a backer as the Pope, why did Jadwega have to be on his side? Everyone understands the truth, and so can Constance Dante, but even then he can't treat her like this.

"That's a compliment!" Elenor shrugged her shoulders slightly, and accepted Consité Dante's "compliment" as a deserved.

"If that's the case, then there's nothing more to talk about." Constance Dante's voice instantly became boring.

"Uncle Considine Dante—"

"His Highness Justine—"

Elenor and Bonifazia shouted at the same time, and the two subconsciously glanced at each other, and Constance Dante also stopped.

Elenor looked at the flustered Bonifazia and smiled indifferently, to be honest, this woman rarely shows a real smile, but always looking at Bonifazia will show this rare smile, there is no element of falsification, which makes Constance Dante also a little puzzled.

"What do you want to do, Miss Elenor?" Constance Dante paused and looked at the woman and asked coldly.

"Although this matter is over, it doesn't mean that there is no more to do, isn't it, Your Highness? For example, what the Pope wants you to accomplish, as well as some of the places we have traveled to the East, we need to talk about it. Elenore said quietly, it is clear that the Pope and the New Roman Empire were once the biggest enemies, under the planning of Pope Ingwe, the Crusaders once launched a crazy attack on Adrianople, and everything was finally crushed by Consdérale, who was the Knight King.

"Forget it, it doesn't matter to me......" Constance Dante turned his gaze to Bonifazia.

"Uncle Constance Dante...... I...... Actually, we ......" Bonifazia wanted to defend herself, but she couldn't speak, what she had done just now was to unilaterally terminate the agreement with Constance Dante.

And Constance Dante didn't blame anything, just showed a relieved expression, and said in a harmonious voice: "At least I have completed the task that I was supposed to complete, and there is nothing to apologize for." At least you can have a future of your own. He also looked at Adewija.

"Your Majesty, I think I've fulfilled my original promise." Although the other party did not pay the original price, Constance Dante did not blame anything too much, "It's just that I hope you can not be confused by the desire for power, and at the same time, you will not let Bernia be hurt by this." With that, Constance Dante prepared to turn and leave.

However, Elenor's cold voice rang out.

"Strange, Your Highness, are you here just for that? Or do you not care about your sister at all? ”

As soon as the words fell, Constance Dante's boots as he stepped out of the door paused suddenly, and Constance Dante turned his head and looked at the woman without any expression, "So you're finally going to tell me this?" ”

……

Far east, the city of Trabizon.

It was the capital of the kingdom established by some of the remnants of the New Roman Empire after its dissolution. Despite being far from Constantinople, it has always been the most powerful place to fight against the New Bullard Kingdom. Compared to the Nicaean Empire, which had just declared its legitimacy, the Kingdom of Trebizond was more concerned with expelling the Seljuks and Rastines to restore the glory of the empire. Twenty years ago, when the new Roman Empire was not facing a great crisis, but Angros, the grandson of Emperor John of Emperor Scipio's predecessor, realized that the potential threat was approaching the empire, so he requested to garrison the important town in the east, the predecessor of the Kingdom of Trebizond, the Duchy of Tapezon.

Fighting against the Seljuk invasion on the one hand, and away from the increasingly politically chaotic Constantinople, Trebizond was able to remain intact and fight against the increasingly powerful Crusader states after the Father of the New Roman Empire.

It's just that its enemy is not just the kingdom of New Brad, in fact, the threat of Epirus and Nicaea is ever-present, and the Seljuks of the East have always coveted the fertile lands of Trebizond and the thriving trade and shipping.

And in recent years, as the new round of crusade in the West began again in full swing, Trabizon also had to get nervous, originally their main enemy was only the Seljuks, although nominally in Constantinople the New Brad Kingdom is a common enemy, but the two sides are too far away to cause much war, but at the same time, part of the empire, the Kingdom of Nicaa often creates friction, skirmishes.

"How's it going?" In the palace, a dignified man asked.

"The situation seems to be very bad, Your Majesty!" Looking at the man with the crown, the general immediately bowed his head again, everything here imitated the court style of the new Roman Empire, and the man sitting on the throne seemed to be wearing a purple robe that symbolized imperial power, holding a golden scepter in his hand.

And he is the ruler of the kingdom of Trebizond, the Duke of Anglos, oh no, it should be King of Angelos.

"Keep talking!" The man's voice seemed to have supreme majesty.

"Yes, Caesarea has been broken by the Crusaders, and although most of the Seljuks have successfully broken through, they are undoubtedly too weak to stop the Rastines from marching." The general told the king in front of him everything he knew, and there was nothing to hide.

There was a faint uneasiness on Angelos's face, and his eyebrows were tightly intertwined. The Seljuks were enemies, of course, but they were not the worst enemy at this moment. It is true that they have always wanted to weaken each other, and the other side has also secretly supported the Empire of Nicaea and wants to annex itself. But due to the beginning of the madness of the crusaders, everything was completely different. Caesarea is an important town in central Anatolia, and once it is lost, it means that the Crusaders have gained a firm foothold, and they can annex this Anatolia and shake the foundation of Seljuk rule, and retreat can open the way to Jerusalem to support the Crusaders who are fighting the Crescent Empire there, forming a powerful pincer offensive.

More importantly, in the current situation, it is very likely that the enemy will target the signs of an attack on them - the important town of northern Anatolia, Trebizond. That would be the worst.

"Your Majesty—" The chamberlain beside him saw that Angelos' face was a little ugly, and quickly knelt down in front of the throne in fear and said tremblingly. "Please take care of your health." Due to its proximity to the East, the court atmosphere of the Kingdom of Trebizond was closer to the East than that of the New Roman Empire, and in addition to the Mosaic portraits of Herod on the walls, there were also landscape paintings with Oriental characteristics.

"I'm fine!" Anglos waved his hand to let the chamberlain stand down, now he was more concerned about the impending war. "What is the situation like now? Is it possible to attack us? This is his main concern, in front of the Holy See, Trebizond is like a worm that can be easily pinched to death, and at this time survival is a line between the line.

And his general told him the news that reassured him-

"Please also rest assured, Your Majesty, that now the Seljuks are also mobilizing their armies to prepare for the recovery of Caesarea, and the Crusaders have no intention of dealing with us at all. It's just—"

"Just what, Simon?" The second half of the sentence seemed to be a little hesitant, which made Angros feel very uncomfortable, and couldn't help but ask.

"It's Nicaea, and there seems to be something unusual about their behavior." Simon paused for a moment, but still, voiced his concerns. "Now it seems that the Nicaean Empire is secretly doing something, unilaterally tearing up the treaty with the Seljuks, taking the initiative to attack Anatolia and annex those isolated Turkic cities, in order to strengthen its own power. There also seem to be signs of military action on our borders in the near future. ”

"You mean—"

The astonishing edge flashing in Angros' eyes made General Simon's heart chill, and he quickly nodded and said: "Yes, there is information that the Nicaean seem to be in tune with the Crusaders, otherwise they would not be able to accept such a large territory so easily, and even the Crusaders will return the Nicaea that they occupied at the beginning to them." ”

"Bastard!" A roar of rage made Simon tremble, and he didn't dare to look the man in the eye at the bottom of the steps. The weakness of the Nicaean had thoroughly infuriated Angelos. Located on the other side of Constantinople, Nicaea was blessed with a unique geographical location, and with the help of the Turks, who were the most likely to defeat the Rastines and retake Constantinople, Angelos was willing to abandon his old suspicions and cooperate with him to revive the empire. However, the internal power struggle of the other party gave up the opportunity and remained hostile to Trebizond, which finally led the man to break with it completely. And now, learning that the Nicaeans were actually in collusion with the Crusaders made Angros even more unacceptable to this outcome, and his anger almost made his chest burst. (To be continued.) )
