Chapter 206: The Heaviness of the Burden
Seeing the girl crying bitterly, Vivien couldn't stand it anymore. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Bellhis, that's enough. She's just a child. ”
"It is for this reason that I say this, and I am afraid that it will not be long before our contradictions with the Poles will be brought to the fore. After all, they and the Teutons are already a nest of snakes and rats. Berchis said coldly, judging from the information they had intercepted, Frederick II, the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, had made a great deal of effort in this operation.
"We need to prepare!"
As soon as Berchs's words came out, Bonifazia's crying came to an abrupt end, and she looked at Constance Dante in a daze.
Preparing for war?! Isn't that the war between Novgorod and her homeland will not work! The girl, who found it hard to believe this fact, had absolutely no idea what to react to. During these three years, Constance Dante was like a family member to her.
And Constance Dante was also looking at the wound in front of her, who was just a child, and among her peers, she had an extraordinary maturity, but it was not a good thing, and every time the girl grew up, she had to bear more and more weight.
Perhaps, this child will really follow the same path as her mother!
"I see, Berhis, it's been three years, and I really should go back. Of course, before that, the matter needs to be settled. Constance Dante said to Berthes.
"Yes, I will follow your instructions." Berheath knew what Constance meant and it was time to return to the East, and after three years of preparation, they had enough strength to return.
"By the way, there shouldn't be any movement in Novgorod, right?" Constance Dante asked.
"Everything is normal in Novgorod, there is no indication that they have anything to do with this incident, and as for the Poles, they don't want to say anything, and Petrov they don't seem to know much." Those Poles are completely unwilling to tell the truth, they are all elite warriors who are one in a hundred, so naturally they will not bow their heads so easily, and the others Berhiss will not be able to get anything out of their mouths.
He had corresponded with Novgorod once before, and from what they had described, the nobles had reacted normally, even if Iverulmo was so dissatisfied.
"Take a break! Vivien and I went out to have a look. Your Highness, you should bandage your wounds! With that, Berchis and Vivien left the room, leaving only Constance, Dante, and Bonifazia.
Constance Dante looked at Bonifazia with tears still on her face, and the girl still hadn't come out of the shadows before.
"Bernia, in fact, we don't blame you, it's just that sometimes some things are very helpless, and you don't have to blame yourself. To me, whether it's you or your mother, or General Kurak, they're all my friends. I wouldn't want to be their enemy. ”
"But ......," Bonifazia looked at Considine without saying a word, to whom Considine was like his own family, but he was the enemy of his own people. If that is the case, what will be the decision?
Bonifazia didn't know, and she didn't dare to imagine.
But Cons, Dante, reached out and rubbed Bonifazia's hair. "Don't be sad all day. You're still young, so there's no need to worry about those things. ”
But Bonifazia looked at Constance Dante stubbornly and shook his head, "No, I am a princess of Poland, and there are some things I have to help my mother bear." ”
Constance Dante did not know the days when Bonifazia lived in the court, at a very young age, Bonifazia felt the weight of herself and her mother, the whole country of nobles were for their own selfish interests, and her father would not appear once or twice a year, in Bonifazia's eyes her father was more like a stranger. Even Constance Dante was closer than her father, and it was in that environment that the girl had to choose to mature.
Looking at Bonifazia's little face, Constance Dante could only be silent. This girl is different from Sophia, who is more often like a kitten and extremely dependent on people close to her. Bonifazia, on the other hand, is more like the son of a true king. Suddenly, Consitine remembered Sophia, and for more than three years, he left Constantinople and came to Rus, when Consitine entrusted his sister to the princess of Ann Lotte, and could that woman really keep her promise?
"Uncle Cons, what are you thinking?" Bonifazia seemed to see that Constance, Dante seemed to be a little distracted, and asked.
"I'm thinking about my sister...... Maybe I've brought her too much. There are some things that you should not carry on your back. Constance Dante shook his head and said, as a knight king, he didn't completely give up his identity from that moment on, all he could do was escape, but the result was that he made Sophia carry something that he shouldn't have carried.
"Uncle Consei's sister?" Although Bonifazia knew that one of the reasons why Constance Dante stayed in Ross was to accumulate strength, in fact, Bonifazia only knew a little about it, and this was the first time Consciential Dante took the initiative to mention it to her.
"Well, I'm almost nineteen years old this year!" Constance Dante sighed that he should have gone back, but had to regain the authority of power in the past three years. Otherwise, he would not be qualified to re-enter the world of cannibalism to save Sophia.
"And where is she now?" Bonifazia asked cautiously.
"There's it on the southern continent. Sooner or later, I will go back to the place, or the place I am destined to go back to. Constance Dante said faintly as he picked up the gauze on the table and wrapped it around his arm, his body also had shallow scars, but they were not left by the battle, but by the ancient mecha. The electrodes connected to the nerve left a wound on Constance Dante's back, and faint traces of blood were clearly visible on Constance Dante's clothes. The ancient mecha is different from the ordinary high-level mecha, and the connection method it uses is more brutal, and if it is not treated, Constance Dante's back wound will be troublesome if it is infected.
"Uncle Consition, your back ......"
"It's just a little skin trauma." Constance Dante suddenly took off his shirt and shirt, and the **** top-tored man's body was suddenly exposed in front of Bonifazia. But Bonifazia didn't have time to be shy, and was too shocked by the shocking scars on her thin body to speak.
These scars are caused by neural connections, and what Bonifazia cares more about is the neural interface, which is the core of advanced mecha technology.
After a moment of meditation, Constance Dante took the ointment that Dr. Fabre had prepared for him, which was specially prepared for him to prevent the wound from becoming infected, in addition to relieving pain and bleeding.
Completely speechless at the wounds, she walked over to take a closer look, but didn't dare to get too close.
"Uncle Consito, your sister must be very important to you!" The girl whispered to Constance Dante.
Constance Dante was silent for a moment and shook his head, "Of course she is an existence to protect, but I have not become a competent brother. Maybe Sophia should blame me now! ”
"No, it won't!" Bonifazia suddenly said loudly, and with a serious look on her face, she said to Consitine, "If Uncle Considine were not a competent brother, he would not be willing to suffer such pain, and Sophia would not be like that." As the queen mother said, the more you cherish and give, the deeper you are, and I know that Uncle Constance's willingness to carry these must be very loving and loving your sister. I think you'll be able to pick up Sophia back! ”
Looking at the girl's serious expression, Constance Dante smiled and put on his clothes, "Thank you for your encouragement, Bernia. I think your mother and I must be in the same state of mind at this time, for the sake of the people you love, even if you are burdened with pain. ”
……
"Hurry up, how long are you going to grind?" Drinking and asking, Si Koop shouted again to keep the residents of the town busy.
"Mayor Skop." At this moment, Berthes came over.
"What do you command, Belhiss." In a hurry, the round mayor trotted over with a smile on his face.
Berthes glanced at the other party lightly and said, "You don't have to keep them busy, His Royal Highness the Grand Duke just needs to be quiet." We won't stay here for long. ”
"What are you talking about, Belhis! It's not early now, so at least we have to rest here for a night before we go, right? Skop smiled and persuaded him, where could he let go of such a good opportunity to be courteous, maybe after today, he would be promoted to Novgorod to do business.
However, as everyone knows, Skop's pretentiousness is completely like a clown jumping off the beam in the eyes of Berthes, and the faces of the surrounding residents are also very unhappy. They all hated this brazen mayor who only scavenged the people's fat and ointment.
"Whatever you want, remember to divide the money among everyone who comes to help when the time comes." With that, Berthes turned and departed.
"Yes, it is, of course it's fine, don't worry!" The fat man who nodded and bowed his head flattered to send Berthes away, and then looked around stupidly, and weighed the money bag in his arms. This is a lot of money, but although it is also very generous to distribute it to so many people, it is really unwilling. Anyway, no one knows, these adults are about to leave, and Scoop doesn't have to worry about it.
……
Warsaw, Kingdom of Poland.
This ancient city did not seem to be very prosperous, the long-term conquest made the country not very rich, and more importantly, the division of local princes made the kingdom dare not have much financial reform at all, otherwise once the interests of the nobles were touched, it was not impossible to cause a civil war. You see, the charter of this empire has a ridiculous law - the nobility is allowed to rebel. Therefore, not only the great princes, but also the counts of those places can compete with the Middle Kingdom. Jadwiga's forced marriage to Lithuania as the queen of Poland is the most prominent example.
Now, the Grand Duke of Lithuania, Jagieło, has become the regent of Poland, and although he is the de facto ruler of Poland, he is still at odds with the noble parliament, especially now, and the aristocratic power can be said to have swelled to an alarming extent.
"Did you mean lost contact, Marquis Polka?" At the round table, seated were seven of the kingdom's most prominent princes, the de facto rulers of Poland, which, unlike the electors of the Holy Roman Empire, were much stronger than might have been thought.
Every great prince sitting here has a ghost in his heart, and this room is also their private place, and even the royal family has no right to interfere.
"Yes, Your Excellency Archbishop Hussein. Deckera has indeed lost contact with us, and the fleet of the Holy Roman Empire has not received them. The man said calmly, looking at the others with expressionless faces.
"Well, it looks like we've failed!" Suddenly, one of the princes let out a sigh and couldn't help touching his gray beard, "Sure enough, this plan is indeed inappropriate. ”
"You can't be so arbitrary, Marquis Martha, didn't you have a lot of disagreement before? Besides, we don't know for sure, maybe it's possible that Dekra and them are lurking. ”
"Hmph, Novgorod can eliminate the expansion of power by assassination? In its own opinion, it is ridiculous. The white-bearded princes said coldly.
"So what's your plan? The guardianship of our princess has fallen into the hands of that Herodian, and you already know the rumors from the Holy See. I think that our involvement with the remnants of the new Roman Empire is tantamount to playing with fire. Isn't it, Martha? ”
"Enough!" Just as everyone was accusing and arguing with each other, a majestic voice rang out.
The six princes lowered their heads at the same time, they lowered their voices, and the old man sitting in the front seat slowly stood up and said:
"It's no longer time to talk about this, but because our news has leaked before. It's not just Jagiewo, I'm afraid His Majesty Yadwiga ......"
"Even if they knew, they should be fine, they ......"
"Ridiculous!" Before Polkahou could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the old man's reprimand.
"It's time to come up with a countermeasure, Dekra is missing, everyone knows that even if the sky falls, there will not be such a long period of radio silence. Fierce and auspicious! "This old man was the most powerful nobleman in Poland, Marshal Mauser, who had been the right-hand man of the previous king, but in addition to leading the army into battle, this man was also extremely politically astute.
"Then we should ......" Looking at the marshal in front of him, the other princes couldn't help but wonder what countermeasures he had. If Delkra fails, their plans may be exposed, and they will have to plan ahead in the face of Novgorod's criticism at that time.
"It's time......"
“?”
"It's time to invite the Grand Duke of Novgorod to Warsaw, and I think that Princess Bonifazia would not have come if she had known of Her Majesty's condition. When the time comes, we should be able to entertain our esteemed Highness Dante Concierge. The old man's words were cold and uncomfortable to listen to, but the princes had a clear look on their faces.
Yes, yes, Yadwiga's deteriorating condition is the most appropriate time to take advantage of it. All this time, Yadwiga did not tell Novgorod about her illness, and now they can finally take the opportunity to lure Conszandine over, even if he is not fooled, when Bonifazia returns, Novgorod's connection with Poland will be severed.
"It's you, Marshal!" Sincerely, the princes spoke praise, and the turmoil in Novgorod in the distance has not completely subsided. (To be continued.) )
