Chapter 258: Negotiation (II)

"It seems that Your Majesty is a little prejudiced against us?" Elenor said helplessly, but it seemed to Belschis that he was just acting. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although it is ashamed to say, in fact, what he negotiated with Elennor in front of him was how to divide Poland? How could the two orphaned widows, Yadwija and Bonifazia, control the entire kingdom, especially when their most powerful supporter, General Kurak, was no longer there.

But without the support of one party, it is impossible for the little girl Bonifazia to wear the crown.

"There's no prejudice, it doesn't seem like it's about me, does it? Archduke Cons Dante...... Wrong...... Where is His Royal Highness the Knight King? At this moment, Yadwiga's face was as calm as water, and there was a faint meaning in her voice, as if she didn't care, but in fact, Yadvja's heart was very angry...... In his opinion, Constance, Dante and these papal men are actually one and the same.

It's just that they look at each other and are silent.

Suddenly, a faint smile appeared on Eleno's face, and he said: "Actually, I want to be able to remind Your Majesty that even if Princess Bonifazia becomes the king of Poland, she is only a tyrant in the eyes of the monarchs of the Western countries without being elected by the free king, and the position of Poland is undoubtedly a piece of fat, do you really want to choose to turn your back on the Pope?" ”

This seemingly casual sentence actually really poked at the other party's weakness, and Yadwiga's face moved slightly, but she didn't say anything. Of course, she knew the truth of this, knowing that Poland's national strength was undoubtedly weak, but it also had great potential. It is undoubtedly located in a position where it can gain access to power from the East and the West, but it also causes a great deal of trouble. That's what so many countries are watching. As early as the Magyars and Normans ravaged the Poles, the Poles were ravaged by war. More importantly, their western neighbors, the Holy Roman Empire, were at odds with each other, but one thing was certain: their desire for land was staggering. Now, if it weren't for the restrictions of the Holy See, I am afraid that the eastward movement of the Holy Roman Empire would have been in full swing.

Eleanor is warning Adevica that if they fall to Constance Dante, it means that they will completely lose the protection of the Holy See and become the target of the nations.

Seeing the wavering in the other party's expression, Elenor put away her smile and looked at Beltis and said, "Since you and I can't resolve our differences, then in my opinion, it would be better to let Her Majesty decide for herself." ”

But before Bersches could speak, at this moment, an indifferent voice suddenly sounded.

"I'm afraid this kind of thing doesn't have to be like this! Didn't you say you yourself were going to fight against the cardinal? Berchis looked at Elenor and asked, he understood the woman's thoughts, if this continued, Yadvgya would definitely be on the other side, no matter what, the power they provided would definitely not be comparable to that of the Pope, not to mention that they themselves could not guarantee that they actually needed the help of Poland.

"That's true, but cardinals won't allow that to happen, and if you think the Pope will monopolize Poland, don't worry. You and I haven't reached the point where we meet each other in arms! Elenor said suddenly.

But Berthes scoffed, "Do you think I'm going to believe it?" Our goal is to restore the new Roman Empire, and that means liquidating the traitors! And among them is your father! Sooner or later we will start a new war! ”

But in the face of Berhis's naked threat, Elenor did not pay attention to it at all, but said teasingly: "You are not joking to revive that which is already out of fashion. In contrast, are you the worst enemies back in the East really us? Are the nobles who were drunk and dreaming of death in Nicaea really willing to hand over power to His Royal Highness the Knight King? ”

"You-" Berchis choked, unable to refute.

This was undoubtedly the biggest problem, and he certainly understood that Vivien's previous attack on Constantinople was undoubtedly caused by the betrayal of some of the nobles of Nicaea. And since the collapse of the New Roman Empire, the friction between the remnants of the empire - Nicaea, Trebizond and Epirus - has even outweighed the rebellion against the kingdom of Neobullard, and its irony!

"So what?" I saw Berchis look at the other party with a heavy face and asked.

"So I want to be a win-win situation, and if you want to return to the East, you have many, many enemies, but that also means that you have many potential allies. It's a great deal! Elenor replied cleanly.

"What a businessman's mind!" Berchis said with some emotion.

"Of course, my father was a businessman. In fact, it makes no sense whether we are fighting for Poland or not, Poland is too far away for you, can it really help you to gain a foothold in the East? Only the Pope can help you in secret. The Pontifical See is merely paralyzing the cardinal opportunity by maintaining its apparent allegiance. Elenor replied indifferently that Alfonso had been a Norman tax collector at the beginning, but with his deep pockets, he gained the power of the governor and eventually became a confidant of the new Roman Empire.

It seems that Elenor's words have had an effect, and Yadwiga's expression seems to have changed somewhat, and it is indeed possible to get the support of the Pope, and the persuasiveness of the coronation far exceeds that of the free king. It's just that the way she looked at Belheath also changed.

It seems that Constance Dante did not betray himself, and the cooperation of the Pope's people in front of them was only a coincidence. But now it seems that it is more rational to cooperate with the Pope. For the head of a country, how to maximize the interests of the country is the first choice.

And just as Jadwiga hesitated, Elenor seemed to think of something and said, "By the way, I almost neglected it." I think it's time for Her Royal Highness Princess Bonifazia and Her Majesty Adwetja to meet, I'm afraid I'm very worried. ”

Immediately, the whitefriar, who had already been prepared, pushed open the door, and in front of them stood a lovely girl in a gorgeous dress, none other than Bonifazia, the daughter of Yadwija.

"Queen Mother—" The moment she saw her mother, a light flashed in the girl's eyes, as dazzling as a match in the darkness.

"Bernia!"

Completely ignoring the long skirt and high heels on the ground, Bonifazia threw herself into her mother's arms and immediately cried, in this short period of time, each other faced the test of life and death, and felt that it was extremely long, even Yadvica could not hide her excitement and hugged her daughter tightly and cried.

The room was peaceful and quiet, no one bothered the mother-daughter reunion after a difficult journey, but Berhis's eyes were more meaningful when he looked at Eleno.

The other party was more thoughtful than he originally thought. And more importantly, there was an absolute disadvantage between them from the beginning, that is, it was not Constance-Dante who saved Jadwigga and Bonifazia, but the woman in front of him.

Looking at each other, Elenor didn't react at all, just looked at the mother and daughter in front of her with some distraction, as if she was remembering something.

In those eyes, Berchis seemed to notice that there seemed to be some warmth in the cold ice.

"Lord Elenor." Suddenly, Berthes stood up from his seat and saluted the woman. "If I can, I hope it will be enough for me to leave for a while, after all, the final decision still needs to be decided by His Royal Highness the Knight King."

"Of course, after all, Her Majesty Adevica hasn't made a decision yet, has he?" Elenor replied cheerfully when she came back to her senses, and agreed to the other party's farewell, and her eyes immediately became a little delicate. Of course, she knew the other party's intentions, but Elenor was not worried about the final result at all, and seemed to have absolute certainty.

……

Are they those from Novgorod? Whether it was Solzhenitsyn or the other Rus' nobles, of course he knew that he had offended too many people during his three years in Novgorod, and they were not surprised that they really had any Constance Dante.

At this time, Constance Dante only thought in his heart that those people would be his enemies, after all, if he went to the East, the only force he could rely on was the new army he had trained!

"Brother Consitine Dante......" and Ekarina, who was looking at Consitine Dante as the narrator, suddenly said, "I wonder if I can contact my parents, they must be dying of anxiety when they find out that I am missing." The girl's face was full of anxiety, in fact, it was her parents who had been worried about Ekarina all along, and in fact the Chuikovs were heartbroken to find out that their daughter was missing.

Constance Dante nodded and said, "Don't worry! I'll send you back then. He knew that the disappearance of so many days would definitely make Uncle Chuikov and Aunt Katyusha grief, and every day that passed would be torture. However, as soon as these words were spoken, a gloomy look appeared on Ekarina's face, and the girl looked at Constance Dante with some resentment and said:

"Brother Cons, Dante, I think...... I want to stay with you......"

Constance Dante looked at the girl with a slightly flushed face, but quickly regained his composure, "Ekarina, Uncle Chuikov, they are worried about you, you shouldn't let them worry." Of course he wasn't stupid, but he knew that Ekarina was more of an admiration for him, and that following him would only face many dangers, and he didn't want to cause misfortune for Uncle Chuikov's family. In his opinion, the dangers he faced with him were unpredictable, and he wanted to protect many people, but in the end it ended in tragedy.

And hearing Constance Dante's refusal, Ekarina's face immediately showed an anxious look. Although she was taken captive, it was very sweet to see Constance Dante again, and the girl at this moment did not want to leave Constance Dante at all. "As long as mom and dad know I'm safe, they'll be relieved, and ...... And I can take care of Brother Cons, Dante's. ”

But Constance Dante shook his head without hesitation: "But even so, will Uncle Chuikov and Aunt Katyusha really rest assured?" Only when I return to your parents can I feel at ease. "He was telling the truth, it was really dangerous to be around him, and Consei-Dante did not want to do that, otherwise it would be another regret that could not be ended. And he looked at Ekarina, who was overwhelmed by emotion, and said: "And in comparison, is it more important to take care of me or to accompany Aunt Katyusha, Uncle Chuikov?" ”

Ekarina, who was asked by Constance Dante, had no choice but to bow her head, she understood that she was impulsive just now, but how she hoped that her Constance Dante brother could keep her!

And Constance Dante also sensed the girl's loss, and combed the somewhat messy hair with his hand, and said in a gentle tone: "At least this way, so that I can really feel at ease." ”

"But I'm scared...... If that were the case, Brother Consz Dante would never come back. Although she wanted to speak, Ekarina, who had the courage, still said what she wanted to say.

Constance Dante, who was slightly stunned, obviously didn't expect Ekarina to say this, but then withdrew his hand with a smile, "How could it be?" I'm just going to go back and pick up my sister, and then she and I will live in Novgorod until we are old, and whether or not I will take her to Uncle Chuikov's house as a guest, so that she can also teach Ekarina to play the piano. ”

"Really?" Ekarina, who was a little distracted by the scene described by Cons, muttered to herself, this was an agreement a long time ago, when Ekarina wanted to learn piano, but Consitine Dante would not, but when talking about it inadvertently, Considine Dante said that Sophia actually played quite well when she was in seminary.

"Ahem, sorry to bother me at this time!" At this moment, Berches was standing outside the door looking at Constance, Dante and Ekarina, and the atmosphere was indeed a little ambiguous, and the others were on the other side of the room.

"Berhis......" Constance Dante was also a little surprised, this was the first time that the other party had spoken to him in such a strange attitude, which made him have to be a little confused. But Constance, Dante followed Berches out.

"What's wrong?" Constance Dante asked, apparently the negotiations were not going well, but Berhis's attitude gave him even more confusion. In fact, Constance Dante himself had expected this, but he himself was not interested in controlling Poland, and he did not have any hope, and even if Poland eventually fell to the Holy See, it would not be completely unacceptable, provided that the positions of Jadwigga and Bonifazia could be secured.

But Berches spread his hands slightly,

"Then Your Highness, please tell me about whether you had a fiancée thirteen years ago!" (To be continued.) )
