Chapter 326: The Queen (Part II)
"Oh? Does Your Majesty already know? Marshal Mauser also looked up indifferently and said calmly, as if he was just talking to a woman about a trivial matter that was not worth mentioning. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
But it was very harsh in the ears of Constance Dante, and sure enough, the other party was even blinded by Adevicia. He became more and more convinced of the dangers of the trip. But it didn't make Constance Dante retreat in his heart, on the contrary, his heart was more firm in his previous judgment, and what could be solved once and for all was to let Bonifazia ascend to the absolute throne. Otherwise, Constance Dante would not be able to go to the East with peace of mind.
"Hmph, how long do you want to hide it, Marshal?" The woman stood on it, and although it was very far from the ground, the clear voice was still audible to everyone.
Even if they can't see a woman's face clearly, they can still detect disdain in the woman's sneer.
Who the hell dares to speak like this to Generalissimo Mauser, who leans towards the government and the opposition!
"Please be uneasy, Lady Aruna, although you are a close attendant of Her Majesty Yadwiga, you still have to be aware of your identity." Marshal Mauser still maintained the gentle attitude of an elder, but there was a warning in his every word, and the other nobles also changed color slightly. Listening to the other party's voice, it was indeed that woman, everyone looked at the woman above, she was one of the closest attendants of Her Majesty Yadwiga, and her loyalty was naturally unquestionable.
"This conflict seems to be very delicate!" I only heard someone in the crowd shaking his head and saying, in fact, the contradiction between the princes and the royal family has surfaced. They did not take a stand, this contradiction has always existed, but due to the free royal election, the Polish royal family has always been unstable, and most of them are not from foreign countries enough to compete with the nativist aristocracy, which makes the princes more and more powerful, the only exception is Jadwiga's father, that is, the previous king, with absolute power, he has united Poland with unprecedented power. From the west, he deterred the Holy Roman Empire, which was trying to extend its power to the East, while in the north it repelled the armed intervention of the Hanseatic League, and in the south, it defeated the Magyar invasion in one fell swoop, making her sister the queen of the Magyars.
All of this led to the transformation of the originally loose alliance of nobles into a state, and during the reign of Jadwiga's father, the entire Polish nobility willingly submitted to the revolt. But just when his career was in full swing, an accident happened.
As the existence of the king, he died in the prime of life, and the middle way collapsed, leaving behind a considerable fortune, but the inheritor was a weak girl. The eldest sister of the previous king at that time was the most suitable candidate for the heir according to the tradition of the Western countries, but because of the selfishness of the nobles, they did not want to have a strong king to rule them, and they forcibly demanded that Yadwiga, who was still a child at the time, ascend to the throne and had to marry the Grand Duke of Jagieil.
……
But just when everyone thought that the royal family was going to decline completely, Yadwija's daily growth made everyone nervous. The talent revealed by Yadwija makes people find the shadow of the previous king from which girl. They were scared at last—even if it was just a girl, but that was enough to worry them. Everything they had done to the girl before made them afraid, afraid of reprisals, and because of this, they did not want to see a powerful king rise even if they supported the princes who presided over power in Warsaw even if their own interests were harmed, even if they shared power with the pagan Jagieła.
They watched nervously at this time, ostensibly a verbal conflict between Madame Eluna and Marshal Mauser, but in reality it was a clash between the princes and the royal family. Jagaiwo, who watched all this coldly, was silent, and the relationship between them and the princes was both cooperative and hostile, and the struggle for power between the two did not mean to stop at all. It's just taking advantage of each other.
"Your Excellency Marshal, it's almost the same now, I and the people in the military department have other things to prepare. If you can, you can almost go up! Jagieworth suddenly smiled and asked, not to see his wife, but to test the power of Constance Dante. For Yadwiga, the break between the two sides has long been ...... Inaccurately. They never got together, it was just a political marriage that kept the two bound together.
And all this in the eyes of Constance Dante made him feel a lot of coldness in his heart-
The man really couldn't be reassured, and Constantine felt more and more that the threat from the Lithuanians was greater than he expected at this time, and as Bonifazia's father, he didn't seem to have his daughter in mind at all.
"And what about him?" Marshal Mauser looked at the shattered mecha below, and Xiang Krivich inside was being rescued by the medical team, his injuries were obviously not light, but Jagieworth didn't seem to even look at it.
"I mean, at least I can't die, can I?" Jagieworth said casually.
And everyone was slightly stunned, they were surprised not by the ruthlessness of Jagieła, but by the obedience of those Lithuanian officers, as if in their eyes it was a matter of course.
It turns out that he has already controlled his subordinates to such a situation? What a terrible person!
Marshal Mauser also sighed slightly in his heart at the infidels, for more than twenty years, tiny Lithuania has actually developed to such a level.
"Then that's the end of this duel!" It was short-lived, but in the eyes of the aristocracy, the thrill was indescribable.
As soon as Marshal Mauser's words fell, the entire lifting platform slowly rose until the original hall, which stopped.
"Aunt Aruna!" As soon as he saw the woman waiting above, next to Constance Dante, Bonifazia threw herself into the woman's arms like a milk swallow. Eluna can be said to be second only to her mother, although Yadwija loves her daughter very much, but for various reasons she can't always accompany the girl, and this task is naturally handed over to Eluna, and Aruna also treats Ponifazia as her own daughter.
The woman's eyes showed a warm look, and then she glanced coldly at Constance Dante and said, "Your Royal Highness, Your Majesty is invited." "Apparently this woman was very hostile to Cons, Dante.
Marshal Mauser also asked, "What about us?" Your Majesty won't just let us stand here, will you? ”
"Of course not, but before that, Your Majesty has something to discuss with the Grand Duke and the Princess, please be patient." Aruna replied unceremoniously, then turned and led Constance, Dante, and Bonifazia behind a large door, and even Berhiss and Novgorod's guards were kept out and unable to follow.
As soon as Constance Dante walked in, he appeared in front of a whole row of elite guards, Cons Dante could feel that they were all veterans who had experienced the killing field, and their bear-like backs were slightly raised, and it was conceivable how powerful soldiers they would be on the battlefield, and now they were guarding the safety of this palace. The bar didn't bother to say a word to Constance Dante, he just pulled Bonifazia forward, and the guards immediately felt Constance Dante's gaze, and they also realized that the young man standing here was a murderer like them.
Going back and forth several crooked aisles, I don't know how long he had been in this palace, Constance Dante was still following Eluna, but he was not impatient, on the contrary, he looked curiously at Lady Eluna walking in front.
At that moment, Aruna stopped, but Constance Dante looked at her strangely, because the other party had led her to a wall.
However, Aruna stepped forward unhurriedly and gently slammed the wall three times. The front one is slow, the last two are hurried.
"Eluna bring in Archduke Constance, Dante." It was Yadwija's voice, coming from behind the wall.
Eluna nodded, and just glanced back at Conseidante, with a cold look in her eyes, they had a previous relationship in Novgorod, and this person had never trusted Conseidante.
I saw Aruna walking up in a black dress, fumbling to find a hidden switch on one side, and pressing the message of the mechanism. In fact, in front of Cons's eyes, the wall opened like a door.
It was a hidden chamber, and Constance Dante immediately judged that if there was danger, it would be difficult for Yadvette to be discovered by the enemy.
Aruna and Consitine looked at each other for about a second, then she waved her hand, "I'll wait outside, you and Her Royal Highness the princess can go in." ”
"Hmm." Constance Dante just nodded, took Bonifazia's hand and walked in.
Aruna looked at Constance Dante in silence, although she didn't know why Her Majesty Advita trusted the other party, but as a retainer, he was not qualified to question it.
Constance Dante and Bonifazia walked in the long corridor, this palace was so fortified that even if the dark wall was opened, there was still some distance to go, Bonifazia followed Constance Dante forward, and the sound of soft footsteps could be heard clearly in the corridor.
Finally, a light appeared in front of their eyes, and even Bonifazia was the first time she had seen the secret of this palace, and it seemed that the secret of this palace was not small.
The two of them finally came to an end-
"You're still here." With a sigh of disgrace, Advica sat on the velvet bed, a strand of long blonde hair hanging down her shoulder. The soft light shone on her pale skin, and Constance Dante could tell that the woman's body was indeed deteriorating, and it was almost impossible to find any blood.
It turns out that she also has such a weak side, in Constance Dante's original impression, this woman has always been very strong, in several conversations Constance Dante can feel that this woman has an iron fist that is not inferior to any monarch, at this time Adweta is more like an ordinary woman, less coercive than a lot of power, more like an elegant female scholar, she is holding an ancient book in her hand, this kind of book is rare nowadays, it seems that Bonifazia has a lot of habits are also influenced by this Majesty.
"Queen Mother!" Seeing her long-lost mother, the girl's eyes were full of tears and she ran up, and Yadvga also doted on her daughter into her arms.
"I'm sorry for your trouble." Jadvica looked up at Constance Dante and said, not blaming Constance Dante for bringing Bonifazia back, after all, using such means is indeed so that Constance Dante has no room for maneuver.
"The person who said this should be me, although everything has been generally calm in the past three years, but there is still a lot of turmoil. I was attacked before, so I decided to come here. ”
"You've probably heard a lot of rumors. There's no way around it. Yadwija said with a little melancholy, but the two did not meet their eyes a few times, because Yadwija's gaze had been focused on Bonifazia's body.
"After all, there is a conflict of interest, and when I agreed to your request, I was ready for it, and I have nothing to complain about. But if this continues, I'm afraid I won't be able to continue to protect Bernia. ”
"That's in the past, and now that I'm back, I'm not going to allow the same thing to happen again." Jadwica said lightly, but it made Cons Dante feel her determination
"However, this can't really be eradicated, how long can you protect Bernia, Your Majesty?" Constance Dante asked bluntly, which immediately made Yadvja's face sink.
"It's not something you should bother with." Yadwija didn't look good, but immediately felt a little out of breath.
"Queen Mother......" Bonifazia immediately saw that something was wrong with her mother, and her expression was frightened.
"Rest assured...... I'm fine......" But Yadwija's answer was weak.
"But I'm not here just to give my daughter back to you, Your Majesty!" Constance Dante said calmly. There was a determination in his eyes, which surprised Adevica too, she didn't expect Constance Dante to show such a meaning.
"Is it really worth it?" Advica looked at Constance Dante as if she wanted to find something out of his face, but found nothing, but that didn't dispel her doubts.
For the first time, she looked at the Archduke Novgorod in military uniform, and she found that this young man was very different from the beginning, and at this time, Consité Dante was already at a height equal to herself, and she had to be vigilant.
"I have no other meaning," said Consdante, "I am twenty-four years old, and I have my own things to do, but the only thing I can rely on is Novgorod, so I also need the support of Poland, and if Bonifazia can ascend to the throne, I will have no worries." Constance Dante calmly told Advica the reasons he had prepared, and Advíca's hesitation was to be expected.
But to his surprise, Yadwija shook her head, "Although there is no evidence, you are not such a person, I can still distinguish the truth from the false." Your words, not true! ”
