This kind of affection also attracted private criticism from the guards of the High Court Palace.

In fact, this person was a "fake actor" found by Howard, and the person who really entered was the honorable Grand Duke of Venice.

Because it was in his own territory, when he felt that he had sown enough, Howard found a reason for his sudden illness and death, and turned this "fake husband" into existence.

When the woman was handling the funeral in Venice, she also had a lot of discussions with Howard and finally produced offspring.

Since it was not yet possible to determine whether it was a man or a woman, after the lady returned to the territory, she was placed by other family members and the knights under the territory, waiting for the birth of a male heir at the end of the time.

Seven months later, a son was born, but the child had six fingers on his left hand and a thinner finger extending from his finger.

At the time, this was seen as a "wizard's finger" and had a bad omen.

Then the members of the family, who wanted to seize the territory, bribed the servant that the lady had taken to Venice, accusing her of adultery with the Grand Duke of Venice.

However, the woman denied it, and they did not dare to go to the mighty Venice to catch the adulterer, and in the end, the royal family ruled that the woman handed over most of the land, leaving a barren land that could barely be called a knightly domain of a village.

Unable to endure poverty, this noble lady in the prime of life later sent a letter of help to Venice.

The words are earnest.

Because Howard is suave and in a high position, getting along in the past few months has also made this lady secretly agree, and even thought of abandoning the poor village and bringing her son to Howard.

A grand duke, how can he let his mother and son live a very good life, even if he can't become a legal illegitimate child, he can live a noble life according to his ex-husband's family name, and marry a Mediterranean noblewoman in the future.

But Howard didn't care, it was just a "dew marriage".

A woman who had just lost her husband asked for help from her, and she came to her aid with a kind heart.

And now the woman wants to rely on this child to ask for feedback, it is obvious that this matter is unfair and does not conform to her own code of conduct.

Howard never replied, he was not afraid of the woman making it public, although he had many illegitimate children, he always only valued orthodoxy.

His deceased wife, Yuan Pei, gave birth to his eldest son, Hansen (who later left Bran) and several sons (who later died when the duchy was breached).

The other children were passers-by.

The viscountess couldn't wait, and finally gave up, although she did not tell her son about her life, but when the son later sorted out his mother's belongings, he found all these stories from the letters.

The Grand Duke of the Peninsula turned out to be his own father?!

Spices fill the streets, exotic merchants gather in Venice, dragon slayers, seven-star swords......

At the age of thirteen, the young knight named Bagyi could not bear it anymore and set out on the road south to find his father.

Although the situation in Venice was turbulent at that time, the Palazzo Gauting, which was established by generations of grand dukes, still exuded prosperity.

After dusk, when the sun sets over the spired towers covered with gold leaf, it creates a kind of brilliance.

The aristocrats fought beasts on boats, drank and had fun, and wore oriental silks, and not many people thought that this was the last glory.

Giving away all the money he had, the boy finally got his way, and during one of Howard's trips, Bagui stopped his father's car.

It was a wide carriage drawn by six good horses.

Only the King of Bavaria has ever traveled like this.

When he saw his father for the first time, Baghui's heart burned with fire, and his hands trembled as he sent the letter out.

The father's appearance is very heroic, which makes people feel good at first sight, and he does not look like a rude aristocrat at all.

On my father's side, there were a few handsome aristocratic teenagers riding horses and laughing, probably their own brothers, right?

The white silk they wore had only been seen in the royal family and the nobles, and the horses they rode were tall and mighty, all of them were white horses, and the yellow horse they rode was thin and short, like a donkey.

Maybe I'll be one of them, and I'm full of ideas.

After a few lazy glances, Howard finally had the letter returned to the boy, whispered a few words to the officer in his ear, and then drove away.

Later, a middle-aged official stopped the young man and said, "Guests from the north, on the orders of His Highness, I will provide you with food and lodging services, as well as customs clearance documents, you can visit Venice for a few days, here is a little coin." ”

Since this young man has worked so hard to find, he will send away some travel expenses, and Howard is very decisive.

Of course, if the teenager wants to travel, it can be drunk, women, anything.

This is a little bit of heart for an illegitimate child as a father.

In the end, Bagui chose to take the money, and he returned to Bavaria in anger, never to find Howard again, and tried to learn martial arts.

Later, due to war injuries and unable to have children, he married the daughter of a pregnant merchant and gave birth to a nominal legal heir.

At the age of forty, he entered the Livonian Order, and today he is the "deputy commander" of the order.

This time, I will also come to Rome with the envoys of the country.

……

The room was so warm that no longer had to wear coats, and the two of them swept away most of their food, occasionally burping, and the conversation continued.

"Hoffman, do you really want to go back to Austria?"

"Yes, I was old enough to inherit my deceased father's land, and now my uncle is in charge of that land, but he is a bastard, and the serfs don't like him, and he doesn't manage it very well, at most in half a year, I'll go back. By the way, if you're going to Bavaria, you're sure to see the 'Alain Princess' of Bohemia, who claims to be an angel in her face, and send me a portrait when the time comes. ”

"For the sake of a woman, it is not worth it to go to war like this, no matter how beautiful it is, originally Bavaria and the Poles could form an alliance to resist the Rus' and nomads further east, but now they directly turn their faces, and it also causes East Bohemia to be pierced by the Rus' to pierce a gap." Bran shook his head

"Speaking of Rus, the Black Sea region to the east of the Rus, are you familiar with Bran? I was there when I was nine or ten years old. At that time, that place was the domain of the Magyars...... The women of that tribe are not good-looking, their faces are always red, there is always a fishy smell on the men, a kind of milk wine that they like to drink, the sour is terrible, the men are all totem tattoos of all ages, and the cavalry charges, shouting fiercely like the devil...... However, in the past two years, I have heard that it is not good, and a new steppe tribe has risen in that part of the Black Sea, which cannot be regarded as new, they are called 'Tatars'. From the time of the Eastern Romans to the Black Sea, now following a 'female khan'".

"Female Khan? How could a woman command the steppe. Bran put down the last rib in his hand.

"Yes, I was as surprised as you when I first heard about it, I heard that this female khan was backed by the Byzantine Ashklai, two months ago, the Magyars united with some foreign nomads and launched a crusade, a total of nearly 30,000 people from twelve tribes, divided into twelve battalions, and attacked the Tatars with all their might, and the entire Black Sea tribe and the lords of Central Asia were shocked."

This war was later known to historians as the 'Battle of the Twelve Wings', and the situation has not yet reached the peninsula.

"I know the Magyars, but aren't they divided into several divisions to attack each other, and now their strength is greatly reduced, otherwise it used to be the Nightmare of the Orthodox Christians (Byzantine Faith) or the Lords of Light in the Black Sea region." Brandau.

"yes, God Bless Cross." After Hoffman made a cross gesture, "This battle was very large, and tens of thousands of people were led by a man named 'Hutuchi'. ”

The first time Bran heard about this man, he didn't know who it was.
