February 1320.

Palazzo Royale of the Duchy of Milan.

Bran looked at the face of the Bavarian envoy in front of him, and thought of Osseya.

After a few years of separation, if we see each other again, I don't know if she has changed a lot?

After all, it was to meet a foreign envoy, and Bran lost his mind for a few seconds, and immediately returned to his solemn face.

As a monarch, he should be temperate and steady in front of his foreign ministers.

After listening to the words of the envoy, he talked about the situation he had learned in Central Europe in order to find out about Oseya and them.

Bran was more aware of the situation of this northward resident.

Instead of becoming king himself, Kefsha put Queen Judith's son on the throne and ruled the country as a regent.

But after a long time, Judith was not satisfied with this situation, and kept pulling his hind legs.

At present, Kefusha wants to be the king himself, but if the throne is replaced, he is not a descendant of the five major princes, and there will inevitably be even greater chaos.

Kefsha's main enemy was Schwaben.

In recent years, he has also investigated Swabian's enemies, and later learned that Bran was involved in the death of the Swabian princess and the rebellion of his knights.

Therefore, this time Kefsha wanted to usurp the throne, and the first friend who came to visit was the Grand Duchy of Milan.

"Your Highness, the meaning of our regency is very clear, as long as you form an anti-Swabian alliance with our country, in the future, near the Rhine, these plains can be given to your country."

The messenger recited several places.

But after crossing the Alps, you have to pass through some territories before you can border these territories in Bavaria.

If Bran agreed to form an alliance, he would first have to send troops to conquer these places, but in doing so, he would be able to extend his territory to the vast plains of Central Europe.

There is no danger to defend, and there are enemies on all sides, which is a great risk.

Although the land is good, it depends on whether you can eat it now.

But Bavaria should still be on good terms, and Bran took what the envoy said, and immediately said that he would discuss it with the cabinet ministers, and that the envoy would go down to rest.

After asking the messenger to go, Bran fetched Simon.

Of the five ministers, Bran regularly stayed one or two and lived in the outer rooms of the High Court Palace to assist Bran in handling government affairs.

Since the establishment of the Principality, it has been Simon who has been accompanying him.

I listened to Bran's narration and read the Bavarian letter.

Simon said, "Congratulations to Your Highness, now that the prestige of our country has spread to the north, Your Highness is ......."

Sycophant opened, and then he added, "Although Swabia is a great enemy, the Bavarians have never had contact with us, and it is not good to rush north, and if we really occupy those places, we can't hold them, but since the envoy is coming, our country can verbally express its support, that is, unless Swabian attacks Bavaria, in order to contain Schwabian, our country needs to consider sending troops."

The northern territories speak German, Slavic, Viking, and have different customs, and it doesn't matter to us if there is infighting among the local Bavarian forces. ”

Now Milan's policy is to accumulate grain, build an army, and slow expansion.

Simon's analysis, Bran agrees that there is a valley to the north anyway, and now it is winter and snow, and Schwabian can't beat it.

But thinking of Iron Mountain, a traitor, Bran became nameless.

At this time, Ambu was also on standby at the High Court Palace, and Bran sent him to the town of Latan to train the guards, and had just returned with the cavalry.

Bran heard the movement outside and immediately called him.

Bran's etiquette for his men was to kneel on one knee once a day.

When Ambu had just come in and had not even knelt down, Bran hated, "How's the training?"

"No problem, Your Highness."

When Ambu didn't know what was going on, Brando, "If Iron Mountain doesn't rebel, the position of military governor may be his or Jack's, and now, the traitor must die, you know!"

"Yes, I will definitely bring the head of the traitor to His Highness one day."

Bran was suddenly affected by the pain and hatred in his body, and he was a little tired.

"The next meeting with the Slovenian envoy, you two are just right there, you go and deal with it."

This!

Ambu and Simon looked at each other, the matter of sealing the mountains and seas was caused by the two of them, and if Bran was not there, he would definitely have to meet the messenger properly, but Bran just turned a door that could be turned open, and lay down in the bedroom separated by a door in the middle of the room, listening to the voice of the two receiving the messenger.

Simon and Ambu are in the collar, Simon is sitting in Bran's place, and Ambu is on the side.

Then the two sent an order to invite the Slovenian envoy to come.

An hour later,

Nakali appeared with two Duchy Knights.

She wears a long pink dress, pearl earrings on her ears, a silver necklace around her neck, and a slender eyebrow shadow, and her demeanor is generous.

As soon as he appeared, Ambu fell in love with this woman.

Nakali is a famous courtesan of the principality.

At the age of thirteen, she married a baron, and when the baron died, Rose helped her to acquire most of the baron's property.

She has since become a staunch supporter of the Rose side.

Relying on his appearance, the main task is to "pajama" those nobles who have an interest in him.

"From Slovenia, commissioned by the Duchy, Nakali. Remilia, I've seen Lord Simon......"

The girl stepped forward, Simon stretched out, and the girl bowed her head and kissed.

And he also performed this salutation on Ambu.

Women exude a weak aura, and using women as messengers often works well.

Simon's attitude with Ambu was much better.

When Nakali sat down, the maid of the court took her cloak and cloak away, and Nakali at this time showed a good figure that was not turning around.

The snow house on his chest was white, and Angbu's lips and teeth were even hotter.

Bran was behind the door, he didn't see the girl's face, he just listened to a few people talking.

Because he knew that Bran was listening, Simon and Ambu had not seen a woman, and after a few words with the girl, they immediately turned back into important ministers who valued the interests of the principality.

One of them said, "The battle of Tongxia, the allegiance to the master is different, and the battle is over, the enmity can not be discussed, but when our country sent people to your country to hate the debt, and my country inherited all the legitimate power of the former Florence, your country should pay off this debt, but you hurt our knights, noble messenger, you say, how can this matter be settled?"

As discussed at the previous national council, it was not necessary to deliberately find fault with Slovenia in terms of détente.

It's about making the other party feel like they can't help it, and in the subsequent discussions, enhance Milan's more initiative.

But before Rose sent her out, she also considered various situations, and happened to hit one of them at this time.

When Nakari heard these words, she immediately blurted out several names.

It's all Eastern European names that sound unfamiliar.

Only Bran, who was a door away, understood.

These were the nobles who Bran had seen in the letters to collect the debts.

After saying this, Nakali took out a piece of parchment from her body.

Perfume was sprayed on the top, a faint scent of roses, which was taken by the servant and passed to Simon.

I saw that it was written that one day last year, these arrears of nobles had been punished and their property had been liquidated.

Since these nobles borrowed money from Milan's predecessors in their own name, Rose was willing to return all their property to Milan.

But the list says that after each of these nobles raided their homes, the value of their property was about a dozen cattle and sheep.

What is it worth?

In fact, only two of these nobles committed crimes, and they were punished by Rose, and the other nobles were punished by fiction.

Rose told Nakali that Milan couldn't send someone to check it, and now I was going to give them an explanation.

I know that they Milan need allies, and we Slovenia need allies.

Everyone is competing for time, and it is enough to give each other the stairs.

This vellum paper, Ambu took it, and was speechless for a while.

"Okay, then these cattle and sheep should be exchanged for the corresponding rubles, as compensation for the injured people in our country for the incident."

Nakali didn't expect Simon to be stingy and really want this, but she had to say, "No problem." ”

After both sides give face, it will be much easier to deal with many things.

Simon's county is also close to Venice and the Balkans to the east.

It would also be advantageous if you were friendly with Slovenia.

There was no smell of gunpowder in this scene, and both sides were probably satisfied with each other's conditions.

It can be embodied in four words - neutrality and peace.

That night, Nakali went to Simon's bed.

For the male aristocracy, they can feel that they are very capable of conquering beautiful women.

For female aristocrats, the nobles who are powerful in sleep clothes will have more men chasing after them and increasing their value.

The two of them both experience the joy of the flesh and want to turn each other into their admirers.

Obviously, Nakali, who was a young man with a lot of skills.

Simon had a lot of infatuation with this Eastern European woman in just one night.

Between the beds, Simon almost revealed some secrets.

Nakali was proud in her heart, men are all such creatures trapped by lust, and she may be able to sleep with the so-called lord of the North Will, Bran.

This handsome purple-eyed man, when he first entered the Gao Ting Palace, he saw it once, but he didn't see it today, but unfortunately he also carefully accompanied him and made a perfume that would make men addicted.

As the night passed, Nakali left the bed, and Simon was a little useless, she was not very satisfied.

She returned to her room, and at the same time, received a letter from another nobleman's offer.

The signature is, Ambu.

The next day, she used the same method and got some information from Ambu.

For example, Bran has a bad relationship with Blackbeard, Bran plans to go on an expedition to Swabia, etc., and she is satisfied.

When she was forced to marry a baron, only Sister Rose objected, and later it was also her sister who helped her get her wealth back.

Let yourself be in an important position.

She wants to use her own methods to be loyal to Sister Rose.

And the two ministers, who were in pajamas, came to Bran at the same lunchtime.

Bran shouted to retreat from his men, Simon poured tea for Bran, and Ambu didn't take a long sword, but instead used a knife to help Bran divide the meat.

"How's it going?"

Bran asked casually.

"It's really good, but the things in bed are far from the same, a teenage little woman, she thinks she is experienced, but I have seen dozens or hundreds of women, how can she fascinate me in one sleep." Ambu triumphant.

Although Simon likes it very much, a courtesan or something like a noblewoman is a mistress, it's not a big deal, his wife is a future Frankish noblewoman, and she can still have a relationship with the Capet family.

At this time, Zoe came in, and Ambu and Simon immediately straightened out, not daring to show any frivolity and rudeness.

If Bran is their sovereign father, then Zoe is the mother.

To marry a wife in the main palace, it is best to be a noble girl like Zoe, who has a background, bloodline, and cultivation.

Bran left the two to dine and touch his wife's belly.

The state of the bulge is more obvious the more blue.

At this time, Zoe suddenly talked about Marlene's child, who was very cute and lively.

And Desley's children too, and I hope my own children will be like that in the future.

"In the future, their children will be the knightly guards of our little Bran."

Saying this, Bran's heart moved, when she was united with Osseya, would she also have a child of her own!

Thinking about someone for too long can lead to all sorts of strange thoughts, and this thought forces Bran to find her faster.

After receiving the envoys of Bavaria and Slovenia.

Bran sent someone to Three Rivers to negotiate the next time when the two monarchs would be in person.

Bran now inherited the fame of Grand Duke Shange.

But he is not a dragon slayer, nor is he a guardian of the peninsula, the people of Italy combine his seven-star sword with a title.

Call him the "Lord of the Seven Stars".
