Warlock Royal Family

The destination of Ladislaus is the Colonna Cathedral, of course this is the official official name, usually called the Colonna Palace.

In the city of Rome, most important family mansions and churches are not separated from each other. The property of the church in name has actually belonged to an important family several generations ago.

The same is true of the mansion of the Colonna family.

Before Ladislaus had an audience with the Pope, he sent Old John to send the relic of Cardinal Colonna, that is, the sackcloth, to the Palace of Colonna. Just after he left the Sistine Chapel, Old John came back to report that the contemporary General Palauspa-Colonna, patriarch of the Colonna family and father of the dead cardinal, thanked Ladislaus for the relic and invited him to dinner at the Palazzo Colonna after his audience with the Pope Elect.

It also seems to be some sort of well-known practice that the Elected Pope never invites any visitors to dine.

Although the Colonna family is also a potential ally that Ladislaus values ​​very much.

But Ladislaus was still brooding over the unexpected meeting along the way, which gave him another migraine.

However, Ladislaus still communicated with Baron Galliani as much as possible. After all, the emperor's intention to dig a corner by himself is still very clear, and the collapsed allies will give the most nominal support. It is absolutely impossible to really work hard for the sake of allies, and it is necessary to take the opportunity to recruit troops.

In order to have a good chat with Baron Galliani, Old John was also sent by Ladislaus to help Machiavelli.

"Your Excellency the Baron, I wonder if your family has escaped from Milan safely."

"In order to ensure the peace of mind in Milan, my family was besieged by the French army and did not evacuate. This time the city of Milan was broken, and the French Cardinal Guise massacred the Church of the Girl of Misfortune in the city. Our family has always believed in the Girl of Misfortune itself. Your Majesty Bazaar, for the time being, I don’t know whether my family members have been forced to convert or have been burned to death on the stake.”

Both Ladislaus and Baron Galliani understand that as long as the "Guardian" of a family is not dead, the family cannot be destroyed. After all, if a "Guardian" who does not care about life and death and reputation decides to engage in terror Attacks, even the most authoritative monarchs in the world today have to be terrified.

The reason why the Duke of Milan's family was treated cruelly is actually related to the internal relationship of the Sforza family. The branch born from Cardinal Sforza, who serves the dark sun, is actually related to the Duke's family who believes in the girl of doom. The relationship between Zhi and Zhi is very bad, and it can even be said that the hatred is as deep as the sea.

This koan dates back to 30 years ago, when the French invaded Milan last time.

Cardinal Sforza would not desperately avenge the Duke's family at all, but now that the main branch has been completely destroyed, Cardinal Sforza naturally has to show an attitude of letting go of the past and mourning endlessly in order to rebuild the family.

Still, it cannot be said that Baron Liani's face wasn't genuinely concerned.

The country is broken, and his wife and children are separated. This is the real situation of the "protecting the country" warrior today.

It's not that Ladislaus is ignorant of this, the ambassador's servant just sent a latest information briefing.

The reason why he asked knowingly was to arouse Baron Galliani's sad state of mind even more, and the next step was to play meat.

"The loyalty of you and your family is really touching, but I have heard a lot of unfavorable rumors about you recently, which is really infuriating." It's not just unfavorable rumors. Liani's reputation has already rotted the streets.

In fact, when the city was broken, it was natural for warriors with strong force to have a greater chance of escaping, but this time the tragic experience of the Sforza family made other nobles feel sad, and it also made Galliani's reputation stink on the street.

"I can't justify myself. The duke and his son are decapitated. I really can't shirk the blame." Although Baron Galliani has been defending himself through various interpersonal channels, he is still in front of the representatives of the Habsburg family. Ladislaus, he was very humble and submissive.

"Please don't blame yourself too much. I heard that it was the Duke of Sforza who was stubborn and couldn't escape from Milan. I believe that with your protection, His Highness the Duke could have left safely." Since the other party was humble and respectful , Ladislaus is about to express his understanding in turn.

"His Royal Highness is smart and wise, but he was deceived by the traitor Massimo Moratti. This traitor has repeatedly assured His Royal Highness that as long as he worships the Maiden of Misfortune devoutly, the Maiden of Misfortune will definitely bring disaster to the head of the French army." In fact, even if the French army besieged the city, they did not distribute weapons and materials, but wanted to make sacrifices and invited the clone of the girl of misfortune, but the result was that the sacrifices were collected forcibly, causing public dissatisfaction. Who do you think the bad luck has come to now?" Galiani The baron seemed furious.

However, his act of putting the blame on the dead still made Ladislaus secretly swear in his heart. Milan City is the base camp of the girls of misfortune. It is impossible to summon a clone of a god. It is very possible, and it cannot be said to be wishful thinking, but this plan failed in the end. The French army seemed to take Milan lightly, but I don't know what the story is.

However, Baron Galliani didn't seem to intend to continue the explanation, but further talked about something that Ladislaus hated.

"The female family members of the duke's family, including the wife, aunt, and several young ladies, were also captured. Although they were not executed like the men, they were also forced to change their beliefs. Needless to say, they were all captured by France. The spoils of the warlord, the slut of the Duke of Bourbon, is really shameless." As if thinking of the fate of his wife and daughter, Baron Galliani was sad again.

This time, it really aroused the same hatred of Ladislaus. She already knew from Anna that the Sibo family had hooked up with the Duke of Bourbon, although Anna certainly would not say that she had ever been interested in the Duke, but How insignificant Ladislaus used to be against the contrast of "heavy soldiers in his hands, high position and power, noble clan, and confidant of the King of France".

But the meaning of the old Xibo asking Anna to meet the widowed and celibate Duke of Bourbon, coupled with the change in Anna's attitude during that time, combined with the information, it is not difficult to guess what happened during this period.

Even if Anna didn't say anything, Ladislaus knew that he, who was only a member of parliament at the time, was like the unpopular one among the red flowers and green leaves to a figure like the Duke of Bourbon.

It's not that Anna is ignorant of His Royal Highness's reputation for flirting, but so what?

The noble daughters who want to be his wife really make a company.

Baron Galliani, who hit the right button, didn't know his last words, which allowed him to pass the interview smoothly.

Ladislaus decided to help her speak well in front of the emperor. After all, he is just weak-willed. As long as the Habsburg family is not as desperate as the Sforza family, Baron Galliani is still basically reliable. of.

Moreover, although this "protector of the country" is in trouble, it is definitely not something that Ladislaus can personally earn. Only the warlock royal family has the qualifications to use a "protector of the country" as a minion, and the Habsburg family is afraid Who will come, who can toss the warlock royal family like the Duke of Milan?

"Your Excellency the Baron, your territory was also taken away by the French. If everything goes well in the revival of the Duchy of Milan, it will naturally be returned to your territory. If there are setbacks, please rest assured. Our Habsburg family has always sought talents. Thirst, I am not afraid that without your place, your future will only be even greater." Of course, Baron Galliani thanked Ladislaus for his guarantee.

When the carriage stopped at the entrance of the Colonna Palace, the two who were linked by jealousy and hatred for the Duke of Bourbon were already quite cordial.
