Warlock Royal Family

Today, Ladislaus and Anna went out together for the first time since they came to Rome, because the Marquise Facchetti was not far away, and the atmosphere was not intimate, but Anna did not refuse Ladislaus's hospitality.

Because the Marquise was traveling on behalf of the old Colonna city defense officer today, Anna and Ladislaus were in the same car surrounded by senior officers of the city defense army.

Ladislaus can still be happy with the Marchioness these two days, although Anna did not "come together" as he did in his dream.

But no matter what, Anna accepted the fact that Ladislaus had a lover. Although she still restored the aristocratic "ice" courtesy to Ladislaus, Ladislaus was even more eager, delicious swan Although he couldn't use the knife for the time being, he didn't fly away after all, right?

If a warlock is not coquettish, it is absolutely disrespectful to the great goddess of the magic net, Mystra.

Ladislaus guessed that this should have something to do with the letter she received from the old Xibo. The content of the letter must be asking her to hold on to Ladislaus, the former murderous enemy, in order to revive the family. The enemy has become a lifeline.

Sure enough, there are only benefits in the world.

On the other hand, the safety of her father and brother has been confirmed, which also dilutes many of Anna's unhappiness.

Today Ladislaus and Anna went to meet the old Xibo and his son.

The welcome representative representing the Church of Rome is Cardinal Orsini, who is of the same generation as the Colonna City Guard. Contrary to the Colonna family, the Orsini family is a son who holds a secular position-Navy of the Church of Rome Commander, father holds religious office.

In order to show that the Church of Rome still believed that Old Xibo was the legitimate consul of the Liguria Republic, Cardinal Orsini led a team twenty miles out of the city to meet him.

In the early morning, when the sky was twilight, the welcoming people from the two groups gathered at the city gate. The Swiss Guard only had a unit of ten people, and the Colonna family and the Orsini family each dispatched huge teams of hundreds of people.

I didn't pay attention on weekdays, but guessed that after the Pope was really elected to kill the Colonna Cardinal, Ladislaus was analyzing all this. Army, no wonder the chosen Pope sees it as a thorn in his flesh.

In addition to the navy, the Orsini family actually has such power, and it is worthy of being called a powerful force alongside the Colonna family.

And although the old Colonna city guards did not come today, Ladislaus guessed that it was to avoid too stimulating the hostile forces. In fact, this joint operation is still enough to declare that the two traditional local snake families in the city of Rome have once again formed a close alliance. .

Cardinal Orsini seemed completely unfazed by the rejection of the last invitation to Ladislaus.

Ladislaus' move to apologize to him was, in his words, "completely unnecessary."

In the past two days, two thirteenth-level priests belonging to the small and medium-sized family died, one cardinal and one archbishop. Ladislaus and Orsini met several times at the funeral, and the two sides chatted happily.

Today, he enthusiastically chatted with Ladislaus all the way, and his enthusiasm for Ladislaus was no less than that of Marquise Facchetti.

Ladislaus had just taken a "travel" across half of Italy, so there was no problem answering.

At the beginning, the two ladies interjected a sentence or two from time to time, talking about culture and history.

As the archbishop and cardinal got down to business, both women wisely listened.

"Your Excellency Archbishop Ladislaus, not only the cities in Central Italy, I visited many port cities as a naval crew in my youth, Liguria City has been there more than once, the most recent one was 11 years ago, it is really a city Prosperous and beautiful city with many happy and harmonious people," said Cardinal Orsini at last.

"That's right, His Royal Highness Cardinal Orsini, the Mediterranean provides convenient transportation to all the cities along the coast. As long as you have a hardworking and dedicated attitude towards life, you will surely have a happy life here."

"Yeah, Liguria was really a vibrant city at that time, a hundred times better than when I first visited 30 years ago, as a soldier supporting Liguria against the French invaders 30 years ago I still remember the horror and strength of the old Shure, and I once spent half a year in the Frenchman's prisoner-of-war camp."

"The Kingdom of France is indeed a huge threat to the peaceful life of the city-states in the Apennine Peninsula. It is a shameful rogue country. However, I believe that under the leadership of His Majesty the Emperor and His Majesty the Pope, we will be able to drive away the Frenchmen and rebuild a peaceful Apennine Peninsula." It sounded like Ladislaus was just blaring a bit of gobbledygook.

But Cardinal Orsini, after hearing this, his face became extremely dignified. This is because Ladislaus is using an extremely dangerous method to test his attitude.

When the Holy Roman Emperor and the Elected Pope of the Cyric Church are mentioned at the same time, which one should be placed first? This is a problem that has caused countless bloodshed for hundreds of years. Who is the highest authority in Europa? The struggle for clergy has destroyed countless brave heroes and prosperous cities since the tenth century.

As a result of the latest decision, the last male member of the Hohenstaufen family was executed in the market in Naples, all the princes of the Holy Roman Empire became de facto monarchs, and the centralized Holy Roman Empire ceased to exist .

The Elected Pope has the supreme authority and has been the first everywhere for more than 100 years.

Today, because the Habsburg family inherited the Kingdom of Spain, they have obtained a large rear area and powerful power that the Holy Roman emperors never had before. Could it be that they are once again thinking about competing for superiority? This is the situation when the French army is suppressing the border. .

Although the main body of the attack is the Holy Roman Empire of the Germans, the Kingdom of France has always been an ally of the Roman Church.

Once the Holy Roman Emperor in the past led his army into Italy, he would be attacked from both sides.

But now the Kingdom of France relies on itself to greatly exceed the population of Spain and the Holy Roman Empire, and is showing greater threats and attacks on Italy.

Because the French army is now directly threatening Rome, the intricate relationship between the two secular monarchs and the true pope makes any alliance extremely unstable and temporary.

Cardinal Orsini, who originally only hoped to get closer to Ladislaus, never expected that Ladislaus, who is already the archbishop of the Dark Church, would say such dangerous words.

Although Cardinal Orsini was dissatisfied with the series of actions of the contemporary Pope Elect, and even secretly suspected that the Pope Elect was involved in the death of Cardinal Colonna, he was unwilling to weaken the authority of the hidden church unless it was absolutely necessary. This hurt his foundation.

But he didn't dare to turn his face directly, because Ladislaus was flirting with the Marquise Facchetti at this time.

Cardinal Orsini had already seen the undercurrent between the two ladies present. He thought it was just the Colonna family who had lost their mainstay and was taken advantage of by Ladislaus.

But now he has to wonder whether the Colonna family has completely fallen into the control of the Habsburg family.

If the Colonna family has lost their right to speak in the College of Cardinals, this major blow, the dog jumps over the wall and decides to completely fall to the warlock royal family, then the Orsini family must consider whether to advance and retreat together. If they choose to fight together Although the Colonna family can definitely prevent the infiltration of the Habsburg imperial power, this will inevitably further greatly strengthen the authority of the true pope.Strengthen the power of the Church of Rome.

At that time, the Orsini family was alone. Although the Church of Rome was powerful, if it was the authority of the enemy that was fulfilled, the strength would instead become a reminder for itself.
