Conquer the Dawn of Heaven

Vol 7 Chapter 24: Mad Juana

Normezi led Alonso Bellugut holding a huge box and walked slowly in the corridor. The waiter next to him was obviously a little nervous, so every step seemed to be measured with a ruler. The standard is quite rigid.

When entering the palace, the guards inspected the box as usual, and saw a lot of wooden dolls with rough carvings, but quite childish. The guards smiled at the boy holding the box, although I do n’t know. What they do with these things, but there is no danger in thinking about it.

The Castilian court followed a rather strict tradition, or after a whole century, an author named Cervantes wrote a book called "Donguidi", and the Iberian peninsula It has a lot to do with the different styles of continental Europe.

Iberia is conservative and nostalgic. This conservatism is not only a general obsession with faith. In the secular world, the Iberians also have a style that is very different from that of other parts of Europe in the same era.

Here, whether it is a court or a folk, people are still stubbornly attached to the pursuit of pure faith and respect for ancient customs.

The knightly contest is the most admirable way for nobles to show courage. This kind of spirit of the ranger that has gradually disappeared in other places, and the loyalty to the noble lady with a strong medieval atmosphere, and the praise of saving the holy place and slaughtering the dragon. Culture still prevails in Iberia, whether it is a royal palace or aristocracy, or whether it is a civilian or a beggar. It seems that the entire Iberia has always been addicted to this romantic atmosphere.

Queen Isabella is not a greedy man. In the previous decades of her career, she was a king who could strictly restrain her desires and perform the duties of monarch cautiously and dedicatedly.

In this respect, even her enemies cannot but admit that the queen has the qualities most needed as a king.

Perseverance, courage, perseverance, and extraordinary judgment, once the goal is determined, she will never mind what difficulties she will encounter in the process of achieving it. This makes her face the repression of the half-brother in the first place, or In the face of setbacks later in recovering the lost ground, they were able to unswervingly follow through until they finally achieved their goals.

Such a tough queen is also a strong supporter of the knighthood. In Isabella's view, it is precisely because all the good qualities of the ancient great knights created them to achieve great causes, just like Saint Xi The German and earlier Roland Knights, because of their piety and bravery, finally moved God and led them to complete the miracle that the poets have been circulating for so long, and they still fascinate countless people.

Because of this, Isabella is more keen on organizing knightly contests than enjoying feasts and displaying gorgeous costumes. Due to the Queen ’s preference, the entire Castilla is a combative and knightly style.

Normezi walked forward with Alonso Belugat, and along the way he had met more than one knight who was clanking in his entire body.

These knights are either golden or shiny, many people not only completely wrap their bodies in armor, but also try their best to let the craftsmen inlay their armor with various designs Patterns, so that whether they are riding on horses or walking on the road, accompanied by the sound of dingling, it is a large display of expensive art treasures that look like an event garden.

Compared with these knights, Normezi was not so conspicuous. He wore a soft hat that leaned to the side with a large jewel pendant. A large coat with silver edges covered most of his body. Dragging under his knees, a new mask embroidered with gold threads blocked half of his face, making him look a little strange.

In front of the queen's team appeared, Normezi flashed aside, and at the same time signaled Alonso to bend over to salute.

Isabella wore her favorite white long dress, although she has gradually entered old age, but she still retains the charm of the year except for wrinkles, and because of the majesty formed by being in the queen ’s throne for many years, it made her more Has a fascinating unique temperament.

Alonso looked nervously at his toes. Although he entered the palace as a boy of Normezi, he had been waiting in the outer courtyard of the kingdom before. He had never thought that one day he could enter such a deep place, and he actually watched It's the queen herself.

So he was trembling slightly because of his tension, especially when he saw a skirt angle appearing in front of him, and actually stopped in front of them, the poor boy was already nervous and sweating his forehead in such cold weather. .

"Earl, it seems that you also like to watch contests?" Isabella asked Normezi. "As far as I know, Sicily seems to have rarely organized large-scale contests."

"Your Majesty, this is our loss," Normezi responded a bit pitifully. "You can imagine what the Naples nobles like today. If the art is still worthy of respect, some things are not so good." . "

Isabella listened to Normezi. She naturally knew what Normezi was referring to. In fact, when Pope Alexander VI was the Archbishop of Valencia, she had already heard that the bishop was shocking. This is the reason why Isabella has always had no affection for Alexander VI. Even if she now asks for the pope, she does not want to have too much involvement with Alexander VI from the bottom of her heart.

This reminded her of the matter of the Duke of Rome, the Vatican, mentioned in the letter that his daughter Maria wrote to him the other day.

"Count, if you think of your fellow Naples in this way, then it is no wonder that the Duke of Roma Tesia did not like you."

"I don't like him either," Normezi replied, and then seemed to salute Isabella again because of rudeness. "Your Majesty, please forgive me for commenting on a duke, but this duke is a hero of the battle of Naples. , But if you know his romantic affair, you will probably have another opinion about him. "

"Oh, this sounds a bit interesting. If I have time, I would like to know." Isabella seemed to inadvertently say that when she learned that the Duke of Matthias was a pope to review the sacred sites, Iraqi Sabella had already noticed the man, and now hearing Normezi's words, it made her feel that perhaps from the Naples aristocrat who was said to be unfavorable in front of the brothers and sisters, she could learn more about the duke.

"So, we saw you in the competition field, Earl."

"Wish you happy, Your Majesty."

Alonso ’s eyes were fixed on the ground, swinging a pair of skirt angles, until after confirming that the queen and her maids had finally left, the maid immediately excitedly looked up at the back of the queen, and then he eagerly turned back to Noel Metsi said: "God, Lord, I saw the Queen, it really is the Queen!"

"Yes, it's the queen," Normezzi finished raising his hand and slapped Alonso for a slap. "We're going to stay here for a long time, and then you will meet many people, if you are always so surprised No, "Normezzi crouched down and looked at Alonso." After listening to Alonso, I will send you to Rome when everything here is over. You are a gifted person. Do n’t waste God ’s Do you understand these gifts? "

Alonso nodded excitedly, and when he thought of going to Rome where the masters could gather, he seemed to feel a lot easier when he was carrying a sour arm in the box.

Queen Isabella valued Juana ’s arrival very much, so she prepared a comfortable and spacious house for her husband and wife as early as half a year ago, but when she saw that Juana ’s belly was about to give birth, the queen simply let her daughter directly Lived in the palace, and since then no longer intend to let them move out to live.

This has caused many people to have all kinds of speculations, and then it is associated with the unfortunate death of Ann a few years ago, and after the Queen ’s current age seems to have no chance to have a son, people have vaguely guessed the Queen Isabella ’s husband intention.

It's just that the double king's daughter is more than Juana after all. In addition to Juana, Maria, now Queen of Portugal, and Catherine, the youngest daughter who has been engaged to the British Crown Prince Arthur, also seem to have their own opportunities.

Huanna and his wife lived a little far away. Because of the terrain, the palace of Valladolid showed a pattern of low southeast and high northwest. Huanna and his wife lived on a small artificial lake in the southeast corner of the palace In the palace.

Normezi was stopped by the attendants outside the palace. After notifying him, Normezi took the box from Alonso and walked in alone.

When Normez saw Juana, the prospective crown prince was holding a little girl, standing in front of a small bed, staring down at a smaller baby on the bed.

Perhaps because the mother had not looked at herself, the little girl made a dissatisfied voice, but this did not seem to attract Juana ’s attention, and she still focused on her son on the bed.

Until the next maid reminded her of Normezi's arrival.

Juana immediately straightened up and looked at Normezi. After seeing the box in his hand, she handed her daughter to the maid next to her. Then she walked with interest and looked at the box: "Count, you brought me a gift." ?"

"I'm sorry, Your Highness, this is not for you, but next time I will remember to give you a gift," Normezi said to the girl who had been struggling with her maid in her arms. "In fact, this is my maid." Some of the little toys made for Her Royal Highness, he is a very clever child, and just because he is a child, he may better understand what Her Royal Highness needs. "

Somewhat curious, Juana took it from Normezi and opened the box. When she saw a wooden doll made of humans and animals in a grid carved into the castle wall, Juana could n’t help but exclaim with joy: “This is What a fun thing. "

Said she took the box to her daughter: "So Eleanor, do you like these toys?"

The girl who was angry just now because her mother ignored her was immediately attracted by the wooden dolls with various patterns in it. She cried out in joy. She struggled to get out of the maid ’s arms and saw the maid beside him Passing the box, she immediately uttered a cry of protest, which seemed to affect the baby lying on the bed, so the future Holy Roman Emperor and King Charles V of Spain screamed and cried!

The cry obviously affected her sister, so the girl also joined in, and for a while the cry in the palace was so loud that it was lively.

The maid and the servants helped the hostess to coax the two children, but their efforts seemed to have no effect at all, although in the end Princess Eleanor stopped immediately after getting the toy, what about the baby lying on the bed Will not stop.

"His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness may be hungry," a waitress reminded.

"Oh, of course," Juana seemed to understand it all at once. She turned around and yelled "Mrs. Alanis, it's time to feed the prince."

Juana ’s cry did not get a response. She looked a little strangely at the nanny looking for the child. When she found that the person she was looking for was not around, Juana asked the people around her: “Where is Mrs. Alanis, Do n’t she know that she ca n’t just leave the prince? ”

"Your Highness, you said you wanted to take care of your two Highnesses, so Mrs. Alanis retired first. She said she was going to wash her body a little."

"But now the prince is hungry!"

Juana's face sank in an instant, and her son's cry seemed to make her emotions agitated. She shouted the name of Mrs. Alanis blankly again, and strode out immediately after getting no response. go with.

"His Royal Highness, we will help you find her." A maid said in a panic.

"No, I want to find her myself." Juana said stubbornly. She went to the outside atrium and stood down, then walked towards the nanny's room.

Normezi had to follow people. He saw you Juana quickly came to the door of a room and saw the door closed, she simply pushed the door impatiently.

Then, mad screams of women and roars of men were heard in the room!

Immediately thereafter, Juana's figure appeared at the door, but at this time, Juana looked terrible.

Her breathing was fast, her eyes were wide open, and her face was pale and scary. She was holding a pair of scissors in one hand, and the other hand was holding a panicked woman with disheveled hair.

"Let her go, Juana!"

A shout came from the room, and Philip came out. Only one button of his jacket was loose and loose, and he was also wiping the obvious trace hanging from the corner of his mouth.

"I won't let it go!" Juana yelled madly, her pair of scissors that she didn't know where to pull from above and below the woman's head, and suddenly she slashed a large amount of hair as she twisted hard.

The woman was completely terrified. She only knew that her hands were dreaded and her hands were in front of her eyes, afraid of Juana. When her hair was cut off, she screamed in horror while begging for mercy and shouting in despair. "God! Save me!"

Two maids tried to pull away Juana, but she was forced to open with her scissors. Under the horribly gazing of Philip and the people around her, she pulled the woman to the middle of the courtyard, and then screamed at the people around him. Shout!

"You prostitute!" At this time, Juana had shown a terrible grimace completely because of her jealous twisted face. Her original pale face was scary at this time. Her hysterical roar was too vague and ambiguous. The terrible madness in her eyes even asked her to point the sharp tip of the scissors to the woman ’s throat. "You dare to seduce my husband, my child ’s father, I want to kill you, scratch your face, cast you Go to hell! "

"Forgive me, Your Highness! It's not me who seduce him, it's Philip ..."

"You bullshit!" Juana yelled into the woman's ear. "He is my husband, he only loves me, how could he look at you!"

The shouting caused the green bars on Juana ’s neck to swell, and her hands were not idle. As the scissors kept flashing and the woman screamed because of the pain of her scalp, her hair was cut off Or just pull it off, and after a while, the woman's hair has been cut in a mess, and there are places on her head that show her scalp.

Philip didn't know whether it was angry or something, and he shivered uncontrollably. When he saw Normezi standing in the crowd, the look on his face was even more ugly.

Juana ’s madness had scared the woman completely to the ground, and she buried her face in her hands in panic, close to the ground, and let Juana continue to tear her clothes while shouting.

The shouts attracted more and more people. Philip ’s face was already black. He clenched his fists several times and seemed to want to rush over, but he let go of it helplessly, just when he saw more people smelling When he didn't know what to do for a while, Normezi approached him.

"His Royal Highness, please forgive me for being unreasonable ~ www.ltnovel.com ~ But at this time you'd better leave for the time being," Normezi gently put his gloved hand on Philip's arm and whispered to him, seeing Philip With a sharp gaze, Normezi shrugged his head slightly to him, "Leave this first, Your Highness."

Philip seemed to say something, but Juana overshadowed him. Seeing Juana's terrible face, Philip finally turned around and left.

"Don't go dear, tell me you love me! Just look at my eyes like you do every day and tell me you love me ~"

Juana ’s frantic screams of near despair and complete irrationality came from behind, and Normezi saw Philip ’s cheeks trembling, but his feet never stopped.

Normezi accompanied Philip all the way out of the palace, watching Philip who had never said a word, and finally jumped on the mount to run away. Normezi did not follow up, but looked at his back, exposed under the mask The corner of the mouth twitched.

"Next, it's your turn, Mrs. Olgala."

Normezi murmured to himself.
