Chapter 107 The Undercurrent of the Hungarian Royal Family
"Who are these people?" asked Mary to the man in charge of the riding stables.

"Your Majesty, this is Count Ceausescu from Wallachia."

Mary stepped forward, stretched out her right hand, and Peter gently held and kissed her.

"Have seen the king of Hungary, may God be with you."

Peter saluted Mary, who nodded back.

"Welcome to Hungary."

Mary said something lightly, and then left with her entourage.Leave Peter and the others, Nicholas quips when he sees that Peter has been staring at Mary.

"My lord, I have other thoughts."

Peter heard his words and countered.

"Do you want to let you have no other thoughts?"

"No, no, no..." Nicholas knew his master's methods. If he tried to punish someone, it would be his fate to get that person back with his whole body.

Seeing Mary, Peter had an idea, why not let the queen come to form an alliance between Hungary and Wallachia.She is the king and the daughter of the former Emperor Lajos the Great. Such an identity is very convincing.

But she has been away from politics for too long, and the country is already dominated by Sigismund.So it is more difficult than ascending to heaven for her to gain power.

Moreover, the way she looked at her just now was more curious.Unless you can make friends with Mary, you will not succeed.

"Take your time, it's okay to win the king's friendship."

Peter also left the horse training ground afterwards. He is not a love brain. His love and his marriage have to be tinged with politics. There is no pure love at all, at least for him.

Iancu received a warm welcome from Sigismund in the palace, and they said many useful and useless words afterwards.For the most important alliance, Sigismund first praised Wallachia's achievements, and then said that there was no alliance at all.

It's been like this for a day, and there is no progress.Janku decided to lobby the Hungarian nobles, they prepared a large amount of lei, so it stands to reason that there is no need to worry.

In the evening they also attended a banquet hosted by Sigismund for them, and Peter did not appear until after Sigismund had left.Anyway, except for Sigismund, no one else has seen Peter.

Then Peter began to know some Hungarian nobles, big and small, who either had a lot of trade in the town or owned a large field.Both are among the best forces in Hungary.

Iancu tried hard to persuade the nobles to ally with Wallachia, but they would either do it next time or think about it again.After all, there is no consent.

Peter looked at their faces, although he was disgusted, he still had to endure it.Even if Bosnia and two-thirds of Serbia are used as chips, it will not work.They are not interested in all or nothing territory, they must be shown the actual benefits.

"Your Highness, only some people are willing to form an alliance with Wallachia, but their strength and voice are too small. Compared with those people, they are not worth mentioning."

Jancu found Peter and reported today's situation.

"So, they are not ready to form an alliance?"

"It's hard to be sure, but even after experiencing failure, their strength has not been damaged. It should be that they want us to carry it alone."

The more Peter listened, the more annoyed he became. The several crusades formed against Ottoman all failed due to internal discord.

"It seems that we have to think of another way. By the way, who accepted the gift?"

"It's mainly aristocrats with little property and going bankrupt, and they are all born in Croatia and Transylvania."

Hearing about Croatia, Peter felt that he could start from this aspect.Although Hungary is quite big, there are many other ethnic groups in the country, the two largest of which are Croats and Wallachians.

At the end of the 11th century, the Hungarians invaded northern Croatia, and Venice also took the opportunity to occupy some coastal cities. Croatia's territorial integrity was seriously violated, and Dalmatia was also facing the danger of being occupied by Venice and Rome.In line with the desire to maintain territorial integrity, Croatia merged with Hungary in a personal dynasty in 1102 and elected the king of Hungary as the king of Croatia.However, Croatia still maintains its own institutions, with its own parliament, army and currency.Internal affairs are administered by the Governor.The Governor-General was composed of members of the Hungarian royal family and Croatian nobles, and foreign relations were controlled by the common king.

But the Croatian nobles can only play a role in Croatia, and their influence in Buda is minimal.If it is conditional on being brought into the Buda Parliament...

No, Peter couldn't think any more.His mind has been messed up these days, and he needs to calm down.

On the other hand, Mary was also thinking about the few Wallachians she met today.Especially that Earl Ceausescu, with a different temperament on his young face.

Mary is 23 years old this year. Although she is not a person with heavy desires, she and her husband sleep in separate rooms for a long time, so she is a little lonely.

The first time she felt sorry for her husband was because she had an affair with a Hungarian nobleman.It was nothing at first, but later Sigismund also came to her room, and she thought it was going to be like this.It turned out that she was pregnant. According to the date, when Sigismund went to war, the child belonged to that person.

Only Mary knew who the children belonged to, but Sigismund was certainly not happy.But he was unhappy but looked very happy, it seemed that he regarded the child as his own.This reassured Mary that he didn't seem to notice.

Good idea, but alas Sigismund already knew about it.He felt that he should be herding cattle, not king.

The marriage with Mary has achieved its purpose, and then a special scene is needed to make his wife disappear.In this way, he can marry the woman inside Shinra, which can pave the way for the next plan.

After several days of lobbying without success, the delegation had to go home.And Peter, Nicholas and Mason and several guards stayed in Buda.

"Your Highness, I have done my best, take care."

"Don't worry, Director, you will come back safely."

These guards and attendants were carefully selected, and the Grand Duke was very concerned about his son's security work.So I personally went to the field to choose, and there would be absolutely no accidents.

As for the cost, don't worry, the cost on the road has been replaced by Venice Ducat.With such a currency, you are not afraid to travel all over Europe.

Moreover, there are chambers of commerce in places like Hungary and Bohemia, where they can rest and inquire about news. This also has to admire Peter's foresight and the development of the chamber of commerce.

The Wallachian delegation returned from Buda, while Peter remained here.And inquire about the situation of the Hungarian royal family.

According to the news obtained by buying one or two maids, King Mary's child is not Sigismund's, there is no doubt about it.

Peter believed that Sigismund was going to do something, but he didn't believe that this person would be indifferent.

　Some readers were very dissatisfied with yesterday's and today's chapters, which I would have pared down if not for the suspicious death of this Queen Mary, which I would not have thought.

　　Regarding the update, I am doing an internship during this time, so I will try to update it as much as possible.
