Chapter 537 Meeting
With Poland bowing its head, the two-year anti-Romanian alliance war ended. Rome successively dispatched 120,000 troops and spent millions of lei to seize Tuscany, Northern Ukraine, Andalusia, Palestine and other places, and liberated Switzerland. As for the population, statistics still need to be compiled.

But these things are enough to compare Peter with famous emperors in history, such as Justinian and Basil. And those Orthodox Christians have already praised the emperor's merits. They not only built a church in Jerusalem, but also renamed the city of Sarai on the Volga River to Petersburg. You should know that there are currently only three cities named after the emperor, Constantinople, Mirceaburg and Petersburg.

These losses will directly bring Lithuania back to its original shape. The only good thing is that the Lithuanians are in the majority again, and Wladyslaw's control here has been strengthened.

Wladyslaw soon left Minsk, unable to stay any longer. He just wanted to escape from here quickly, and at the same time he hated the nobles deeply. If they hadn't pressed hard, how could he have paid such a high price.

As for the Teutonic side, he doesn't care about it. The war is over anyway, so why should he be rescued?

At this time, Teutonic was also numb, and he had fallen into the vast ocean of the Prussian Alliance and Brandenburg. He did not have enough financial resources and troops to end the war in a short time, and he wanted to negotiate but was reluctant to part with Western Pomerania. The stalemate continues like this.

The Berlin League began its offensive and began the siege of Marienburg and other castles. Livonia, which originally wanted to aid Teutonia, had to give up because of its war with Moscow.

The Teutonic Knights lost most of their troops in the previous war with Poland and Lithuania, but still organized an army composed of knights and armed peasants, but most of the troops were still mercenaries, mainly from the HRE.

Looking at this army, the Teutons easily defeated the Peasant Army of the Prussian Alliance. But facing the castle and the Berlin Alliance army required a lot of strength.

They thought of mediation and prepared to seek help from the Pope. But no matter which pope he is, he is currently in a meeting in Constance, and there is no time. We will discuss it after the new pope is elected.

"That's great, maybe this can happen." Jean looked at his daughter, feeling increasingly happy.

The previous fear has disappeared. As long as his daughter marries the heir of the Roman Empire, then he will have a powerful in-laws, and then he can use the identity of his in-laws to jump around France, maybe he can replace Burgundy. The position of Duke.

Mary looked at Constantinople with an incredulous expression. This place was countless times bigger than the Paris she had been to, and on the streets of Paris, chickens, ducks, geese, and pigs walked freely, and the various smells mixed together, which hit her nose hard.

In the port of Constantinople, a passenger ship docked at the pier. The Duke of Bourbon and his family came to the city, together with several members of their entourage.

If you think too much, come back.

I have to admit that the Duke of Bourbon is very fast. Although we were delayed on the road for a while due to weather conditions, we still arrived at Constantinople.

"Such a big city, it's almost bigger than Paris."

Now that the Teutons are in disaster, they are still like this, simply not taking them, the most loyal people to God, into consideration. When they have the opportunity, they must go to the Pope and ask why they did not come to the rescue. Why?
----------

But in Constantinople, the dirt roads were replaced by paved brick roads, there were no livestock on the streets, and the people around them were clean. There is also a floral fragrance in the air, which is simply the best enjoyment.

Isn’t it a joke that the Knights angrily cursed the Pope for his naughty behavior, one church and three Popes? The Orthodox Church next door has a clear division of labor, so why can’t the Catholic Church do the same?

Jean stopped imagining and quickly took his family to the palace. With the special envoy and the invitation in hand, their family successfully entered the palace gate.

"Mom, why are those people black?"

Elizabeth pointed to the black eunuchs, and Mary quickly covered her daughter's mouth, and then spoke to her seriously. "Remember, dear, don't talk nonsense here. This is not Mulan, but your future husband's home. You have to be careful what you say."

At this time, Elizabeth was at the age where she was curious about everything, and he also listened to her mother's teachings. But this couldn't hide her curiosity at all, she always wanted to know the reason.

And in the garden, Alexander came to Sophia wearing his best clothes.

"Mother…"

"I know what you are going to say, but now you must listen to me. Your marriage must be decided as soon as possible. Mother thinks this daughter of the Duke of Bourbon is very good. You must meet her."

Unable to defeat the queen, Alexander could only wait for the arrival of his fiancée. I hope my mother's vision is correct.

"Your Royal Highness, the Duke of Bourbon is here with his family."

"Let them come."

Led by the chief eunuch, the Duke of Bourbon and his family came to the garden. The Duchess saw the lady sitting in the garden at a glance. She must be the Queen, and the child next to her was Elizabeth's future husband.

Alexander also saw this family. Well, the clothes were indeed good, but it was a pity that they were not as good as his own. The little girl looked like his future wife. This curious look made Alexander feel like his grown-up sister.

"Your Highness the Queen!"

Jean led his family to salute, while Elizabeth performed a crooked salute under her mother's instructions. This salute made Sophia happy.

"Is this the Duke's daughter? She's so cute."

"The Queen is laughing"

At the invitation of the Queen, the Duke and his family enjoyed a very good afternoon tea. There are coffee, tea, sugar, and various exquisite snacks. They are indeed the richest royal family. Only they have the money to enjoy all this at any time.

Alexander, on the other hand, took Elizabeth and Anna to play with him. With his sister here, the meeting would not feel awkward.

"Come today. I want to make it clear in my letter. I am very satisfied with your daughter. It is a suitable choice for her to marry Alexander."

The queen has said so, so they have no right to refuse. What's more, there is Stuart's lesson in front of them, and they will not refuse. Moreover, the benefits of this marriage have also come out, and I will definitely be able to gain a firm foothold in the political arena.

"The emperor is coming back, so you can stay here during this period." With that, Sofia asked the manager to arrange the room, and the Duke of Bourbon expressed his gratitude to the queen.
