Warlock Royal Family

Chapter 377 Life in the Palace

() In the next period of time, the conflict between Austria and Spain did not continue to expand. After all, both sides took this alliance as the cornerstone of their foreign policy, but uneasy emotions still wandered around and continued to ferment.

Diplomats and big businessmen are the most sensitive to bureaucracy.

The frequent diplomatic contacts between Austria and Spain suddenly became deserted, and the envoys who usually flowed through the Mediterranean Sea disappeared all of a sudden.

Spanish businessmen were also worried. Although products from the New World could temporarily receive most-favored-nation treatment when taxed in Austria, who knew whether Ladislaus would suddenly impose heavy taxes on their business one day.

What's more serious is that the supply provided by Austria to the Italian Corps through the Milan area is an important supplement to the Marquess of Pescara. With the decline of this supply source, the situation of the Spaniards in northern Italy has become even worse.

The Duke of Guise received the full support of Paris, and he quickly reorganized the French army to go south to relieve the siege. The Marquis of Pescara was unwilling to fight in front of the enemy's strong fortress according to the lessons of the Battle of Pavia.

He led his troops south and returned to Naples before the arrival of the reorganized French army.

The siege of Liguria ended anticlimactically.

The speed of the reorganization of the French obviously greatly exceeded the expectations of Ferdinand and Madrid courtiers, and they may have regretted hastily reminding Austria of succession.

Things turned so badly that Spain failed to extend its victory at the Battle of Pavia.

The victory of the Pavia War gave Austria the freedom to capture Venice, but Spain was forced to retreat without even entering the Principality of Savoy.

Of course, Ladislaus did not want his family's business to fail, but in any case this comparison greatly weakened Ferdinand's influence in Central Europe.

However, Madrid has not replaced the ambassador so far, using him as a scapegoat to solve the problem. After all, they still control King Francois.

And Andre Doria is also famous for his exploits.Considered an equally extraordinary commander on land and sea.

This not only brought him the possibility of taking back Corsica, but also gave his daughter the confidence to oppose the "luxury and depraved atmosphere in the court".

In the summer of 1525 the reconstruction of the eastern wing of the Vienna Imperial Palace, which had been burned down by a skirmish between Catherine and Anna, finally began.

Although Ladislaus was very opposed to the construction of the palace, this time it was Anna who put forward the reason that he could not refuse. She claimed that her birth date was approaching.

This is the top priority in Austrian politics today.

For this reason.Machiavelli, who had planned to object, also decided to keep silent, although he was quite dissatisfied with the announcement that Anna had chosen Madrid to mention the succession issue.

But he didn't dare to speak up on this kind of issue, so he could only try his best to raise funds and manpower to meet Anna's request.

As a disciple of Kossuth, Sarzastan undertook the design work of the project. Although he had no time to pursue other hobbies since he left Prague because he had to concentrate on improving his understanding of the magic net, he was a very famous young man in his early years. designer.

It turns out.After all these years, he still has quite good skills, and those who are capable can do anything.

The nobility and elegance of the building can be seen from the design drawings alone, and Ladislaus has to admit that he is overwhelmed by the charm of the building.

Of course not everyone can understand the charm of art.

Not only can't understand but also slander everywhere.

"The vulgar bright red everywhere is annoying, but the elegant whiteness here is really comforting. Her elegant taste is really incomparable with yours."

"The budget for a mere wing has reached 22 talers. This doesn't include the cost of interior decoration. It's really corrupt and extravagant!"

"If it were you, the noblest, most elegant and beautiful Spanish princess is of course worthy of any beautiful, elegant and noble building, but you live in such a simple palace with such ordinary furniture, what is she?! A The daughter of a small Ligurian merchant dares to act so presumptuously and offend the legitimate daughter of the warlock royal family. Your Royal Highness, if you say a word, as your most humble and loyal servant, I will immediately call her good-looking!"

Miss Harna impassionedly expressed her loyalty in front of Princess Katharina, although she said that the evil motive was so clear and despicable, but Princess Katharina couldn't explain herself and was still very angry.

But no matter how angry she is, she can't stand up now.

"I understand your loyalty, but the palace really needs to be rebuilt. The palace has always been in dilapidated condition. It's a disgrace. The Western jackal is the favorite of His Majesty the Lord of Fire, and of course he is worthy of any palace."

"Your magnanimity really impresses me, a country girl, and the Archbishop of Habsburg is really honored to have you in his company."

"Don't talk about those things. Have you seen that plant called Tomato? The Cardinal insists that it is used for food. Please take some when you go."

The balcony where the two ladies were sitting faced the flower garden of the front court, and the exotic flowers sent by the New World were in full bloom.There are also a variety of beautiful ornamental plants that are intoxicating.

According to Ladislaus, the bright red, juicy plant called "tomato" is edible, but who would do that?

Except for girls from the Italian countryside.

"How can a damn stupid woman learn to be smart." Halna gnawed on the tomatoes while cursing the woman who gave her tomatoes.

"Is this really eaten like this? Is it a fruit?" Ben Suo picked up a bright fruit on the table and took a bite. He didn't like the sour taste very much.

"Ladislaus said it would be good for stew or stew." Halna said absent-mindedly. Compared with whether this thing is a fruit or a vegetable, she has much more important issues to care about, "Are you sure Anna- Shibo really has a child in his belly?"

"It can't be wrong." Benso has visited Anna several times as the ambassador of the Republic of Liguria. "It can't be wrong when the delivery date is approaching. Recently, I can hear the heartbeat of this child if it is closer."

"Even the princess of Spain can only avoid it. I don't think I should expect my son to have a great future in Austria." Harna has been in charge of the winery for several years and has accumulated a lot of family business. Some thoughts are also normal.

Ben Suo didn't respond to his sister's words. In his opinion, worrying about the future of a son who doesn't know if he has a son is pure nonsense, but now his sister has important financial resources, which is very important to him, not to mention the diplomatic relationship with Austria For the value of the Doria family.

"What is your father's plan? This time such a good opportunity to support France, do you really want to be a loyal minister of the King of France?"

Seeing that there was no spark in the Vienna court, Harna still decided to base herself on her natal family. As long as the Doria family remained prosperous, she would not be in danger jumping up and down in Vienna. (To be continued.
