Warlock Royal Family

The water droplets separated from the clouds and ran into the earth with their companions.

If the master of the earth is well prepared, they may be friends, but if the master of the earth is not prepared, then they will inevitably bring disaster.

So the continuous downpour worries farmers in Austria and despairs in Hungary.

But this was not the only disaster, the Kingdom of Hungary had other troubles.

It's just that most of the pleasure-loving nobles didn't even realize the danger of floods, let alone this more hidden danger. [

"Dear Ladislaus, thank you very much for your reminder, I have received your letter, I hope you can hear from me as soon as possible"

On a rainy night, in the palace of Buda, a lady is dictating a letter. Her lipstick is crystal clear, her lips are just the right thickness, and the teeth behind her lips are as clean as shellfish.

She looks very similar to Princess Katharina, but she has more mature and stable charm, without losing the exciting vitality.

Her voice, too, was as beautiful and graceful as her person's, blending her own gratitude into diplomatic words, expressing a modest but limited acknowledgment.

After about 10 minutes of dictation, she brought the clerk's letter to her eyes and read it.

With elegant wording and no trace of spoken language, the lady quickly signed her name "Mary-Habsburg-Agroni" with a quill.

This lady is the fifth princess of the Habsburg family, Queen of Hungary and wife of the Elector of Bohemia.

She signed the letter but did not put it down.

Although the letter seemed innocent, she always felt that something was wrong.

She picked up the letter and read it for a few minutes, until the clerk who had followed her for many years began to feel a little nervous, and the lady clapped her white and clean hands.

There was a flash of fire in her hand.The letter was reduced to ashes.

Although the status is noble, it is still an unnecessary waste on a plane where spellcasting materials are very expensive.

But it wasn't a waste for her.

This member of the Habsburg has a very special talent among the warlock royal family. Her "burning hand" can cast spells without material, although it is actually useless in her capacity.

"Your Majesty." The clerk was very nervous. He was very confident in his professional skills, so he was also very nervous when he was questioned.

"No no. It's not your fault, please write this letter in German." The letter just now was written in Hungarian.

German was the common language among the members of the Habsburg family, and in fact the members of the Madrid branch of the Habsburg family did not speak Spanish as their mother tongue until a generation later.

But Ladislaus' letter was in Hungarian, and Queen Mary spoke Hungarian, so the letter was also in Hungarian.

The clerk didn't ask any questions, and quickly rewrote the letter in the language his master requested. [

When Queen Mary looked again, she was satisfied to find that the wording was not any different from the one she had just used.At least she couldn't find the problem.

"Well, my dear Rolls-Royce, not Ladis-Royce." After signing and stamping her coat of arms again, she satisfactorily recalled her last modification.

Queen Mary remembered at the last moment the signature in Hungarian on the letter she had just received from Ladislaus.

"Ladislaus", this name has only been given to a king in Hungary.

The language and signatures used by Ladislaus had unpleasant associations in her.

Ladislaus' grandfather was the King of Hungary.His usual Hungarian signature actually does suggest and insist.

Although Ladislaus attached 20 talers with the letter, it was impossible for Princess Mary to tolerate his hints, even if he ignored them.

The Habsburg family has grown to where it is today through the orthodox inheritance principle, so she is sure that the emperor of Madrid, her own brother, will not tolerate any family member challenging this principle, even if Ladislaus has any ambitions. implement.

But she is still very vigilant, because the Kingdom of Hungary is her motherland.

Mary waved her hand to signal the clerk to leave.In addition to the several maids she brought from Spain, there was a Hungarian maid in the room, who was the messenger of Ladislaus.

The queen did not immediately give the reply to the maid serving Austria, but waited for a while.

It was not until her Spanish head maid came into the room and whispered something to her that the queen gave the reply to the Hungarian maid.

Because her husband was running for the throne of the Holy Roman Empire, her status was greatly weakened now, and it was inconvenient to talk to the ambassadors of Austria or Spain.

"Thank you for your help. The Habsburg family will never forget your service." Queen Mary's mood was very complicated.

She doesn't know how to choose between the motherland she identifies with and the family she was asked to be loyal to since she was a child.

Love your nation and be loyal to your country.Although it may not be easy for most people, at least it is not difficult to distinguish right from wrong.

For her, the concept of good and evil, right and wrong is really complicated, and it is a difficult choice.

Especially when Ladislaus was planning for the interests of the Habsburg family rather than his own, Queen Mary's choice was particularly difficult.

So even though she was very wary of Ladislaus' ambitions, she had to cooperate with this relative of her natal family.The life choices she has to face are not simple.

Putting on her night-clothes and drinking a bottle of costly potion, the Hungarian maid left from the house, and soon she became unrecognizable.

Queen Mary and her cronies watched the situation nervously.

Fortunately, the female spy had expensive medicine and agile skills, neither the guards nor the other Hungarian maids in the palace noticed her. [

"I didn't expect this despicable woman to be a good wanderer. No wonder she sold herself to my Austrian relatives." Seeing the messenger disappear from sight, Queen Mary's eyes could no longer see gratitude, only contempt remained.

Although she sometimes doesn't even know what her true heart is, she still thinks she has the right to despise the Hungarian women who betrayed their motherland for money.

Of course, she is in a dilemma, and it is indeed different from betraying the country for money.

Think about money.She asked again: "The people from the Fugger Chamber of Commerce don't know that they are trading with me."

"Yes, but it is impossible to keep our power expansion secret."

"It's good to delay for a while. Those old Hungarians will know that I have the support of Vienna one day later, so we can prepare a little bit more."

"The branch president here checked the secret key with me personally. The Cardinal of Habsburg did indeed give you a credit line of 20 talers." The head maid's whisper just said that everything went well.No details were given.

Queen Mary's heart was deeply impressed by Ladislaus' contribution of real gold and silver. 20 talers is a very convincing figure. Even such assistance among the Habsburg families can be called It's big money.

Ladislaus hoped to use money to create a little pure emotion in Queen Mary's heart.

Money is such a wonderful thing, it is the enemy of feelings, but it is also the thing that can best confirm feelings.

True and reliable feelings are often proved by the most affectionate things.Of course, the amount must be large.

While speaking, the head maid brought out a dozen papers wrapped in silk.

Queen Mary took the checkbook handed over by the head maid, twenty ten-thousand-thaler general exchange notes.

Each sheet bears the signatures of Patriarch Fugger and Ladislaus, and a piece of flimsy paper is equal to [-] well-minted half-big silver coins.

As long as the materials are purchased through the Fugger Textile Association, the loss of exchange can be avoided.

Although they are all believable people.Queen Mary checked the signatures and watermarks on these exchange vouchers one by one before she was relieved. After all, this matter is of great importance.

She shuddered at what Ladislaus' letter told her to strengthen her resilience.

"Susanna, this kind of thing has never appeared in the education I received since I was a child. Even His Majesty the Emperor of Madrid is not so generous. Please tell me, can this explain the true thoughts of my cousin in Vienna?" Queen Mary asked the head maid who had been following her.

This is not going to disappoint her chief of staff.

"There is no reason to doubt, Your Majesty. Without any guarantee or promise, your cousin paid you 20 thalers in cash, which greatly exceeded the response you gave him due to the insignificant kindness. It can only show that he really values ​​the family affection among the warlock royal family."

"But it also shows that he really thinks the situation is bad, doesn't he?"

"This is beyond what the concubine can know." The head maid carefully refrained from expressing opinions in areas she knew.

Mary turned around and looked at the rainy night outside the palace, and the Kingdom of Hungary fell on the commanding heights in Buda.

On a clear day, she could see the Danube outside Buda and the vast Pannonian grasslands on both sides of the river when she landed.

"Is His Majesty the King with that Slovak woman?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

How many times on a sunny day she and Louis II had galloped together.How many happy years have been spent together.

She loves horse riding. Although her grandmother fell to her death, Princess Mary, who inherited the name of Mary of Burgundy, loves horse riding just like her grandmother.

Just as she loves her husband.

The Hungarian royal couple is different from those royal couples who married blindly and dumbly. Their adolescence was the most intimate era of the Habsburg-Agronian alliance.

Handsome Philippe and Juana have been in Brussels.Brother and sister Ferdinand and Marie, who were engaged to the Hungarian royal family, have been cared for by their grandfather.

The old emperor Maximilian took good care of his grandson and granddaughter, and even let the engaged teenagers and girls travel between Vienna and Buda every year, let them learn and grow up together, so that they can cultivate the purest love.

All his life, the old emperor, who had been intriguing and carefully planning everything, only hoped to give his children a little more happiness in his later years. He had never obtained a little bit of happiness, and he never gave his children happiness.

Although he couldn't let his grandson fall in love freely, he did his best to give them a true love.

So Louis and Mary can be said to be childhood sweethearts, lovers of two little guesses.

Ferdinand and Mary had an unimaginably sweet childhood like other princes and princesses.

Her relationship with Louis was very sincere.

The head maid said again: "There is nothing to worry about. His Majesty the King will eventually find his true feelings. The relationship and bond between you and him can stand the test."

Mary also nodded. She was familiar with history since she was a child, and she was convinced that the experience of herself and her husband had indeed given them true affection that is rare in political marriages.

"The rain will stop eventually, and when the sun comes out again, we will ride horses together." (To be continued...)
