Warlock Royal Family

When the Spanish ambassador once again urged the King of France to fulfill the terms of the Madrid agreement and hand over Burgundy and Bourbon honestly, Ladislaus certainly did not pursue the Ottoman army.

It is impossible for anyone to attack a still well-organized hostile army from his own base camp except under unexpected circumstances.

After leaving a reliable captain to guard Borch, the bridgehead on the south bank of the Drava River, Ladislaus led the main force of more than [-] Austrians to retreat northward along the Danube.

About five days after his ambassador in Paris received the news, Ladislaus entered Buda with a large army.

The city has somewhat recovered, and after the Ottoman army withdrew, some fleeing residents returned here.

While organizing the defense, Hohenzollern tried its best to regroup the scattered residents and resume production.

The process has not been smooth, however, as any resident would feel insecure seeing the former capital's magnificent walls completely gone.

Although the wall actually played no role in the war that just ended, the loss of it still made most Hungarians feel even more horrified.

"If the city wall has insufficient resources, there is no need to repair it for the time being." Ladislaus said as he dismounted when he saw the ugly face of Hohenzollern who came to greet him. [

In the past few days, he has made up the vacancy of the standing army, some Hungarian soldiers have been absorbed into the Austrian army, and basically every company has accepted supplementary soldiers from Hungary.

This supplementary method can prevent a regiment or even a larger combat unit from collective rebellion due to ethnic conflicts, but it also increases the difficulty of troop recovery.

In the past few days, Ladislaus is continuing to speak Latin in the Austrian army. Hungarian nobles who are of noble origin and can speak Latin can get preferential treatment if they are willing to serve.

They can start straight from junior officers.

This kind of replenishment is quite smooth, and these troops will be added to the standing army. In the long run, the troops that Austria can afford are still less than 2 troops, but it is impossible for Ladislaus to disband the mobilization army for the time being.

"How is the situation in Bohemia?" Machiavelli told Ladislaus in his latest letter that the chaos in the capital circle has been controlled by him. And once controlled the militia arsenal.

However, under the quick response of the remaining Austrian court guards, all vital points of Vienna have been recaptured.

This is not surprising.In addition to the palace guards, there are a large number of mages and priests in Vienna, and the riots in the Sune Church are a great threat to their vested interests.

These people are still very active in defending their own interests.

Moreover, more follow-up news showed that the strength of the Sune Church in Austria itself was insufficient, and the rebellion was launched only because they were optimistic about Suleiman's invasion. After the victory of Ladislaus, these mobs did not dare to fight against Austrian regular army.

They have already gone north to the area where the Church of Sune is relatively powerful, and Machiavelli believes that the German princes will not welcome the Austrian army to counter the rebellion.Moreover, Austria's finances did not allow Ladislaus to use further force.

Machiavelli was already suffering for Bohemia's military spending.

There are also new careerists in Bohemia. A general who claims to be a descendant of the ancient Bohemia royal family Przemysl raised troops in his own territory and has captured several small cities so far.

"It shouldn't be a big problem to have Cassano Cavaliers sitting in Prague." Justice Hohenzollern obviously didn't care about this issue.

He then walked into a room with Ladislaus in silence, making sure that there were only the most reliable guards around Ladislaus. [

He suddenly knelt down in front of Ladislaus and pleaded guilty: "The old minister can, please punish me severely, I have failed you."

"Oh?! Did the coronation ceremony take place as scheduled? That doesn't have to be the case." Ladislaus could think of only one thing that made Hohenzollern so nervous.This is indeed a big event, but after all, it is only of a ceremonial nature, so if there is a slight delay, it will be delayed.

Although it was incomplete, Ladislaus did achieve a very remarkable victory, so he planned to hold a coronation ceremony in Buda, and then sent troops to quell the rebellion in Austria and Bohemia.

Although the administrative capital is still in Vienna, choosing Buda as the venue for the coronation ceremony can always strengthen the centripetal force of the Hungarians.

"Haha. After all, I haven't regained the St. Stephen's crown that was snatched by the heretics. It's okay to be a little simpler." Ladislaus didn't want to deal with important officials for such a small matter in the context of the big victory. After all, his daughter Became a widow for her career.

However, Justice Hohenzollern obviously did not think that these things could be easily revealed. He still knelt on the ground and said: "Her Royal Highness Princess Katharina set off from Vienna seven days ago to come to Buda to hold your wedding ceremony and be crowned together. , She arrived in Bratislava five days ago but has not reached Buda until today. I sent a search team to the north two days ago. According to the news sent back by Jones and Silica last night, Her Royal Highness’s ship The team should have been attacked by Sune mobs on the Danube. They claimed that her marriage to you was against the creed of their evil god, and filled the world with bondage and pain."

Obviously, after arriving in Bratislava, it was Hohenzollern's responsibility, and his reaction was not obviously slow, but in this situation

Ladislaus did not fly into a rage immediately as the chief justice expected. Hohenzollern knelt on the ground for several minutes, but there was no response.

He was sweating nervously.But he didn't dare to look up at Ladislaus' reaction.

The guards of Ladislaus looked at this "great hero who destroyed the pagan attempt to dominate the world and defended Europa", his mouth opened and closed slightly, but he couldn't speak a word.

A coronation without the traditional crown is bad enough.Now even the queen is gone.

"If you want to see people in life, you need to see corpses in death. If you dig three feet into the ground, you need to find Her Royal Highness."

Although Ladislaus, who was furious at first, declared that he would not see the princess' body for a day, the search and rescue work would continue.

But after three days of futile searching, Ladislaus also had to admit that his cousin and fiancée was in danger. The prime time for search and rescue was actually two days, and there would be no miracles on the third day.

He planned to hold out for another two days before acquiescing to Hohenzollern to give up the search.

"Your Majesty the Emperor and Your Majesty the Queen, I would like to inform you both of the most unfortunate news"

Ladislaus has already started preparing a funeral letter to Madrid, which is not easy to write.

The most honorable queen refers to Queen Juana. This mentally unstable queen knows that her little daughter is dead, and it is not known whether her condition will deteriorate further.

Austria and Spain were not connected without gaps, and there must be bloodshed again.

Only at this time, a miracle really appeared.

Jevich's letter came, and he told Ladislaus that Katharina and several other people who fell into the water were salvaged by his fleet.

According to the surviving guards and maids, there should be a pair of maids and guard lovers whose backgrounds were too different, who were instigated by the Sune Church to destroy the ship.

Katharina's condition is not very good. After soaking in the icy river for more than ten hours, no one will get better.

But she is young after all, so it should be fine.

Although the large number of valuable ceremonial items that came with the ship were all hopeless, Ladislaus was very happy to learn that Katharina could share the honor with him.

Jevich said that when he wrote the letter, he had already turned south and sent Princess Katharina to Buda before going to Vienna.

Although the courier was speeding up, it was not much faster than the fleet going down the river. Ladislaus estimated that Katharina should have arrived in Buda the day after receiving the letter.

He left it to Hohenzollern to welcome and continue preparations for the coronation.

Ladislaus went to celebrate Catherine's escape with Queen Mary by himself. The two of them have only talked a few words from a distance these days because of their inner guilt.

Now that Katharina was brought back to life, they were impatient to seize the last night and have a good time.

Mary also knew that the next few days must not hinder Ladislaus and her sister.

"People are worried about my sister these days."

"Who says no? If something happens to her, I really don't know how to explain it to His Majesty the Emperor."

"I'm more worried about my mother, she really won't be able to take it."

While feeling each other's skin greedily, the lovers were still thankful that the main room escaped death.

Several Hungarian maids in the room were amused by the strange dialogue.

Of course, none of them made any noise, they just quietly let the two Habsburg majesties enjoy each other's body. (to be continued...)
