Warlock Royal Family

"Since you no longer want your father's estate near Weimar, His Royal Highness the Elector will compensate you six thousand talers in one lump sum."

Compared with the Hohenzollern High Commissioner and the Brandenburg Elector with huge goals, it was much easier for Kessell-Witting to meet the butler of the Saxon Elector.

Although there are common interests, there must still be silver to clear the way. The hatred accumulated in the internal struggles of the Weiting family can be eliminated, but it is not the kind of elimination that meets and smiles, but covers those bloody wounds with real gold and silver.

The figure of [-] talers can indeed make people forget, at least for a while, many deep-seated hatreds, such as the unexplained death of his father, and those manors that were robbed.

This amount of money is enough to build a larger manor in central Hungary, or buy several top-notch shops in Vienna.

Kessell Witting took the heavy bag of gold coins and nodded with satisfaction, frank and direct benefits.

Ladislaus provides high salaries for the standing army, and the payment is timely. In contrast, he is quite strict on the issue of collecting spoils.

During the Battle of the Danube, more than 50 soldiers were executed for looting and possession of booty.

Senior officers like Kessell Witin naturally still have some extra money, and Ladislaus gave them a lot of Hungarian land. [

But this is still not enough. It is obviously impossible to avoid ** if you just think that the treatment is good, and Ladislaus has never been so delusional.

As a central military officer, Kessell-Weiting still wanted to add some family property in Vienna.

He did not want to reclaim the confiscated traditional family lands, preferring to buy property in Vienna or newly conquered Hungary.

From this point of view, he is already a pure Austrian nobleman.

After receiving the money, he talked about the business without hesitation: "Of course the Minister of Hohenzollern supports the Elector of Brandenburg, and the one who has the greatest influence on His Majesty the King is the Machiavelli treasurer. If he is willing to support We are the Witin family, then there is at least half the chance that the position of queen belongs to us."

"His Royal Highness Martin Luther's letter of introduction doesn't seem to be very effective. His Excellency the Treasurer Machiavelli refused to give a chance at all." Machiavelli was not willing to bet easily.

"The next important figure is Sarzastan, but because of Anna Siebo's relationship, he may not be able to speak on this issue. Jones should be consistent with the Hohenzollern officer. It would be nice to be neutral. Now, Frundsberg, who is leading the army, should not express his position on this kind of issue." Kessell-Viting provided valuable information. "There are also the Archbishop of Wuerzburg and the Duke of Horthy. Although their weight is not enough, if they can get a support, it will also help."

"On such half-public and half-private issues, is your Majesty the King still only influenced by members of the State Council?" The steward frowned a little.This purely business-like attitude is not good for small powers. If Ladislaus puts the crown up for sale, then the highest bidder must almost certainly be a powerful kingdom.

"His Majesty's parents have passed away a long time ago, and the only surviving elder is Generalissimo Andre Doria. His influence is also very limited, and his own daughter can't become a queen, which shows this." Kessell-Wei Ting's judgment was fairly accurate.

"The Doria family is nothing more than an urban aristocrat." The butler had a sense of superiority on this issue. "How could His Majesty the King of the United Kingdom marry the daughter of an Italian city-state leader?"

He was right about this.Of course, the reasons for Ladislaus' reluctance to marry Halna don't stop there.

"His Majesty the Emperor is also a relative, but he supports his sister, the original Queen Mary of Hungary. In short, we cannot get enough support from personal contacts." According to Kessell-Viting, the Spanish princess is still the most important. A strong candidate, whether in terms of national strength or warlock blood, Ladislaus is likely to marry his dead wife's sister in the end.

The butler wasn't very worried.He wrote down all the people who needed to be visited and contacted. "Then let's test His Highness Sazastan first. Thank you for your information, General. If you can successfully elect the emperor, His Majesty will definitely have a big thank you."

"Then there's no need. I've already got what I deserved. It's a pity that I can really have a Queen Witin." Although he felt that the chances were slim, Kessell Witin still had expectations.

"North Germany has many opportunities now. The Church of the Dark Sun and the Teutonic Knights have legalized their property. Whoever can get the support of the warlock royal family will get huge benefits in this battle of carve-up. Please also use The career of the Weiting family is the most important thing." Zhu, the butler, is actually a member of the Weiting family, and his grandfather is an illegitimate child, and he can be regarded as one of the third-rate forces within the Weiting family. [

"Of course I know this, please rest assured, Mr. Elector." Of course he is not private.It's not for the family that he doesn't care about very much. Even if he is not a direct blood relative, he will be a trusted relative and natural support of the queen who left his hometown.

By then, who's to say that Kessell-Witting won't have a seat in the Council of State?

The key to it all.It is to get the vacant back seat.

"At the banquet today, the Elector of Brandenburg was very polite to me and spoke to me in her weird Hungarian language. What can they ask of you?" said the Duchess of Horthy on the way back home. , and talked to her husband about what happened at the banquet today.

"Really? You didn't talk nonsense, did you?" Horthy had long seen that his wife was very popular among the ladies, but he didn't expect that the dignified Mrs. Elector would come to curry favor with her.

"What are you talking about, am I such a superficial woman?!: Mrs. Horthy is very upset, mostly because she is dissatisfied with being superficial because she doesn't understand the situation." Of course I chatted with her Heaps of woman nonsense, her necklace, my hairdo, that sort of thing. "

Women's nonsense, the lady can talk about it herself, but if Duke Horty talks about it, it will be a disaster.

"Good wife, you have done a good job, yes, the electors of North Germany are now vying for the position of Queen Ladislaus, so they want to please you." Duke Holthy's words made his wife understand.

"I really didn't see your ability in the past, and you got to the top again so soon. Those German ladies are also respectful to me." The Duchess originally thought that after Hungary was over, she would also She would be thrown out of the top social circle, but her status was hardly damaged compared to what she had been in Buda.

The other Hungarian ladies who don't speak German are very marginal, only she is treated differently, and there are German ladies everywhere coming up to talk to her in Hungarian.

"Hehe, you now know what your husband is capable of." Duke Horthy smiled reservedly. He did have reason to be proud. 90.00% of the Hungarian nobles lost their interests more or less in this accident. He was the one percent that kept the house safe.

Although the power of the Ministry of Propaganda is a little weaker than that of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the United Kingdom is a country that is much more vigorous than the Hungary of the Gronni family. Opportunities and prospects can be seen here.

"This time after the battle, do you think our family has a chance? My two nieces are really young and beautiful. Can we sponsor their dowry of 15 talers? Maybe we can make things happen with 30 talers." Huo Mrs. Horthy suddenly remembered her niece. The Duke of Horthy has been in charge of Hungary's financial power for a long time. After being greatly damaged by the Ottoman invasion, he still has financial resources not inferior to some princes. It is really a huge one. Shuoshu. "Your niece has such a bad temper, I can only let my niece go."

"Impossible." Money is just a number at Duke Horti's level. If it can be used to buy power, he will never be stingy, and he doesn't care about his wife's selfishness towards his sister.

"Didn't you say that His Majesty the King refused to marry Miss Harna-Doria because he, as an exiled prince from Liguria, didn't need to strengthen relations with Liguria? Do you want to strengthen the relationship?" Mrs. Horthy is also considerate of her niece.

"I just said that you are not superficial, and immediately started to think wildly." In fact, Mrs. Horthy's analysis has some truth, but after all, she thought too much. "The warlock royal family has always been very vigilant about the domestic political imbalance caused by their own marriage. They have never looked for a partner within the country. They have always insisted on intermarrying with foreign royal families in order to prevent any important minister from gaining overwhelming sexual power through the relationship of the queen. Don't say Your brother-in-law only has a little influence in Sekshbad Castle, even me, a member of the State Council, is not qualified to be the king's father-in-law."

"Is it possible for Queen Mary? Her status is high enough. In fact, she can also be regarded as a Hungarian. I can talk to her to some extent." Mrs. Horthy's idea is also shared by her husband.

"It depends on the attitude of Madrid. I think the emperor may not be willing to pay a large enough dowry. The alliance between Spain and the United Kingdom is already very close. Of course, if the emperor asks for a price again, I will naturally move. So you must Don't accept any benefits or promise anything indiscriminately."

"Got it, got it." In fact, Mrs. Horthy has always been a good housekeeper, and money that shouldn't be collected can't get in. "But you must be careful about my nephew joining the Propaganda Department."

"Got it, got it." Of course, the nepotism that should be used is still used. (To be continued.)
