Chapter 224: Lasiris' Funeral
Although the Visionary Knight wants more weddings, there is life and death, and there is happiness and separation.
On November 1, 1523, Ladislaus held a simple but solemn funeral for Lasilis in the royal chapel dedicated to the Habsburg family in Vienna.
In order to prepare for the funeral, Ladislaus even postponed the November State Council for one day.
Although I really wanted to bury Lasiris in this chapel, because her parents also moved to the Port of Trieste not long ago, they also died at the hands of Barbary pirates this time, and the tombs of the two of them were
In any case, it was not suitable to be placed in the royal chapel, so Ladislaus finally decided to build a small prayer hall for the family on the outskirts of the city to house their tombs.
Princess Katharina and her reluctant cousin Harna were also invited to the funeral, as were all members of the Council of State.
Catharina did want to resist at first, and she even planned to escape back to Spain. After this plan was reported to Ladislaus by her advisor, Ladislaus slipped Catharina into the space between Aspirations and her brother.
After talking for a while, the princess finally gave in.
At the very least, it can be said that the bloody room and her brother's head made her understand a little bit about the cruelty of life. In fact, Her Royal Highness was so frightened by this program that she became completely honest.
Although it was arranged by her head maid, she did just as Ladislaus expected, while tremblingly waiting for her to take a bath, while shedding tears to reflect on her stupidity.
Therefore, the conflict between Ladislaus and Katharina did not spread beyond the bedroom, let alone Spain. In fact, they spent the night together every day these days.
The cousins got along quite well in bed the next few times. Except for the first time when he was very manic, Ladislaus never treated Her Royal Highness's ass harshly again.
Now that obedience has been obtained, there is really no need to continue to torture the young lady who has just left her family to live in a strange environment, and it is not Ladislaus's wish to make her fear and resent the things in the boudoir.
Marquise Margherita is also here today. Although she has not been favored these days, she should be satisfied with the position of palace mistress.
Although Ladislaus repeatedly stated that he would not hold anyone accountable for his fault, Mrs. Reinhardt was really frightened by the way this palace fight took place, and she insisted on resigning from the position of housekeeper.
Ladislaus arranged for her to participate in the construction of Vienna Neustadt. She should still have certain professional talents in designing aqueducts and sewage pipes.
These two ladies were also invited to attend the funeral today, together with the Marchioness Facchetti who came from Siena. In addition to Anna, who was "pregnant and physically weak", Radice
The entire harem of Routh came to attend the funeral.
Although Ladislaus invited Anna, showing that he was not afraid of the Lord of Fire's electors, Anna's absence still saved him a lot of trouble.
No matter what the past history is, since the Lord of Fire and the Knights of Vision are now in an alliance, great courtesy must be given to the voters of the Lord of Flame.
Today, most of the members of the Red Robe Mages were also invited to attend the funeral. Most of them are believers of the Lord of Fire. Anna's record of destroying all the Spanish Assassins cannot be concealed. If they were to do so in public,
It would be awkward to salute Anna.
This is Lasiris's funeral after all.
The female shipowner's faith during her lifetime was Arkady, the god of the wind element, in order to get his help at sea. After all the trouble, Ladislaus finally found an Arkady priest to pray for her.
Lasiris received far more courtesy than a royal mistress, and Ladislaus treated her as a pioneer in Austria's pursuit of maritime interests.
Although in this short period of time, although she worked hard, she did not provide much help to Ladislaus. In the end, even the foundation of the dismal business was destroyed.
Of course, this failure was due to the fact that the female shipowner had no sense of worry and was completely unaware that her competitors were no longer the businessmen with only commercial means in the past, but the powerful and cruel Venetian predators.
But this is not a miscalculation on the part of Ladislaus. Lasiris was not qualified to compete with those fierce enemies.
Therefore, Ladislaus still felt the need to praise her diligence and remember her sacrifice.
Although Ladislaus slept with other women without ceremony shortly after her death, this does not mean that he forgot her tenderness.
Seeing her body, all the memories and stories came to Ladislaus's mind again, and his sad feelings were not false.
Under the body of a power animal, there is still a little bit of softness, maybe not much, indeed rarely exposed. But those things do exist.
"Ms. Lasilis is my sincere and honest friend. She followed me from the Republic of Liguria to Vienna during my most difficult time. During this period, she has served me faithfully and diligently for the Habsburg family. She has served for the Austrian people.
Her efforts for business prosperity and people's welfare will always remain in my heart. Her unfortunate death is not only a great personal loss for me, but also a great loss for the Grand Duchy of Austria."
After a slight pause, Ladislaus continued.
"These despicable and shameless Barbary pirates will be severely punished, justice will definitely come to their heads, and all sinners will have to pay for the crimes they committed."
To Sazastan's ears, Ladislaus seemed to be saying that the Venetian Republic was equally guilty as the Barbary pirates.
However, he was not sure, because Ladislaus asked him and Machiavelli to support him in strengthening commercial ties with the Republic of Venice at the State Council.
They don't have much interest in the Austrian power system, so it's naturally not a problem.
The real trouble is a few veterans. They all have their own business relationships and complicated human relationships. Their families are oligarchs in a certain field in Austria. Trade ties with Venice are still good for the middle and lower classes, but for those in a monopoly position,
It's very bad for big businessmen.
The greater the scale of the overall commercial contest, the better Wo'jin's followers become at this competition.
Ladislaus personally exchanged views with Chancellor Hohenzollern and Frundsberg at the funeral, hoping that he would also support his policy so that the State Council could remain consistent and avoid forcible passage.
But Ladislaus now has other leverage: road projects.
