Ladislaus was discussing their child with Anna when the bad news reached Vienna.

Anna still shows no sign of pregnancy. In fact, the entire Vienna court has been shrouded in suspicion. The ladies, including Princess Katherina and cousin Harna, have long been looking forward to a farce to reveal the good news.

, while Sazastan and the red-robed mages, the basic members of Kashus, became more and more nervous, worried that Anna had made a terrible mistake.

Everyone had doubts, except Ladislaus, who was mostly worried and fearful.

Ladislaus had already verified with Barbarossa again, and the result of the verification was that he was absolutely unmistakable. A new member of the Habsburg family was brewing in the belly of the Cassus electorate. The birth of this child

The unbreakable friendship between the Knights of Vision and the Lord of Fire will be reaffirmed.

As for when this child will be born, He doesn't know.

After finishing his morning work, Ladislaus waited for Anna to come to have lunch. This lunch meeting had been delayed for a long time. Both parties seemed to be busy people, and Anna's time was as unpredictable as Ladislaus's.

As soon as Anna entered the room, Ladislaus waved everyone to leave. After the maids including Margarita, the matron, left, Ladislaus asked directly without being polite: "Please sit down.

, Praise for your burning enthusiasm, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to see me. This time I just want to ask when our child will be born? I have prepared the territory, and I am ready to name him Will

Duke of Zburg.”

Although he was quite hesitant before meeting, once he actually met Ladislaus, he no longer hesitated and asked directly, staring at Anna's belly.

"You are the majestic monarch of Austria, and I only manage a small church. How dare you say you are busy?" Anna was not so direct. She took a sip of "Tranquility Harbor" and said, "Since I drank with you in the embassy in Florence,

After drinking this kind of wine, I became obsessed with the taste. This kind of wine is very rare recently, and Her Royal Highness the Princess and your cousin control all the products on the market."

"If you like, I'll say hello to the brewery and I'll give you as much as you want. But is it really okay for pregnant women to drink?" Since Ladislaus had opened his mouth, he had to ask the question.

"You only need to worry about the effects of alcohol when the mortal embryo is in the mother's body. You and my child don't need to worry. Just like the gestation period of a mortal is ten months. But the gestation period of our child is not ten months." Anna.

The explanation was not straightforward, but Ladislaus understood it.

"I see." Ladislaus didn't say anything like, 'How dare you modify my son without your own permission?' The current situation was obviously caused by the intervention of Cassus' divine power. Ladislaus

Without the determination to take revenge on the Lord of Flame, the other party will naturally have no scruples.

I can only hope that although Anna and I have great hatred, we will not hate our son.

Although he had been mentally prepared, the conversation that followed still made Ladislaus quite painful.

He carefully avoided mentioning their past in Liguria, nor did he ask about each other's busy present, let alone the future planned by the Church of Cassus.

Because these will only bring resentment and suspicion, the alliance between the Habsburg family and the Church of Cassus is purely due to the strong pressure of Cyric.

Obviously, a conversation that cannot be had in the past, present or future can only be a social nightmare.

So when Mr. Jones and Sirica asked for an urgent meeting, Ladislaus felt somewhat relieved.

"Since you have urgent matters, I will resign. Please don't worry, your son will be born smoothly." Jones lowered his head very low. This Ms. Anna is the most dangerous person that Vienna's top leaders dare not contact. He is already enough.

Annoyed. Being the messenger of bad news is not a good job.

Boss Sirica feels a little more at ease.

"The French army launched a strong attack and conquered the city of Milan in three days?" Ladislaus was disappointed that his defense arrangements were completely ineffective. "If the provincial governor and city defense officer are still alive, they will be detained as soon as they are discovered, and the city will be destroyed."

Please also find out the details for me."

"The governor has died for his country. The details of the capture of Milan have been brought by several officers who escaped from the city." Jones continued. "The French army captured Milan with the help of internal agents."

"Is that so? The time when the French army wiped out the Sforza family, they left spies in the city?" Ladislaus asked. This could be regarded as a superior move by the French king.

"Maybe so." Jones seemed to hesitate.

"Tell me, what words can't come out of your throat? My Chief of Secrets." Ladislaus noticed Jones' distress.

"It was Ibrahimovic, the city defender, who opened the gates for the French army." In fact, Jones had no choice. Sooner or later, Ladislaus would know that the person he promoted had betrayed him.

"Ibrahimovic?" Ladislaus finally felt angry. "I pulled him out of the Church of Unfortunate Girls and gave him power and honor, but he actually betrayed me?"

"According to those defeated soldiers, there was a great conflict between the provincial governor and the city defense officer. The provincial governor was sent from Vienna, and the State Council supported him, but although Ibrahimovic was very hostile among the local people, he still had a certain degree of support.

Connections can be exploited. There is a fierce battle between them for authority and jobs.”

"I think it was the governor who defeated Ibrahimovic, so he chose to cooperate with the King of France out of spite." Boss Sirica spoke for the first time.

"That's not the case, Silica, no." Ladislaus allowed the two intelligence officers to leave. "Jones, summon all the members of the State Council. I am going to study countermeasures."

After the two left the room, Ladislaus poured the entire bottle of "Tranquility Harbor" down his throat.

He did not go on to explain that he had supported Ibrahimovic several times in the conflicts between the governor and Ibrahimovic, making him the number one figure in Milan. Compared with the bureaucratic governor who relied on the recommendation of the Hohenzollern prime minister, Radi

Slaus admired this man full of fighting spirit even more.

Unlike the speculation of Boss Sirica, Ibrahimovic is not a loser in the political struggle.

However, Ladislaus was not surprised by his betrayal, because full of fighting spirit is full of desire for power. This Ibrahimovic would betray without hesitation for more power and more wealth. Ladislaus

He was only reused because he was confident that the Habsburg family could give him the most power and wealth, and also out of the principle of rewarding merit and punishing crime to reward his contribution in cutting off the Benshaba Church.
