A few days before Katherina learned of her mother's arrival, Juana and her eldest daughter were already on the verge of entering Austrian-controlled territory.

Because of the time when Catharina was attacked last time, the Spanish fleet did not enter the Adriatic Sea this time, but moved along the coastline, only sending the two ladies to northern Italy, and then they headed overland to Buda.

Spain's main fleet was contained in the Netherlands, and the New World's demand for shipping capacity was increasing, so it was impossible for Madrid to dispatch a escort fleet large enough to suppress the size of the Ottoman fleet.

Although the Principality of Modena on the east coast of the Tyrrhenian Sea is an ally of Austria, the Spanish fleet still chose the port of Liguria to dock. The port of Modena was too small for the Spanish fleet.

Although he had actually given a dowry last time, Ladislaus's worth had doubled now, so Ferdinand asked his mother and sister to bring more gifts.

Ladislaus's great victory in the East made the ambassadors of Spain and Austria proud at every court, and their request for the use of ports was easily accepted by the Grand Marshal Doria.

The two distinguished ladies were warmly welcomed by Andrea Doria in Liguria.

They rested one night in the former Xibo mansion and headed to Milan the next day.

Both ladies have their own rooms of course, and now they are both chatting in Juana's room.

Juana is already over forty, but she doesn't look old at all.

At her peak, she was a powerful sorcerer who was even more powerful than Ladislaus today, only slightly less powerful than Ferdinand, and stronger than several of her daughters.

Although it can no longer be regarded as an effective force, the natural affinity with the magic network is still there.

So she doesn't look much older than her daughter who is in her early thirties.

In addition, the styles of their clothes are also very similar.

Under the dim light, it was difficult to tell who was the mother and who was the daughter.

But as soon as they spoke, their voices were obviously different.

"Mother, it's really strange. Isn't this Lady Doria our enemy? It is said that her daughter is also in Vienna, and that Harna is said to be the same as that annoying Anna Siebo, and is related to His Majesty Ladislaus.

We grew up together." Elanova's voice is as soft as her character.

Today Andrea Doria personally led the majority of the Ligurian Navy to greet the Spanish fleet outside the harbor. At the reception banquet, he repeatedly stated that as the dictator of the Republic of Liguria, he was a minister of the Holy Roman Emperor, so naturally he was

A servant of the emperor's mother.

Elanova originally thought that Grand Marshal Doria would handle their transit in a low-key manner. After all, he was still a vassal of the King of France.

"Ah, Elanova, this gentleman is not such a shallow person. He can make his nephew into such a hero. Of course he is also a great person. Of course, he has no good intentions in placing us here."

Juana's voice was completely different from her daughter's, low and distant, like a melodious cello.

Juana was lying leisurely on the rocking chair where the old Archon Sibo once lay, looking very calm and comfortable.

Her words showed that she had better judgment than her eldest daughter and saw Doria's little conspiracy.

"Are you saying that he deliberately provoked our dissatisfaction with Anna Siebo? He is so brave!" Elanova was very angry that the other party wanted to take advantage of her.

But even though she was so angry, her voice was still soft when she spoke.

Elanova has been in a good mood these days. Compared to her younger sister and younger brother, as the eldest daughter, she has always consciously assumed more responsibilities towards her mother, but this obligation was about to overwhelm her. Juana's spirit

The situation is getting worse due to being isolated and living.

It wasn't until Ferdinand and his lover arrived in Madrid that the situation improved greatly. Ferdinand's patience with his mother had not been tortured by years of life, and his lover Sunis, the princess of the stone, had the unique ability to quiet her mind. Just stay with her.

In a room, Juana's mind becomes stable.

In addition, she also provided Juana with a very precious potion that could temporarily resist Siric's divine power.

This series of services is not cheap. Even if Ferdinand takes good care of his lover, it is still very expensive after discounting.

Although the Kingdom of Spain still absolutely does not accept the preaching of Gulamba's priests.

But in Brussels, the Gulamba Church was given several pieces of land in the city center to build churches.

Not only the land, the local government and garrison in Spain provided building materials and labor respectively to help the pastors of Gulamba.

Of course, the high-end gem processing industry associated with these churches also contributed a lot of tax revenue to Ferdinand. In the long run, the value of the land and buildings can definitely be recovered.

"Oh, don't be so excited, my daughter. He is just seeking more living space for his daughter. Besides, we can't sanction him. In this case, why are you angry?" Europa has always rumored that Juana is because of her husband.

Every time during her pregnancy, she flirted with women and had a nervous breakdown.

But in fact, she can handle this kind of thing. She has seen a lot of things between men and women in the court, and she will only be slightly unhappy at most. "Halna Doria has no children, and your sister's main rival is Anna.

-Xibo. Of course, if she is honest, we don’t need to kill her all."

"If he can change his camp, he will be of great value to the emperor." Mother made it clear, and Elanova also reacted. This Marshal Doria is probably a very important weight in the balance of power. "But he

The weight is not enough to decide the succession issue in Vienna, the biggest trouble is still the Lord of Fire."

The value of the Ligurian fleet became increasingly clear to Spain, which had ports everywhere to protect.

"It is not only valuable to Madrid, but also to Vienna. Elanova, you must no longer think that His Majesty Ladislaus is just the emperor's assistant. Although it is not necessarily true that the main force of the Ottoman army was eliminated, but

His power must have greatly expanded, and he is definitely no longer at the level of a relatively powerful imperial prince, and judging from his determination in pursuing the Ottomans, he is by no means an easily satisfied person."

"Don't worry, I know." Elanova has a very docile personality, Juana knows that, and is just reminding her out of necessity.

"By the way, did you get a letter from the Duke of Bourbon today?"

"Yes, he said that because of the war with the Holy See, he can't meet us in Italy. He will cross the Adriatic Sea and go to Buda via Trieste."

"Oh, that's such a shame, but it would be great to go to war with the Holy See... Damn the Pope and damn Cyric..."

"The Greatest Siric.........I was wrong......"

"Damn evil god, get out..."

"Get out of my head............."

"No, no, no, don't leave me, O omniscient and almighty God..."

"Forgive me, forgive me..."

As soon as Elanova said the word "Rome", she realized that she had said the wrong thing.

"General Manager, General Manager!" She activated a ghost mask to protect herself and shouted for help.

As soon as Florentino heard Elanova's cry, he immediately rushed to the big room where the mother and daughter were with the two monks.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw various magical auras surrounding his mistress.

Juana already has "Ghost Face" and "Eagle's Glory" on her body, and maybe a "Level Magic Absorption".

'here we go again.'

Although Juana does not have any casting materials on her body, she is able to cast spells under certain conditions. This is Cyric's malice.

However, the General Manager has not dealt with this situation once or twice.

"Quick! We can't let His Majesty use Tan Sen's transformation technique!"

Although Juana's "Law Blindness" hit him, he was able to subdue the powerful warlock in less than half a minute with the help of two assistants.

Although she was knocked unconscious, the crazy and twisted expression was still frozen on Juana's face.

Just like in the past twenty years, Cyric is mercilessly torturing this enemy who wants to pry into His secrets.

Elanova took out a bottle of ink jade from her suitcase, stuck a drop of gel on her finger, and then applied it to the unconscious Juana's lips.

Less than ten seconds after "Gulamba's Comfort" seeped into her lips, the frantic expression on Juana's face disappeared, and she fell asleep as peacefully as a baby.

All he left behind was a mess in the room, as well as his smiling daughter and courtiers.

"Thank you very much, Your Highness the Grand Steward." Elanova expressed her gratitude to Florentino, who was still unable to see. "It's really dangerous to travel long distances."

"This is my duty, not to mention that His Majesty the Knight of Great Vision has summoned me. How could we not send your mother here?"
