Liguria city, Doria family cemetery, hanging in progress.

"one two three!"

"rise!"

"rise!"

"Watch out, watch out!"

"Bang................."

Although the operation was very careful, the coffin still collapsed.

A corpse rolled out of it.

Milo and Bensuo were both horrified for a moment.

It's not that they are afraid of death. Although they are all young men, they have seen many dead people over the years.

It's just that the identity of this corpse put a lot of psychological pressure on them. What they must not mess up, they still messed up.

This is Ladislaus's father.

"It's nothing. We are all reliable people here and won't tell anyone."

Marshal Doria's voice did not change at all.

Only then did Milo and Benso understand why their father had asked relatives of the Doria family to be responsible for hanging the coffin.

He insisted not to let the gravediggers do it, but to let members of the Doria family do the job.

It turns out it's not to "show respect for the sorcerer royal family." It's to keep it secret.

Marshal Doria, who had long known about the possibility, had even prepared a new coffin.

An hour later, the remains of Ladislaus's parents were put into a huge copper coffin. This kind of coffin is generally used for the royal family, which can be interpreted as a sign of flattery to Ladislaus.

Of course it won't open for inspection.

"The quality of the coffins of my father, aunt and uncle is not bad, but there is a problem with the location of our ancestral tomb. It is too close to the sea, and the moisture will seep in and cause the coffin to disintegrate in just a few decades." There is only one left.

After the father and son came down, Milo finally couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, even if they are not the core members of the family, how can I be stingy with my sister and brother-in-law on this issue?" Marshal Doria replied. The funerals of Ladislaus's parents were held by Marshal Doria.

Organized.

"That's not what I meant. I meant that the positions of aunt and uncle are already relatively high. The core position is five meters lower. Wouldn't it be the coffins of our ancestors of the Doria family???" The Doria family regards being close to the sea as a symbol.

Honor, so the ancestors with high status are in a lower position. "Grandpa's body also......"

"It must have been a mess, but so what?" Marshal Doria said matter-of-factly.

"But, but..." Milo felt that he didn't know what to say.

Looking at his eldest son's troubled face, Marshal Doria gradually became serious.

"Miluo, a real man is responsible for what he did before he died. What's the point of worrying about a pile of flesh that has lost its soul? Whether it's wrapped in a golden coffin or buried in the sea, it's just a normal thing."

Marshal Doria is worthy of being Ladislaus's mentor and an indispensable hero.

It's just that Milo still doesn't have the freedom and ease of his father. He secretly made up his mind to never let his father encounter such a thing.

"Okay, it's rare that Bensuo comes back, just in time to attend your brother's wedding in three days."

"Oh?" Bensuo was busy moving the tomb after returning to the Ligurian city. He never knew about it. "That's really congratulations. Which family are you from?"

"The daughter of the Duke of Savoy." Milo couldn't be said to be happy or unhappy, it was just an ordinary political marriage.

As a feudal aristocrat, he actually didn't like urban aristocrats very much, but the Duke of Savoy couldn't afford much dowry, so he had no choice but to accept the Doria family.

"It's very good. The Savoy family is an ancient noble of the Holy Roman Empire, and it also has connections in the Paris court. My sister will probably find a local wife for me in Vienna." Benso gave up the ambassadorship and completely became the choice of the Austrian nobles.

Naturally, his father and brother had known about it for a long time. "But I will not attend the wedding. I can't afford to delay for three days. My sister told me to be as flattering as possible. The sooner I can go back, Ladislaus's feelings for his parents

You can transfer more of it to me and her, and I will leave early tomorrow morning."

"Well, your sister is really mature. She is right." Marshal Doria is most worried about this daughter. "Your sister has no children. The Austrian court is very dangerous now. You must protect her."

Although Harna has been helping Benso in Vienna, and it is Harna who thinks more thoughtfully when encountering problems, but Benso still nodded heavily: "It is said that Ladislaus is considering the princess of Moscow. This kind of

Foreign princesses are no threat to my sister."

"You must keep an eye on that remnant of the Xibo family." Milo was even more worried about Anna and her son.

"Anna Sibo has always held her son in her hands and wanted to use the power of the Church of Cassus to fight for the throne. Later, Ladislaus became so popular that it was too late for her to regret it." Benso still had enough to deal with the situation of her sister's enemies.

Understood. After all, this is also the guarantee of his status.

"I really didn't expect that Ladislaus turned out to be such a person. There were so many emperors and kings, and none of them ended well against the Ottomans. But not only did he survive, he also got such a shining crown and a vast world.

Territory." Milo said this with a bit of disbelief.

"There is no need to mention the dangers during this period, but judging from the fact that he built such a strong city of Vienna, he does have a reputation for foresight." Benso thought for a while and decided to say directly. "The Duke of Bourbon received a sum of money, and he wanted it immediately.

If he attacks again, the target may be Provence or Bourbon. However, no matter where he attacks, he will poison Liguria. Savoy has nothing to grab. For military expenses and food, he must attack Liguria first.

Idea, father, you should make preparations early."

Benso was very worried when he said that. Although he wanted to become an Austrian noble, he still couldn't worry about his motherland and hometown.

"You don't have to worry about this. I have my own arrangements. You just have to fulfill your obligations to Austria." Marshal Doria thought for a while and stopped talking. "In short, you and your sister should write more letters to your mother.

.”

Harna also often wrote letters home, while Benso rarely wrote home letters, so he didn't know that his brother was getting married.

"Besides, before you get married, I will hand over to you in advance the part of the family property that I plan to inherit for you. You will probably go to Hungary to serve. Many things will be easy to do if you have money." Although Marshal Doria is far away in Liguria,

But at a glance it was clear that Ladislaus was most likely to arrange for his cousin to go to the newly acquired territory.

Bensuo didn't show any pretense and nodded directly to accept.

Milo didn't say anything. This was all agreed upon a long time ago. They were supposed to share the money equally. Now that Bensuo needed the money, he gave it to him in advance.

He has gained a political legacy and has nothing to complain about.

What's more, the profits of the Doria family's fleet have skyrocketed recently due to the decline of Venice, so giving Benso a little cash is really nothing.

In terms of pure economic status, the Doria family is not inferior to Ladislaus, but of course the power is far behind.

.............................

Migratory birds in the sky fly south, and they fly along the Apennine Peninsula to the other side of the Mediterranean to spend the winter.

Benso returned north to Vienna.

When sending Bensuo away, Milo unexpectedly found that he seemed to be in pain.

Seeing his younger brother who had grown up with him waving his hand in the distance, he felt that his eyes were a little moist.

Unlike those migratory birds that go from winter to summer, if everything goes well, my brother will never come back again.

When he no longer fights for power, brotherly love returns to him.

However, this kind of relationship can only be realized when we are far apart. If we get together every day, friction and fighting will inevitably occur.

And Cousin Ladislaus, no matter how powerful and dangerous the king you are, I just hope you can treat Harna better and give her more attention and tenderness.

"Okay. We have to prepare for action." Marshal Doria's voice awakened Milo from his complicated memory, "Have all the preparations been completed?"

It would be a disaster to become the main battlefield between Spain and France for hegemony. If the Republic of Liguria does not want to follow in the footsteps of Savoy, it must save itself.

Milo immediately nodded in response: "Yes, father, everything is ready. The Duke of Modena hopes that the Spanish army will not continue to concentrate in this direction that is useless to him. With the cooperation of the Duke of Modena, the Spanish army will definitely be mobilized."

For different reasons, Marshal Doria and the Duke of Modena both wanted the focus of the conflict to move away from northern Italy.
