A group of people looked curiously at the already-depleted elk. The power of the crossbow arrows was great. It directly penetrated the neck of the elk. Looking at the elk with no other wounds on the body except a bleeding wound, people looked at it curiously and curiously. Sophia.

Many people are full of curiosity about this ‘Greece Princess’.

There have been many rumors about her origin. Some people say that she fled from Crete. How many hardships she has experienced on her escape, so that her loyal followers have been killed in time and time again.

Some people say that she is actually just a shepherdess of a common farm in the Balkan mountains, and she became a legendary princess after being found.

However, some people said that she was actually sent to a girl in the Prague court quietly under the protection of the East Roman nobles who fled from Greece very early. The Bohemian king secretly took her and then hid her in her own court. , Waiting for the right time to make her appear in front of the world.

However, some people said that in fact the princess was handed over to a Bohemian by her faithful men. They let the Bohemian take her around and the loyal guardians turned into Various identities, lurking around her, secretly guarding the last blood of the Eastern Roman Empire, waiting for the opportunity to return to the country.

There are many rumors about this mysterious girl, and some are even more spread.

But no matter what the statement is, it seems so mysterious and unfounded, which makes Sophia's identity even more elusive.

Regarding these rumors, Zeppes once searched for the source of their rumors, but despite secretly paying attention to it, he had a hard time finding the source of these rumors.

Zeppes once thought about whether these rumors were intentionally disseminated by Ladislas II, because he noticed some details in these rumors, including the origins of Sophia. It seems that every legend is worth something. Believe, if you look closely, you will find that all the rumors are again specious. Each of these rumors does not mention whether Sophia is really the last orthodox descendant of the Eastern Roman Empire, but every one seems to point to her identity. The final blood of the Valleio dynasty.

Zeppes knew that such rumors were actually just right. If people believed that the identity of the Roman descendants was enough for the King of Bohemia to benefit from them, but if someone pointed out that the girl was not the one people imagined, these rumors were almost No one really proves that she is indeed the person that people have been expecting.

It's just that it doesn't matter how many people now care whether she is the Greek princess.

Since the end of last year, more people have appeared in Bucharest. In 1499, more and more people have gathered in Bucharest in the past two months, except for the King of Bohemia, the Grand Duke of Wallachia and The remnants of the East Roman descendants who lost the country, as well as the large and small nobles from Moravia, Bosnia or their messengers, there are even rumors that Vienna has heard about the princess , The emperor had sent messengers to Bucharest.

And vaguely, Cepes also heard that there seemed to be people from the Vatican appearing in the Balkans, just because the news was mixed, so I didn't know if it was a misinformation for a while.

The girl riding a horse has always attracted the attention of too many people. As for why people should focus on such a person at the age of 14, and knowing her situation a little bit, she knows that she is actually a dumb person who can't speak. There are different reasons for female girls, and some of them are undeclarable.

At least Zeppes knew that his own reasons were not as noble as it seemed.

Cepes is the son of the famous Duke of Transylvania, Transylvania. As a descendant of the famous piercing male, Vlad left his son a fierce. At the same time, the name and the Grand Duke of Wallachia also left a terrible mess.

The situation of the Principality of Wallachia is subtle. As a Christian country, Wallachia does not have good relations with neighboring Hungary, but as a principality that attaches to Ottoman nominally, from the time of Zepez ’s grandfather, Wallachia and Ottoman's relationship has always been surrender, sometimes relied on and rebelled.

It's just that the situation has changed over time, and Wallachia has become increasingly difficult to play with his wrist in this kind of crack.

So on the major choice of whether to completely surrender to Ottoman and eventually be inevitably completely swallowed, or to see the opportunity to turn to those European countries that are clearly aware of the dangers and are preparing to unite together to fight against pagans, Zeppes is facing A very difficult choice.

At this time, the legend about the Greek princess suddenly appeared. From the beginning, he disregarded the legend and gradually became the strongest supporter around the princess. Zeppes was thoughtful, even for He had carefully considered whether he should propose to the princess when necessary.

As for the true and false identity of the princess, at least in Cepes's view, there is absolutely no need to pursue.

But that was before he met Sophia. When he actually saw the 'Greece Princess' and spent time with her, Zeppes found that he was gradually developing an unusual interest in this girl, even if her manners were sometimes Obviously not like a princess, more importantly, she is actually a dumb, but he found that this did not affect his interest in this girl.

However, Zepes also keenly discovered the idea of ​​Ladislas II trying to fight on this girl, which made Zepisi secretly remind himself to be careful not to arouse the resentment of the Bohemian king and his wife, after all, he is now Need the king's support.

Sophia took off the short crossbow string very carefully. She usually took care of it in order to maintain the short crossbow. Sometimes, in order to maintain the tenacity of the bow string, she would deliberately apply it carefully with butter, just like her body. Like the well-known armor, she does all these tasks in person and never fakes others.

The "Greece Princess" has a set of armor that is so gorgeous that many people doubt it. The style and pattern of the armor are obviously the most popular in Milan, especially those on the armor are inlaid with beautiful enamel. The pattern once made many people wonder if wearing such a set of armor on the battlefield would instantly become a target for the enemy to set fire.

This makes people wonder who the unsuspecting guy gave Sophia such a set of armor, and what makes people more surprised is that this set of armor is obviously not just a beautiful look. This only starts after Sophia puts it on. It can be heard from the sound of the rubbing of the armor of 'dinglin squeal', which is definitely a genuine thing.

Sofia sometimes likes to wear that set of armor to show off in front of people, which gives some people a new idea. Reminiscent of the famous French heroine who was famously galloping a few decades ago, some people have begun to call Sofia the Greek chastity. Virtue.

This title seemed to please Ladislas II, not only did he not stop it, but took the opportunity to spread it, so Sophia ’s reputation spread like wings among the mountains of the Balkans. Many people were attracted to Bucharest, and finally finally attracted the attention of Sultan Bayesert II himself.

"You shouldn't chase the elk. You know that sometimes the beast is threatening when there is nowhere to go. Even an elk may do terrible things to escape."

Zepez accompanied Sophia, who didn't know why her mood suddenly became too low. When he turned his head slightly, his eyes would involuntarily fall on Sophia's high chest, perhaps the vest of the hunting skirt. It's too fit, Sophia's chest that totally disrespects her peers makes Cepes feel a little hot.

Sophia didn't seem to hear it. She looked down at the road with her head down, and her eyes were obviously dim. If she didn't know that her hearing was not a problem, Cepes thought she would not only be able to speak or hear.

It wasn't until reminded again that Sophia seemed to be awake from her delusion. She looked at Cepes with a daze, and then made a vague noise in her throat.

"What do you think of your adoptive father?" Zepes asked, knowing the Bohemian named Nashan, the guard and lover next to Queen Bohemian, as for Sophia's relationship with the adoptive father and daughter of Nashan Whether it is true or not, Cepes thinks it is better not to inquire about it.

However, when he was idle, Zeppes couldn't help but wonder if Sophia was an illegitimate daughter of Nashan and the queen.

The queen is obviously very good to Sophia, which can be seen from her always like to take Sophia with her. For example, this time the hunting queen not only brought Sophia specially, but also dressed her as unusually beautiful as always.

Zeppes sometimes wonders whether the queen regards Sophia as a doll, because she always wears her beautiful clothes, puts on gorgeous jewelry, and dresses her up like a beloved toy after she dresses up beautifully. Appeared in front of people.

As a result, someone started courting the 14-year-old girl.

The first one who was so bold was a nobleman from Hungary. The unlucky ghost suddenly knelt in front of Sophia in front of Sophia and recited aloud to praise her beautiful verses, and then used the exaggerated tone to the queen to ensure that she would cherish and love her most Lovely goddess'.

The result of this was to wait for the other nobles who hadn't awakened to be annoyed yet. The queen already scolded the noble in public.

Then after a rebuke, the queen directly ordered that the nobleman be expelled from Bucharest and rushed back to his territory, and Ladislas II, who heard about it, even announced that the nobleman was forbidden to leave his territory until Introspection and regret for getting the king's forgiveness.

It was after that that people knew the attitude of the Bohemian King and his wife towards this girl, and how important this girl was in the eyes of the King and his wife.

Zepes can be so close to Sophia, although he is the Grand Duke of Wallachia, more because many noble descendants of East Rome were exiled to Wallachia and Moravia, including such as Gilas That is the descendant of the prestigious family of the Eastern Roman Empire.

Although the nobles of the East Romans have been in exile, they still have a profound influence in Greece, which makes Zepes more important than others in the eyes of Ladislas II.

A soft squeak came out of Sophia's mouth, and Zeppes followed Sophia's slightly curious glance, and saw a young man kneeling on one side of the road not far from them.

The young man was wearing a half-hull armor, a helmet was clamped under his armpit, and his head was raised high with a pair of longing eyes firmly fixed on Sophia's body.

Zepes frowned, and he knew the young man, the messenger sent by the Viscount Herva from Croatia, whose name seemed to be Moorco.

Speaking of this young man, he is now a celebrity in Zagreb.

But the reason why he is famous is not because of his status. In fact, although this young man's own status is ordinary, even his master is only a trivial exile, although the title of heir to the Duke of Zagreb is on his head. But in fact it is a noble nobleman who has no territories.

This Moorco is famous because he fights with people on the street on the first day of entering the city, and after being taken by Zeppes who happened to pass by at that time, the young man then did something that made everyone dumbfounded.

When he saw Sophia for the first time, the young knight named Moore expressed his love for her in public.

This is the first person who dares to take risks since the Hungarian noble showed his love to Sophia and was severely reprimanded!

At that time, many people were surprised and then excited. People waited to see what was going on, and they speculated about the punishment this young man would receive.

As soon as she heard the news, the queen was furious. She ordered the little knight to be driven out of the city, and at the same time warned him not to return to Bucharest, or he would be ordered to be arrested.

But no one thought that this young knight named Moorco showed extraordinary courage and resilience. After being expelled from the city, he did not leave Bucharest but waited on the roadside outside the city every day, although Knowing that it was unlikely to meet Sophia, he ignored the heavy snow and froze, and stayed so stubbornly outside the city.

Every time someone walks in and out of the city, he will see a young man looking at the city with hot eyes. The stubborn look makes people think he can give up everything.

As the time passed, the young man attracted more and more attention, and people began to circulate the long-lasting affection for this infatuated young knight, so that when Zepez heard about it, Sophia had already heard about it. Rumors of a brash youth.

The legends of infatuated knights and noble princesses will always lead to various stories, especially the disparity of identity, which always makes people more sympathetic to the soullessness and affection of this story.

Eventually, when he saw the young knight who was stupidly standing outside the city with his own eyes, Sophia rarely asked the queen to plead for him.

Moorco was eventually pardoned, and he was allowed to enter the city, and as the messenger of the Viscount of Hurva, this otherwise unknown little person became a celebrity in Bucharest.

It's just that Moorco didn't seem timid because he was pardoned. He still obsessed with Sophia almost obsessively. Although he couldn't make it public, he always silently expressed his love for Sophia in his own way.

"Knight, your stubbornness will one day let you lose your life," Zeppes looked at Moore on the side of the road. "The queen forgives you because of your bravery, but your stubbornness and entanglement are indeed easy to anger people."

"Adult, I just like what I like," Moore stood up, but his eyes were always on Sophia. "I used to think I was in love with a young lady, but now I know that I was just because I was too naive. . "

"But you can't guarantee whether your present infatuation is naive. Believe me that it won't be long before you send your own infatuation. It's so funny."

Cepes looked at Moorco a little helplessly. He didn't want to crack down on this young man, but he also wanted to tell him that his wishful thinking was trivial in Bucharest. Those who wanted to fight the idea of ​​a Greek princess could circle the city wall.

Moore wanted to argue with Cepes. Although he had great respect for the Grand Duke of Wallachia, the excited love made him somewhat desperate.

But without waiting for him to speak, one hand suddenly pressed against the top of his head.

Morco turned back in amazement, and his face flushed instantly.

Sophia didn't know when she had brought the horse to him. She rode on the top of the horse and pressed her hand slightly against the palm of Morco's head, pushing it back slightly. Moorco could not help raising her head to stare at her.

Sophia's eyes were full of curiosity, and Moorco was excited, and for a time, the two looked at each other in such a weird posture.

Sophia finally withdrew her hand, and she ignored Moore's urge to move the horse forward, leaving the young knight looking at her back with excitement.

That man, he doesn't love me. Sophia gestured to Cepes immediately.

"How do you know, everyone in Bucharest knows that he loves you crazy."

Zepes asked curiously ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ Sometimes he thinks this girl is really strange, perhaps because she was raised by her "adoptive father", she seems to have Bohemian characteristics. The kind of savage mystery.

I just know it. Sophia raised her head slightly, raised her chin proudly, and looked at Cepes with a slightly stubborn look.

Her appearance caused Zeppes's smile, but before he could say anything else, a cavalry came from his horse and caught his attention.

Zepes walked a few steps to meet the cavalry, while Sophia's gaze turned behind him.

"Adult, news from Zagreb!" The cavalry ran up to report to Cepes.

Why can I know? Because I know what kind of eyes the person who really loves me will look at me.

Sophia was thinking about her own things, so she didn't notice the next words of the cavalry who reported earlier.

Zagreb, Montina, and Alexander Juliant Gumbre ...
