Isabella and Ferdinand's daughter Juana are known as "crazy Juana". In many later records about her, she is described as a crazy woman with a irritable, hysterical, and even a serious mental illness.

But in Alexander's opinion, Juana's only fault was that she loved the wrong person.

She was single-minded and extremely serious about Philip's love. The only thing she longed for was that Philip could love her like she did.

This request is not an exaggeration, but it has become a luxury for Juana.

Moreover, her dedicated relationship is not understood by others. People even think that she is making trouble or simply having a brain problem.

Her husband, parents, and everyone around her told her in a sure tone that she was wrong.

This refusal of her feelings echoed in her ears day after day, making Juana more and more suspicious.

But even so, she never doubted her feelings for Philip.

Juana is tragic, her tragedy lies in her identity and falling in love with someone who was not worthy of her feelings.

Looking at the young woman with a vigilant face in front of her, Alexander couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He knew how much harm he was doing to her, and at the same time, he knew that if this continued, her fate would be as miserable as in history.

But is there any other way he has? Juana is a very strong stumbling block in front of him. Whether from the legal perspective or from reality, Juana has become an obstacle that cannot be avoided because of her special status.

Emperor Maximian was an ambitious man who had bad luck in the first half of his life. He tried several times to form a strong alliance with his marriage but failed repeatedly. So in the end, he settled for the second best and pursued the marriage of his children in the second half of his life to establish a relatively stable blood dynasty.

Years of efforts have made Maximian come true, and the dynasty gradually established by the Habsburg family is slowly affecting the entire European continent.

He married his son Philip and Juana, so Alexander knew that even if Ferdinand did not later put Juana under house arrest and then controlled Castilla, Philip would firmly control his wife. After the short-lived Austrian prince died, his son Charles V would continue to imprison Juana in the castle until she finally left the world.

Juana is such a tragedy woman. Her whole life was used by her father, husband and son. They tortured her spirit and body mercilessly, and the only spiritual pillar she survived was her almost obsessed love for Philip.

"As I said, at least I can make the prince less painful."

Alexander promised so, and his words immediately made Juana feel relieved. Although she still looked a little suspicious, she obviously felt that this should be good news.

"I remember your Duke, I have seen you in Valladiote," because of Alexander's promise, Juana immediately became a fond of him. This unscheming attitude made Alexander feel ashamed. However, he knew that as long as Castilla's heir to the throne, Juana's life would be destined to be calm and unharmed. As long as Maximea sent people to Castilia more than once after Philip's death, he asked to publicly announce his grandson as soon as possible that he was the legal heir to Castilla, he could see how popular Juana was in their minds.

"Can I know what method you want to treat the prince's illness?" Juana asked with some concern. Since Philip fell ill, she had found many doctors, but no matter what method and how skilled the doctor was, she was at a loss for this terrible strange disease. This made Juana gradually lose hope. Now the duke suddenly told her that she could cure the prince's illness, which made Juana feel uneasy while she was happy.

"Maybe it will be a little painful, but at least it is better than now," Alexander followed Juana upstairs. When they arrived at the door of a room, they stopped and listened to the faint groan of pain coming from the room. Alexander whispered to Juana, "I can make the prince feel better, but what will happen next is up to you."

"What do you want me to do?" Juana was a little wary and longed for Alexander. The influence she had received over the years did not make her completely forget what she had learned because she put all her thoughts on her husband. She soon realized what the person obviously had put forward.

"You are in Toledo now, so the conditions for you are the noble parliament. I just need to calmly talk to them. As for the prince, you can rest assured that I will try to minimize his pain."

"Just just reduce pain?" A hint of disappointment flashed across Juana's face. "Those people, I mean the Toledo people promised to cure Philip's disease, because of this, I promised to come here with them. Now you tell me that he can only reduce pain. How can I trust you?"

Alexander did not answer, and his eyes looked at the closed door. He listened to Philip's painful voice coming from inside, and he looked at Juana silently again.

Juana's face showed despair. She was obviously frightened by the painful moan inside. She blocked her ears with both hands and shook her head helplessly, as if this would not have to face that terrible scene.

Alexander gently raised his hand and tentatively took Juana's hands away from her ears. Then he stretched out his hand and pushed open the door despite the shocked expression of the princess for this offense.

There is a large bed in the middle of the room, with thick curtains tightly surrounding the bed. There are many spices with pungent smells placed around the bed, but these precious spices cannot cover up the stench that still smells like people vomiting.

Alexander walked directly to the bed and lifted the curtain, and then saw the body that was no longer human.

Or it should be said that this is just a rotten body. The originally handsome and beautiful face is no longer visible. The liquid slowly flowed out from an ugly hole in the middle of the face flowed down the cheeks and onto the pillow. It was originally a tall and straight nose, but now nothing can be seen except a raised nose bone wrapped in rotten flesh in the middle.

"He looks very painful, as long as he can make him feel better," Huanna picked up a towel and carefully wiped off the abscesses flowing from Philip's face. Then she picked up a cup from the side and poured the water into her husband's scarred lips very carefully.

"Let my people take care of him, they know what to do, and all you have to do is to satisfy the Council."

Alexander clearly reminded Juana that when he saw Don Juliormando following behind, standing at the door, looking inside, Alexander signaled to him slightly.

Don Juliomando immediately walked in. He saluted Juana first, and then began to talk to her impatiently about everything he asked her to do.

During this period, Juana's eyes never left Philip on the bed, and she interrupted the chief veteran more than once, just to ask Alexander if she could cure the prince immediately.

Alexander asked his followers to come over to check Philip. This entourage who looked like a doctor was indeed a medical officer among the Balkans, but his skills mostly relied on amputation and burned red strips to stop bleeding. In his medical career, the limbs of patients he cut down were no less than those of his companions who had entered the red knife with the enemy on the battlefield.

However, this time, this medical officer didn't need to show his skills. He just had to stir some medicine powder and honey and purple onion juice that had been prepared before, and then pour it into the patient's mouth.

"What is that?" Juana was restless. The smell of the potion smelled very bad. She noticed that Philip, who was already very bad, suddenly became more rapid after taking the potion.

"It's normal for him to be like this now. He will sleep a little later."

Alexander blocked Juana, looked at Philip's body trembling slightly on the bed, and his calm expression was so obvious that it was completely impossible to tell that he was also very nervous.

In this era, there is no drug that can cure syphilis. Anyone who can survive actually only relies on their stronger body or stronger immunity than others. Although some doctors claimed to have found a way to cure this romantic disease many years later, syphilis was an incurable terminal illness until it was truly effective.

Alexander once wondered how Caesar survived after contracting this terrible disease, but when he discovered that Giovanni also had this chronic disease but eventually lost his life because of an assassination rather than a virus attack, he could only sigh that the people of the Porgias were really of excellent blood.

But Philip obviously did not have such a strong body, so after he was infected, the virus spread rapidly throughout his body. Alexander even remembered that some doctors who later recorded the prince's illness wrote: "We don't know what kind of disease this is, and we have never seen such a terrible look. So when we saw the princess kissing the prince's rotten sores, many people even vomited secretly."

However, Alexander knew that in this era, there are still some ways to temporarily delay the spread of syphilis in the human body. Although it cannot be completely cured and it is more harmful to patients, it is enough for them now.

Arsenic is a terrible poison, but in the early days, the ancients knew that taking very little amount of arsenic properly could effectively curb some evil symptoms.

In Europe, people used arsenic to treat people very early. Although nine out of ten people would die, with the rich experience of using arsenic dose, this not-so-reliable method sometimes plays a role.

Especially when there is no need to take into account the greater harm that may be caused to the patient later, the treatment of using trace amounts of arsenic plays a greater role.

This is the case now for Don Juliormando. He only needs Juana to cooperate well. As for Philip, for the Torledo nobles, this Austrian prince may be better off.

Looking at the pile of documents brought by the chief veteran, Juana hesitated for a short time and picked up the pen. She signed her name one by one, but during this period, her eyes never left her husband lying on the bed.

Using arsenic agents will cause some pain to the patient, which is why Alexander added a large number of calming drugs when preparing pharmaceutical powder.

The Balkan doctor didn't know what he was doing. He just needed to mix the potions together as the Duke's instructions, and then add some seasonings he thought he needed.

What surprised Juana was that she didn't know if she was an illusion, but she felt that her husband's face turned red after drinking the potion. Her skin, which seemed so terrible, seemed to have recovered a little vitality. This made her kneel on the ground and thank God for the gift. Then she stretched out her hands to Alexander and held her tightly to express her gratitude.

Looking at the joyful look of "coon", Alexander sighed secretly. He saw Don Juliormando impatiently making colors at him, knowing that he should have got what he wanted. Although the matter of letting Juana attend the coronation ceremony himself was not yet confirmed, the documents signed by her hand were enough to satisfy the Chief Elderly.

After leaving the Balkan doctor in the house, Alexander and Don Juliormando left Juana's residence together. Looking back at the small stone building that looked solid, Alexander suddenly sighed: "This is a poor woman, isn't it?"

"She is the princess of Castilia." Don Juriormando just glanced back and ignored it. He held the bags containing the authorized documents signed by Juana, and his excited expression appeared on his face. "We have mastered Juana, and next we can propose conditions to Barriordo with Don Bavi of Andalusia."

Speaking of this, the chief veteran quickly looked at Alexander. He suddenly felt that the previous noble parliament planned to support Enrique's daughter Juana alone, which probably made a mistake, which almost offended Alexander VI.

Fortunately, they quickly changed their minds and made up for the cracks with the pope. Now that they have mastered Juana and formed an alliance with Don Bavi. If they get the support of the pope and another Juana far away in Portugal, then the couple of Valriardoed will not be so terrible.

This idea made the chief veteran feel excited, and he couldn't wait to show their strong strength to Isabella immediately.

But at this moment, a news that overwhelmed the Toredo nobles suddenly broke their dreams.

Don Bavi suddenly announced his willingness to accept the negotiation proposals made by Queen Isabella, and he had sent several very powerful Andalusian nobles to Valliedo to negotiate.

This news was not just an accident for the Toredo nobles, but it was not an exaggeration to say it was a bolt from the blue.

Since the Andalusian nobles first formed a coalition and carried out a rebellion, the nobles of Toledo expressed their support for them, and the noble parliament was unconcealed on the side of the coalition, and some people directly publicly rebuked all this because of the Isabella couple's infringement of the conventional traditional aristocratic rights.

But suddenly, the Andalusians abandoned them, and then Don Bavi announced without warning that he would negotiate with Isabella. This change instantly shocked Don Juliormando, who had thought the situation was very good before, was stunned.

In fact, even Isabella never understood why Don Bavi chose to accept negotiations in a situation where such a situation was favorable to him. Although this was an inevitable result in the long run, Isabella vaguely felt that he would make this decision because something had to make such a change.

Of course Alexander knew what the reason for this change of Don Bavi.

Don Bavi should have known about Sister Alphth's disappearance. For him, no matter who robbed Sister Alphth, it means that they have discovered his purpose.

At the same time, Sister Alphot's disappearance also means that he has lost the biggest ace in his hand, which is undoubtedly a fatal blow to Donbavi.

Even if he does not consider marrying the nun in the future and then seeking the throne, is it just a bargaining chip that has the right to inherit Juana? It is enough to give Donbavi a huge initiative. He can bargain with Isabella with this, and he also believes that when Isabella knows the existence of Sister Alfter, he will inevitably have some concerns about him.

But now that this bargaining chip is gone, and he should also know how unwise it is to be an enemy of the queen with great prestige.

At least the Andalusian nobles never thought of overthrowing Isabella's rule. Now, because Donbavi lost the most important bargaining chip in his hand, he had to consider easing his relationship with Isabella.

"But this is not good for you, isn't it?" In the room of Gantt Palace, the pope who sent the servant away, asked Alexander. "If that Don Bavi surrenders, it will only make Isabella's reputation even higher."

"In fact, I have never considered the rebellion of Don Bavi, and you know that those Castile nobles will be my enemies in the future." Alexander said disapprovingly, "and why do you think the waterway between Sicily and Aragon was suddenly attacked by pirates at this time?"

Seeing the pope seemingly enlightened, Alexander nodded: "Your Majesty, there has never been any coincidence in the world. If so, it is just because no one has discovered the subtlety of it."

In October 1501, the Aragon fleet set out toward the northern shore of Africa.

Almost at the same time, Ruosha, who had just returned to Naples, received a secret letter from Iberia.

There is only a short sentence in the letter: "My dear sister, Sicily has opened her arms to you."
