As dawn arrived the city was lacking its liveliness. Soldiers here and there run forth carrying weapons, supplies, and etc.
How the mortal realm suffers for its survival. Life is not deemed worthy in times of war. Mothers are saying goodbyes to their children. Fathers are burying there sons. What more pain and anguish must these people experience for it to stop?
Alberto: Everyone man the defenses!
The men’s bravery… I’ve seen them. Their eyes shine like blazing fire. Their will to fight boils my blood for slaughter. The spare siege equipment inside the walls were position in all three walls except the southern wall. I had no time to prepare for my cheap tricks. So this will be a fight that contains no modern equipment.
While waiting for the enemy I heard a sudden blow from the horn near the eastern gates. I though it was the enemy but when I saw there flag I was surprised because the kingdom of Hungary has sent their troops.
King Coloman was supposedly sending his troops to the Christian Army but due to the distance of Galacia his son Stephen decided to first help the city of Cordoba and with the help of the Sultan try to do a pincer attack to the invaders troops near Portugal.
With 10,000 defenders now further bolstered with 15,000 troops by the future King Stephen the cities defenses was further enhanced.
Prince Stephen requested to meat the cities leading defense commander. When the princess met with the prince of Hungary some unexpected occurrence happened the prince does not know the language of the Muslims so I volunteered myself to translate for him.
Prince Stephen: [Milady miért van az, hogy te vezeted a védekezéssel a városban? Vajon az apja a szultán tud erről?] Milady why is it that you lead the defenses of the city? Does your father the Sultan know about this?
Aayesah: [A tisztelt herceg igazság nem igazán vagyok a vezetője a védelem a város. Ez számít Alberto a Szent Római Birodalom, aki vezeti a védelem.] Your honored prince in truth I’m not really the leader of the defense of the city. It is count Alberto of the Holy Roman Empire who’s leading the defense.
Prince Stephen: [Akkor is találkozom ez a szám?] Then can I meet this count?
Alberto: [Bocsásson meg, felség vagyok számolni Alberto hűbérese a római császár] Pardon me your majesty I’m count Alberto vassal of the Holy Roman Emperor
Prince Stephen: [Aztán anélkül, hogy további több értelmetlen átadási nekem a hatóság vezető városok védelmi!] Then without further more nonsense surrender to me the authority of leading the cities defense!
What is this idiot saying? Is he expecting me to just hand the authority over like that? Oh now I remember this guy is quite an idiot in the original history too huh? As far as I can remember when he was crowned king in Székesfehérvár within thirty days of his father's death. His peaceful succession showed the effectiveness of the measures Coloman had implemented to prevent Álmos from usurping the throne. Upon his councilor’s advice, Stephen initiated a meeting with Vladislaus I, Duke of Bohemia, in order to improve the countries' relations, which had deteriorated in the previous decade. The two monarchs met on the river Olšava, which marked the border of their realms. However, the lack of mutual confidence hindered the opening of negotiations, leading to armed conflicts which evolved into a battle on 13 May. On the battlefield, the Bohemian army inflicted a serious defeat on Stephen's troops. The contemporaneous Cosmas of Prague blamed the young king's advisors for the fiasco, but later medieval Hungarian chronicles — all completed under kings descending from Stephen's opponent, Álmos — wrote that the king acted without consulting his advisors "... for he was of an impetuous nature"
The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement.
Added to that according to Cosmas of Prague the Hungarian people are prodigious in energy, mighty in strength, and very powerful in military arms—sufficient to fight with a king of lands anywhere. After the death of their king, Coloman, their princes was sent to Duke Vladislav to renew and confirm with the new king, named Stephen, their ancient peace and friendship. ... Vladislav came to the River Olšava, which separates the realms of Hungary and Moravia. Immediately, the Hungarian people, innumerable as the sands or drops of rain, covered the whole surface of the land in the field of Lučsko, like locusts. ... But, as scripture says, "Woe to the land whose king is a child." Their princes, through their inborn pride in themselves, strayed from the duke's peaceful words and sent replies more to stir up strife than to bring the kiss of peace.
So it’s quite evident that he’s an idiot well not that much but more of a fool maybe. While trying to think of ways to reject his proposal Aayesah suddenly retorted in anger. I still translated it though…
Aayesah: Prince! This act is unacceptable! Why are you requesting the authority that my only my father could grant?! [Herceg! Ez a törvény elfogadhatatlan! Miért van szüksége a hatóságnak, hogy én csak apám nyújthatna ?!]
Prince Stephen: [Hm! Ha nem ért egyet, hogy a javaslatom, akkor azt fogja húzni a katonáim vissza és hagyja, hogy megvédje a várost magatokat!] Hmph! If you won’t agree to my proposal then I will pull my troops back and let you defend the city by yourselves!
Alberto: [Felség ez a törvény elég aljas nem gondolja? Nem a más államok és királyságok gondolom rosszul a becstelen akciók? Szedhető a következménye, amely miatt, mert a önzés? Hagyta meghalni ezer kedvéért dicsőség?] Your highness this act is quite despicable don’t you think? Won’t the other states and kingdoms think badly of your dishonorable actions? Can you take the consequence that might result because of your selfishness? Letting thousands die for the sake of glory?
Prince Stephen: [Te rohadék Csinálok fizetni ezt a megaláztatást Hm! Elmegyek most!] Tsk! You bastard I’ll make you pay for this humiliation hmph! I’ll be leaving now!
Alberto: Wait your highness what about the defense?! [Várjon felség, amit a védelmi ?!]
Prince Stephen: I’ll defend the eastern wall. You defend the rest yourselves! [Majd megvédeni a keleti falon. Megvédeni a többit magatok!]
Alberto: But your highness! [De felség!]
He left just like that. After stirring up some trouble he does not even bother to fix what he broke… Sigh now I need to defend from the outside and inside at the some time. This idiot prince might do some stupid along the way and I must prevent that. I hope everything goes well…
Prince Stephen POV
That bastard from the Empire refusing my order! Just he wait I’ll really make him pay ten times the humiliation. But I must say the daughter of the infidel is quite beautiful it wouldn’t be bad if I bed her right? Well I won’t really for myself into her but if I can persuade her to convert then maybe father will approve of me asking for her hand. Speaking of father, father is quite ill already and that hound of an uncle of mine scheming behind his back. I must quickly gather some achievements and stabilize my position as crown prince to prevent further mishap.
I’m quite glad that my brother is supporting me on my quest for the thrown so I won’t touch him just yet. I hope everything goes well I suppose.
