Barendi sat in the dome, her head against the high back of the chair, her hands on the armrests of the chair, and her eyes slowly swept through the dome.

The dome room is not big, and it is filled with various works of art, books, documents, and a few heavy furniture, which makes it look a little crowded.

Fortunately, the roof of the dome is very high, so high that the deepest part of the round arched roof is almost impossible to see clearly because the light is very dark.

A large bookshelves standing against the wall are filled with various maps, manuscripts, important copy of orders and related records.

However, the most important part of this dome is the secret secret of the device, which contains Alexander's combat training orders and the decoding index of the correspondence letters with Barenti.

Now Barendi was reading a letter in her hand. This was already what she had interpreted herself, but she seemed to have seen Alexander's handwriting.

"I never thought that one day I would leave you for so long, which made me miss you more than ever. And now I have a desire to have a child with you so strongly. This is not only because I want to have a legal heir, but also because I want to repay everything you have done for me..."

Looking at the contents of the letter, Barendi's lips gently raised up. She looked up again at the stuffed dome room. The room was so messy that it was surrounded by a huge desk, and all the walls around it were filled with all kinds of things, so that no corner was empty.

But Barendi liked this room very much, not only because this room is not only small but also very messy, but actually represents the location of the highest power of the Principality of Roman Thesia, but also because it is her love nest with Alexander.

This is also the proudest thing about Barendi.

Among all the women in Alexander, she had the experience of embracing him intimately here, at the feet of the place where she is now sitting, in front of the burning fire, on the warm skins spread on the ground, and even on the huge desk of Alexander that has handled countless important military affairs, they were frantically intimate, asking for joy from each other again and again.

Only Alexander knew what was fascinating to him under Barenti's ordinary appearance.

In this Romanesian Principality, perhaps the highest power of the future kingdom, enjoying the crazy and exciting joy has become a "privilege" that Barenti has.

Thinking of this, Barendi couldn't help laughing, but she thought about it carefully and then sighed softly.

Alexander said it right. They have been separated for a long time. The most important thing is that as time goes by, Alexander's identity is also undergoing amazing changes.

"Will I become a queen?"

Whenever I think of this, Barendi feels unreality as if it is another lifetime.

Who would have thought that the marriage that was formed just to win over the Earl of Modillo of Naples has become like this now.

When she thought that she would one day become the queen of a powerful kingdom, Barenti was nervous because of her concern. She had many opponents, and each of them was not a good-looking lamp.

Even the one who looks a little stupid, Lucrezia can't resist the woman's favor.

As for the other two women, Barenti was unwilling to think about them.

One is a barbaric woman who had lived and died with Alexander and was almost braver as she became more and more frustrated, and the other is a sister who could not threaten her position but was unable to do anything about her.

Barenti felt that her opponent was born against her.

Fortunately, the title of Duchess of Rometheia finally fell on her, and as the regency of the Principality, Barenti believed that she could give Alexander more help than any other woman except Rusha.

She was not self-righteous, and Alexander's praise for her in the letter made Barenti very happy.

"I never thought you would be so helpful to me. When I decided to replace me with the Regent Principality, I believe you can help me stabilize the country during the period away from Roman Thesia, but your intelligence reminded me again and again that I still underestimated you, my wife and queen."

Seeing this title, Barendi's heart thumped. She clearly felt Alexander's unconcealed ambitions, and at the same time she was secretly excited that she could really have such a status one day.

Old Rovery once hinted that if Alexander really wore a crown, he might be dissatisfied with his marriage. After all, at that time, he not only needed to consider the country, but even in terms of having a wife who matched his identity, Barendi was not very qualified to become a queen.

This is also the reason why Barenti has been uneasy during this period.

Now seeing the title in Alexander's letter, the clouds that had been suppressing their hearts instantly dissipated. Barenti sat in the chair for a moment, and even felt exhausted because of being too relaxed.

“But before we wish for the future, it is necessary to minimize the threats our kingdom faces, so we think it is necessary to plan for the rest.”

Barenti looked at the letter word by word, and she knew that Alexander liked to incorporate some content that made her blush and heartbeat into such important letters, but once something serious was said, it might be the key to determining everyone's future destiny.

"We must make the Venetians understand again that their position in this war must be pragmatic and positive, not to become an instability factor in regional security," said Barenti, who saw this, circled the sentence with a quill pen.

"I think our army has begun the Battle of Po by this time. If everything goes well, we have successfully established a buffer between Venice and Lombardy."

Barenti couldn't help but nodded, and then she realized that Alexander was not around.

"We must make the Venetians clearly realize that they must accept our arrangements in Lombardy affairs. I believe that now everyone should understand that our goal is Venice, which is why the Battle of Pohe is launched. We must use powerful force to deter Venice, and when necessary, we must coerce them to accept the fact that the occupied Veneto region is a long-term buffer zone between the two sides."

Barenti smiled, and her face, which was at most pretty, was filled with a hint of pride.

Barenti was always arrogant. Because she did not have a remarkable beauty, she used unremitting efforts to prove her talents.

Whether it was for the Rovere family, Montina before and Rometheia now, she made everyone gradually understand that she was an indispensable assistant to Alexander.

Over the years, Barenti used facts to establish her value as the Earl's fiancée and Duchess. When Alexander was not in the country, she not only became the Regent, but also the implementer of his strategic deployment.

While competing for Lombardy, it also has to covet the land of Veneto. This is a plan that no one even dares to be crazy will not think of, let alone put this plan into practice.

But Alexander was planning this plan when Louis XII first invaded Lombardy.

For this reason, he spent nearly two years making various preparations.

He established various fortifications of all sizes on the border between Montina and Venice, and also built a very practical simple road network. Then, after he showed signs of winning the war, he immediately proposed the "Genoa-Palma-Po River Line".

The purpose of all this is not for Lombardy, but for Veneto.

This plan is huge, complex and long. From 1500 to the present, not many people know the true intention of this plan, Barendi and him step by step made this plan from a fantasy on paper into reality.

Alexander's real goal was never Lombardy!

At least in the current situation, it is best for his interests to use Lombardy to firmly restrain the French and Austrians in Northern Italy.

Although it was really an attractive idea to play Italy's unity nearly three centuries ahead of schedule, Alexander knew very well that this idea was unrealistic now.

Whether it was Caesar or the later Rovery Old, they had dreamed of unifying Italy.

Caesar ended up losing his life inexplicably, and Old Rovery seemed so close to realizing this ambition, but in the end he could not see the unification of Italy until he went to see God.

This does not mean that these two people do not have the ability to achieve unity, but that their opponents are so strong that even Alexander now must be cautious.

Neither France nor Austria, they would tolerate a unified Italian kingdom appearing around them.

For this, this feud can even temporarily unite together to deal with the enemies who want to challenge them.

Especially now, although it is no longer as good as before, the Vatican is majestic, so a completely unified Italian kingdom with the Vatican Church is too unbearable for all parties.

So Alexander was even considering whether the era of Great Schizophrenia should come as soon as possible in advance. Although Martin Luther was no longer there, this was not a problem for him.

But now his goal is Veneto.

After attacking Venice, invading Veneto, and after occupying a piece of land adjacent to Roman Thesia, it quickly established a nominal connection between the Venetians and Lombardy, which was actually a buffer zone for a long-term occupation, the Principality of Roman Thesia could begin the next step of action.

In this way, the fortifications and roads that Montina had established earlier with the Venice region really played a role.

When the east and west legions launched an attack on Venice at the same time, the materials that had been mobilized to the border areas of the two sides in the northeast to resist the possible invasion of the Venetians began to play an important role.

Whether it is food, money, weapons or medicine tents, these materials that were originally purely used for defense in the eyes of the Venetians instantly became guarantees of invasion.

Behind the convoys that are constantly transported to the front line are meticulous plans and huge financial support.

And it was Barenti who made all this happen.

"Crazy Alexander."

Barendi whispered to herself, and she felt that although it seemed a bit rude to evaluate her husband like this, it was very appropriate, because only such a word was the most appropriate.

Crazy is not all about irrationality, but about doing things that seem almost impossible to succeed in others.

But once you succeed, the benefits you can get from doing this will be huge enough to make people dazzle.

Or because this benefit is too great, I can't eat it for a while.

At least Barendi is facing this situation now.

This time, Roman Thesia's action was too bold and suddenly, completely beyond the Venetians' expectations, so that they not only captured Padua, but their forward even reached the entrance of Venice on the land, Mesterre!

This can actually be said to be at the city. If the city of Venice was not located on an island surrounded by water, perhaps the Romanesian siege cannons had already begun to speak.

Such a result probably shocked the whole of Europe.

Thinking of this, Barendi couldn't help but smile proudly.

It was just that the Romanesian army occupied too much and too quickly, which made their heels in the land of Veneto unstable.

Barenti held Alexander's letter in one hand and held his cheek in the other, and his eyes kept on a map on the table.

Then she stretched out her finger and tapped a place called Rovigo on the map, and then drew a circle that was not big or small with the place as the center.

Barenti knew Rovigo because Constantine had shown her a few years ago that he defeated a famous swordsman from the Venetian Sword Sect in that place.

Apart from this, her only impression of Rovigo was that this is an important port inland of the Adige River.

Once occupied, it means that the entire rich Po River Plain lower reaches is completely under the control of the Romansians.

"I don't want much, the Po River Delta is enough to stop me."

This is what Alexander said in the letter, and Barenti copied this sentence without any change in the letter to Leonardo Rollet, Governor of Venice.

On the border between the two sides, which was originally lined by the Po River, the Romanesian army once advanced to the city of Venice after defeating the Venetian army commanded by Barbarig, through continuous attacks.

Then the Duchess of Rometheia called for a ceasefire to the Venetians in the name of the regent of the Principality.

However, Barendi clearly stated in his heart that the condition for retreating was that the Venetians had to ced all territories north of the Po River to south of the Adige River.

These include three cities and ports, including the city of Rovigo on the Adige River.

When the letter was delivered to Venice, the city of Venice was in an uproar.

Alexander's true intentions were finally revealed to people.

And on the same day that Barenti's letter was delivered to Venice, in the castle in the Loire Valley, Louis XII ordered the summoning of the Moorish people who were already famous in his court,

"I don't care why you must stay here, but I can't go and tell your master that I have ordered the occupation of Milan."

The Dharma King, who was busy with work, said a few words without raising his head and then sent Uriu out.

But the Moors were not angry at Louis's arrogance and irrationality.

As soon as he left the king's room, he couldn't wait to return to his residence to pack his things.
