Although it was still during the "national mourning", Naples did not seem to have much awareness of reducing their entertainment activities.

Except for the royal palace and the noble court that raised the solemn and sad flags, the other places are still filled with lights and wine singing and dancing.

Maybe the days were too depressed when they were occupied by the French, and the Naples seized all the time to make themselves happy, or maybe they were afraid that this happiness would disappear too quickly, and everyone devoted themselves as much as possible to the catharsis that seemed to release everything.

Mahimo lived a very comfortable life during this period. He is now a small celebrity, especially in the church. Some pastors and priests who had never even seen each other before, or were afraid of being exposed, can now chat and laugh with them. By temporarily rummaging through the boring Bible and his clever mind, when he discussed a doctrine with some priests, sometimes he could make others sigh at his level of knowledge. Then people would even talk about his protector who is now famous in Naples.

Of course, a reputation often means trouble. At least everyone knows that Frederick doesn't like that Gombrey, and his reputation is somewhat related to something less serious.

At the home of a famous socialite, he fought with the National People's Congress, and the nephew of Gonzalo, the rescuer of Naples. Many people began to think about this. They didn't know how long that Gonzalo could stay in Naples. He would soon have to escape back to his Agri with his tail between his legs. However, if he really angered that Gonzalo, he would probably not be able to save Agri for long.

These kinds of arguments and rumors are everywhere in the city of Naples, and naturally they will not be spared, such as the lookout post, which specifically relies on circulating various gossips as a way to relieve boredom.

So when Maximo walked into the lookout whistle, he did not receive the usual cheers like a hero who greeted the triumphant, but saw a look full of doubts and gloating.

Before, Maximo liked to come to the lookout whistle very much. In addition to the special service of the tavern owner's sister, he was worshipped and respected like a king here. Although he was very satisfied to pay for the money in his pocket of this small vanity.

But today's atmosphere made Ma Ximo unhappy, and this was not the first time he had encountered such a look. He had been rolling his eyes these days, and even the priests who were good with him began to avoid him.

"People of power." Ma Ximo muttered to himself. He was not so arrogant now, so he didn't yell immediately. But when he sat at a table, he saw several people at the same table leaving on excuses, and Ma Ximo's face sank.

Fortunately, the tavern owner's family had a pretty good attitude towards him, especially the boss's sister. She seemed to feel that Maximo was a little depressed, so she simply didn't even let him drink wine, and directly pulled him to the second floor.

After a slap that he lets him vent, Maximo leaned on the bed while drinking the wine the tavern owner had just brought, while saying to the big guy sitting on the stool opposite: "Bar, what else do you hesitate after I said so much? Are you just holding such a broken tavern for the rest of your life?"

"The lookout is my ancestral property, not a broken tavern," the owner of the tavern muttered dissatisfiedly, and then whispered a sip of wine. "I can't leave this place, I didn't even leave when the French came."

As he said that, the tavern owner looked at his sister who was sitting on the bed, covering most of her body with only a blanket, and pointed at Maximo in annoyance: "But you, what should I do if my sister does in the future? What if that Gumbrey is really killed by Gonzalo, do you still want to be your fake priest and cheat everywhere? What should I do if my sister?"

"What are you talking nonsense? You cursed the two Naples' rescuers all at once," Mahimo said deliberately in a puzzled tone. "Why do you all believe rumors? Who told you that those two adults will become enemies? Don't just listen to those rumors, and don't always think about making big rumors. This is... Forget it, you don't understand even if you say it."

After teaching my brother-in-law a lesson and finally venting the anger he had suffered before, Mahimo continued to return to the topic: "I said Barr, think about it carefully. Even if you are a tavern owner for the rest of your life, or even become the largest tavern owner in Naples, what's the point? Or do you think you have the ability of the Metic family to become Metic in Naples?"

The tavern owner asked Ma Ximo to say something a little bit unanswered. Of course, he knew that Ma Ximo's words were also good, but the lookout was always hard to give up his ancestral property, not to mention that even if he wanted to do something else, he shouldn't go to that Gongbray.

Now he is in big trouble.

"Mashimo, please listen to your advice," said the tavern owner to his cheap brother-in-law. "Leave that Gampray early, he is in trouble now. When Gonzalo comes back, he will be in trouble. If you follow him, I don't want to see my sister sad."

Maximo shook his head a little annoyed. He knew that the tavern owner was a stubborn person, and he had taken advantage of him by understanding this person's habit, but now he found that people who were too stubborn were really annoying.

"Don't worry, my master won't let Gonzalo knock it down so easily. Don't forget that he is Gonzalo's Gonzalo's Gonzalo." Mahimo said angrily, but he didn't even notice that when he said Gonzalo's name, his hand that was stroking the woman's thigh under the blanket trembled slightly.

Alexander, who was in big trouble, was taking Sophia on the mountain road in Naples at this time.

Naples in the golden autumn is beautiful, with dazzling flowers and trees everywhere, and it seems that the entire city is surrounded by colorful colors.

Few people will deliberately cultivate flowers and trees in this era, but this does not seem to affect the city's splendor of autumn. The city by the Mediterranean Sea is so beautiful. The golden autumn outfit that Mount Vesuvius has already worn in the distance makes this beautiful scenery even more intoxicating.

Sophia's toes kept jumping on the stone pavement. She jumped from one stone to another, then turned her head to look at Alexander who had been smiling at her behind.

In a few days, Sophia seemed to have gradually become accustomed to her current life. At least she no longer always pulls Alexander's clothes and refuses to let go, and she smiles more and more. Even today, Alexander had to coax her and deceive her to untie the short crossbow from her arm because she wanted to change her long skirt. Although she encountered some trouble, Sophia still obediently untie the belt tied to her arm.

However, when Alexander wanted to keep the short crossbow at home, he was strongly opposed by Sophia. She insisted that she must take the short crossbow before she was willing to go out, and she asked Alexander herself to hold the short crossbow for her, not the servant.

Alexander had no choice but to add a short cloak to the outer cover to cover the short crossbow hanging on the belt behind him, and with the musket that never leaves him, Alexander felt that he was not going outing with his lover on an outing, but was inspecting in an armed manner.

Of course, Alexander was not so arrogant that he thought that the entire city of Naples was a territory he had the right to inspect, especially when he met those who had deliberately talked to him along the way, and now he tried his best to avoid his nobles. This made Alexander feel that this seemingly beautiful city actually had a more cruel and ruthless side.

The Naples are actually very realistic, at least most of their nobles are like this. This can be seen from the fact that the French conquered the city so easily, and the Naples royal family regained respect so easily. It would be not easy to find such a city in Italy. Even in Venice, which is known for its smell of copper, those merchants will burst out with unimaginable enthusiasm and persistence purely for the pursuit of money.

"Sophia," Alexander, who saw Sophia standing by a low wall, looked at the port below, was ecstatic, afraid that she would think of something bad, walked over and gently took her shoulder. "The wind is too strong here, let's go somewhere else."

"Ah~" Sophia spread her arms and tried to spread her arms to both sides, then pointed to the bottom, and continued the movement.

Alexander was stunned for a moment before he understood what she meant.

"Yes, this pier is very big," Alexander said with ease. "But Sophia, isn't it better for us to go to the mountain to play, and I'll tell you something."

Alexander decided to tell Sophia about seeing Nashan. He didn't say it before because he was worried that too many accidents might stimulate Sophia, who was still unstable. Now seeing that she seemed to have recovered slowly, Alexander felt that it was time to tell her.

And according to those Bohemians, Nashan will probably come to Naples recently, and no one knows where he has gone before.

But Sophia seemed not very interested in climbing. She was always looking at the busy pier below with interest. Suddenly, she pointed to a road leading to the pier in the distance and sighed quite surprised.

Alexander followed her gaze and saw a rather huge convoy coming slowly.

Because he was getting closer, the slightly familiar figure of a man sitting in the front carriage attracted his attention.

A little bit of recognition, Alexander recognized it as James Columbus.

The food transport team from Agri arrived.

The 50,000 shefil wheat that was reached with James Columbus was not included in the food transported by Alexander for Naples, so James could only pick up the goods at Agri by himself with Alexander's hand-made warrant.

For the sale of 50,000 Shepherds for a few stallions and a Columbus diary that is difficult to distinguish between true and false, Alexander regarded it as an emotional investment in building mutual trust with Modillo.

However, Modillo's intention to rescue the French made Alexander feel worried.

After the Battle of Fordino, the French army was almost at the end of its power on the Italian Peninsula. Even Charlie himself threw the army to several generals, and then retreated back to his country and did not want to continue to struggle in this mud pond.

Even the most pessimistic people know that the days when the French were driven back to their hometown should not be too far away.

Even if the French were funded at this time, they would not be able to make any big waves, so Alexander knew that he did this just because of the request from "someone".

However, Alexander did not think that Modillo was the kind of person who would obey others' mercy in everything, so he was so active in joining and supporting the French, and he might not have no purpose for himself.

“Ah~”

Sophia pointed at the convoy and let out another cheerful shout. She gradually understood Alexander, who always had different heights and different meanings of "ah" sounds, and then she saw several grocery carriages in the convoy that seemed to be full of various goods, following the direction of her finger.

Because of the uneasy journey, grocery merchants are always willing to travel with large and protected convoys, and this kind of grocery truck is also very popular. Even in places like Naples, grocers with all kinds of weird goods from foreign countries are also popular guests.

"It's a grocer." Alexander smiled slightly, looking at Sophia's eagerness to try, he suddenly felt a teasing urge. He deliberately pretended to be careless and looked at the grocery carriages, then turned around to look at them ready to leave.

Sophia became impatient, and she grabbed a corner of Alexander's short cloak while staring at the slowly moving grocery, as if she was afraid that they would disappear in an instant.

"You're going to see those things?" Alexander asked, and when he saw Sophia nodded immediately, he frowned first, then pointed to his cheek.

Sophia immediately kissed him in the face, but Alexander was obviously not satisfied, and then it was the second and third...

On the cheeks, forehead, nose tip, and finally lips, the two gradually forgot why they did this, but instead indulged in the game of continuing to ask for and give after a gentle touch.

At some point, Alexander had slightly carried Sophia's body away from the ground. Looking at the girl in her arms who was also happy with the game, Alexander couldn't help but feel a strong warmth in his heart.

"Sophia, if I could, I would buy you everything you want, as long as you can be happy every day as you are now." Alexander whispered in Sophia's ear, "Do you still remember, when I left Sicily, I told you that one day I will let you go back with a more glorious identity, and then the Sicilians must submit to you. Sophia, I will fulfill this promise, and there will always be such a day."

Sophia looked at Alexander with confusion. She didn't understand much about what he meant, but being with Alexander was enough to make her happy.

James had already seen Alexander, but he was very clever and did not bother those two people.

So he didn't have time to tell Alexander something.

The grain transport team passed by slowly and continuously, and the grocery trucks had long disappeared.

The two people who were still immersed in the endless fun of it did not notice that one of the carriages stopped not far from them.

Maybe it was because I was always nervous and vigilant, or because of the sensitivity of a woman, the first thing I felt was Sophia.

She turned her head and saw a girl sitting in a carriage not far away.

The dazzling and shiny blonde hair shines brightly in the sun, and the lake blue eyes are clear and sharp. Even if you just sit, Sophia can detect the charm of the girl's long legs wrapped in a thin skirt.

And this is exactly what Sophia doesn't have.

Although according to the women in the tribe, Sophia has a big breast that not only can raise healthy children, but also satisfy men, which makes her very proud, but looking at the girl who is looking at them, Sophia feels a little inexplicable danger in her heart.

Just as the little beast in the forest was vigilant against natural enemies, Sophia couldn't help but hold Alexander tightly with both hands.

Alexander felt Sophia's change, and he immediately turned his head, and then saw Ruosha who was looking at them with a smile.

"It seems that you still know how to be ambitious," Ruosha smiled at Alexander, and her blue eyes turned around on the two of them. "At least I learned to raise a mistress so soon."

"ah?"

Sophia's expression changed, and her eyes quickly swayed between the two.

Looking at the proud sister, and then looking at her wife who was looking for a flying knife on her body, Alexander suddenly had a premonition.
