No matter which country the nobles have one common characteristic, that is, they have many relatives.

If someone has nothing to do to create a diagram of aristocratic genealogy, he will be surprised to find that such a relationship, at least in Europe, not only runs through ancient and modern times, but also connects the world.

Sometimes it is difficult to tell which generation one family has become in-laws from. What is even more difficult is that sometimes it is impossible to distinguish between which generation these relatives are confused.

For example, Joanna, as the short-lived Ferdinand's wife, was the queen of Naples, but with Ferdinand's death, if she remarried, she would have no power to claim the throne of Naples, but this is just from the perspective of her armor-breaking perspective.

If we talk about Joanna herself, because she is also a descendant of Aragon, she is also called Joanna of Aragon, in terms of her seniority, she is even a husband and aunt who is a few years older than her. In this way, even if she only claims the throne of Naples, she has full legitimate power.

This is one of the reasons why so many people still miss a widow with a dead husband.

This kind of relationship with a slightly chaotic circle is not only common throughout Italy, but is even regarded as a symbol of whether a family has a sufficiently proud history and an admirable status.

So when Constantine said that she was still a cousin with Alexander, Alexander did not think he had told lies, but he was a little suspicious of how far this cousin had expressed.

And because of this, relative relationships are very common, they are not so valued. So what Alexander really cares about is what Modillo wrote in his letter to the Rovere family.

Seeing that Constantine didn't mind, Alexander called the envelope. He first looked at Modillo's signature below, and then he began to read the letter seriously.

Alexander was not familiar with Modillo's handwriting, or even if he was familiar with him, he did not think he had the ability to distinguish between true and false. However, from this letter, he gradually realized that this should be indeed the original work of Modillo, because in the letter, Modillo specifically mentioned one or two things that only two of them knew. It was obvious that Modillo wrote these in the letter not for the Rovere family, but to reassure him.

The Count was very cautious and did not say anything in the letter that might arouse suspicion. Apart from saying a few things about himself, was it just to recall the long-standing friendship and kinship between the two families? Even if such letters that are purely connected with each other fell into the hands of irrelevant or even enemies, it would not be so easy to find a reason to attack them from it.

The only thing that may arouse suspicion is that both families have some relationship with the French, especially the Lovere family, who are famous traitors leading the way.

Only at the end of the letter did Modilo mention his "poor nephew" to the people of the Lovere family in a very attentive tone, saying that he had been drifting away for various reasons, which had long become a heart-wrenching problem for his sister George Anne.

Fortunately, he finally found this "poor child". Now he has to help him take care of a very important business, so if he can help him get help from his cousins ​​of the Rovere family in Rome.

"So I said, we are cousins," Constantine looked at Alexander after reading the letter. "Let me think about it. It seems that this relative was discussed from my mother. One of her cousins ​​seemed to be brother-in-law with your uncle. This is his first wife. As for the second wife's family, it seems that they are a little far from our family, so I won't mention it."

Alexander really wanted to shout, "What kind of cousin is this?"

But he also knew that the purpose of Constantine saying this was just to make it clear that they were "people of themselves".

And Alexander could also guess that the fact that people have worked so hard to explain these relationships is not really just for the purpose of recognizing their relatives.

"So, is the business you did for the count this time going well?" Constantine suddenly asked, and his eyes became very vivid.

Alexander looked at Constantine with a slight sense of enlightenment. By this time he had already seen what Constantine really cared about.

It was obvious that Modillo was not really at ease with him transporting food to the north this time, so he wrote a letter to the people of the Rovere family in Rome. Although he might not have guessed that Juliano de la Rovere himself and his son would suddenly return to Rome at this time, it was obvious that as long as the other tribes of the Rovere family in Rome received the letter, they would come to contact Alexander.

"I'm worried about this matter if it doesn't go well."

Thinking of this, Alexander decided not to hide it anymore. Speaking of which, he was also worried about how to deliver the food left outside the city to the French. Although he had seen the generals who occupied Rome, De Charleon obviously had no good feelings for him. Not to mention whether he could make a profit from his hands, the French would probably think that his food was poisonous.

In addition, the news from Lombardy also made Alexander feel that even if it could provide enough supplies for the Roman Frenchmen to spend the winter at this time, it would be meaningless. After all, as long as the main force of the French army was defeated, the Roman Frenchmen naturally surrendered without fighting.

"It's not going well," Constantine sighed slightly with emotion. He obviously understood the meaning of Alexander's speech. After watching Alexander hesitate for a while, he whispered in a slightly tentative tone, "If that food can be delivered to Lombardy..."

"That's impossible," Alexander even interrupted Constantine with some rudeness. "The coalition has surrounded the French. Who can send them food at this time?"

"But if the French fail, it will not do any good for us all, right?" Seeing Alexander make the words clear, Constantine became simply "The people of the Bogia family are preparing to watch us Loville be in trouble, and as far as I know, Frederick of Naples and your Modillo family are not very good."

Seeing Alexander feel helpless when he heard this, Constantine was secretly happy, and then he continued: "Maybe we have other ways, and after all, this is the French business, and they are always more anxious, so I think it might be better to leave these things to the French."

Alexander showed contemplation on his face, as if he was thinking about the purpose of Constantine's words, but a thought flashed through his mind: It was true.

When Constantine revealed his interest in the food that Alexander brought, Alexander was wondering what he was going to do.

It is obvious that Constantine was commissioned by the French to join his food transport team, but he should also be very clear that such a risky thing would not be easily promised by Alexander.

It seems that the French who were trapped in the outskirts of Piedmont were in a situation where they were out of ammunition and food, otherwise they would not have asked the Lovere family for help directly.

After all, even though you are the leader, you can't do too much in order to be able to stand sideways at the high position of the cardinal.

But now the French seem to have to help the Lovere family at all costs.

However, the people of the Lovelle family obviously did not want to ruin their great future in Rome because of the French, so their only way was to let the French find a way to transport the food to Lombardy.

This made Alexander feel that he was secretly in line with his wishes. As for Rome, he was now concerned about how to take the opportunity to make a difference in this city. As for the food, it became a big and small burden.

Moreover, as the situation changed, Alexander began to doubt whether Modillo would still insist on helping them secretly if he knew the current situation of the French.

After all, the situation for the French is too bad now, and no one is willing to do the business that they can also invest in.

But if you want to throw the food to the French here, you will inevitably suffer some losses. Even if you think so, you must take the initiative to propose it first.

"Do you have such a candidate that can make us contact the French without being suspicious?" Alexander showed a hesitant look. "You must know that this batch of food is too important. The Earl attaches great importance to this matter. If I messed up the matter, the Earl would not care whether I was his nephew."

"Of course there is a suitable person, and it's someone you're familiar with," Constantine lowered her voice a little. "Do you think Teacher Fitch is suitable for this middleman?"

Alexander was a little surprised. He didn't expect Constantine to mention the famous Master Fitch.

In his impression, even though he became the most memorable president in the history of the founding of the University of Paris many years later, this scholar who had a profound influence in art and philosophy for the French, he had no relationship with short-selling brokers or spies who provoked turmoil everywhere.

But this man did these things. He almost turned Palermo down in Sicily because of a bloody night, and then he actually started a speculative short-selling business in Rome.

And when he saw Constantine's suggestion, walking out of a room in the villa, with the familiar smile still hanging on his face, Alexander felt relieved.

Thinking about it, even Michelangelo, who is destined to be great in the future, can be grateful to him for the 30 Florins he provides, and it seems that it will be nothing more to do business for the future president of the University of Paris.

And he also believed that Philippe should have been so troublesome to make a fortune from the French army.

Sure enough, Feiche quickly told Alexander with apology, but he was very clear about his attitude: "I'm sorry, we don't have money."

"I am able to provide the amount of bread to nearly 30,000 troops, forgive me for not being able to pay you such a huge fee."

Even though he said so, Feiche had no intention of being embarrassed about his embarrassment. He even had a smile on his wrinkled face, and his expression seemed to be like he was holding a good deck that others didn't have.

"So respectful master, what are you going to pay this amount?" Alexander asked calmly. He played a real businessman at this time, so even if the Duke of Orleans or simply Charles VIII standing in front of him, he would bargain without any scruples.

Alexander even thought to himself that if Charles VIII was in front of him, given his bad deeds of not keeping his word before, he might have to pay first and then pick up the goods.

"I promise you in the name of the king." Feiche said with a smile. His expression was kind and sincere, which easily made people feel trustworthy. At least Alexander felt that the master was indeed sincere and unprepared to pay the debt when he said these words.

But Charlie's reputation is so bad!

"Sorry, Master, I can feel your sincerity, and I believe that with your virtue, it is impossible to do anything that will damage your conscience and contract. However," Alexander shook his head firmly, "Please forgive me for not believing in your king. After all, the experience of Sforza in Milan made us all know very well that your monarch is not a person who can be trusted. Please forgive my rudeness, but King Charles really cannot trust."

Constantine looked at Alexander in surprise. He really wanted to yell at this time, and asked Alexander: "Are you crazy? How dare you question the King of France like this?"

Even Feiche, who always had a smile on his face, was a little surprised. He did not expect the young man in front of him to comment on a monarch in person without any scruples.

However, Alexander obviously didn't care about their eyes, because only he knew that Charles VIII, who was in his prime, looked so blessed and long, hadn't been able to live long for long. At most, only one and a half years later, the French king, who was ambitious to make the whole of Italy regarded as a disaster, was about to see God.

So even if he publicly questioned that person's character so much, Charlie would not be able to do anything to him.

As long as he is not doing anything for the past or two years, he will go to France to seek death without any trouble, will he mobilize people from all over Italy to assassinate him after being scolded a few times?

You should know that your Agri is also a lot of big and small, and although he has a lot of money, if you make careful calculations, you will still be very tight at hand.

You must not be content with a small wealth. You must be able to live a life. Alexander repeatedly reminds himself.

Thinking of this, Alexander became more convinced.

"Or you can find Jews in the city of Rome, who are certainly willing to make a loan for you."

When Alexander made his suggestion "passionate", Fitch had already woken up from the initial accident. He looked at Alexander with a slightly interesting look. After thinking about it, he smiled and said:

"What if I guarantee that I am with the reputation of the Duke of Orleans? I promise that I will never default on the payment you deserve, and that we can pay you sufficient interest. You mentioned the Jews just now, we all know that they are usury people, and I believe that we all know how Dante described the miserable appearance of these usury people in hell. I can guarantee that you can get interest that is no lower than that of the Jews, but this is definitely not usury, but what you deserve. In addition," Feiche's eyes showed a deep meaning. "In addition, I can also guarantee that you can get friendship from the Duke of Orleans. Given your previous 'communication' with the Duke, I think this friendship may become very important to you in the future."
