Chapter 93 A proverb, a choice
A servant stood in the living room and looked at the young man opposite him curiously.
He knew that this should be the lord from Naples. He was very young and had a good appearance. According to the popular saying nowadays, this young man had a typical Greek god-like head. From the side, his carved outline was easily impressive, and his red hair looked so unique, but this appearance should be enough to arouse the covetousness of those noble ladies.
Especially compared with those Roman nobles who made themselves look dim or simply ruined their appearance because of overeating and greedy for women, this young man is jealous because of his surprising health.
This servant had seen too many nobles like that, and his desolate life had ruined most of them, and even the masters he served could not avoid making his body messed up because of this kind of inability to do so.
For example, Master Giovanni, the most expensive duke's body was actually very bad. If it weren't for his use of enough spices to cover the disgusting smell on his body every day, people might have known how much the price he paid for his greed for love.
And this young man is so healthy and full of vitality that even the servant in front of him feels inexplicably jealous.
Compared with the extravagant luxury everywhere in the city of Rome, this young man has a kind of jealous vitality.
But even so what? Even if the beautiful young man in front of him is about to be in trouble soon, at least after he offended the "bride of Christ", he is destined to be in trouble.
The servant was thinking so wildly, until he heard the young man say "Okay, I will go to the appointment as scheduled", he woke up and looked at the young man in front of him. The servant quickly saluted and said goodbye.
At the same time, in my heart, this servant of the Borgia family had sentenced the young man in front of him to death.
"You really want to go to that date?" Nashan looked at Alexander, for some reason, and he felt that some changes had occurred since Alexander returned to Rome, or that after he openly shot and killed Barry Farne at the gate of the Marino Palace, Alexander was a little different from before. "Don't you know that it might be a conspiracy, maybe they're just waiting for you and then clatter you." Nashan said, adding a throat-cutting gesture around his neck. "I heard that the family has a not that good reputation. Even in Bohemia, people are talking about the Vatican Pope and his family who look like a group of wolves, so if you have to go, I suggest you convince me to convince Sophia first."
"Didn't you give up?" Alexander soon knew Nashan's intentions. It was obvious that Nashan had never given up on the idea of taking Sophia away from the beginning, and now it seemed that this kind of thought was even stronger. "Why must Sophia be taken away?"
"This city is not safe. I think the Bohemian palace is more suitable for her. I said that the queen will definitely treat her well."
Nashan looked at Alexander and said with some slightest remarks that he did not intend to tell Alexander that Caesar seemed to be slapping his daughter at attention because he was worried that it would cause more trouble. And since Sophia's amazing "robbery" that night, Nashan suddenly understood a truth. If Sophia could not be taken away from the young man as soon as possible, perhaps one day these two people would do something for each other that scared everyone.
Think about how his daughter could loot the entire Roman city for this young man, so what would he do?
Even though he was as bold as Na Shan, he felt that it was a bit unsettling to let these two young people be together.
As for Caesar, Nashan never thought it was a good thing for him to fall in love with his daughter. Compared with Alexander, he did not want Sophia to have any relationship with the Bishop Valencia.
Because of this, Nashan felt that the best result would be to take his daughter out of Rome as soon as possible.
Alexander didn't know what Nashan was thinking, and he wouldn't agree that Nashan would take Sophia away like this, but at this time he focused on the letter sent by Giovanni Borgia just now.
Giovanni invited him to have a meal, and in the letter he clearly wrote the sentence "Please don't worry about any accidents. I know your current situation and concerns, so please come to the banquet with peace of mind. I can guarantee that you will never encounter any danger you can imagine."
"What do Giovanni want to do?" This was the first opposite after Alexander saw the letter. He knew that although Giovanni and Caesar were brothers, their relationship was obviously not as close as people thought. They even had to think that the Duke of Gandia would die inexplicably soon. Alexander thought that Giovanni was really a slightly tragic person, but now after he obviously offended the people of the Farne family, he suddenly invited himself to his banquet publicly, which seemed a bit strange.
However, his surname is still Bogia.
"It seems you want to go?" Seeing Alexander pondering, Nashan shrugged. "That's why I want to take Sophia away. Rome is not suitable for us to stay here."
"I'm going to the appointment," Alexander put the letter aside. He couldn't tell Nashan the reason, nor could he say that he knew that the family had a strange relationship that could kill each other. At least in the eyes of others, the Bogia family was still intimate at this time.
Otherwise, there would be no rumors that Lucrezia and her two brothers were too "close".
However, Alexander knew that behind this rumor was a murder that would soon shake the whole of Italy. At that time, the call for the family to be suspected of being the murderer because of incompatibility between them was even needed to declare his other sons in the name of the church.
How long will it take? 6 months or 7 months?
So what is the conflict between Giovanni and his brothers? Has it reached the point where there is a deep enough crack?
"Do you want me to send more people to protect you?" Nashan asked helplessly.
"Well, send more." Alexander did not reject Nashan's proposal. He was not a person who believed he would be lucky forever, so he would not refuse even if he could protect him.
The Gilpitz Palace still looks so majestic. Compared with Lucrezia's Potico Palace, the Gilpitz Palace clearly exudes enough majesty, just like Giovanni Pogiya gives people the feeling, even though it has been plagued by stubborn diseases in the dark, the majesty of the Duke of Gandia was not damaged at all.
Seeing Alexander get off the horse, Giovanni also paid special attention to Alexander's mount that was obviously unusually majestic. Speaking of which, he had not ridden a horse for a long time, looking at the young man younger and healthier than him, Duke Gandia, like his servant, felt inexplicable jealousy in his heart.
To be honest, Giovanni didn't like this young man from the bottom of his heart. He had decided on this dislike even when he first met. As for the reason, he couldn't explain it clearly.
Now watching him jump off the horse calmly, Giovanni suddenly figured it out. Maybe this dislike was because of the inexplicable vitality of this young man.
"Let's see who is here," Giovanni slowly walked down the steps. He looked at Alexander carefully. He was actually a little curious. He wanted to know how this man was so bold that he dared to kill Julia Farne's brother. "Do you know how many people in Rome want to kill you now?"
"I think it must be a lot," Alexander nodded, and he understood what Giovanni meant. "But I also want to know what name they killed me, just because I killed a guy who insulted my woman?"
"Your woman is a bohemian," Giovanni corrected it. "And the man you killed was the last name of Farne, which is enough to make many people willing to use your life to please a lady."
"This includes you too?" Alexander looked at Giovanni.
Duke Gandia stared at Alexander silently, and after a while he said something from his mouth: "You are very brave, you dare to talk to me like this." Then he turned around and raised his hand and greeted him, "Come in, it's so cold outside, it's better to drink something first before chatting."
The Gilpitz Palace still had a cold breath as before. Alexander suddenly felt that if the Potico Palace was compared to a paradise with spring atmosphere, then the Gilpitz Palace was obviously covered with ice and snow everywhere. This feeling has been there since the first time I came.
Attending the banquet was obviously just an excuse. Looking at the cold dry meat and double wine on the table, Alexander simply pushed the cup aside.
Looking at Alexander's actions, Giovanni nodded: "Let's just tell me, I heard you discovered some conspiracy, right?"
Alexander nodded. Giovanni's question was not surprising. In fact, he had guessed something when he received a letter from Giovanni.
"It has something to do with Giovanni? I mean Lucrezia's husband?" Giovanni asked with a frown. "You should know he is my family."
Caesar and Jeffrey are also your family. Alexander said something in his heart, but at this time he just nodded silently.
"Is the evidence conclusive?" Giovanni asked this and immediately shouted in a stern tone without waiting for the answer. "This matter is very important. Our family doesn't want Lucrezia to be hurt, so if you cannot provide enough favorable evidence, you will be considered as sow discord."
Alexander listened calmly, watching Giovanni seemingly coughing because of anger, and then had to pick up the wine glass and drink a few sips to calm down, he nodded again.
"What does it mean to nod, or is it?" Giovanni shouted angrily. "Do you know what the consequences will be? If the Sforza family knew about your accusations, they would never be polite to you. If it is proved that you are talking and slandering my family, no one in the Bogia family will tolerate such evil deeds."
"Does the people of the Borgia family include Mrs. Julia Farne?"
Giovanni was stunned for a moment, and he looked at Alexander in disbelief, as if he was asked by such bold words. After a while, he made a sneer of surprise.
"It's really surprising that you're so brave," Giovanni said with a smile, then he grabbed the cold meat on the table and put it in his mouth and pointed it with greasy fingers while chewing. "You know, your news really scares too many people, so we have to be careful, and not everyone thinks you should believe, so we need enough evidence. The Sforza family is important to us. If you can't prove that what you say is true, you are the only one who is unlucky."
Alexander nodded slightly. He had already vaguely heard the meaning of Giovanni's words. It was obvious that Giovanni didn't care whether Lucrezia's husband Giovanni Sforza really betrayed the Borgia family. He was more concerned about whether there was any evidence.
"You can see that you seem to be in a dilemma. Maybe some of my friends can help you." Giovanni put down his glass after taking a sip of wine, staring at Alexander, and slapped his hand hard.
Two men walked in, one of them carried a small wooden box on the table, and after opening it, it turned into a small writing table.
"Come on, write something." Giovanni said to Alexander.
Hearing his words, the man gently placed the paper and pen in front of Alexander.
Alexander, who had vaguely guessed some possibility, took the pen, pondered for a moment, and then wrote a sentence on the paper, and then he pushed the paper in front of the man.
The man took the piece of paper and walked to the writing table made of boxes and whispered with his other companion. Then the two of them started working. After a while, the piece of paper returned to Alexander.
Looking at the two lines above and below, which were exactly the same handwriting as if a person had repeated it twice, Alexander quietly pushed the paper towards Giovanni.
"Things that begin with injustice must be consolidated with sin."
Giovanni's eyebrows frowned slightly, and then he placed the paper on the flame of the wax table beside the table, and the paper instantly turned into ashes.
"Now are you relieved?" Giovanni stared at Alexander. "I can provide you with enough 'evidence', and you can just let some believe that Giovanni Sforza has betrayed the Borgia family. In return I promise you will not be retaliated by Farne, at least not during your time in Rome."
Alexander looked at Giovanni and he noticed the implicit meaning of the sentence.
"Don't look at me like that. After all, you killed Julia's only brother. She won't let you go," Giovanni smiled slightly. "So you have two choices now, either kill those who want to please Julia Farne immediately, or help me do this, and maybe there's a chance to return to Naples safely."
In fact, there is a third choice. Alexander thought to himself, and then he nodded.
"I understand what to do."
"Very good," Giovanni made a gesture to the two men waiting next to him, "Come on what we need quickly."
