Chapter 153: The bright sun in July, each thing
De Charleon looked at Caesar sitting opposite him with a gloomy face. Because the room was a little dark, he needed to squint his eyes to see the face in the shadows clearly.
"So, I was betrayed by you?" Shahrlun asked coldly.
"Knight, I'm really sorry, but we all know that Gombrey won't hurt you." Caesar raised his hand and made a disapproving gesture. "He may be angry, but he won't be stupid enough to offend you, so you are actually safe."
"But I think being betrayed is what makes me even more angry," Shahron stood up and walked to Caesar and stared at him. "What are you thinking about, you are going to steal his woman from that Gombrey's hand."
"Lucrechia is not his woman, she is Borgia, my sister!"
Caesar looked excited and stared at Charlen in front of him.
"If you bring Lucrechia back to Rome, what are you going to do next?" Charlen suddenly asked.
"If that were the case, I would let Gombre know the price of offending the Borgia family," Caesar shouted in anger at first, then inserted his hands into his hair and grabbed it twice. "I don't know how he said he found out, this person makes me feel a little scary sometimes."
"If you could get along with him better, I think things might not be so bad," said Charleon, walking towards the door. Before leaving the door, he stopped to say to Caesar, who was always angry. "If I were you, I would try to be friends with this person, and you made him your enemy."
"No!" Caesar said angrily, "Gumbrey and I cannot be friends, we will never be friends in this life. We will only be enemies. From the moment he robbed Lucrezia from me, it was destined that only one of us could stay in this world in the end."
Charlon looked at Caesar in surprise. He didn't understand why Caesar was so excited and was so hostile to Alexander, but he was not interested in this.
Charlen was concerned about how the conflict between Caesar and Alexander would affect the imminent invasion of France.
Charleon knew that the Duke of Orleans had been secretly paying attention to the situation in Italy a few years ago. It can even be said that he was more familiar with these city-states than Charles VIII. It was precisely because of this that Charleon was sent to Rome as an envoy, but it was obvious that Louis XII seemed to trust the Phice beside him more. It was precisely because of this that Charleon guessed that Caesar should have known Phice be in Rome, so he had planned to let him be bait.
"Damn Borgia." Sharlun walked out of the castle along the steps.
This is a fortress near the southeast corner of Pisa City. The Arno River has a small bend here, which makes the terrain here a bit steep. The Pisa people built this fortress here as a guarantee to prevent Florence.
"Knight, I can't agree with your words," Alexander appeared in the corridor leading to the fortress, looking up at Charlen, Alexander smiled. "You know that my beloved woman is Borgia. Do you think Lucrezia deserves to die?"
"Please forgive my mistake," Shaerlun responded with a good temper, and then he made a way out for the pressure he had already walked in front of him. "So you are here to meet your relative?"
"No, I'm here to see you," Alexander reached out and made an invitation gesture, turned around and walked down the corridor with Charlun. "I don't think it's necessary to meet Caesar. I can imagine how much he hates me, so I don't need to meet him."
Sharlun laughed softly. He didn't expect that the two people were quite similar in this regard. It was obvious that as Caesar said, the hostility between them seemed to be really eliminated only if one person stayed in this world.
"Earl, I heard from Master Feiche that you were old friends before, have you?" Shahron asked as he walked.
"Yes, to be precise, it was in Sicily. At that time, Master Fitch once took one of his students to Sicily, and we had dealt with them there." Alexander replied calmly.
Charon nodded and said nothing, which made Alexander a little strange. Although he felt that Fitch would not have clamored the Duke of Orleans to disguise himself in Sicily to destroy the matter, it seemed that even Charon did not know about this matter, which made Alexander feel that things were a bit unexpected.
For Louis XII, who was the Duke of Orleans at that time, it was a bit ridiculous and even a little chaotic for someone of his identity.
Because as the most important member of the French royal family, the Duke of Orleans is noble and sensitive.
He was born in a noble family and as the closest branch of the Valois dynasty to his direct line, once his direct line dies, he must inherit the French throne, giving the Duke of Orleans a special status as an invisible heir to the throne. Such a status is destined to attract people's attention at any time.
The same status made him not so easy to take risks.
But the Duke of Orleans sneaked into Sicily, ruled by King Aragon, who was fighting with it, and even went deep into the palace of Sicily, which was something that Alexander could never understand.
Now seeing that even Charleon may not be clear about what the Duke of Orleans did at the beginning, Alexander couldn't help but wonder what the French, or because it should be said that the Duke of Orleans had in Sicily.
Due to Caesar's adventure, Charlen's trip to Pisa obviously had to end early.
Although not many people knew about it, the news spread quickly.
Caesar's actions of hijacking Lucrezia and his daughter surprised the Pizza people and were secretly shocked.
They knew very well that Pisa could not be compared with Florence. Florence could still be safe and sound after years of confrontation with the Vatican, but Pisa was just a tiny ant. When they thought they wanted to be enemies with the Pope, many Pisa people became panicked because of panic.
There were more people around Tomniho. These Pisa people who were just waiting and watching the situation gathered at Tomniho at this time. They began to quietly discuss what had happened recently, and the seemingly worse and worse relationship between Alexander and the Pope.
Even though there was a direct conflict between the two sides in Livor before, many people still had fantasies as Lucrezia became pregnant. However, the incident of Caesar's attempt to conspire to rob Lucrezia made people realize that the relationship between the Bogia family and Alexander may not be so easy to reconcile.
At the same time, the bizarre cause of death of Lucrezia's first husband Giovanni Sforza was also taken advantage of.
When people thought of even Giovanni Sforza, who was a legitimate husband, died so inexplicably, people could not help but start to wonder how much weight Alexander could have in the minds of the Borgia family.
Tomño was very happy. He knew that there were various rumors spreading outside, which were obviously not good for Alexander, and it would definitely affect his control over Pisa.
Tomniho felt that this was obviously a sign that God heard His prayer and that the usurper was about to be punished.
The duke who had always seemed discouraged suddenly became active. He began to meet with people who had not wanted to meet before or did not want to meet him.
Whenever he receives a response from someone, he will be so happy that he jumps around alone in his not-so-size room.
What puzzled people was that Alexander ignored Tomónio's actions.
De Charleon left Pisa after 2 days. During these two days, Alexander had been having a secret talk with him. As for what he talked about, no one knew because no one was present.
When Charlem left, he went to visit Caesar again, but this time he just said goodbye.
What surprised Charon was that he didn't know if he knew that he would not be in danger or had other certainty. Caesar was not worried about his situation in prison.
However, looking at Caesar's careless look, Charlun couldn't help feeling a little pitiful to the Pope's son.
He recalled the conditions that Alexander asked him to tell the Pope: "Openly recognize and bless Estres' inheritance right, and declare eternal recognition of the Duke of Pisa as a candidate for succession for Lombardy."
With Giovanni's death, Caesar Porgia was Alexander VI's only hope now, and this hope has once again become Alexander's prisoner.
Perhaps Alexander would not hurt Caesar, but it does not mean that this continuous blow and setback will not harm Caesar's prestige that has not yet been established.
It is hard to imagine that a person who becomes a prisoner again and again can convince others, and Caesar is now the greatest helper for Alexander VI to realize his ambitions.
Charlen believed that the Pope would agree to this condition, and there was no doubt that there was no more important than saving Caesar now, especially at this time, with the French about to invade again, Alexander VI needed someone with real trust to stay by his side and help him cope with the situation that might change at any time.
Of course, Caesar didn't know that Alexander sold him for a good price. The only thing he was angry was that Alexander did not allow Lucrezia to visit him.
So when he saw Charon, he immediately asked about Lucrezia in a hurry.
When Caesar heard that Alexander did not punish Lucrezia for absconding, he felt relieved. Although he was not worried about his own safety, it did not mean that he could tolerate such imprisonment...
"Kumbrey will eventually let me go back," Caesar walked around with some resentment. "It reminded me of what happened in Livor before. I have to admit that it was really frustrating, but if he thought it would be wrong to humiliate me like this, it would only make me want to prove myself more."
Looking at Caesar who was imprisoned in a cage, Charleon felt some danger.
But then another strange idea was that if the person in front of him was a beast that could hurt and devour people at any time, then that Gongbray was holding a whip to tame the beast and taming the orcs.
The Metics brothers left with Charlene. Although their relationship with the French was very subtle, Giovanni de Metics did not want to give up an opportunity to repair the future new French king.
Of course, now they would not think that they would cultivate a French queen in the future.
However, even before leaving, Julio had not forgotten his whimsical thoughts. Although the abscond incident seemed to indicate that the relationship between the two Alexanders was obviously not as harmonious as they imagined, Julio still spared no effort to recommend his nephew to Alexander.
But this time Alexander did not completely refuse.
Even though I don't think Estreth must marry Piero de Meticch's son, no matter what, the temptation to become the grandfather of the future French queen is still very great.
As long as you think about the future French royal family having their own blood circulation, a surge of excitement will surge into Alexander's heart.
So when Julio made that suggestion again, he was under great pressure and gave an unanimous answer after a little contemplation: "It depends on God's arrangement. Do you agree with me to say that, Lord Auxiliary?"
Looking at Alexander who turned his head to ask himself, Giovanni de Metic nodded with a smile.
And when they walked far away, Giovanni suddenly asked his brother: "What do you think? Obviously, the relationship between Count Montina and the Pope is not good. Perhaps after Caesar resumes freedom, war will break out again. That's it. Why do you still insist on bringing up this matter? You must know that Piero may not agree to this marriage."
"Ha Giovanni, do you think I'm a fool?" Julio laughed loudly. "Do we need to bet to see what happens next."
Giovanni de Meticuch stared at his brother with his eyes slanted for a while, and then he slowly shook his head: "No, I won't bet for the same reason as you."
"Ha." Julio laughed again, then he turned around and looked in the direction of Pisa City, saying in an interesting tone, "I noticed that Tomño suddenly became younger during this period."
"Well, you know, he even invited us to the banquet before," Giovanni de Metic nodded. "I have to say that this Tomño is the most annoying guy I've ever seen, but his tragedy is not annoying, but stupid."
"Yes, it's just stupidity." Julio echoed.
While discussing, the Metic brothers gradually disappeared on the way away. In Pisa, Alexander was still taking care of "his territory".
Finally, as the July sun brought plenty of sunshine and abundant rain to the land of Tuscany, a familiar person drove from Rome to Pisa.
Nomero stood in front of Caesar with a tired look on his face. He felt that he was about to be driven crazy by this family.
None of the Borgia family is worry-free, and Caesar in front of him is the one who has the most troublesome thing among the family.
"Let me go to France?" Caesar looked at Alexander VI's letter to him in shock, and then raised his head in disbelief. "Let me participate in the crown of the Duke of Orleans as a messenger of the Vatican?"
"Yes, this is what His Majesty the Pope meant." Nomero said expressionlessly.
"No, I want to meet Rome, and then lead the army back, and I want that Gombre to know the consequences of offending the Bogia family."
"Okay, don't you understand why the Pope asked you to go to France?!" Nomelo lost his temper in a rare manner. "Listen to your father, this is your opportunity to save your honor and a good opportunity to establish a good relationship with the French king. Listen, this is not your father's order, but the Pope's order!"
Nomero's words made Caesar look gloomy, but he nodded and agreed immediately.
"Go to France?"
When he heard the news, Alexander was teasing his daughter. Seeing Lucrezia listening with some concern, he nodded, "Then we should send Caesar, and you, Lucrezia, should meet him."
Lucrezia showed a look of joy. Although she had decided to stay with Alexander, she was still worried about Caesar's safety. Now that she heard Alexander's words, Lucrezia's heart finally let go.
