Marriage is a very happy thing. Successful career, marrying a wife and having children is a dream that all men in the world yearn for.

If you marry a woman who can bring you great wealth and dignity, then even if you look a little mediocre, it doesn't seem to be a problem.

For Alexander, it doesn't matter whether Barenti is beautiful or not, and when Earl Modilo took on this marriage, he didn't even consider his ideas.

Therefore, his marriage with Barenti, just like the marriage of most of the current marriages of the nobles, is just a combination of the interests of the two families.

Alexander had known this for a long time and had made a default decision.

It's just that if marriage can cause trouble, it's a little bad.

Speaking of which, unlike Sophia, who is like a knife that may fight with a rival who loves the wrong way, Lucrezia will never do that kind of thing.

It was just that she obviously had a more terrible and deadly weapon than a knife and a sharp long sword, her daughter.

Uriu came in a hurry and then left hurriedly attracted Lucrezia's attention.

She was very familiar with this Moor, at least the house she and Alexander had found for Uriu.

So when he heard that Uriu rushed to Montina, Lucrezia's first thought was that the Moors had gone to see Barenti on Alexander's order.

Of course, Barenti could not hide the fact that he had in Montina. However, as long as Alexander stayed in Pisa, Lucrezia would not mind because of this little thing.

Now that he heard that Uliu had rushed to Montina, Lucrezia couldn't help but wonder what happened to make the Moors so hurry. After all, in her impression, Uliu rarely leaves Alexander's side.

Once this kind of doubt arises, it is inevitable that you will think more about things.

Soon Lucrezia discovered that Alexander seemed to be hiding something from her.

So when she summoned the Venetian messenger, before she could return to the room, Lucrezia ordered her nurse to carry the duke and lady down, and then she closed the door and looked at Alexander, who was contemplative in front of her.

"You're going back to Montina, are you?"

"What?"

Alexander asked unexpectedly, and he didn't know why Lucrezia suddenly asked this. Although he did plan to return to Montina in the near future, he was still with his lover, which was unreasonable. Moreover, the lover was so arrogant that he had a daughter who had just become a duchess.

It was just that he didn't even tell the people closest to him, so Lucrezia's sudden inquiry surprised Alexander.

"You are going to Montina to meet Rovere?" Lucrezia asked again.

"No, I didn't, I was..." Alexander wanted to defend himself, but then his shoulders collapsed helplessly. "Yes, I have to go back to Montina. You must know that some things need to be resolved, but I can't go for a long time."

Lucrezia nodded silently. She knew that this kind of thing would always come sooner or later. As a child born to a mistress, she had seen her mother look like she was waiting for her father too many times.

But she never thought that one day she would wait like her mother.

"Do you have to go for a long time?"

"No, you have to know that both Pisa and Estrece are very critical moments now, and I don't feel at ease after leaving for a long time."

Lucrezia nodded. She knew that what Alexander said was the truth. Now this time is indeed a critical moment. Although Estelece's crown was still smooth, the storm that just passed made everything seem too hastily. Even the people of Pizza are still vaguely anxious.

Tomnio was buried in the cemetery behind Pisa Church. Although the cemetery was a family cemetery bought by Tomnio's family a long time ago, the burial of such a hurry still caused a lot of discussion.

But Alexander didn't care about these things anymore.

He had to completely resolve the Pisa matter as soon as possible, because in addition to the sudden whim of old Rovere asking him and Barenti to get married as soon as possible, as early autumn gradually approached, he also felt that time became more and more urgent.

The crowning of King Louis XII of France should have ended. When most European countries believe that with the new king ascended the throne, France may take some time to solve various problems that arise in the country, and Louis XII is unlikely to turn his attention outside France so quickly, no one would have thought that the French king would follow Charles VIII's steps without hesitation at the beginning of his succession.

Although Charlie was defeated, he was still an outstanding commander.

After returning to France, he almost immediately devoted himself to the preparations for a second invasion of Italy.

If it weren't for Charlie's accidental death that forced France to suspend its invasion, perhaps the Italian War would have rekindled the war in 1498.

However, Alexander knew that even so, the French invasion had only been delayed for more than half a year.

As the autumn wind suddenly rises, the strange 1499 year is getting closer and closer.

1499 was the last year of the 15th century. With the arrival of this year, a new era has come to the world.

And the 16th century will be a completely different era than before.

If the last years of the late 15th century painted an end to the millennium of darkness, then the early 16th century was the moment when they finally came out of the darkness and then moved towards the dawn.

At this time, many new things and people will appear. People will taste the delicious and magical fruits brought back by Columbus from strange continents, and will also see Da Gama returning sails loaded with the wealth brought back from India.

In Europe, a war has been brewing for too long, and has been destined since the age of the Husse War, and is about to completely change the entire Western Christian world pattern, the Reformation has become vaguely revealed.

This wave after wave of history is too urgent for Alexander.

Even though he is well aware of the future history, in the face of such a great change that has not been seen in a thousand years, Alexander still has the worry of whether he can not be submerged in this tide.

This is an era in which anyone can become a hero, but even the noblest of his origin may be eliminated.

From the unification of Spain to the rise of England, from the Ottoman cavalry and scimitar, to the 95 outlines that Martin Luther lost all the majesty of the Vatican.

A gathering of wind and clouds, and many talents emerge!

Lucrezia saw Alexander closing his eyes seemed to be resting, but she felt his chest undulating violently, which made her a little worried.

She reached out and pressed it on the back of Alexander's hand, and was immediately startled by the scorching heat on his hand.

"God, are you sick?"

"No, I'm fine," Alexander, who was disturbed, suddenly opened his eyes. What he saw was not the epic of the times that flashed through his mind like a glimpse of light in his mind at that moment, but the woman he loved. Alexander stretched out his hand and gently stroked Lucrezia's cheek. "Just having a long dream."

Lucrezia looked at Alexander with some concern. She suspected that it might be her previous attitude that made him unhappy, so she leaned slightly in Alexander's arms, snuggled him to his chest, and said softly: "I don't know what to do. You may not know how happy I was when I saw Nomero. I mean it was different from the last time he came, this time because I knew my father hadn't forgotten me yet."

Alexander nodded. He knew that Lucrezia was actually because of lack of security. Since Caesar tried to rob her last time and she finally chose to stay, although she did not say it, Alexander could feel the confusion and uneasiness in Lucrezia's heart.

Will her father forgive her? What did the previous letter think about Alexander VI? This kind of pressure made Lucrezia enjoy the happiness brought to her by her lover and daughter, but also made her fall into uneasy and confusion from time to time.

"I know," Alexander gently embraced Lucrezia's smooth shoulders. "I asked you to write that letter, it's really too difficult for you."

"No, that's what it should be," Lucrezia shook her head slightly, as if she wanted to correct Alexander's misunderstanding. "I'm certainly fighting for the best interests for my daughter. I'm not for that uneasy, I'm just worried that I might be abandoned."

Looking at Lucrezia's serious expression, Alexander could only nod his head silently. He was indeed unable to understand this kind of Bogian-style feeling that could separate family affection and interests so clearly.

"Caesar may come back with the French," Alexander decided to reveal something to Lucrezia, which was to prepare for the future, and secondly, it would be easier to explain even when asked. "I know the pope is negotiating with the French, and your father hopes to change his relationship with France, so if France invades again, Caesar may become their ally."

"So will he play pizza?" Lucrezia immediately grasped the key to the matter. "I know my father always attaches great importance to pizza."

Hearing this euphemistic statement, Alexander couldn't help but smile.

Alexander VI's ambitions for Pisa are as well known as his hatred for Florence.

So he is actually very willing to see Estelece becoming the Duke of Pisa.

At least then he can exert influence on Pisa in his grandfather's name.

Of course, if his cheap son-in-law unfortunately died on the battlefield and left Lucrezia's orphan and widowed mother, it would be even more perfect.

At that time, he can even directly take Pizza under his rule in the name of protection.

Alexander didn't say this, it would be too disgraceful if that were the case.

But I think Alexander VI thought about this. Perhaps after receiving the letter from Lucrezia, he was secretly happy that she was eager to win Montina's power for her daughter, because then maybe it might really make him take a big advantage in vain.

Alexander was not afraid to speculate with the greatest malicious intention of his father-in-law, which would not make him feel inappropriate.

On the contrary, when you come later, you will often find that the previous speculations and suspicions may not have fully guessed the most vicious part in the pope's heart.

When Alexander VI was reigned, he did not catch up with the collapse of the Christ world, but he was definitely one of the culprits that led to the later great division.

"If Caesar comes back, maybe he will have ideas about Pisa," Alexander said, seeing Lucrezia's shallow brown eyebrows suddenly frowned. "We all know that Caesar always wanted to be the master of Romagna, and for this he would rather give up his priesthood."

"But he can't make a pizza idea." Lucrezia said angrily, "Pizza belongs to my daughter. Maybe she will become the earl of Montina in the future, so I will not allow Caesar to make a decision."

"I hope you can convince him, but I am not so optimistic. You should know that besides Caesar, there are French people, and Louis has greater ambitions than Caesar, if the French try to occupy our daughter's territory..."

Lucrezia was a little uneasy. Although she was not aware of government affairs, she was not stupid. She still knew the power of the French. At least she saw it with her own eyes during the days when the French occupied Rome.

"What should we do? Ask my father for help?"

Alexander's lips moved. He wanted to say that his father-in-law had pretended to be a grandson in front of the French, but he would have to forget it.

"We need allies, many allies, at least allies that can make the French or your brother care about."

Lucrezia's face slowly became gloomy. She stared at Alexander for a while, then asked in a cold tone: "You can't be talking about the Lovere family."

"That's one of them," Alexander did not deny it, although he was thinking about others. "We must prepare ourselves for Pizza to protect herself in the upcoming war, so I have to leave for the time being."

"When are you going to leave?"

Lucrezia's emotions had calmed down a lot. She stood up and looked at Alexander. There was no sign of force in her eyes, but the silent stare had already made Alexander feel uneasy.

"Don't worry, it won't be soon."

There are still some things that must be resolved, such as the Venetians.

The messengers sent by Alexander probably had not arrived in Venice yet, but the messengers of Venice came first.

This made Alexander guess that this should be proof that the Venetians had already planned it.

Alexander didn't know that Groghenin and Kotschach wanted to borrow the intervention of the Venetians to help him.

If he knew about it, he would first doubt whether these two people had taken the Venetian kickbacks, and then sigh that he had met bad people and met two guys who specialized in cheating on his teammates.

The Venetians' greed for Romagna is also well known, but Alexander is not worried now.

Or even after receiving the news that Uriu was sent by Rome, even if he knew the two people's thoughts, he would not doubt whether they were going to harm him.
