When crossing the North Arno River, Alexander clearly felt a hint of coldness.

Just as the northern regions often regard the Po River as a symbol of distinguishing between the north and the south, the locals in Tuscany are always used to regard the Arno River as a boundary that divides the upper and lower Tuscany.

But in Alexander's view, the North Arno River is like the dividing line between Lucrezia and Barenti. The two of them tacitly regard this place as the dividing line between Pisa and Montina, and both sides try not to contact each other's territory.

But Alexander didn't want his women to have such a narrow vision. In his mind, the world is so vast. How could he limit a small Tuscany and Romagna?

Just thinking of Barenti as his woman also made Alexander stunned.

But after thinking about it, I realized that although there was almost no relationship between the two, the engagement they had set from the beginning had tied them together.

Especially as the relationship between the two parties becomes closer and closer, although the two still seem so strange, in fact, they are already inseparable.

Perhaps Old Rovery really considered getting involved with Barenti and Cargino, but as the situation changed, his idea must have disappeared.

As their marriage approaches, they are finally getting married.

What would it be like to marry Barenti?

Alexander felt that after marriage, they might discuss not about banquets, hunting, or new clothes, but about borrowing, stakes and plans to stimulate market consumption.

This kind of life may be boring, but Alexander is ready.

And Sophia.

The sudden appearance of Nashan caused the longing for Sophia that had been hidden in Alexander's heart. He didn't know Sophia's situation now, but he thought that their father and daughter should be able to take care of each other when they were together.

Bohemians have long been used to wandering life, and it will be uncomfortable if they are allowed to stay in one place for too long...

But Alexander knew that Sophia had gradually begun to get used to a stable life. Although her so-called stability was always different from others, she had begun to pay attention to dressing up her room, and because of her intimacy with Alexander, she became less keen on wandering.

It was just a sudden change that forced Sophia to leave him, so where is Sophia now?

When Alexander thought of the rumors brought by Ashulk, he always had a premonition that Sophia's life was not as peaceful as he thought. Although those rumors were actually absurd to him, and even because they were confused with his previous experiences, the facts had long become unrecognizable, but if it was as Ashulk said, Sophia would not have lived so peacefully whether in Bohemia or in the Balkans.

Alexander kept thinking about it, the closer he got to Montina, the more he thought.

With the beginning of October, the pace of 498 is almost at the end of this year, and it has been almost three years since he arrived in this era.

A cheerful neigh came from Pagasus's mouth under his seat, and its pace was obviously faster. Alexander looked forward and soon found a team coming towards him.

There are not many people in this team, about a dozen people. Even in this cloudy day without sun, you can see the shining of their armor from afar.

Busako immediately ordered the hunting guards to prepare, but soon he waved his hand to signal the hunting guards to lift the alert.

"This is..." Busacco looked at Alexander with a little uncertainty.

Alexander nodded slowly.

The cavalry team soon arrived in front of the hunting guards, and led the team to take off their thick hooded hood from their heads, revealing their long black hair.

A face that was not beautiful but very simple appeared in front of Alexander.

"Balendi."

Alexander, who had already recognized the man, said softly, his eyes fell on Barenti's face, and his expression changed slightly differently from before.

If the two of them used to be more of a relationship due to interests, then when they really want to get married, Alexander's thoughts on Barenti will have changed a little.

Is this the one who wants to start a family with you in this era in the future?

This thought has been lingering in Alexander's mind. He said that he himself didn't know what he thought about Barenti, or if he thought about it carefully, he couldn't tell what he thought about the women around him.

Lucrezia gave birth to a daughter for him.

Sophia once suffered for him and even shared hardships with him.

As for Ruosha, from the beginning, she became his most trusted and close ally, and may become a lover he may not be able to disclose in his life.

As for Barenti, they were the one who wanted to become his wife. If nothing unexpected happened, they would have to walk together for many years until one of them entered the grave.

Thinking of this, Alexander couldn't help but squeeze his legs slightly into the horse's belly, urging Pagasus to move forward quickly. After stopping with Barenti, his thighs felt the temperature coming from Barenti's legs. Then he leaned out and kissed Barenti's side face slightly.

Barendi seemed stunned. The words she was about to speak were blocked by this unexpected kiss. A hint of surprise appeared on her face, and she seemed to have never expected Alexander to do so.

But she quickly calmed down and said in a very calm tone: "Welcome to home sir."

Alexander nodded. He was not dissatisfied with Barenti's seemingly cold attitude. He knew that Barenti was a little confused about the upcoming wedding just like him.

Barenti's seemingly cold expression now aroused Alexander's interest a little. He suddenly had the urge to see this always indifferent woman, whether angry or happy or excited.

"We are getting married soon. Don't you think it's better to be intimate in front of our hands to show how perfect our marriage is?"

Before Barendi understood what Alexander said, Alexander had reached out and suddenly hugged her hard, and carried her to Pagasus's back in a scream of exclamation.

Because of the sudden weight of one person, Pagasus immediately hovered back and forth a few times before stabilizing his body. It made a muffled nose, and then began to walk forward slowly as Alexander gently stumbled on the horse's thighs.

The people on both sides obviously did not expect the count to suddenly become so enthusiastic. When the Bohemians whistled, Barenti's men looked at each other and shrugged helplessly.

Barenti was a little scared, she didn't even struggle, or she listened to Alexander's words, at least she seemed very close to her fiancé in front of her subordinates.

However, her body was always stiff. Even if she soon felt the heat coming from Alexander, her waist was still stiff. After a while, she felt indescribable discomfort.

"You have to relax, otherwise if you let me carry it back like this, you will be so painful that you can't sleep at night." Alexander whispered in Barenti's ear. Seeing Barenti's neck still nodding slowly, he held Barenti's hand and used light force, and his fingers poked her slender waist.

"Puchi~" He laughed at first, and then Barenti's body softened. She looked at Alexander with a hurried and helpless manner, as if he was confused about how to deal with his unexpected behavior.

"Tell me what you have done these days?" Alexander asked casually.

"I have reviewed all the farms," ​​Barenti destroyed the rare warm atmosphere as soon as he spoke. "I find that you are too kind to the farmers. They are stealing. Yes, they are stealing our things. They are unwilling to pay enough rent. And they dare to privately reclaim a piece of woodland that originally belonged to us."

"Oh, which woodland is it?"

"It's the northeast of Montina, in the place called Gansinte, I found that some farmers mined our woodland privately. They cut down many trees and planted crops, but they deliberately concealed it when they reported the amount of land to us."

"You went to Gansinte?" Alexander asked a little strangely.

The reason why he was strange was that the place was almost at the junction of the farthest village of Bologna, and if he turned from there, he would encounter the swimming cavalry sent by the Venetians to the edge of Romagna.

According to the agreement with the Venetians after the Battle of Oral-Chimonet, Venice had the right to stay a certain number of defenders on their side at the border with the northeast of Romagna, and their swimming cavalry whistles always appeared on both sides of the border from time to time.

"Of course I want to go to that place. I must know how many people there are in our territory," Barenti looked up at Alexander with a somewhat blameless look. "You are too indulging them to make them completely forget their duties. They plant our land, and here is our territory. In addition to the tax rent of the land, they also have to pay us additional things as obligations. The things for a year include a whole goat, one or two castrated goats, at least 20 pints of rye, 20 pints of oats, 0 full honey skewers, and all kinds of wild dried flowers that have been dried, and... "

"There is another little housewife who likes to be serious." Alexander exerted a little force on his arm, and felt that Barenti, who was in his arms, froze again, and poked her waist lightly.

Barentie chuckled again, and then she looked up at Alexander with some strange surprise.

Alexander's attitude was never before, which made Barenti a little panicked.

She would rather meet Alexander, who was a little distant and distant before, and now she feels a little at a loss.

The sound of horse hooves was very crisp, but it was like hitting Barenti's heart.

She moved a little annoyed, with some urge to struggle out of Alexander's arms.

Feeling Barenti's seemingly annoyed mood, Alexander finally relaxed his arms slightly, but the slightly bumpy horseback immediately became unsafe, so Barenti had to stop twisting at will.

"Let me go." Barenti whispered, she was not used to this kind of intimacy. In her memory, her father never was too intimate with her mother, even though they had four children.

Alexander laughed. He knew that for Barenti, these actions were a bit crazy, but thinking about the seriousness she saw since she met her, Alexander was a little curious. Did she spend her childhood like this?

If that's the case, she's really not adorable at all.

The short but fruitless war between Montina and Genoa made many people interested in Montina, a force that suddenly rose in Romagna.

Although the previous war with the Venetians had already made Montina show its hideousness, this brief conflict with the Genoese attracted even more attention.

After all, Montina was just a supporting role in the coalition that was not noticeable. Whether it was military strength or the impact of combat, people were more concerned about the Genoese and Cargino who directly defeated the Venetians.

But this time, Alexander only relied on his own army. He first defeated the army led by Cargino on a small river called Goat Creek later. Later, he fought against Cargino for several consecutive days and had his own victory or defeat.

But these are not the most important ones.

The key point is that in the end, he did not suffer a crushing defeat in this conflict where his strength seemed to be inequality.

Many people are more concerned about things outside the battlefield than Alexander's achievements on the battlefield.

"Someone wants to see you, but they did not go to Pisa, but came to Montina."

Feeling a quirky look in Barenti's tone, Alexander looked at her with some interest. He wanted to see Barenti's jealous look, but he felt that this might be a bit miserable, because unless he felt that it was a threat to her family, Barenti would not care about Lucrechia or any other woman because of jealousy.

"Who is it?"

Alexander was a little curious. He knew that as the conflict with the Genoese ended, Montina might attract a lot of attention, but he didn't know who would be the first to come into contact with him.

Alexander thought of Venice, Milan, and even Bologna.

But when he heard Barenti say "Ferrara", Alexander was still stunned.

"Ferrara?"

"Yes, the Tikon family of Ferrara has sent people, and they seem to have something to negotiate with you."

Barendi didn't seem to be unhappy because the visitor of Ferrara refused to tell her the truth about the visit. Perhaps in her opinion, the news that would be easily revealed would not be valuable.

Alexander glanced at Barenti strangely, and then made sure that there was nothing special between her expressions.

There is nothing particularly worth paying attention to in this place of Ferrara. The only thing that makes people notice is that this place is very close to Venice.

Or it is not impossible for Ferrara to enter the Venetian land after all when they entered Romagna.

As for the Tikon family in Ferrara, it is not much different from the nobles of other city-states.

However, there are two reasons why Alexander cares so much about this visitor.

One is that the Ticon family is one of the oldest families among the Italian nobles, whose ancestors can even be traced back to the era of the Lombardy Kingdom.

Another reason is that a few years later, a war will take place in order to compete for the Duke of Ferrara's Laurel.

The one who launched this war was to seize the throne of Duke of Ferrara for his son.
