However, we can't be too anxious now. Frederick and his son are still here, and Alfred is still Ruosha's nominal husband. It will take some time to make people gradually recognize Ruosha's inheritance rights.

But now it seems that what they lack is time.

According to reliable information, after unexpectedly slow preparations, the French fleet finally made all preparations as Louis's imperial camp sent troops from Nice.

How long will the French arrive in Naples, how many days or a week?

Naples were talking and panic.

However, Alexander knew that things should not be so bad for the time being, because there was a key figure that no one had expected before, which determined the French's next actions.

After the negotiations, some trivial matters that arranged for Normezi to set off were handed over to Ofulei, and Alexander returned to the Duiland Palace where he was temporarily staying.

Although it was already afternoon, Mrs. George Anne had not yet gotten up. In fact, this was because she had been hanging out with a gardener she recently fell in love with last night, so that after the sky was already bright in the early morning, Alexander could still hear their seductive high and low sounds.

Alexander suspected that Mrs. George Anne did this just to vent her loneliness. Speaking of which, the wife's life was undoubtedly a tragedy. She seemed to be controlled by others every moment of her life. Perhaps only when she was completely indulged in this way could she forget everything outside her.

Moreover, Alexander speculated that George Anne seemed to be intentionally not wanting to see him. After all, although she might not have any feelings for the child who was sent away when she was born, as long as she saw him appear in front of her every day in the name of Joe, Mrs. George Anne would always be stimulated.

Thinking of this, Alexander returned to his room. It happened that this was the room he had lived in before, but this reminded him of the scene when he lived here with Sophia.

I don’t know how Sophia is going, but this idea made Alexander a little impatient. Speaking of Lucrezia, he was with him during the pregnancy, but Sophia could only face it by herself. This made Alexander feel deeply guilty about Sophia. However, the current situation in Italy made him unable to withdraw from his family to accompany Sophia. And according to his vision, this tension would probably last for a long time and could not be eased.

A dusty man followed Schell in. Alexander had seen him waiting outside before.

This man looked familiar. When he identified Alexander, he recognized him as a close follower next to Old Luo Weire.

"The Cardinal ordered me to send you a letter," the man said, tearing open his clothes, carefully pulling out a few pieces of paper from different mezzanines to send to Alexander.

At the end, the man handed Alexander a dagger with a Bible saying engraved on the hilt of the knife he carried with him.

Looking at the preaching, Alexander immediately found the secret index of the letter from the corresponding Bible space in the room, and then began to read it bit by bit.

This letter was the reply from Old Rovery to Alexander. When he saw the first sentence "If nothing unexpected happens, your Machimo will soon put on the cardinal's red hat", Alexander couldn't help but clench his fists excitedly.

Letting Machimo enter the Vatican was a vision that Alexander had planned for a long time. Now, even when they were all in Naples, the plan had already begun. However, at that time, Alexander had no specific direction for where he went. So although he had intentionally arranged Machimo to gradually enter the upper level of Naples since then, everything was still so complicated.

But now, everything is clear.

Mahimo would become the cardinal, and then it would take years or longer to stabilize his position in the Vatican, while Alexander could borrow Mahimo's gradually expanding influence in the Holy See to continue his plan that sounded almost whimsical now.

In addition to the matter about Machimo, what Lao Lovere really wants to talk about in this letter is the French.

The increasingly close connection between Alexander VI and Louis XII has aroused the vigilance of Rovery Old, and more importantly, he noticed that Alexander VI seemed to be anxious to organize an army for Caesar, which made Rovery Old realize something unusual.

"It is obvious that the Pope's son's ambition for Romagna is completely undisguised. He has repeatedly admitted his interest in the title of Duke of Romagna in public. At the same time, he has expressed more than once that if he cannot obtain this avatar in peace, he will step on all the bodies of his enemies who are trying to stop him from moving towards the crowning throne."

Although the content in the letter of Rovery Old was a bit alarmist, Alexander was not very surprised. He knew better than Rovery Old, and even Caesar himself. At this time, Caesar was not too rampant. His desire for the Duke of Rovery Old was still on his interest in this title. Only after the French invasion, as he took the opportunity to conquer those areas one by one, did his ambition become more aggressive and possessive. Later, Caesar was even dissatisfied with the title of Duke of Rovery, and his eyes would turn to Tuscany and even Lombardy. It was his unsatisfied behavior and the accidental death of Alexander VI that caused him to lose his strong reliance, which made him gradually lose the favor of Louis XII.

But those things happened a long time later, and Alexander didn't think that those things would happen again.

"I believe you are ready for the French's re-invasion. The French fleet will set out soon, but they will not receive any help from Genoa, nor will they be able to stop and recharge in Genoa. This means that because they can only obtain supplies in some small ports, their itinerary will inevitably be delayed. However, I would like to kindly remind you here that if the French advance along the coast and they do not receive enough replenishment along the way, then Pisa will undoubtedly be a very good supply place on their way."

Seeing this passage in the letter, Alexander paused. He did not expect that Old Rovery would take the initiative to remind him of this. Although he had already prepared, as Barenti's father, Old Rovery reminded him of Pisa or Lucrezia's safety in the letter. Alexander felt more deeply about Old Rovery in his heart.

There is no doubt that this person is a real power stakeholder, a cold-hearted person who can cooperate with any enemy for power, or sacrifice even the closest person without hesitation!

Compared with Rovery Old, Alexander VI was a little cute. At least in his mind, his family was the first, and in Rovery Old was always the first priority is power.

"I can't tolerate the French now," Alexander was a little surprised to see this passage. In his impression, Rovery Old has always been very calm. Even when he was angry, he would not be emotional because of his anger. This made him a little doubtful, Rovery Old is acting, but he still continued to watch. "Compared with Charlie, Louis is undoubtedly a suspicious, stingy and narrow-minded person. He hopes that the appearance of the Vatican is not a collaborator, but an obedient servant.

People, in this regard, the people of the Bogia family can obviously meet his requirements, but I am destined not to do it. Therefore, the French must put aside my desire to find other helpers in the Holy See. This is nothing to me personally, but Louis' ambition makes me very upset. He obviously not only wants to inherit Charles' claim to Naples, but wants to completely conquer all city-states, including the Vatican. I don't want to see such a result, nor do I want to be the Pope of Avignon one day to be the French."

Seeing this, Alexander finally couldn't help but smile. At this time, he understood a little bit why, as the largest leader, he later became the craziest anti-French member. This made Alexander think of Ludevico in Milan. Perhaps it was the kind of betrayal of the person he trusted that was the most angry stimulus, which led to the changes of these two people.

Old Rovery desires to become the pope, but his greater ambition is actually to unify the entire Italy!

Even though he had not realized this yet, he did, as the letter said, that he could not tolerate Avignon, who turned the Vatican into a Frenchman, and that one day he would become a pope who relied on the French.

"Pope of War God." Alexander whispered to himself, and he remembered the famous nickname of Old Rovery. No one called him that now, but in the future, even when he was still alive, this title would become famous throughout Europa.

It was precisely because of this intention, even to obstruct the French a little, that Old Lovelle reminded Alexander not to protect his lover and his daughter's pizza.

"Balendi, you really have a good father." Alexander shook his head with emotion. After talking about it, he still prefers the Pope more, but when he thinks about Nashan, who is said to have a leg up with his mother, he can't help but shake his head again.

The secret letter of the old Lovere wrote a lot of things, and any of them was a great event, especially in terms of attitude towards the French. Although the relationship between the Lovere family and the French was already very cold, the old Lovere directly admitted his hostility to Louis XII, and even clearly expressed his attitude of forming an alliance with the French enemy. Once leaked, it would cause an uproar.

So after reading it, Alexander immediately burned the secret letter. Looking at the ashes falling on the ground, Alexander couldn't help but secretly figure out how much Old Rovere's words were to be believed.

There is no doubt about opposing the attitude of the French. The key is what he will do in the future, whether he will spare no effort or stand by, and then wait until the time is almost done before he gets the bargain.

Alexander prefers that he will choose the latter, which is not only profitable but also related to his current status.

If you can't become a pope for a day, you will not be able to make yourself the target of others' attacks, let alone oppose a behemoth like France.

Thinking of this, Alexander could almost guess what Old Luo Weire would do next.

Obviously, at least at the beginning, don’t expect to get support from the Lovere family. In the letter, Rovery Old reminded Alexander to be careful not to completely anger the French. However, while saying this, the cardinal mentioned again about replacing the Fuger family with the emperor and becoming a mintman in the letter. In the letter, Rovery Old expressed enough attention to this, which made Alexander guess what agreement might be between Rovery Old and Emperor Maximian through this matter.

“It’s really complicated.”

Alexander, who was a little troubled to think, walked to the window and sat down and looked at the gods outside. Old Rover would not have thought that he was considering contact with the French at this time, nor did he think that perhaps the Aragonese army, which was the backbone of the French resistance, would collude with the French to seize Naples.

Of course, France and Aragon were not real allies. In fact, shortly after seizing Naples, Ferdinand took advantage of the dispute with the French in some disputed areas and immediately drove away the French and completely occupied Naples.

So what if this Naples battle takes place early?

While thinking, Alexander walked to the table and picked up a pen and started writing on the paper. Gradually, his thoughts became clear and clear. At the same time, the last point was a little vague about the use of this good chess piece Nolmezi, which was also in his mind.

"Dear Earl Julipe, it seems that we have underestimated your role before." Alexander burned the messy paper, and then he shook the bell and called Schell, who had been waiting outside.

Sher looked at the count with some nervousness. All he thought about this afternoon was how to silence the truth, or "beheaded" or "hanged to the crooked tree". Sher felt that his fate was destined.

After all, I saw something I shouldn't have seen, which made Sher even a little surprised how Busako, who has now become the commander of the New Balkan regiment, survived in recent years.

Looking at the guard officer who seemed a little out of control, Alexander said, "Go and ask how the marching captain Nolmezi is preparing."

"Yes, Master." Shel responded but did not move. He looked at Alexander's expression slightly from under the brim of his flipped hat, and then immediately looked at the copper ornaments on the table.

Speaking of which, Scher didn't like this kind of hat that looked strange to Balkan soldiers before. Compared with the popular Balkans' pointed rolled hats, this hat with only front and back flips was a bit unaccustomed to it. However, now he discovered one of the benefits of this hat, which was that he could peek at the master's face.
