Jeffrey is 15 years old, which is a good age to transition from an ignorant bear child to a half-baked teenager.

This young boy should have been beginning to have a hazy curiosity about the opposite sex, and because he didn't know how to behave inexplicably troubled all day, and because of this kind of innocent ignorance, they should be impulsive and sincere.

But because he was born in a family like Borgia, this sincerity has nothing to do with Jeffrey Borgia, although he has a face that seems to be full of childlike innocence, but no one really treats him as a child.

At the age of 12, Geoffrey married Chassan of Naples, a marriage that pleased both parents, and Geoffrey looked so innocent and beautiful as an angel at that time, that when the famous painting master Valmuchi accepted the commission of Alexander VI to paint their wedding, he deliberately described the young prince and his bride as a pair of pure angels who descended from heaven to bring good news to the entire Borgia family and the city of Rome.

Only now one of the two angels was panting beside a man who was not her husband, while the other had cold eyes and stared viciously at the scene that had shamed him with an expression that he should not have on the face of a 15-year-old.

Whether Jeffrey was a suspicious person or not was little known at this time, but he was a jealous man, and this Alexander knew very well.

Seeing Jeffrey in this way, Alexander couldn't help but think of another event that always seemed to him to be a mystery, and that was the mysterious death of Giovanni Borgia shortly after.

Alexander didn't know if Giovanni would die so mysteriously, after all, many things had changed.

The coalition army entered the city of Rome nearly half a month ahead of schedule, and although Gonzalo still denounced the Pope in public, he was not able to pass through under the triumphal arch that showed his conquest, and the biggest change was that Giovanni Sforza, who was supposed to escape from Rome, died inexplicably.

No one can say what will happen next, not to mention that Alexander does not remember what happened between Chasan and Gonzalo, looking at Geoffrey's beautiful face that has been a little distorted by jealousy and anger, a strange thought suddenly flashed in Alexander's mind: this bear kid will not kill Gonzalo de Córdoba and throw him into the Tiber River like he did with his brother.

This absurd thought disappeared in a flash, and Alexander certainly knew that Gonzalo was not Giovanni, not to mention whether Jeffrey had the courage to attack the commander of the front line of the allied forces, and it was estimated that no one under his command would dare to take on this errand.

The arrival of Alexander and Kotschach caused a small commotion at the banquet.

Giovanni, as the master, walked up to greet the palace minister in person, and when he saw Alexander standing with Kotschach, the expression on Giovanni's face was a little richer.

Whether he used Alexander, or later prepared to use him to put Giovanni Sforza to death, Giovanni had always adhered to all the practices of a conspirator, as a member of the Borgia family, he had never felt any guilt for doing so, but now looking at Alexander standing in front of him, Giovanni had doubts about his own approach.

Of course, he did not find it with a conscience, but began to wonder if he had underestimated this Neapolitan too much before, or that he might not be as smart as he had always thought he was, otherwise why would this person have been able to save the day several times?

Giovanni didn't know why, he didn't like the young man in front of him from the beginning, which made him use Alexander, but he was also very wary of Alexander, so much so that he wanted to kill him and Giovanni as soon as he had the opportunity.

But what annoyed him was Jeffrey, last time he was in the city hall, if it wasn't for Jeffrey's sudden jump out of the bad thing, maybe he really pulled both of them together.

Kotzchach was satisfied with Giovanni's courtesy, and although Gonzalo only glanced at him and continued his fragrant tricks, the palace minister was not angry because of this.

At this time, Kotschach had fully resumed the role of the imperial courtier, and he was sleek and never easily showed any words and behaviors that could be grasped by others, so that at this moment everyone around him was impressed by the demeanor of the palace minister, so that no one noticed that Alexander was walking towards Geoffrey, who had always looked ugly.

"Here comes our hero." Jeffrey's face finally improved slightly, he barely squeezed out a smile and raised his glass to Alexander, looking at his arrogant and slightly condescending look, Alexander remembered the scene when he saw him outside the town hall before, maybe he was happy to see Caesar suffer a loss, Alexander thought that Jeffrey looked much cuter at that time.

"I'm not a hero, and wouldn't it be embarrassing to mention those things here?" Alexander tasted the wine in the glass, and he noticed that Geoffrey's eyes drifted to the ladies again, and Alexander followed his gaze, and saw Gonzalo whispering something in Chassan's ear, and Chasan smiled and quietly stuffed something into Gonzalo's hand.

What will it be? The key to the room? In front of the public, this is too open. Alexander pondered maliciously in his heart, and the smile that Jeffrey could barely maintain just now was long gone, and the young prince's lips trembled because of anger, and he looked somewhat pitiful.

"If ......," Jeffrey said viciously, turning his head to Alexander.

"No way!"

Before Geoffrey could say anything, Alexander immediately and decisively refused.

"Do you know what I'm going to ask you to do?" Jeffrey stared at Alexander in annoyance.

"I guess you're trying to get me to kill that Gonzalo secretly, and throw it right into the Tiber, right?"

Seeing Jeffrey's momentarily stunned expression after his mind was exposed, Alexander was almost certain that Giovanni's death must be inseparable from the hapless child in front of him.

Thinking that the young man with an angelic face might have masterminded the murder of his fellow brother, Alexander suddenly felt that Borgia was a cursed family.

"Aren't you going to be able to stop that Gonzalo hero?" Jeffrey seemed to be trying to convince Alexander, "And now the Romans must think that you are doing the right thing before, that the coalition forces are not here to save the Romans, they are here to humiliate us." ”

Or is it to humiliate your Borgia family, Alexander looked at Xia San, who was chuckling and whispering to Gonzalo, and added disapprovingly.

"Maybe I should pay you more?" Jeffrey tentatively said, "I heard that your territory is not rich, maybe I can ask my father to help you, you should know that he will definitely agree." ”

Or give me a glass of wine mixed with canterella when he feasts me after the deed, Alexander secretly despises it in his heart, he thinks that this family is really born conspirators, although Geoffrey's methods are still a little immature, but the method of using others and demagoguery has been learned without a teacher, if he does not know enough about this family, maybe it is really possible to fall for this bear child.

Looking at Jeffrey's serious face, Alexander felt the need to make it clear with this Borgia.

"My lord, I will not forget the help you helped me in the town hall before, and as you said, the Romans should know that I did nothing wrong before, but this is not a reason to attack Gonzalo, he is the commander of the coalition army, and the war with the French is not over yet, if you kill Gonzalo at this time, this is not tolerated by anyone, so please do not have such ridiculous thoughts, I believe that if you tell His Majesty the Pope this idea, you will definitely be reprimanded."

Jeffrey stared at Alexander with an ugly face, originally thought that through the town hall incident, he could make this person his follower, so that at least he would not feel weaker than his brothers, and he thought that this little lord from the Neapolitan countryside would be grateful to Dade if he could become his subordinate, but he didn't expect that this person not only refused to listen to him at all, but even implied that he was naïve.

However, Geoffrey knew very well that Alexander was right, and if he told Alexander VI about his intention to assassinate Gonzalo, it might be more than a reprimand.

Geoffrey looked gloomily at his wife again, and then his expression froze slightly.

Alexander turned his head to see Gonzalo struggling to get out of the skirts of the noblewomen, and was walking in their direction.

People's eyes couldn't help but follow Gonzalo, and when they saw Alexander and Jeffrey standing together, people's expressions were full of speculation and inquiry.

The news of what had happened in the town hall square had already spread, and the open and secret rivalry between the Borgia brothers had finally been made public to the Romans through this incident, which made Alexander VI very angry but helpless, and now seeing the two people of the "town hall incident" standing together, and looking at Gonzalo walking towards them, people could not help but wonder what would happen next.

Kotschach was also watching this scene, but he didn't mean to participate in it at all, and after raising his glass to Giovanni, who was also watching from a distance but not passing by, the palace minister slowly took a sip of wine.

"It tastes good." Kotschach muttered to himself, then continued to look at the three men who were already standing together.

Although they had met once before, it was only when he looked closely at the unarmored man from such a close distance that Alexander noticed Gonzalo's nose bridge, which at first glance slightly ruined his handsome appearance, but added a strange charm to his face.

As if sensing Alexander's attention, Gonzalo raised his hand and touched his nose.

"This is proof of my youthful frivolity, and it is never a good thing to listen to my advice, so don't follow my example."

Gonzalo's earnest appearance surprised Alexander, at this time Gonzalo didn't look like an arrogant general, let alone a playboy who hated being a husband, if he hadn't seen what he had just done to those women, maybe he would be regarded as a respected elder.

"But the man who left me this mark has paid the price," Gonzalo burst into laughter, and in that instant he changed from an elder who taught young people back to the arrogant aristocrat that everyone was familiar with, "I made a big cut in his stomach with a knife, you don't want to see him like that at that time, let you see how miserable that guy is when you look at this knife." ”

As he spoke, Gonzalo pulled out a short knife from the scabbard of his delicate belt, and he skillfully turned the blade to hand the hilt to Jeffrey, and then looked at the blushing bear child with interest.

It was a narrow and triangular assassination blade, and the blade was deliberately sharpened into two rows of grooves near the shield gauntlet, and the cold metallic luster made the terrifying effect of the grooves seem to be even more terrifying, and it was enough to make people tremble and kill with fear.

Jeffrey moved uncomfortably, he didn't know what Gonzalo meant by showing him this terrible weapon, or if he sensed his hostility towards him?

Jeffrey couldn't help but glance at Alexander next to him, and then saw that Alexander's face was also not very good, which made him feel even more uneasy.

Gonzalo didn't seem to notice the unnatural looks of the two people in front of him, and he began to brag about the great achievements of his youth with the short sword, especially when it came to how to kill the guy who broke the bridge of his nose, he even waved the short sword to make all kinds of assassination gestures as he spoke, and for a while the hall was filled with his shouts of "roar haha".

Alexander silently watched Gonzalo swing the dagger in front of him, but his mind was no longer at Gilpitz Palace, but back to a fishing village called Koleche, which he had passed by a long time ago when he had left Caribo.

It was there that he and Kunto were attacked by an unknown source in the middle of the night, and what he remembered very well was that those who attacked them were using the same dagger Gonzalo was wielding now.

Alexander couldn't forget the look on Kunto's face when he saw the dagger.

It was clear that he recognized the origin of the sword.

In Alexander's vague memory, it seems that this style of dagger was once very popular somewhere.

Now seeing the dagger in Gonzalo's hand, he finally remembered the origin of this weapon.

In the Iberian Peninsula around the 15th century, an effective tool was popular among the aristocracy to settle jealousy and neighborhood disputes.

Slotted cone stabbing sword!

This triangular diamond-shaped short sword, with two blood grooves on each side of the sword spine, can easily pierce through thin armor with an inner lining, and the slightly raised sharp part of the end of the blood groove near the gauntlet can easily cut the opponent's throat or kill the enemy by bloodletting even if the grappling cannot be directly pierced.

In short, this is not only a powerful and effective personal weapon, but even cruel and terrifying.

At that time, Kunto must have discovered the origin of those people through the short sword used by the assassins.

Then those people should have come from Castile.

So, does it mean that from the beginning, his so-called "identity" has been exposed?

Thinking of this, Alexander couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
