Unbeknownst to him, the monk was in a great crisis, and that she was not as relaxed as she seemed to be wandering around the market with Barondi, or rather she was a little worried.

As for Alexander's current situation, Barendi is not optimistic.

The details of Oral's victory were unclear, but Shosha could imagine that it must have been tragic, as the merchant who brought the news had a bloodless look on his face when he spoke of the horrific cannon fire.

Moreover, she was not a noble lady like Lucrezia or Barendi, she was not only fond of weapons but also participated in battles herself, so she knew very well that the battlefield was not as romantic and beautiful as the noble ladies thought, or as some knights dressed up to seduce women described.

However, what really worries Josa is that according to her guess, Alexander should be marching towards Montina at this time, and it seems that this is what he should be able to do, because only when Montina declares his inheritance can he play a role as Count Montina in the future.

But it was precisely because of this that Jisha began to worry about Alexander's current situation.

Barondi was not in much of a mood to continue hanging out with Josha, she felt that she couldn't see through this future sister-in-law, and she didn't know if she was too careful, she always felt that Josha cared too much about Alexander.

It's just that there is such a strong affection between half-siblings, which makes Barendi feel a little incredible, and then she wonders if there is something in it that she doesn't know yet.

Barentine felt that she loved Constantine, but she wasn't so excited that Constantine had done something that was quite revealing, and she looked as if she had done something remarkable.

This made Barendi feel that there was only one reason why Zha was like this, and that was that she would definitely get something out of it.

Just like Josha's inexplicable affection for Lucrezia, Barendi felt that there must be a reason for this.

Could it be that there is a deal behind the Modillo family and the Borgia family?

This thought made Barendi lose the mood to continue lounging, and she decided that she had to tell her father this conjecture, after all, now they were not only counting on the Modillo family to help in the competition for cardinals, but more importantly, to try to destroy the Borgia family and the Neapolitan royal family again, if Modillo suddenly changed sides at this time, it would not only be bad for them, but even a disaster.

After all, the Genoese army of nearly 8,000 men was still near Montina, and if the Borgia knew that they were still sabotaging their marriage to Naples behind their backs, no one could have imagined what the Borgia would do.

Just when Barendi wanted to find an excuse to say goodbye, Jisha had already opened her mouth first, so the two people who had barely been together said goodbye to each other, and then left in a hurry.

Because of some anxiety, Jisha didn't notice that Massimo didn't follow, in fact, even if he did, he wouldn't care much.

When Josa came to Marino Palace, Ulliu had already received the news, he was waiting at the door early, and when he saw Jossa hurriedly walked up and saluted respectfully, he talked about the excitement of seeing Mademoiselle Countess after a long absence.

She was still satisfied with Uliwusha, she knew that this Moor was very intelligent and knowledgeable, and even if she looked back carefully, she could find that the Moors seemed to have contributed a lot to Sophia's escape.

Although his original intention was probably only to promote Alexander and Barondi, it didn't matter, as he believed that if he was smart enough, he should know whose side he should be on in the future.

"Your room is ready," Uliuu followed Tsusha into the door, and then he lowered his voice slightly, "Miss, allow me to remind you that Her Majesty is inside. ”

There was a slight pause at the feet of Josa, she was the Count of Cosenza, so the former queen of Naples was her monarch.

It was very inconvenient to live in the same house with a monarch, and even more so if the couple were two women, but Josha didn't care much about this, she just wondered how Joanna had been living in Marino Palace.

Although she is no longer the queen of Naples, isn't there a better place to live as Joanna?

As if seeing Tsusha's doubts, Uliu hurriedly whispered, "That's the case, Her Majesty the Queen is very close to that Nashan, that is, Sophia's father, so she will stay here." ”

For a moment, she looked at Uliu, who seemed to understand something.

Shosha was 18 years old, and she was smarter than many girls her age, not to mention that she had a mother of her own, so of course she could hear the meaning of the Moorish words.

But then the golden eyebrows of Josha furrowed slightly, and she remembered that Sophia again.

A girl who was only 13 or 14 years old could charm Alexander like that, and it seemed that this bohemian family was not so easy to deal with.

Thinking in her heart, she walked through the corridor to the hall, and when she saw Joanna sitting in a chair with an indifferent expression, she slowly walked over and bowed slightly.

Joanna knew that Josa would come, so she had been waiting in the hall, she had planned to wait in her room for the countess to come to see her, but out of caution she did not take this risk, after all, if the other party deliberately refused to come to see her, then she would not only be embarrassed, but it would not even be possible for her to continue to stay in Marino Palace.

Joanna now needs Alexander's support, which is why she also supports Alexander's marriage to Barentia, and she needs forces from the Vatican to help her maintain the influence of Napoli.

However, Joanna was also sensible, she knew very well that she was only the "former" queen now, and after enjoying the respectful greeting from Josha, she took the initiative to leave her room and leave the identity of the hostess to Josha.

"That woman, I mean that Sophia, which room does she live in?"

Suddenly, Zhosa asked Uliu.

The Moors were stunned for a moment and then quickly pointed to a door, and when they saw Jisha frowning slightly and looking at the door of the next room, the Moorish heart skipped a beat.

"I think the other room must be my brother's." Quietly, she pushed open the door to Sophia's room.

The room is cleaned fairly clean, but it is a little messy, from the couch that looks dishonest and leans in the center of the room to the small table placed at the head of the bed, it can be seen that the owner of the room lives a very casual life, or simply a mess without any rules.

Seeing an empty wooden shelf on the ground on the other side of the bed, Jisha walked over with great interest, she stretched out her hand, stretched out her palm downward, measured the top of the wooden frame with her palm, and then stood on tiptoe slightly to compare with the top of her head.

"She took her armor with her?"

"Uh, yes, Miss." Uliu barely managed to maintain an embarrassed smile on his face, and he secretly prayed in his heart that Miss Count's curiosity would not be any longer, or else she might be in trouble.

However, Ullius was clearly not religious, so Tsusha's gaze quickly fell on the wall behind the wooden frame, which was blocked by thick curtains.

The curtain was a little new, and it seemed to have been specially decorated to hide something, which could not but attract the attention of Jisha.

She first gently pulled down the edge of the curtain, then looked back at Ulliu, whose face was already a little wrong, and then suddenly pulled hard!

With a "poof", the curtain fell to the corner, revealing a blocked door.

"I see."

Jisha turned back again and glanced coldly at Uliu, then reached out and nudged.

Unexpectedly, the door did not open, and when I pulled it into my arms again, the door still did not move.

Visa frowned slightly, and she bypassed Ulliu to the door of Alexander's room next door, and opened the door and walked in the bewilderment of several servants beside her.

Alexander's room was bright and tidy, except for a few books that seemed to be read frequently, and a stack of letters on the table aroused Zhusha's curiosity.

She noticed that the letters had apparently been carefully sorted and tied with different silk ropes, and when she saw a bundle of letters tied with a golden ribbon, she picked them up and flipped them without hesitation.

Sure enough, it was all a letter she wrote to Alexander.

The golden ribbon was like the intoxicating long golden hair of Jisha, and Jisha couldn't help but gently caress a soft strand of hair hanging from her ear.

Ulliu secretly noticed a hint of tenderness on Josha's face, he thought it should be a good opportunity, so he walked over and whispered to Josa about Alexander's affairs in Rome, of course he wisely chose those things that had nothing to do with Sophia, but he soon found that the Countess knew much more than he thought.

"I heard that my brother once shot and killed a man from the Farner family because of that woman," Zhisa called Sophia whenever she spoke of her, and deliberately looked at Sophia's age. ”

Ulliu nodded helplessly, he knew that since Jisha asked so, he must have known very well, maybe even what insults the person said at that time caused Alexander's murderous intentions.

"Mistress of the Pope," said Jossa muttered under her breath, sounding like she was complaining about something, but then she became interested in the musket on a long wooden rack that was also placed in the other corner of Alexander's room.

Some of the muskets were ready to use with just a reload, while others were half-finished and there was a pile of parts on the table next to them.

Picking up a petal-like part from the table, she thought for a moment that she remembered when she was in Naples that she had seen Alexander make a few of these small things from a watchmaker, but they were not many because they were expensive.

"Your Excellency has been altering these muskets."

Uliu walked over and skillfully picked up one from the shelf and showed it to Jisha, who took the loaded musket from Uliu's hand and looked at it, and soon saw that there was a petal part installed behind the medicine pool, and tried to push it gently, and a crisp "click" sound could be heard.

"The adults wanted to make these guns more convenient, but it seemed to cost a lot of money to do so, so they only made a few before they left Rome." Uliu said with some regret.

"Oh."

Ulliu's noncommittal appearance made Uliuu nervous, and he cautiously followed him around the room until he came to the wall across the door from Sophia's room.

Alexander's side also had a new curtain on the wall, and seeing that someone was well prepared, he looked at Ullius again, and then gently pulled up the curtain to reveal the door.

Seeing a large lock on the door, Shosha looked at the Moors again.

"This is what the adults asked me to put on," Ulliu immediately argued, "that is, it was installed after Sophia left." ”

Josha nodded, she could probably feel the pressure, but that didn't mean she supported Alexander.

"I'm going to write a letter to my brother." As she spoke, she went to the table and sat down, picked up a repaired quill and dipped it in ink and began to write on the letterhead.

Uliu stood helplessly, he didn't know how to stop Tsusha's mistress style.

Although there was nothing wrong with saying that Alexander's sister was the mistress, Ulliu had to admit that he not only felt strange when he saw Jossa sitting there writing letters, but also had a certain unspeakable uneasiness in his heart.

By this time Josa had already written quickly on the letterhead: "My dear brother, although I am proud of your victory, I am a little worried about your present situation, and I think that Montina is too great for you now, and if I wish you were in Agri or Kosenza at this time, then perhaps I would not be so worried." But now that you've decided to become the Count of Montina, my only option is to support you, and believe me, I've brought you a lot this time, enough to help you achieve your dreams, and that's why I'm here in Rome. ”

"Tell me why you came to Rome, and what do you know?"

A voice echoed in the monk's ears, and Massimo stared blankly at him, feeling a little pain in his face, when in fact his face was so swollen that he could not open his eyes.

A figure blocked the light, and Massimo could tell it was Connieo from the blurred shadows and voices.

"I thought you were a slipper," Connie looked down at the monk, "you've always been a slipper, lying and bragging, and you're a woman everywhere, but I didn't expect you to be so loyal to your master, I have to admit that you are brave, but now you have to pay the price for your bravery and loyalty." ”

"No, I'm not brave, I'm not loyal," Massimo argued with sweat on his head, "I really don't know why that countess came to Rome, haven't you been with us since Taranto, you should know that it was all her own sudden decision, when we should have entered the port of Naples, but the countess suddenly decided to come to Rome." ”

Massimo was about to cry, he really regretted why he was so curious, and why he didn't greet Jisha in advance, he must not have doubted that these people would kill him.

The Tiber River seemed not far away, and the thought that he might be stoned or put in a barrel and sink to the bottom of the Tiber River made Massimo feel like it was about to collapse.

"That countess doesn't seem to be easy, and even the most trusted people around her don't know the purpose of her coming to Rome."

A man's voice startled Mahimo came from him, and he remembered that it was the man who had knocked the servant unconscious.

"But I know she's here for that Gombray," Connie said hesitantly, "I can't say, but I've always found their brother and sister a little strange." ”

The man stretched out his hand and motioned to take Massimo aside, he was not really interested in the monk who had suddenly appeared, but rather in the Alexander who had been mentioned by Connie all along.

"Okay, tell me who you said you were asking about."

Interrupted by the presence of the monk, Connie still hasn't said who she wants to inquire about.

"A young man, who may not have been important before, but now he is important," Connieo said, glancing at Massimo in the corner of the room, "I have to go back to that Countess, now that Gombray is the Count of Montina and is at war with the Milanese, I think this is a good opportunity, so I can't leave that Countess yet." So get rid of this nasty guy. ”

Hearing Conio's words, Massimo's swollen face like freshly baked bread trembled with fear, and he wanted to open his mouth to speak, but his mouth was immediately blocked, and he watched the servant before him pull out his short knife and look at his master, just waiting for him to give an order to do it, and Massimo could only make a pitiful muffled sound of "woo" from his mouth.

"Kill him." The man commanded casually.

Massimo let out a muffled cry of despair, and he saw the light that slashed, which made him feel that the Grim Reaper had swung its scythe at him.

"Wait a minute."

An abrupt woman's voice suddenly came from the door of the room that Mahimo couldn't see, and he saw that the eyes of several people in front of him were looking in the direction of the door, and then he saw the man have a surprised look on his face.

"Madam, I didn't expect it to be you." The man walked past the frightened monk to the door, and at the sound of footsteps, Massimo, who was pressed to the ground with his head downward, suddenly saw a corner of his skirt appear in front of him.

He wanted to look up but was pressed very tightly, until he heard the woman in front of him say "let him go", and then he felt a relief on his body.

The monk slowly raised his head, and then was stunned to find that the woman who suddenly appeared was not unfamiliar.

"Monk, it seems that God has arranged for me to save you," Lady Oljara smiled as she looked at Massimo, who still looked terrified, "I have just met your master, I mean Count Montina, who has helped me a lot in Rome. ”

"Oh......"

Massimo nodded dumbfounded, he knew that he would probably survive, but Orgara's words about Alexander's help to her made the monk's ears twitch.

"As for your lady," Orgara turned to look at Conneo, "I know who you are and who he is, but I would like to remind you that someone other than you is also asking about him, and will be coming to Rome soon." ”

Orgara's words made Connieo's face change instantly, and the anger that had been revealed by Connie's stop disappeared, and a trace of uneasiness appeared on her face.

"Go back to your mistress," Orgara said to Massimo, "and tell her that I will visit her soon, and perhaps I will ask for her help." ”

Massimo nodded, knowing that this place was not a good place to stay for long, dragging his painful body out of the door, and then quickly disappeared into the crowd.

"Who are you and why are you doing this?"

Connie looked at the man next to him, who had been silent since Olgala appeared, and completely acquiesced to her letting Mahimo go, which made Connie Ou feel uneasy.

But what really cared to her was what Orgala had said to her.

"You said someone else was looking for that person, who was he, and how do you know who I'm looking for?"

"We know who you're looking for, but I can tell you who is looking for him, that person's name is Ashulk, and he is now the emissary of the Ottoman Sultan."

Hearing Orgala's words, Connie's originally unsightly look finally changed completely!
