The cheers from inside and outside the Carolingian Palace did not reach the Gilpitz Palace, both from the mutinous Montina Guard and from the large crowd of emissaries and merchants under house arrest in the Carolingian Palace.

It was somewhat strange for both sides to cheer for the appearance of a man at the same time, but for those who had been under house arrest for almost two days, not to mention Alexander, an Ottoman heretic, they would not hesitate to cheer and bless him if they could get them out of this house.

In fact, Ashulk had indeed come to look outside the Carolingian Palace, but the Ottoman obviously did not intend to get involved in this matter, so after seeing enough of the excitement, he went home, and made the people who looked out of the window happy in vain.

According to the results of Alexander's negotiations with the mutinous soldiers, Offleiil withdrew from the Carolingian Palace with the Montina Guard, and Alexander took the opportunity to announce the "truth" of his disappearance for two days to the crowd around him.

According to him, he interpreted the two days as attending a secret Mass in which he was attending alone, in order to pray for the Montina soldiers who died at the Battle of Bucharest and to thank God for his victory over the pagan invasion.

It is unknown how many people believe this statement, but looking at Alexander's "whether you believe it or not, I believe it myself", people can only secretly speculate about his disappearance in the past two days.

However, many people prefer that Alexander actually imprisoned Borgia secretly during these two days, but I don't know for what reason, or what kind of bargain did the two sides make to be free, as for the secret Mass or something, it was just to cover up the ugliness of both sides.

One reason for such speculation is naturally Caesar's sudden return, after all, the whole city of Rome knows that Alexander and Caesar are almost incompatible.

Caesar, who was far away in the Gilpitz Palace, did not see the dramatic scenes that took place in the Vatican, and he left the Potico Palace solely on the orders of his father, Alexander VI.

The Pope strictly ordered not to attack Alexander, which made Caesar begin to be puzzled, but later he was keenly aware of some tacit understanding and conspiracy between the two Alexanders, and then under his repeated questioning, the Pope had to reveal something to him, but this time Alexander VI did not say everything because of his doting son, it was not that he did not trust Caesar, but the Pope himself had to admit that Caesar may be a good military commander, but he is somewhat unskilled in this kind of thing.

He was a little worried that Caesar, who knew everything, would cause trouble and surprise for his next plan because of his self-righteousness, after all, when Alexander revealed his plans for the future, even the Pope was frightened by his audacity and ambition.

So the Pope had to send Caesar out first to avoid the embarrassment of meeting the two, and Caesar chose to meet his sister-in-law, Maria Enriquez de Luna.

Mary was also surprised and even frightened by Caesar's sudden return.

Seeing Caesar's smiling but somewhat gloomy face, Maria de Luna carefully stood up and embraced him, and then, after telling the children to come out to meet their Uncle Caesar, she found an opportunity to send the maid and take the children out.

Caesar was a little unhappy when he saw Mary's cautious actions, he thought that Maria was worried that he would be bad for her children, but he didn't know that Mary was actually worried about something else, but he didn't come to see Mary to be casual and distracted, so after a few small talks, he decided to get down to business.

"When are you going to get Juan back to Gandino?"

Hearing Caesar's question, Mary couldn't help but be surprised.

After Giovanni's death, he and Maria's son Juan Borgia succeeded him to the title of Duke of Gandino, in the presence of his grandfather and cardinals, but because Juan was still too young, Gandino's domain was always managed by the local courtier.

And even if almost 3 years have passed, Juan is only 9 years old at this time, and his sister Francis is even just over 4 years old, which is undoubtedly a very troublesome thing for Maria, after all, if she wants to take care of her son, she must go to Gandino together, but she can't leave her daughter, but Francis is too young, she is not at ease with her child to travel so long.

As for the other reason, which she could not declare, that is, she was reluctant to give up her secret lover.

Or rather, she was a little worried about whether the person would keep the secret of their relationship after leaving.

And what puzzled Mary was why Caesar suddenly brought this up, was it because he had discovered something, and how much did he know?

The barrage of questions gave Maria's face a wonderful look, but Caesar apparently didn't think much of it, and he had come out of pure goodwill and brotherhood for Giovanni.

"Rome may not be at peace, if possible, you should get out of here as soon as possible and go back to Gandino, you all go, so that I can rest easy."

Caesar said with a slightly gloomy expression that he hadn't thought too much about it when he heard that the Montina guards had suddenly occupied Caroling, but then the news that Montina's army had found the Count of Proswan from the Carolingian Palace made Caesar a little worried in surprise.

It was evident that the King of France seemed to have some other plans, and he had no intention of telling Caesar about them, otherwise he would not have sent the Count of Proswan to Rome anonymously, for such a thing would be very discrediting to the French if it was discovered.

This made Caesar a little unhappy and a little worried, he did not know what Louis XII was going to do, and from his observations during his time in France, he felt that no one could compete with the coming huge French army, including Alexander.

Caesar had not seen Alexander's other armies, but he had experienced first-hand what it was like to fight against Montina's army in Livorno, and he admitted that the Montinas were indeed the bravest and most difficult enemies he had ever seen, but far inferior to the French.

What impressed Caesar the most was the cannons of the French, and he even wondered if the cannons of the whole world had been collected by the French, otherwise how could there be so many artillery.

Therefore, Caesar was more confident than anyone else in whether the French would be able to conquer Italy this time, and Sforza could not stop the French, and neither could Cambrai.

"What happened?" Maria de Luna was relieved a little, and although she didn't know what was going on, it calmed her down a little if it wasn't for the discovery of her secret affair with Cadron.

"That Cambrai is back," Caesar said with some incoherent words, and seeing that Mary's expression was not very good-looking, Caesar nodded, "I think Rome may be going to be uneasy because of his return, and a lot may have happened lately, so it would be best if you could go to the territory of Gandino, which is what my father meant." ”

When Maria de Luna's heart skipped a beat when she heard that it was Alexander VI's arrangement, she was afraid of this father-in-law from the bottom of her heart, especially at the thought that he might know his secret, and Maria's face became even more difficult to look at.

The other is that Cambrai.

Maria de Luna will not forget that Alexander VI had arranged for Cambrai to investigate Giovanni's death, and although she did not understand why the Pope wanted him to do it, she knew that everyone, including the Pope himself, suspected that Caesar was the murderer of Giovanni.

But only Mary knew that this was not the case, because she knew very well who had killed her husband.

But this made her even more wary of that Cambrai, because she was not only worried that her affair with Cadheron might be exposed, but also that her bigger secret would be discovered.

Hearing Caesar's sudden mention of Cambrai, Maria de Luna's instinctive wariness made her suddenly think that perhaps it would be a good idea to listen to Caesar and leave Rome as soon as possible.

As for Caderon, although it was a pity to leave that rather interesting lover, it was nothing compared to her own safety, and she also believed that with Caderon's cleverness, she should not be easily discovered, and she would not be stupid enough to show herself.

Thinking of this, Maria de Luna made a quick decision, she thought for a moment of hesitation, then nodded in agreement, and then she seized the opportunity to ask the Combray about his intention to come to Rome, as if consciously or unconsciously.

"I don't know, I don't know much." Caesar replied angrily, this is actually what makes him really unhappy, when he suddenly finds out that he is not so valued, but is excluded by many people, Caesar has an urge and anger in his heart to destroy everything.

However, Maria was no longer in the mood to understand Caesar's thoughts, and she was already thinking about how to leave Rome as soon as possible and return to the Gandino territory far away in Iberia, far away from Gombray, or at least during the time that Gombray was in Rome, she did not plan to stay in Rome again.

It's just that before leaving, she plans to see Caderon again, and in addition to complaining about the pain of parting, she wants to tell the attendant to keep his mouth shut.

Caesar didn't know what Mary was thinking, and he left the Girpitz Palace with a generous gift.

As Alexander VI said, each Borgia had an inseparable affection for his family.

Blockading the Carolingian Palace, cutting off the emissaries of various countries from their own countries, even if it is only for two days, once the news of what happened in Rome is enough to cause a chain reaction that is hard to ignore, even if it is soon corrected, but once the rumor spreads, it will be as uncontrollable as a wild horse.

What's even more terrifying is that what people really care about is often not the truth itself, but the process of spreading rumors.

So Alexander believed that even if someone soon passed on the current state of Rome, it would be extremely difficult to undo the damage caused before.

And this was the result he needed, not only for the Fugols, but also for Alexander's real plans that would be so big that even the Pope would be shocked.

It's just that he didn't expect that this time the Carolingian Palace was occupied by an unexpected catch of a big fish.

When he met Count Garol de Boweken, Alexander couldn't help but think of another French nobleman he knew.

Henri de Charlon, the commander of the French army sent to Rome by King Charles VIII of France, is a Frenchman who seems to be rather eccentric because of his penchant for imitating the Black Prince of England.

But the Count of Proswan was clearly not the same as de Charlon.

The Count was even more arrogant and untouchable, and it seemed that it was not he who had lost his freedom, but the young man opposite him, who was said to have a lot of stories.

Count Garol de Bowicken knew a few legends about Alexander, both on the battlefield and on the love field.

The story of Alexandria and Lucrezia is the most resounded by many French people, and even the court of Louis XII was familiar with their romantic and dramatic tales.

Now seeing the two parties in this love story standing in front of him, Count de Boweken could not help but look at them with great interest.

Then the count couldn't help but admit that if it were him, he would also fall in love with this Roman princess.

As for Alexander, the Earl of Boweken thought he was surprisingly lucky.

"Count, I have no interest in why your men want to occupy the Carolingian Palace, but I remind you that any offense against me will be considered an affront to the French nobility, and I demand the immediate return of all belongings that have been withheld, and that your men have no right to possess them."

Alexander listened quietly to the Count's proclamation, he had little interest in the Count himself, and he wanted to know why he had infiltrated Rome anonymously.

According to Alexander VI, it seems that Caesar did not know the count's intentions, and if the Pope had not lied to him, or if Caesar himself had not lied, then things would have been much more interesting.

Who could have allowed such an important person as the Count of Proswan to come to Rome in person for a secret meeting?

Thinking like this, a figure naturally flashed in Alexander's mind.

Old Rovere, who seemed to be able to meet these requirements, thought that only one of his father-in-law, but just thinking about the delicate relationship between old Rovere and the French, Alexander could not help but feel that things seemed to be becoming more and more complicated and changeable.

"Count, I don't think I can let you wander around for the time being, because you are in Rome, so for your safety, I suggest you be quieter, after all, most of the people here don't have a good opinion of the French."

Alexander smiled at the Count of Provão, he didn't care if the ancestors of the man in front of him had established a dynasty to rule France, and as for his threat, Alexander felt that it was no different from other noble knights who clinged to so-called honor.

The Count of Proswan, apparently surprised by Alexander's blatant threat, looked at the young man with red gold, and then turned his gaze to Lucrezia, who was standing beside him, hoping to discern the true meaning of Alexander's words from the look on the Pope's daughter.

To the Count's disappointment, Lucrezia seemed to be very impatient at this time, although she seemed to be standing there with a solemn demeanor, but there was already a little anxiety in her eyes, although she was well disguised, but it was obvious that her mind did not care at all what the two people around her were saying.

Alexander did not give the Count of Proswan a chance to continue his defense, and in fact, when he heard the news of the count, he quickly made a decision about what to do with the French nobleman, although he was quite surprised.

Lucrezia stood aside and watched Alexander's negotiations with the Frenchman, she was actually a little absent-minded at this time, especially when she remembered Alexander's hint when she left the Potico Palace, she felt a mess in her heart.

It wasn't until Alexander suddenly reached out and grabbed her waist that Lucrezia came to her senses.

"We should go back to Marino Palace at once, and then I promise to spend the whole day with you."

When Alexander finished saying this, he ignored the Frenchman who was stopped by the guards because he still wanted to argue with him, and when he walked out of the Carolingian palace with Lucrezia, he looked at the large number of Roman nobles who had already heard the news and gathered outside, and his gaze swept over the faces of those people with different expressions, and fell on Ofleuil, who was standing nearby.

"Captain," Alexander began, and seeing Ofleiyi salute him, Alexander slowly removed a ring encrusted with a sapphire from his finger, "This is a gift from His Majesty King Ladislas II of Bohemia and Hungary as a token of gratitude for my service to the infidels in Bucharest," Alexander said, handing the ring to Ofleiuil, "and now I present to you this ring, which represents loyalty and bravery, in recognition of your loyalty and bravery." ”

Offrey bowed with a slightly excited expression, then knelt down on one knee to take the ring, knowing that Alexander was doing this to make everyone understand his attitude, and that he would recognize the legitimacy and legitimacy of the Montina Guard's mutiny as the commander of this army.

Watching this scene, there was an immediate uproar in the crowd, and Alexander's actions clearly provoked the Romans, who stared at him angrily, but when they saw the Agri musketeers standing beside him, the people finally chose to remain silent.

"Mercy and cruelty are sometimes the best tools for a ruler to grasp the hearts of the people," Schell, who was standing not far from Alexandria, heard him say slowly, "Kindness can be favored, but cruelty can be feared." ”

Looking at the Roman nobles at the foot of the steps, the corners of Alexander's mouth curled slightly.

He had indeed been so merciful to them that many had forgotten that the man in front of them now not only held a string of honorable titles, but more importantly he was the commander of a mighty army that would be feared by any army of this era.

"We should go," Alexander glanced at a few prostitutes in the distance who were wandering and looking this way, but just as he was about to descend the steps, a figure appeared in front of Alexander who was not surprised by the slight commotion of the nearby crowd.

"You have to come with me now," Constantine della Rovere looked at the brother-in-law with a complicated expression, and when he saw the hand that Alexander was openly holding around Lucrezia's waist, the corners of his brother-in-law's mouth twitched twice before he could barely make his voice sound so strange, "Father wants to see you, and he wants to see you now." ”
