A small piece of peach kernels dipped in honey was stuffed over, and then another piece of snack that was licked greasy, and there was a smile on his face, but he couldn't stand it anymore in his stomach.

The Tuiran Palace is not small in scope and has many rooms, and Alexander is now in his own room.

George Anne insisted that he be admitted to the Tuylan Palace, and that it was very close to her own room.

What's bad is that George Anne is always constantly "harassing" these days, although she knows that this is the reaction that a mother who has lost her son for many years should have, but every time she will suddenly come to the door regardless of day or night, and then she will look at Alexander's face and cry inexplicably, which makes Alexander from a little moved at the beginning, and gradually turns into a headache when he hears a knock on the door.

And I don't know what George Anne thinks, Alexander's previous life was imagined by her own to be a journey of suffering without food or drink for so many years, hungry and cold, and maybe not even knowing what sweets tasted like.

So she had Alexander's room filled with all sorts of pasta, fruit pudding, fish, and all kinds of beef, pork, lamb, quail, hares, and even a half-roasted peacock.

As for the wine, George Anne insisted that Alexander drink a black vine with a unique taste that few people liked, because it was something she had heard of from somewhere, and it would be refreshing.

Although Alexander knew after drinking it for the first time, it must be some kind of hallucinogen.

Anyway, when Sophia walked into Alexander's room, she was really startled by what was happening in the room.

But then she cried out with joy.

Probably girls are irresistible to the temptation of sweets, when eating the first bite of candied grapes, Sophia was so excited that she grabbed Alexander's neck and shook it, and then she grabbed the corner of Alexander's clothes with one hand and began to take out those foods on the table, on the plate, and in any container she could reach, and stuffed them into her mouth, and then stuffed them into Alexander's mouth, and finally she took a big chestnut in her lips and sent it to Alexander's mouth on a whim. It was the chestnuts that were slowly eaten by the two people, and the lips of the two did not separate for a long time after they touched each other.

While doing all this, Sophia's hand was always tightly grasping Alexander, as if she was afraid that he would run away and disappear, and the feeling of the clothes being pulled tightly made Alexander's heart hurt slightly.

He knew that although Sophia seemed to have regained her former liveliness, she was clearly always nervous, as could be seen from her overly sensitive behavior at Madame Olgala's house, and he did not know what Sophia had been through, but he told himself that no matter what he used in the future, he must slowly erase the scar in her heart, and never let her suffer again.

After feeding Alexander a chestnut and getting a long kiss, Sophia seemed to be hooked on the game, and she began to keep sending all kinds of food to Alexander's mouth, and then in exchange for a kiss, and as she played the game tirelessly, Alexander's stomach finally couldn't help but growl.

Sophia mischievously bent down to hear Alexander's belly, when there was a knock on the door.

Sophia moved her right hand habitually, and then she remembered that her baby was not with her, and Alexander looked at the empty belt buckle hanging from her right wrist, and couldn't help but feel guilty.

When he left Sicily, he had promised Sophia happiness, but he had left her alone to face the vicious robbers, and he did not even dare to think about what she would face afterwards.

Alexander wrapped his arms around Sophia's waist, but because she was a little shorter, his hands were on the bulging slopes beneath the mountains, as if he were striking his chest.

The door struck, and Lady George Anne entered, followed by a maid with a large pile of clothes.

Seeing Sophia, George Anne looked a little surprised, probably she didn't expect that the rumored son brought back was actually an underage child. But she was soon relieved, and considering the various quirks of the other nobles, she thought that Alexander seemed much more normal, at least he had brought back a girl.

"Qiao Er, I heard that you brought back a guest," although she didn't like this girl who seemed to be a little wild, George Anne still decided to make her son happy as the first priority, she motioned to the maid to bring all the clothes, looking at Sophia's dress, although it was neat, but the style was too ordinary, the countess frowned slightly, "Let her change into this dress, you must know that the Modillo family can't be said to be stingy." ”

From the moment George Anne entered the door, Sophia was vigilant, although this woman was much older than her or Alexander, but still very beautiful, which made Sophia have a sense of crisis, she remembered what Orgala had said to her before, especially listening to this woman's tone that was not in the same way as Alexander, Sophia's throat began to purr like a wild cat.

Alexander's hand immediately grabbed her hard, and at the same time quickly spoke: "Thank you, mother, I came to introduce, this is Sophia." ”

Sophia looked up at Alexander in astonishment, apparently surprised by what he called the woman.

"Sophia, this is my mother," Alexander tried to put himself into it, although he was always weird at the mention of his mother, "Countess Giorgio Anne of Cosenza." ”

At this, his heart moved, and he bowed his head to Sophia in a "whisper" that could be heard by George Anne: "Remember when we were imprisoned in the dungeon in Sicily, when I told that person my name and surname, which was my mother's mother's family before. ”

"Ah~" Sophia nodded immediately, she obviously remembered the experience vividly, and even trembled slightly when she made a sound, and at the same time she grabbed the corner of Alexander's clothes and followed closely.

"I'm sorry Mother, Sophia...... Can't speak. When Alexander said this, the surprise on the face of Lady George Anne, who was about to speak, became stronger, but then when she heard him say, "Sophia is a bohemia," the countess's expression became strange.

She looked at the pair in front of her in astonishment, and began to feel that her son's interests were a little wrong.

A bohemian woman, no, a bohemian girl to be exact, and she could not begin to speak, and the countess was already feeling a little overwhelmed by this time, and a little regretful that she had come a little rashly.

She looked at Sophia's eyes with a slight contempt, and after casually asking the maid to put down the clothes, she ignored her.

It is evident that in the countess's mind, she has regarded Sophia as some kind of "toy" that Alexander had collected, and she was not in the slightest dissatisfied with her son's actions, but on the contrary was quite happy, because only by considering the absurd and unbridled life of other nobles, the countess felt that his son had finally returned to the mainstream.

"Your uncle wants to see you," said George Anne, "he has heard of what you are doing outside, and is now waiting for you in the 'water room.'" ”

The Countess shook her head slightly as she spoke, and then she walked over and took her son's arm and was about to leave, when she was surprised to find that the girl was tugging at the corner of Alexander's coat.

The Countess asked curiously, "What is she doing here?" ”

"Mother, wait a minute," Alexander turned and patted Sophia lightly on the top of her head, he would never do this before, although he hadn't done anything too much to Sophia because of his young age, but he didn't treat her as a pure child either. But now, perhaps less nervous after finally reuniting with him, Sophia behaved a bit like a child: "Wait for me in this room, I'll be back soon." ”

Sophia didn't make a sound, but shook her head silently, and at the same time tugged down hard at the corner of his clothes, and the surprisingly strong force almost dragged Alexander to his stomach.

He wanted to say more, but when he saw Sophia's big eyes, which had begun to narrow slightly, Alexander immediately closed his mouth wisely.

"I'll take her with me to the Count."

The Countess was a little surprised by the strange behavior between the two men, but she was not in the mood to care about it at this time, she just nodded her head and pulled Alexander towards the door, and asked a little anxiously: "You just said that you were put in a dungeon in Sicily, God, did you suffer a great deal of suffering, why didn't you tell me?" ”

"That's all in the past, don't worry about mother," Alexander tried to pat George Anne's arm comfortingly, but soon found that both arms were occupied, and he could only shrug helplessly, "I guess I wonder if the Count will be angry at what I did before." ”

"Angry, angry!"

Mordillo walked back and forth in the middle of the water room, and he stopped from time to time to glance at the girl standing on the wooden bridge outside the door, because it was far away, he didn't see anything special except for a good figure that stood out from the crowd, but he felt a little headache when he thought about the things he had just heard from Mario.

"You hit Gonzalo's nephew?"

"Just punished him."

"Embarrassed Lady Orgara?"

"That lady has nothing to do with me."

"And bring back such a woman?"

"She's my wife."

"Your wife?" Modillo's eyes widened for a moment, he took two steps and stared at Alexander, and said in a low voice, "Young man, listen, if you want to be a Modillo, then you have to do what I say, your marriage is not up to you, it depends on whether it is in line with my purpose and interests." ”

As he said that, he slowly stepped back, his eyes swept over Alexander's shoulder to Sophia, who was staring at him from afar, and somehow he always felt that the girl looked at him strangely, as if he had seen the cats that were preparing before catching mice.

"She can live here during this time," seeing that Alexander did not raise his voice, Modillo was slightly satisfied, which at least showed that the young man in front of him did not want to rebel against him, "but you had better find a house to accommodate her." ”

Speaking of this, the Count lowered his voice slightly: "Listen to one of my advices, if you want her to stay with you longer, lock her up in the house and don't let her show her face." You must know that many things are bad for women, especially those women who are favored, in addition to spending your money, they will also make trouble for you, so listen to me until the day you get tired of her, you are optimistic about her. ”

The Count glanced at Sophia again, and somehow he felt that the woman seemed to be hostile to him, which made the Count feel a little ridiculous.

Then he looked at Alexander and said in a deep voice, "And then there's the incident where you hit little Córdoba." ”

Speaking of this, the Count rubbed his fingers with some distress and rubbed his tightly knit brow.

"Is it troublesome?"

"Don't you know what Gonzalo de Córdoba means in Naples?" The Count looked at Alexander helplessly, "I heard that you not only pointed a knife at him, but also fired a gun. I really don't understand why you go to a brothel with a gun! Don't you know what kind of man that Gonzalo is, then I tell you, he even dared to be unreasonable to the king, and if he knew that his nephew had been so insulted, what do you think he would do to you? ”

Mordillo said as he puffed back and forth, and when he stopped, he looked at Alexander and closed his eyes helplessly.

Alexander was about to open his mouth to speak, but suddenly his heart froze.

Gonzalo was indeed a figure like the Emperor of Naples, but could Modillo really be afraid of this man?

Although he didn't know much about Modillo, this man was definitely a scheming guy, and it could be seen from the preparation he had laid out the line many years ago.

And thinking about the unsigned letter he had seen before, and his suspicion that the writer was most likely Ferdinand of Aragon, Alexander thought that how could a man who could make a good deal with Ferdinand be so worried about his nephew's lesson to Gonzalo's nephew?

What's more, apart from losing face, that little Cordoba did not suffer any irreparable damage.

So what is the purpose of Modiglo's words, that is, to apologize to that little Córdoba himself?

Or did he just want others to see Gonzalo's authority and domineering behavior in Naples?

Alexander was surprised by the idea that had come to him, but he couldn't think of anything else.

The arrogant little Córdoba and his more domineering uncle Gonzalo only have to listen to the rumors and think about the things he has done before, which conjure up all sorts of arrogance and arrogance.

Such generals may be favored in times of war because of their extraordinary talents, but once the war is over, such people often do not end well.

Alexander looked at Mordillo strangely, he felt that this man was really powerful enough, and he actually started digging a hole for Gonzalo at such a time.

Then he thought for a moment about the fate of the general, who was not very famous now, but who was destined to go down in history and be called "The Great Gonzalo".

Alexander could not help but tell himself that he must be more careful, and that he must not be careless because he now seems to have the trust of Modiglo.

Otherwise, in the future, you may not even know how you died.

Modillo didn't know what Alexander was thinking, seeing that he was silent, the count, who thought he was losing his temper, snorted angrily and said: "Don't think that this is unfair to you, and don't think that with your current reputation in Naples, you can fight that man, you still don't understand what it means to Naples that Gonzalo as a person." ”

"And what does he mean?" Alexander asked, wondering how much influence Modillo had in his mind about Gonzalo, or rather the current Kingdom of Aragon, since when he had arranged for George Anne's affair with Enrique years ago, Enrique's sister Isabella of Castile had not yet married Ferdinand.

So he would never have imagined that in the future, his tricky move would become a dead move almost overnight as the couple forced Enrique to give way to Isabella.

Now, as the general next to Queen Isabella, Gonzalo has become the emperor of Naples, and Alexander is curious to know how Modillo will face this situation.

But at least for now, it seems that the Count is not ready to throw in the towel.

This can be seen from his arrangement of Alexander.

"Gonzalo, Ferdinand of Aragon in Naples, is like the Pope of Rome as the messenger of Jesus Christ on earth," Modillo smiled, and he seemed to be no longer angry, and he was in a better mood, "You must remember that in Naples Gonzalo is more powerful than a king or a duke." ”

"I am Ferdinand's emissary in Naples from Sicily," Alexander shrugged, "I don't think I should bow to that man or his nephew." ”

Mordillo looked at Alexander, as if wondering how much he was joking, and then he nodded and said, "Since you think so, I won't stop you, but remember, never do what you can't do." ”

So saying, the Count walked over to the table and took out a folded crossbow from a box.

The corner of Alexander's eyes jumped at the sight of the crossbow, and his gaze fell on the count's face, paying close attention to his expression.

And Sophia outside the door had already let out a soft "ah" scream.

The Earl, however, did not seem to know the origin of the crossbow, and he fiddled with it curiously, and when he heard the slight hum of the bowstring at the wrench, he placed it on the table.

"This is something that Lady Olgara asked Mario to deliver," the Count looked at Alexander with a smirk, "and they said it was your woman's belongings." ”

As he spoke, the Count looked out the door, and he became a little curious about the girl.

"Remember what I just said to you, your marriage must be approved by me, just as you can become a Modillo now, it's all up to me to decide."

With that, the Count patted Alexander on the shoulder and walked out the door.

But when he and Sophia, who were standing on the wooden bridge, staggered by, the Count seemed to remember something, and turned to Alexander:

"I forgot to tell you that Shosha might be coming."

Alexander's legs went limp, and he nearly fell.
