Alexander's return made Caesar feel a little complicated.

He had hoped to see Alexander as soon as possible, but Caesar's letter surprised Caesar, and although the news that Lucrezia's husband, Giovanni Sforza, had been secretly sabotaging the Borgia plot was nothing new, it was the first time that such evidence had been pointed out.

Caesar was well aware that his father, Alexander VI, had great expectations for this affair with the Sforza family, and he hoped to complete the penetration and disintegration of northern Italian power through his marriage to Sforza, at least to have an ally of sufficient weight in northern Italy.

Giovanni Sforza, however, disappointed Alexander VI, and when Saniro's letter arrived, the Pope even lost his temper over the bad news.

This is why Caesar wrote to Alexander to return as soon as possible, he needed to know more about Sonielo and wondered if Alexander could give him any useful advice if he was to do something to Giovanni Sforza now.

But now, looking at Alexander who suddenly appeared, Caesar's mind changed a little, he didn't want to see this young man so soon, and even had the idea in his heart that "it would be good if he didn't appear again".

Caesar knew that he was thinking this because it had something to do with the woman who had suddenly disturbed him, or rather a girl, who was said to have actually just reached the age of 13.

Thinking in his heart, the gloom on Caesar's face quickly turned to joy, which was one of the reasons for his mixed feelings, because he really wanted to see Alexander as soon as possible.

"My friend, you are coming back very quickly, did you come back on the Pagasus of Greek mythology?" Caesar was a little curious, he remembered that Alexander was with infantry, so he couldn't really rush back to Rome quickly, unless he left the infantry behind, so he looked behind Alexander, and when he saw that there was only a group of Bohemians running all over his body, Caesar couldn't help but look at Nashan next to him.

Caesar's unusual agility impressed Caesar at this moment, thinking that Sophia swept the city of Rome overnight with the Bohemians, and then thinking that Alexander actually rushed back to Rome in two days, Caesar suddenly felt as if he should get along with Nathan, no matter what the reason, the position of this bohemian suddenly became important in his eyes.

Alexander didn't know that at this moment Caesar was starting to think about digging his corner for whatever reason, he nodded to Caesar and answered his question, running all the way actually made him physically and mentally exhausted and almost unable to sit still, but when he saw Nassan, his spirits were lifted, and he said: "I heard that a lot of things happened tonight when I first entered the city of Rome, and I just want to know if Sophia is still safe?" ”

Alexander looked at Nashan when he asked, but his eyes were equally focused on Caesar.

Along the way, he had heard rumors that Sophia had actually stormed Caesar's ranks.

When he first heard the news, he was not only surprised but also worried, and Alexander knew very well that Caesar was not a man of great heart, and in some respects he was not as good as his father.

So Alexander paid close attention to the look on Caesar's face when he asked this, but what made him feel a little strange was that Caesar's expression was a little inexplicable, and when he heard Sophia's name, he neither showed anger nor pretended to ignore it, but quickly flashed a smile of relief.

This made Alexander's heart rise a trace of indescribable discomfort, he was not worried that Caesar would show his hatred for Sophia because of being offended, not to mention that the current Caesar Borgia is not the terrifying Duke of Poison, even if he is now the commander of the Papal States in Italy, Alexander will not give up his protection of Sophia because of his power.

But what's going on with his expression now?

Alexander was pondering Caesar's strange appearance when Nathan's words interrupted his thoughts: "Is Sophia still safe, I am wondering about this now, you gave her a suit of armor, I used to think it was a good idea, but now I think it's terrible." As he spoke, Nashan looked at the cavalry behind Alexander, "It seems that you have suffered a lot along the way, so let me go to Sophia, there are many people with her, and she should not encounter any major trouble." ”

When it came to big trouble, Nashan also looked at Caesar, and in his opinion, since Sophia had already caused such a big trouble, he really couldn't think of anything more out of the ordinary that she could do next.

But despite thinking so, the corners of Nashan's mouth showed a smug smile.

He felt that Sophia was not his daughter, even if it was the son of the Pope, what about the noble archbishop, Sophia must have scared this young nobleman a lot before.

"I'll go find Sophia," Alexander pulled the reins despite his physical exhaustion, and he nodded to Caesar, "My lord, I can only report to you tomorrow about the details of this trip, I must go to my wife." With that, he waved to Caesar, "I apologize for Sophia's previous offense to you." ”

Caesar raised his hand, he didn't know if it was a return gift or an acceptance of the apology, and seeing Nathan and Alexander quickly departing with the Bohemians, looking at the whirlwind that was rolling far away, Caesar fell into a short period of contemplation.

The city of Rome was very lively until dawn on this night.

Neither Alexander nor Nathan was clearly as familiar with the city as Caesar, so they had to ask everywhere about the Bohemian cavalry led by Sophia.

Strangely, Sophia and her group of bohemian cavalry seemed to have disappeared suddenly, and there was no news.

It was only then that Ulliu cautiously told him about Joanna's injury, much to the surprise of both of them!

Nashan almost pulled out a knife and slashed Uliu on the spot, although he was somewhat utilitarian to Joanna, but the nature of loving women in his bones made Nashan still very obsessed with Joanna, especially the little reserve of the new widow and the hidden and imprisoned by the dark mourning clothes, but once it was triggered, it was extremely surging passion, which fascinated Nashan.

"I should have hung you right now," Nathan yelled at the Moors, pointing to the nearest pole, "Look what you idiot has done, two women, only two women, you can't control them." ”

"Is Joanna's injuries serious?" Alexander asked in a low voice, the incident that allowed Joanna to leave the Potico Palace and live in the Marino Palace happened after he left, but he obviously could not use this reason to shirk responsibility, and when he thought of the various challenges that Joanna might suffer because of his injury, he must know what happened as soon as possible, "You said that the person who carried out the assassination came out of the secret passage with Priest Farne?" ”

Alexander quickly grasped the crux of the matter.

The Marino Palace was the residence that Cardinal Monteiro had arranged for Joanna, and now the Assassins were able to enter the Marino Palace through a secret passage to assassinate the Queen of Naples, and immediately after discovering the secret passage, the Farnes priest suddenly appeared, invisibly interrupting the pursuit of the Assassins.

Alexander pondered these events, which could not be described by coincidence, and wondered if he could use them to escape the passivity of Joanna's assassination at Marino Palace.

However, the immediate priority is to find Sophia, and Alexander is worried that Caesar's desire to repay will not let Sophia go easily, which is why he immediately went to Sophia before he could say a word after meeting Caesar, and he must protect Sophia before Caesar takes revenge.

Strangely, Sophia was nowhere to be found.

Alexander is not worried that Caesar has already made a move, because even with Caesar's character of taking revenge without overnight, it is too late to take revenge, so where is Sophia?

Alexander, who had no choice, had no choice but to find someone separately with Nashan, and after going around the city, and even after running to the Tiber River Bridge and causing a commotion among the Vatican guards blocking the bridge, in the early hours of the morning, when it was already dark, Alexander finally met a servant who had come out of the Marino Palace and was looking for him everywhere.

When he heard that Sophia, who had returned from a night of looting, had returned to Marino Palace, Alexander immediately hurried back.

When he was still far away from Marino Palace, Alexander had already heard an unusual commotion, which sounded like he was at the vegetable market, which made Alexander feel strange and a little worried, and when he came to the palace to see what he saw, Alexander felt a little confused.

The open space at the entrance to the Marino Palace is not large, and if it were not for the fact that it happened to be at a T-junction, this front door could only be described as narrow.

Now, in this small open space, a large group of people of different clothes and identities were blocking the two closed doors of the Marino Palace, some of them were filled with righteous indignation, some beat their chests, some wept silently, some were blind, some of them were too emotional, if it were not for the row of bohemians who looked like ruthless characters in the doorway, they would have rushed up and smashed the door.

"What's going on?" Alexander whispered to the strange-looking servant next to him.

"My lord, this," the servant looked at Ulliu, who was beside him, "these people are here to ask for something." ”

"Something?" Alexander vaguely guessed something, and he also looked at Ulliu, who looked a little embarrassed, "What's the matter?" ”

The Moorish man was stunned and pulled the corners of his mouth and said, "I think it was the lady who robbed these people's things, no, not the people who robbed them, but the people who robbed them." ”

Alexander thought about it, and then understood what was happening.

Needless to say, this is black eating black, and Sophia became a thug who robbed the thug.

And these guys, who were as well-behaved as sheep when they were robbed before, actually wanted to get their things back from Sophia at this time.

Alexander did not stop, he walked towards the gate of the Marino Palace, and Ulliu, who was next to him, had already waved back, and as the Bohemians quickly crossed Alexander on both sides, and when those who noticed the strangeness came to their senses, Alexander had already passed through the crowd under the protection of the light cavalry and came to the gate of the Marino Palace.

"Wait a minute!" A man shouted from a distance away from the Bohemian cavalry, "You are Cambrai, I know it is you, your woman has taken my things, you must give them back, or I will tell all the Romans that you instructed that bitch, you are the one behind the riot last night." ”

The man's cry immediately echoed a crowd of people who didn't care if what they said was true or not, they just wanted to make Gombray, who had "instructed him to rob herself," compromise out of fear.

Alexander, who had just walked up the steps, stopped, first turning his back to the men and muttering slightly, before slowly turning around.

"Who told me to give him something back?" Alexander was not angry at the shouts of the men, and he asked in a calm tone, his eyes sweeping over the crowd.

The shouting people fell silent for a moment, and their eyes involuntarily looked at a tall, thin man in front of them, dressed in gorgeous clothes.

The man seemed a little nervous, too, but when he saw the group of people around him, he became bold again.

He pushed away the bohemians in front of him and took two steps forward to stand in front of everyone.

"I am ......"

The man was barely able to speak, but was interrupted by Alexander raising his hand.

"What did you just say?" Alexander asked.

"I, I want my things back, yes, I want to get back the property that belongs to me." As soon as he said this, the man's tone hardened.

"I'm asking you what you just called Sophia." Alexander continued to ask.

The man's face showed uneasiness, and he was about to open his mouth to say something, but before he could speak, Alexander had already turned away, and when he turned around again, he already had a musket in his hand that had been pulled out of the belt of the hunter next to him!

Unswipe the hammer and pull the trigger!

In an instant, the gunshots roared and the smoke spewed!

The man had fallen on the steps, his chest was covered with blood, his body was convulsed, and the blood gushing out of his heart that had been shot through his heart was rapidly draining his life until he could no longer move.

The new flintlock pistol, named by Alexander in the Saniro style, has completed the mission of killing for the first time!

"I will give you back the property that belongs to you," Alexander said to the crowd who were already stunned by his recognition of murder, "but I will never tolerate a woman who insults me, and I will not give him a chance at a fair duel, because the duel is only to preserve my own honor, not the punishment he deserves." ”

As he spoke, Alexander's gaze swept over the crowd again, and no one dared to look at him again.

"As for your property, I want you to think clearly, if it weren't for Sophia, you might be destitute by now, so don't expect to get all your money back, that's what you should pay."

With that, Alexander ignored the stunned people at the sight before him, turned and strode into the open door of the Marino Palace.

In a window on the second floor of the Marino Palace, Nashan, who was watching the scene below, shrugged his shoulders with his arms crossed.

Noticing movement behind him, he turned his head to look at Joanna, who looked uneasy on the bed because of the gunshot.

"It's okay my queen, it's a bastard who is angry with his wife," Nashan walked over to comfort Joanna, but then he pouted again, "Speaking of which, this kid is really daring, but I like it." ”

Outside Sophia's room, Alexander rested his head lightly against the door.

He hadn't been away for a long time, but he felt as if he hadn't seen the girl he loved for too long.

Just downstairs, when a servant told him that the man he had killed was a relative of the Farne family, Alexander simply smiled.

He didn't regret killing that man.

As he said, if that person is given a fair chance to duel, even if he wins in the end, what he actually maintains is only his own so-called dignity as a man.

Even the duel itself was an insult to Sophia, because it meant that he acquiesced to the title full of contempt and insult.

As for saying that it was the Farnes, Alexander didn't care.

Julia Farne was indeed the favored mistress of Alexander VI and was even called the bride of Christ, but she was not a Borgia after all.

Even if it's a Borgia?

Alexander had a hunch that his brief honeymoon with Caesar would also come to an end as he returned to Rome.

With this in mind, Alexander gently pushed the door open.

Immediately, he couldn't help but be stunned because of the scene in front of him.

Although he already knew that Sophia had saved Barentia de la Rovere, looking at the two people hugging each other and falling asleep soundly on the bed, Alexander instantly felt that something was wrong with this style of painting.
