Chapter 153: The July Sun, Something Else
De Charlon looked at Caesar sitting across from him with a gloomy face, because the room was dark, and he needed to squint his eyes slightly to see the face in the shadows.
"So, I was betrayed by you?" Sharon asked coldly.
"I'm sorry, knight, but we all know that Gombray won't hurt you." Caesar raised his hand and made a disapproving gesture, "He may be angry, but he won't be stupid enough to offend you, so you're safe." ”
"But I think being betrayed is what makes me even angrier," Scharon stood up and walked over to Caesar and stared at him, "what are you thinking, actually stealing his woman from that Gombray's hands." ”
"Lucrezia is not his woman, she is a Borgia, my sister!"
Caesar looked excited, his eyes fixed on Sharron in front of him.
"If you bring Lucrezia back to Rome, what are you going to do next?" Sharron asked suddenly.
"If that's the case, I'll let Cambrai know the cost of offending the Borgia family," Caesar shouted angrily, then put his hands in his hair and scratched it twice, "I don't know how he found out, this man makes me feel a little scary sometimes." ”
"If you could get along better with him, I don't think things would have been so bad," said Scharron, as he walked towards the door, pausing to Caesar, who was always annoyed, and said, "If I were you, I would try to be friends with this man, and you have made him your enemy." ”
"No!" Caesar said angrily, "I can't be friends with Gombray, we can't be friends in this life, we will only be enemies, and the moment he snatched Lucrezia from me, it was doomed that only one of the two of us would remain in this world." ”
Charron looked at Caesar in astonishment, he didn't understand why Caesar was so excited and so hostile to Alexander, but he wasn't interested in it.
Charlain was concerned about what effect the conflict between Caesar and Alexander would have on the imminent invasion of France.
Charlon knew that the Duke of Orleans had been secretly following the situation in Italy a few years ago, and it could even be said that he was more familiar with these city-states than Charles VIII, and because of this, Charlon was sent to Rome as an envoy as an envoy, but it was obvious that Louis XII seemed to trust the Fiche next to him more, and because of this, Charlon guessed that Caesar should know that Ficher had arrived in Rome, so he would use him as a bait.
"Damn Borgia." Charlon walked up the steps out of the castle.
It was a fortress near the southeast corner of the city of Pisa, where the Arno River made a small bend that made the terrain a little steep, and the early Pisan people built it here as a defense against Florence.
"Knight, I don't agree with what you say," Alexander appeared on the road leading to the bottom of the fortress, looking up at Sharron, Alexander smiled, "You must know that the woman I love is a Borgia, do you think Lucrezia is damned too?" ”
"Forgive me for my gaffe," Charron replied good-naturedly, and then he gave way to the pressure that had already come to him, "so you have come to see that relative of yours?" ”
"No, I'm here to meet you," Alexander made an inviting gesture as he turned and walked down the aisle with Scharron, "I don't think it's necessary to see Caesar, I can imagine how much he hates me, so I don't need to go to him." ”
Sharron chuckled softly, he didn't expect the two men to be quite similar in this respect, and it was clear that as Caesar had said, the enmity between them really seemed to be eliminated only if one person remained in this world.
"Count, I've heard Master Ficher say you've been old friends before, haven't you?" Sharon asked as he walked.
"Yes, in Sicily, to be exact, when Master Ficher traveled to Sicily with one of his pupils, and we had dealings there." Alexander replied quietly.
Sharron nodded and didn't say anything more, which made Alexander a little strange, although Fiche should not have known the Duke of Orleans to sneak into Sicily in disguise to sabotage this kind of thing, but it seems that even Charlon didn't know about it, which made Alexander feel that things were a little unexpected.
For Louis XII, who was still the Duke of Orleans at the time, it was a bit too absurd for a person of his status to go to such great lengths and even risks to invade enemy land.
Because as the most important member of the French royal family, the Duke of Orleans is noble and sensitive.
Born of noble birth and as a side branch of the Valois dynasty closest to the lineage, once the heir of the lineage must inherit the identity of the French throne, so that the Duke of Orleans has the special status of the invisible heir to the throne, such a status is destined to attract people's attention at any time.
This status also makes him not take such a risk so easily.
But the Duke of Orleans infiltrated Sicily, ruled by the king of Aragon, who was at war, and even penetrated into the royal palace of Sicily, which was something that Alexander never understood.
Now it seems that even Charlain may not know what the Duke of Orleans did in the first place, which makes Alexander wonder what kind of secrets the French, or rather the Duke of Orleans, have in Sicily.
As a result of Caesar's adventurous actions, Charlon's trip to Pisa apparently had to end early.
Although not many people knew, the news spread quickly.
Caesar's kidnapping of Lucrezia's mother and daughter surprised the Pisan people and secretly frightened.
They knew very well that Pisa could not be compared with Florence, which could compete with the Vatican for many years and still be safe, but Pisa was just a small ant, and the thought of being an enemy of the Pope made many Pisa people panic because of panic.
There were more people around Tomneo, and these Pisaans, who had been just watching the situation, gathered around Tomneo at this time, and they began to whisper about what had happened recently, and what seemed to be the relationship between Alexander and the Pope that was getting worse and worse.
Even though there had been a direct conflict between the two sides in Livorno, many people still had illusions about Lucrezia's pregnancy, but Caesar's attempt to plot to kidnap Lucrezia made people realize that the relationship between the Borgia family and Alexander may not be so easy to reconcile.
At the same time, the mysterious cause of death of Lucrezia's first husband, Giovanni Sforza, was also brought up.
The thought of the inexplicable death of even Giovanni Sforza, who was the legal husband, began to wonder how much Alexandria could have in the minds of the Borgia family, even if he already had a daughter.
Tomneo was delighted, knowing that there were all sorts of rumours going on outside, which were clearly not good for Alexander, and which would certainly affect his control of Pisa.
Tomneo felt that this was clearly a precursor to the impending punishment of the usurper that God had heard his prayers.
The duke, who had always seemed disheartened, suddenly became active, and he began to frequently meet with people he had previously either wanted to see or did not want to see.
And whenever he receives a response from a person, he will happily jump around alone in his room, which is not very large.
What puzzled people a little was that Alexander ignored Tomneo's actions.
De Charlon took his leave of Pisa two days later, and during these two days Alexander had a secret conversation with him, and no one knew what was being discussed because there was no one else in the premises.
Sharron went to visit Caesar again as he left, but this time only to say goodbye.
To Sharlon's surprise, he didn't know if he knew that he wouldn't be in any danger, or if he was otherwise sure. Caesar was not at all worried about being in prison.
However, looking at Caesar's careless appearance, Sharron couldn't help but feel a little pity for the pope's son.
He remembered the conditions that Alexander had asked him to convey to the Pope: "to publicly recognize and bless the succession of Estles, and at the same time to declare the permanent recognition of the Duke of Pisa as a candidate for the succession of Lombardy." ”
With Giovanni's death, Caesar Borgia was now Alexander VI's only hope, and that hope was now Alexander's prisoner once again.
Perhaps Alexander would not have harmed Caesar, but that did not mean that this successive setbacks did not damage Caesar's prestige, which had not yet been erected.
It's hard to imagine a man who has been taken prisoner again and again to convince others, and Caesar is now Alexander VI's greatest aid to his ambitions.
Charlain believed that the Pope would agree to this condition, and there was no doubt that no chamberlain was more important than rescuing Caesar, especially at this time, when Alexander VI needed someone he trusted to be by his side as the French were about to invade again, to help him cope with the situation that could change at any time.
Caesar, of course, did not know that Alexander had sold him for a good price, and his only resentment was that Alexander would not allow Lucrezia to visit him.
So when he met Charlon, he immediately couldn't wait to ask for news about Lucrezia.
Caesar was relieved to hear that Alexander had not punished Lucrezia for absconding, and that although he was not worried about his own safety, it did not mean that he could endure such a life of captivity.
"Cambrai will let me go back eventually," Caesar said with some resentment, "it reminds me of what happened in Livorno, and I must admit that it is frustrating, but if he thinks that he will humiliate me in this way he is wrong, and it will only make me want to prove myself more." ”
Looking like Caesar in a cage, Sharron felt some kind of danger.
But then there was another strange thought, if the person in front of him was a beast that could hurt and devour people at any time, then that Cambrai was holding a whip to tame this beast tamer.
Along with Charleon, the Medici brothers, whose relationship with the French were delicate, did not want to give up an opportunity to reconcile with the future king of France.
Of course, they would not have imagined that they would produce a French queen in the future.
However, even before leaving, Giulio had not forgotten his whimsical idea, and although the absconding incident seemed to indicate that the relationship between the two Alexanders was obviously not as harmonious as they thought, Giulio still went out of his way to recommend his nephew to Alexander.
And this time Alexander did not completely refuse.
Even if it is not believed that Estelles must marry the son of Piero de Medici, the temptation to become the grandfather of the future Queen of France is still great.
Just think that the future French royal family will have its own bloodline, and a wave of excitement wells up in Alexander's heart.
So when Giulio made that suggestion again, Stress Mountain gave a noncommittal reply after a little contemplation: "It all depends on God's arrangement, do you agree with me when I say so, Lord Priest?" ”
Looking at Alexander, who turned his head to ask himself, Giovanni de Medici smiled and nodded.
And when they had gone far away, Giovanni suddenly asked his brother: "What do you think, it is clear that the relationship between the Count of Montina and the Pope is not good, and perhaps when Caesar regains his freedom, war will break out between them again, and that is why do you insist on bringing it up, knowing that Piero may not agree to this marriage." ”
"Ha, Giovanni, do you think I'm a fool?" Julio laughed out loud, "We don't need to make a bet and see what happens next." ”
Giovanni de Medici stared at his brother for a moment, then shook his head slowly, "No, I won't bet you on the same reason. ”
"Huh." Giulio laughed again, then he looked back in the direction of Pisa City and said in a funny tone, "I've noticed that Tomneo has suddenly become younger during this time." ”
"Well, you know, he even invited us to a banquet before," Giovanni de Medici nodded, "I have to say that this Tomneo is the most annoying guy I've ever met, but his tragedy is not annoying, it's stupidity." ”
"Yes, that's stupid." Giulio echoed.
The Medici brothers gradually disappeared on the road as they talked, and in Pisa, Alexander still took care of "his territory" unhurriedly.
Finally, as the July sun brought plenty of sunshine and rain to Tuscany, a familiar man drove from Rome to Pisa.
Nomelo stood in front of Caesar with a tired face, and he felt that he was about to be driven crazy by this family.
None of the Borgia family is worry-free, and Caesar in front of him is the one who bothers him the most.
"Let me go to France?" Caesar looked at the letter from Alexander VI to him in amazement, and then looked up in disbelief: "Let me participate in the coronation of the Duke of Orleans as an emissary of the Vatican?" ”
"Yes, that's what His Majesty the Pope meant." Nomelo said expressionlessly.
"No, I'm going to go to Rome, and then I'm going to lead the army back, and I'm going to let that Gombray know the consequences of offending the Borgias."
"Well, don't you understand why the Pope let you go to France?!" Nomelo lost his rare temper, "Listen to your father, this is your chance to redeem your honor, and it is also a good opportunity to establish a good relationship with the king of France, listen, this is not your father's order, but the Pope's order!" ”
Nomerlo's words made Caesar look gloomy, but he nodded in agreement.
"To France?"
When he heard the news, Alexander was teasing his daughter, and when he saw that Lucrezia seemed to be listening with some concern, he nodded, "Then we should send Caesar, and you, Lucrezia, should also meet him." ”
Lucrezia showed a happy look, although she had decided to stay with Alexander, but she was still worried about Caesar's safety, and now hearing Alexander's words, Lucrezia's heart finally relaxed.
"As for us," said Alexandre, to Gompati, who had just arrived from Montina, "we should have our business done." ”
