Prince François was none other than the future King of France, François I, the hapless king who was captured by Charles V. However, in this life, because Marin saved Prince Juan, Charles V had no chance to unite Spain. Even the struggle between France and Spain for supremacy in Italy was nothing more important than that of Charles V. After all, the later Charles V was only the monarch of Austria.

At most, at Marin's suggestion, Maximilian I intended to marry Charles V and Anna of Bohemia, so that Charles V would have a chance to obtain the Kingdom of Bohemia and Hungary in the future. However, the struggle for hegemony in the Italian region, mainly in the Kingdom of Naples, is none of his business.

As for the Duchy of Milan, because of Marin's intervention, Ludovico . The Sforza family is still alive and kicking, and there is no heir. As a result, it was difficult for the Habsburgs to obtain the Duchy of Milan. The most important thing is that without the support of the gold and silver of the Spanish Empire, the Habsburg family of Charles V could not afford to raise so many troops and compete with France for hegemony.

Of course, because of the in-laws, Spain will definitely join forces with the Habsburgs against France in the future. In this way, François I became the king of France, and there was no way to suppress Charles V.

Prince François is 19 years old this year and was born in 1494. The year he was born, Marin had just crossed over, and he was still a wandering knight. In the blink of an eye, 19 years have passed......

François was a branch prince of the Valois dynasty, and his great-great-great-grandfather was King Charles V of France, who was exactly the same generation as Princess Claude. The French aristocracy did not want Princess Claude to marry Charles of the Habsburgs, so they chose Prince François as the husband of Princess Claude and the future King of France in the Valois branch.

However, Princess Claude was born in 1499 and is only 14 years old this year. It is customary for princesses to marry at least 15 years old. So, the royal family has decided to hold a wedding for Prince François and Princess Claude next year.

On this expedition to Italy, Louis XII had planned to take Prince François to meet the world. Unfortunately, Prince François fell ill before the expedition and did not make it in time. After he recovered from his illness, he came to Paris, where he was in charge of the city's defense under the arrangement of his father-in-law, Queen Anne.

When the new official took office, Prince François was naturally excited. Then, in the middle of the night on his first day on duty, he took people out to patrol the night. Then, unfortunately, he met Hansel and his party......

Because of his youthful impulsiveness, Prince François did not take into account that his men were all infantry, and he was the only one on horseback. So, when he rushed out, he distanced himself from the main army and was captured alive by Hansel......

That's the princess's fiancé, the future king of France! The defenders of Paris naturally did not dare to act rashly, but they sent men to bypass Hansel's party and block the gate into the camp to prevent the Tudor Marguerite mother and son from being stabbed.

Hansel didn't care about assassinating Tudor's Margaret at this time, because, Marin had commanded that this assassination would be a success, and it would not be a failure.

Hansel and his entourage then retreated to a sewer exit in the northwest corner of the city with Prince François hostage......

This sewer exit also has an iron gate, and it is covered with heavy iron cables. But this is not difficult for the spies of the Beihai Kingdom, as early as the first night before the attack, this small iron gate was corroded by the spies of the Beihai Kingdom with sulfuric acid, and it was only connected a little bit, so as not to be seen.

Tonight, Hansel's mission is to quickly assassinate Margaret and "Little Prince Henry" in Tudor. When you're done, retreat straight to the iron gate at this sewer exit, get the iron gate, and get out of here......

In order to withdraw before the city defense army completely surrounded his party, Hansel did not hesitate to take Prince François hostage to the iron gate of the sewer, and had the remaining iron gate torn down. Then, taking advantage of the night, everyone took turns running through the sewer exit despite the stench of the sewers, including Prince François, who was being held hostage......

After leaving the city, the group rode the war horses that had been prepared long ago and fled to the northern coast. After all, if you pretend to be British, you naturally have to do a full set of plays. In addition, there are boats on the beach.

By the time the French sent hundreds of cavalry around the city gate to chase after them, the group had already run away. But what the French didn't know was that on the way, Hansel took Prince François hostage with two of his men and hid in a secret stronghold on the way......

The team of dozens of people, with two or three people missing, did not find out, but chased them for two days in a row, chased them to the seashore, and then found the horses left behind by the special forces who had already boarded the ship and went to sea......

Unbeknownst to the French, however, Prince François was actually imprisoned in a small village on the Seine River, just 30 kilometers from Paris. There, too, is a small stronghold of the Beihai Chamber of Commerce. A large mound in the village was hollowed out to serve as a secret chamber. And the unlucky Prince François was imprisoned in this hollowed-out mound......

Why did Hansel hide Prince François here? Because when everyone got on their horses and fled, Prince François was extremely uncooperative, and he couldn't stop struggling on the horse's back, and almost tossed the horse over. In desperation, Hansel had no choice but to take Prince François and leave the team halfway through, hiding so as not to drag down the large army.

Also, Hansel felt that since he had caught the big fish, it should be useful. Therefore, after setting foot in this small village called Waite, he asked the village's Beihai spies to send carrier pigeons, report the matter to Orich, and ask for instructions from above to deal with it.

"What? Didn't kill Marguerite mother and son, but captured Prince François? When Marin heard the news, he was dumbfounded.

He felt a little sympathetic to this François - what kind of evil did this man make? Why is it so related to being captured?

Originally, in history, this goods was captured by Charles V. In this life, Charles V will definitely not be as strong as in the original history. However, unexpectedly, he was captured by his own men in advance...... This ...... Looks like he was destined to be captured......

What to do with this guy? What kind of humiliating treaty did he force him to sign? As soon as Marin had this idea, he was vetoed by himself. Why? Because after the original historical capture of this goods by Charles V, he signed the humiliating "Treaty of Madrid" with Charles V, expressing his willingness to give up Italy's territorial claims, and even agreed to return most of the territories of the Duchy of Burgundy occupied by France......

However, when he returned to France, he immediately turned around and did not recognize the treaty......

It can be seen that this product is a profit-oriented goods, which belongs to a monarch that is different from the medieval monarch who focused on commitment, and somewhat similar to the shameless monarch of modern times...... When dealing with such a person, don't expect him to keep his promises......

However, just let him go, it seems that he is very unwilling......

Marin was struggling, when suddenly Leonardo da Vinci broke into his office with a small medicine box on his back, and said happily:

"Grand Duke, the ligation operation you mentioned, I successfully experimented! I'm going to get a ligation! ”
