Chapter 410: Buying "Canterella"

Diplomatic disputes between Spain and England continued, with Spain accusing England of mistreating Princess Catherine and imprisoning her. But Henry VII quibbled that he had not mistreated Catherine, and that he had not imprisoned her. As for Princess Catherine's lack of appearance in front of people for a long time, it was because of the death of her eldest son Arthur, which caused her to be too sad and unwilling to come out to relax......

As a result, the two sides reached an impasse. And Henry VII felt that he was now very dangerous, with France and Scotland on the outside, and Edward's remnants on the inside. Therefore, it is very inappropriate to part ways with Spain at this time. Therefore, he played a trick like this, hoping to drag on until Catherine and Prince Henry got married.

And Ferdinand II, in fact, was also very irresolute. Don't look at the fierce noise, in fact, it is just to divert the attention of the country. After all, he had been in Italy before, and the death of Isabella I was so serious that he needed to divert the attention of his subjects so that they would no longer hold on to his mistakes.

In fact, what Marin didn't know was that Ferdinand II had no intention of bringing his daughter, Princess Catherine, back to Spain. The main question is, how to settle it after receiving it? If you want to remarry, you have to choose a king or a prince. How hard is that? Moreover, there will be a large dowry. The princess's dowry is no joke, it is at least to form a convoy......

Ferdinand II was patriarchal, and he was not happy to toss so much for a daughter. As long as he avoided this part of his limelight, he planned to make peace with Henry VII. After all, it is also Spain's national policy to use the British to contain France. The premise, of course, is that Henry VII is ostensibly subservient so that he can step down.

That is, Marin's idea of sabotaging the marriage between Spain and England failed. Although, after the two sides quarreled, the relationship was definitely not as harmonious as before. However, in order to deal with the common enemy, France, both sides were actually reluctant to abandon the alliance. The reason why Ferdinand II was willing to fall out with England was only to cover up his mistakes.

……

It's just that Marin doesn't know it yet, and he's still happily preparing to poison Christian, the crown prince of Denmark......

In March, in the port of Bilbao on the northern coast of Spain, a Swedish flag Kirk sailing ship arrived. A bearded young nobleman, with a group of retinues, went ashore in a low-key manner.

However, the next day, the group probably drank too much in the tavern and got into a fight with another group. The sheriff who came casually mediated this inexplicable contradiction. However, the sheriff also knew the name of the young Swedish nobleman - Johansson......

In fact, it's a pseudonym. The young man's real name was Jim, and he was a Frisian and a royal spy under Marin. This man is extremely intelligent, has an amazing memory, and has a very good talent for languages.

For example, Swedish, Marin, a traverser, has a headache, but he learned it well in a year. And, as a commoner, he actually taught himself Latin......

If it weren't for the lack of personnel in the spy department, Marin would have wanted to transfer him to the diplomatic department.

This time in Spain, Jim's mission is to find Caesar. Borgia buys the poison "Cantrella" to poison the Danish Crown Prince Christian.

According to Marin's script, Jim went ashore in a low-key manner, but deliberately pretended to be drunk the next day, and then got into a group fight with people, attracting the attention of the Spanish authorities......

Sure enough, after realizing the identity of the Swedish nobleman of "Johansson", the Spanish officials began to send people to spy on them.

Then, according to the script, Jim sneakily took people to the kingdom of Navarre in the northeastern region of Spain......

Why go to the Kingdom of Navarre? Because of Caesar. Borgia lives here......

Caesar. Borgia was a fiefdom purchased by the Spanish Catalans and Ferdinand II, also within the Kingdom of Aragon.

However, Caesar. Borgia distrusted Ferdinand II and considered him a forgetful man. If someone paid the price to buy his life from Ferdinand II, Ferdinand II would definitely be happy.

So, he took his wife and hid in the kingdom of Navarre, which was close to the kingdom of Aragon. Because, his wife Charlotte's brother Jean. Albre, married Princess Catherine of Navarre and became King of Navarre.

Caesar. Borgia thinks that since it is the eldest brother's house, it must be safe, right? So, Caesar. Borgia took his wife to the outskirts of Pamplona, the capital of the Kingdom of Navarre, and bought a manor house to live in. As for the territory of Aragon, it was left to the servants to take care of.

As for his sister, Lucrezia, she returned to the Duchy of Ferrara. She married Alfonso I, Duke of Ferrara, in 1502, and at first she fled with her brother. But then, she felt that she was only a woman, and that Julius II had a better reputation, so she should not be embarrassed by herself, so she returned to Ferrara and continued to be her duchess.

In fact, Julius II was not interested in taking her life, he was only interested in Caesar. Borgia's life is at stake. Because, many bloody things in the Borgia family before, such as the pursuit and killing of members of the Rovere family, were Caesar. What Borgia did had nothing to do with Lucrezia.

Just, Caesar. Borgia didn't know that even his king's uncle might not always be able to protect him. In the original history, he was sold by his eldest brother. In the assault on an earl, Caesar. Borgia was the first to charge into enemy lines. However, it was sad to find that no one was following behind...... Then, he was hacked to death with a knife......

Of course, in this life, Caesar. Borgia probably wouldn't be so dead. Because, Julius II gave this task to Marin and asked Marin to send someone to assassinate him......

Marlin doesn't have time to pay attention to Caesar right now. Borgia, and it's not appropriate to do it now. As long as he is killed, people will speculate that Julius II sent someone to do it, and the impact is not good. Therefore, Marin plans to buy a poison with him first-"Canterella". Then, poison Christian, the crown prince of Denmark. After Christian's death, the Danes were certainly furious. After that, Marin sent someone to assassinate Caesar. Borgia, others will think it is the revenge of the Danes......

Jim quietly led a team of men from the port of Bilbao to Pamplona, the capital of the Kingdom of Navarre......

The Spaniards were also curious about the whereabouts of Jim and his party, so they sent spies to follow them secretly......

In fact, the Spanish spies were very unprofessional, and their tracking had already been seen by Jim with a telescope. It's just that Jim just wants the other party to find out his whereabouts, so he pretends not to see it.

Then, the Spanish spies found Jim and his party and entered Caesar. Borgia in his estate outside Pamplona......

When Jim, in the name of "Swedish nobleman Johansson", presented a letter to Caesar. Borgia offered to buy a copy of "Canterella" when Caesar. Borgia shook his head repeatedly, flatly denying that the Borgia family had this poison.

However, when Jim raised the price all the way to 10,000 gold coins, Caesar. Borgia was moved......

After all, this is not the time it used to be. At the beginning, the Borgia family had a huge fortune worth millions of gold coins. Unfortunately, with the death of Alexander VI, the Italian property was basically confiscated by Julius II. Even the property of Spain was extorted a lot by Ferdinand II. So, now ten thousand gold coins, for Caesar. Borgia is also very seductive. You know, Alexander VI asked Ferdinand II to buy the land, but it only cost 50,000 gold coins.

So, he asked hesitantly:

"I don't have the poison you said, but I would venture to ask—what are you doing with it?"

Caesar. Borgia asked what seemed like nonsense - poison is certainly poison to kill. However, this is not actually nonsense, and its implicit meaning is - who are you going to kill with poison? If it's a big guy and the influence is too great, I don't dare to sell it to you......

Jim knew what he was asking, of course, and even Marin and Khloe had calculated it before he left. So, he pretended to grit his teeth and said:

"My only brother...... Because, my father favored him so much that he wanted to give him half of the family property! Did you know, Mr. Borgia? Our family is engaged in trade, and the family property is very rich, with hundreds of thousands of gold coins. If you give half to that bastard, it's going to kill me. But it's unlikely that I'll send a killer to kill him, because he has a large group of guards around him. So, I decided - poison him! ”

Caesar. Borgia breathed a sigh of relief - it turned out to be a fight for family property. As long as it doesn't involve the murder of kings and nobles, even if something happens, he won't be too involved. Moreover, he is protected by the king's uncle and brother, how can the average little nobleman drop?

Although his heart was relieved, he still asked:

"You poisoned your brother, aren't you afraid of your father's wrath?" In fact, the murder of his own brother, Caesar. Borgia was a good man, and his own brother Giovanni was assassinated by him. So, he understands the mood of "Johansson" very well......

"What about outbursts? He only has two sons, I poisoned my brother, can he still kill me? Beat me up to a beating. When the time comes, the family property will still be mine......" Jim said vigorously. He is fluent in Latin, leaving no doubt that he is the son of an aristocracy.

Caesar. Borgia was originally a suspicious person, but "Mr. Johansson" poisoned his younger brother to fight for the family property, which was very much to his liking. So, in the end, he agreed to sell a copy of the "canterella" to Jim......

Jim was careful when he left. As soon as he left the gate of Borgia Manor, he began to look left and right, and with a cautious look, let Caesar. Borgia was relieved. Because, the more cautious "Mr. Johansson" is, the less he is involved.

In fact, the performance of Jim and his party had already been discovered by Spanish spies. Even the eyes of the royal family of Navarra have discovered their whereabouts. No way, who told Jim that there were too many people. With such a huge team and all foreigners, it's hard not to attract attention...... Of course, this was intentional on the part of Jim et al. If it weren't for the fear that others would suspect his motives, he would have wanted to use the loudspeaker to spread the word everywhere - I'm here to find Caesar. Borgia Buying Poison ......
