Where did Duarte go to find Giulio. What about the handwriting of the Medici? Of course, in the Palazzo Picromini, the most is Giulio. The Medici copied the Scriptures, the documents recorded for the cardinals, the urgent letters he transcribed on his behalf, and his work, but like Cardinal Picomini today, the Picromini Palace was one of the few places where Pope Alexander VI's hand could not be inserted. But Duarte remembered that in Lucleia's possession, there should have been another copy from Julio. The Medici handwriting sample, the always cautious and cautious secretary of the Holy See, of course, was also aware of the affairs of the two children, and he did not go to alarm Lucrecia, but directly bought her nurse, stole the little book of the "Happy Prince", and after reading it, he told her to put it back in its place.

On the way back to the Holy Father, even Duarte couldn't help but feel emotional, the reason why he knew about the existence of this book was because Luclay, who was only five years old at the time, showed it off to him, but at that time, Luclay could not imagine that this beautiful, pure and bright emotion between the two would end up in such a tragic and dirty end - he sighed deeply as he walked briskly to the Holy Father's bedroom.

Pope Alexander VI didn't have to listen to the answer, as soon as he saw Duarte's look, he knew everything, he sat by the fireplace, his illness was cured, but he still had a lot of sequelae, fear of the cold was one of them, and Lucretia was in Spolet, Caesar was in Forlì, Avery was in Squeerage, none of his three remaining children were with him, of course, it was all for the great cause of the Borgia family, but the Holy Father occasionally felt lonely.

Only now, Duarte's reward made his anger and depression outweigh his nostalgia for the child: "Fool," he cried, "what a fool, what the hell is he doing, why do I have such a stupid and incompetent son!" If he had taken Lucrecia's body and heart, or if he had simply given Luracia to the Medici, we wouldn't have to face this embarrassing situation! Duarte, look, he didn't tell me the truth even to the end, and if he had told me the truth, then I could have asked Julio in advance. The Medici went to serve the saints! Even if Picomini could play tricks again, he wouldn't want to escape Miguel's noose easily!

Why!? Let me know about this now? Lucca's affairs are already well known, and even idiots have begun to leave for Lucca, wanting to make a pilgrimage!

What am I going to do?

Duarte," the Holy Father stood up, his large strong hand gripping the secretary's arm tightly, and Duarte could hear his bones creaking: "I'm at fault too. Alexander VI admitted: "I despise him too much, just because he is a Medici, but I can't blame him, Medici, ha, it's not me who said, except Cosimo. The Medici, his children and grandchildren were a bunch of rubbish - his heir Piero was a mediocre and incompetent man, and his grandson Lorenzo was a naïve idealist who had no talent but to squander Medici money on art, and as for his great-grandson, Pierrot, have you ever seen anyone more stupid, if not...... Oh, damn it, if it weren't for Julio. Medici, Florence has long been one of the fiefdoms of King Charles VIII of France.

It must have been the devil who blinded me. "I thought it was someone in Florence, for example, Carboni, who had been ambassador to Florence many times, and who had been in France for many years, and had managed to maneuver through it, before he finally managed to send away the foolish Frenchmen—at that time, though I knew that Joe. Medici and Giulio. The Medici went to Florence, but by that time Giulio had gone to Florence. How old is the Meditic Wizard, he is only sixteen years old, even if he has already put on the robes of the archbishop, but will the Florentine mob really respect a piece of clothing? It has only been a decade since the archbishop of Pisa was hanged on the bell tower. ”

He walked back and forth a few steps around the room, and then said to his dear secretary: "You are also at fault, dear Duarte, and you should remind me that Caesar was taken hostage by Charles VIII, and I decided to ...... Luracia didn't plead with anyone else, only with Julio. Medici, you should find out why. ”

Duarte, of course, would not be stupid enough to refute the Pope, and he bowed deeply to the Pope: "It's my fault, but I thought that Giulio. The Medici should have turned to Cardinal Picromini for help, and if he was really Cardinal Picomini's most beloved disciple, the power of the Picromini family should be at his disposal. ”

"Well," the Pope patted his palm, "don't talk about you, even I think so, I didn't even really ask Caesar or Jem. He glanced at Duarte and after he left, he sent someone to investigate Giulio in detail. The result of the Medici - although not many people know about the events of Florence and the rescue of Caesar, and they are quite secret-lipped about it, but there are always clues to follow, Alexander VI has always been proud of violence and intrigue, but this does not mean that he is a stupid man, before, it is not so much that his eyes were blindfolded by the devil, but that he was deceived and disobedient by Caesar and Luclayia, and his contempt for the Medici affected his perception of Giulio, When he began to re-evaluate the young man from the other direction, his heart fell straight down as if it had been filled with lead.

If only it were just a Giulio. The Medici would be fine. Individual wisdom and strength can never be compared to power, and the Medici in Florence has long been inferior to before, and their purse is even more in Rodrigo. Bolgia was cleaned up when he was elected pope - which is why, when the Florentine people expelled the Medici, Alexander VI did not bother to pay attention to Joe, who came to ask for help. Medici.

If Julio. Cardinal Picromini was the head of his family, but he also had to consider the interests of his people, Giulio was only a Medici after all, but when Alexander VI tried to sow discord between them, he found that not only did it not work, but also aroused the common anger of the Picrominis—his messenger was sent back in the belly of a dead cow.

If that's all there is, it's not without chance, but who will tell him what happened to the Duchess Anne of Brittany? He thought it was just a foolish act of a woman who was deceived by beauty, so why did he not care at all when he informed King Louis XII of France? And the Spanish general Gonzalo, who knew that Gonzalo had always hated the Borgia family, but he and the Medici, and only had a brief intersection between the battles of Seminara and Fornovo, what could make a rude soldier and a weak clergy forge a strong friendship? Even when he wrote to King Ferdinand I of Spain, the answer he received was lukewarm and perfunctory?

Even the Luccas, who had been enemies with the Florentines since more than a hundred years ago, not only did not instigate him to get rid of the Medici at his suggestion. Giulio, on the contrary, truly made him the archbishop of Lucca, believing in him, loving him, and willing to be at his disposal.

If Alexander VI could have believed that they had prepared to defend against a possible invasion of Florence before Lucca's works were formed, now, in any case, he would not have believed that such a double-walled wall, with its case, was clearly prepared to defend against artillery, and it was multiple guns, how many guns did Florence have? Can Alexander VI still not know? Now Italy has the most artillery is afraid that his son Caesar. Borgia too! After all, the Golden Florin and Golden Ducat, who were used to purchase artillery, slipped into Caesar after a circle in the hands of the administrator of the Holy Treasury. Borgia's hands slipped out of his hands and into the hands of the Spanish arms dealers.

Alexander VI was puzzled by the illegitimate son of the Medici in Lorenzo. After the death of the Medici, if it were not for his teacher, Cardinal Picromini, how did the little cub who could not even gain a foothold in Rome get such a secret and strong net in just a few years?

He shuddered several times in a row, and hurried back to the fireplace, his strong fingers groping on the armrests of his chair, closing his eyes, recalling every word Caesar had said to him before he went to France, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, his fingers clenched in mid-air, and relaxed, and his head began to hurt again, "Call Joshua," he said, "No, wait," and before Duarte could respond, the Pope changed his attention again: "You write a letter on my behalf, and tell Caesar that when he has captured Faenza, Just stop, stop—when he's Lord Romagna...... And after consolidating our rule, we ...... It may take a while to continue with the rest of the project...... Tell him solemnly that he will not be allowed to act as he pleases, and that in my name and of God, we may ...... It's wrong, and we're going to try to correct it......"

He fell into his chair, gasping for breath, flames burning in his veins, as if he were the invincible Supreme Master, only he knew that he was now a frail old man hiding in solid armor, "And," he looked up, praying to the being in the shadows, if that Julio. The Medici was sent by the devil, let him punish him on God's behalf, but, if so, Julio. The Medici were spiritual, as Joshua said, sent by God, and a sinister smile appeared on Alexander VI's lips, let the devil torture him, go and kill him! "Let's try again." "Duarte, let's see if the god of fate really favors the Medici," he said. ”

"Jean Miguel. Is Corero going? ”

"No," the Pope vetoed, "I can't do without him, and so can Caesar, let," he said after a moment of silence, "let them go." He pointed to his chest and drew a cross.

"The knights?" Duarte hesitated: "They don't necessarily want to be assassins. ”

"Whatever you go," said Alexander VI indifferently, "they are not willing to go on my march or to serve my son, so what can they do?" Tell them that if they want to go, I will release the 'priests' and 'farmers' who are with them, and if they can return, they can go to Rhodes, but if they can't complete this task, then they will all go to hell! ”
