Vol 3 Chapter 110: 1 year encounter

Marriage, an ancient but consistently used method, is a strategy that almost all families have used.
Monarch marriage is to expand the territory, merchant marriage is to make more money, and even ordinary people often use marriage to ensure that they can get enough benefits.
Alexander thought he would be regarded as a in marriage in the future, and he had already realized this since he began to use the name Joel Modillo.
It is the iron law of this world to gain benefits and pay the price. No one can simply ask for it without paying, and even a very powerful person must abide by this principle.
So for the marriage, Alexander was very clear in his heart, and this is why whenever Nashan tried to take Sophia away from him, he could understand it although he opposed it.
It was impossible to give Sophia a real marriage from the beginning, so if she left, it would be no surprise.
It's just that he didn't expect this to happen so quickly, and it happened without his knowledge.
And somehow, at the moment when he heard the news about his marriage, it was Lu Sha who flashed in his mind.
Modillo arranged a marriage for himself, so was Ruosha also arranged for a marriage?
Who will the other party be?
The name of Count Taranto Hossen shook Alexander's heart. Although he had never seen the count, he knew that the man was too old to have a son older than them.
Barendi de la Rovere was obviously also surprised by the news. She looked at her father in amazement, because even Constantine was not able to hear her because of the accident.
"My daughter, you now have a fiance," Giuliano de la Rovere told Barenti, although he did not publicly recognize his illegitimate identity as Alexander VI, but in many cases, de la Rovere He still claimed himself as a father in private, and then he looked at Alexander with a slightly discerning eye. "I have to admit that his current identity doesn't seem to be worthy of you, Lord Agrie. Where is that? I Never heard of it. "
Balenti looked back at Alexander in amazement. Her ordinary face was always stunned by surprise. When her eyes crossed Sophia, there was a slight uneasiness.
Sophia also stared blankly at the few people in front of her. She was only 13 years old, and she was far from being able to fully understand some things.
But there is one thing she knows better than anyone, that is Alexander is hers!
Because of this, she hated all women who dared to approach Alexandria, even the surname Shaosha, who claimed to be his sister, but now a woman suddenly emerged from the wife who claimed to be Alexander, which caused her to explode in an instant!
"Ah ~" A shout burst from Sophia's slightly hoarse throat. At this moment, she even forgot the fear of the archbishop's instinct. She rushed forward desperately to block herself in front of Alexander, holding her back tightly. Sticking in front of him, like a mother dragon guarding his belongings, issued an angry cry to the archbishop!
Alexander is mine, I am alone, he has beaten the whip for me, all he is mine!
Sophia wanted to announce so loudly, but no other voices could be made except when others could not understand the "Ah" shout, which made her gradually startled from the initial anger, and everyone looked at her with a weird look, which made Sophia couldn't accept it, and her gorgeous but a little uncomfortable clothes made her almost breathless.
Sophia's anger slowly turned into anxiety, and she became heavy because of nervous breathing, so that she felt that the clothes on her body were unbearable like an active prison cage.
With a stab, Sophia struggled to pull the neckline of the precious and gorgeous robe, and a cold wind blew into her neck, making her breathing smoother, and then she clenched her fists with people's gaze, straight The archbishop, who stood in front of everyone and feared, gave out a roar like a dragon.
Alexander was sober at this time. Although he knew that he was sold by Morodi, he also knew that it was not time to care about this. He immediately reached out and hugged Sophia from behind, while whispering comfort in her ear. Holding her back slowly.
"Relax, as long as you don't leave me, I won't leave you," Alexander's voice was gentle, like comforting a child who was angry because the toy was robbed violently. When he saw Sophia still sticking out, After the roar stopped, he held her lips with her lips and licked her lip with her anger and fever, and at the same time lowered her voice and said,
Do n’t be angry, it ’s not good-looking. You just let them know that I am yours. No one can take me away from you. "
Sophia turned her head and looked at him with suspicious eyes. She wondered if she could believe Alexander's words, because these people didn't seem to think so.
"This Bohemian woman is really stubborn." Della Rovere said to the cousin next to him, seeing Rafael's slightly twitching corner of his mouth, the Archbishop's face was unhappy and said to Alexander "I don't think this is the discussion now. At that time, you first let this woman calm down and then come to see me. "
"I think so, too, please forgive me for being lost."
Alexander embraced Sophia, who was trembling slightly because of her excitement. Seeing that she was irritated, she was vaguely uneasy. Alexander thought that she didn't want to suddenly reach out and hugged her whole body.
Under the stunned gaze of several people, Alexander turned to Sophia and walked out of the room.
It was only after leaving those people that Sophia's stubborn and struggling body gradually softened. She curled up in Alexandria's arms with her arms around his neck and her eyes blinked closely without blinking. Holding his face.
"Relax, I won't disappear," Alexander comforted the girl in her arms who had apparently become afraid. "Unless Nashan takes you away, but even then we won't be separated."
Sophia didn't fully understand Alexander's suggestion. She just reassured that he said that he wouldn't be separated. The gypsy girl's uncomplicated heart made her unwilling to think too much.
Sophia just swayed slightly in the wind because of her ripped collar, because the whole person was curled up in Alexander's arms, and a healthy light chestnut skin on the chest exposed from the neckline swelled up, looking like an attractive beauty .
The 13-year-old girl is a little different from the 12-year-old girl.
"You are such a tempting witch."
Alexander said in Sophia's ear and stopped after kissing her forehead again. He turned to look at the villa behind him, frowning slowly.
Just being sold like this, Alexander first was a little unwilling.
Besides, even if it was sold, it had to be sold at a good price, and then he thought so.
Valentina de la Rovere is the youngest of Giuliano de la Rovere's three daughters, but it is also said to be his favorite.
No one knows that Alexander has seen her portraits, although they are old, and they do n’t care much about the freehand techniques of those painters. However, when he looked at the side painting of the pope ’s illegitimate girl, Alexander also commented on her appearance. It's "good fortune".
In fact, when he really saw the young lady of Rovere's family, he felt that the evaluation seemed to be slightly higher.
At most, Balendi's appearance can only be said to be ordinary. Like many women, her figure in the girlhood is still good. As for her appearance, Alexander can only kindly say that she has no specialty in this respect.
What this young woman is good at is obviously different from other famous noble ladies of this era. She seems to have a stronger attachment to money than those men, and the Rovere family does not seem to be good at this aspect, so she became The chief executive of this family.
For this young woman, Alexander ’s interest was just how to get more benefits from her hands. With the agreement reached with Genoa, the merchant ships that had been dealing with it were slowly but quite prominently showing the "free trade zone" he conceived. Although the merchants are still very cautious because of all kinds of scruples, Alexander believes that as long as the merchants can experience the benefits of the free trade zone, they will bite themselves like fish that have tasted bait. of.
Alexander couldn't help but admit that there is a lot of credit for Barenti, at least this woman's vision is still very good.
Just, marry this woman?
Alexander was a little sick.
Alexander admits that he is actually a person who pays attention to appearance.
Whether Sofia was mixed with innocence and femininity, or Ruosha's charm like the shining sun, he made him unforgettable, so he was more willing to face such a girl.
What's more, his relationship with them is obviously not the same as Barendi.
What kind of person is Giuliano de la Rovere, Alexander feels that no one knows better than him.
Or what kind of person he will be in the future, at least Alexander knows better than everyone else.
As the prestigious Genoese figure of this era, the Della Rovere family is no more depraved or noble than any other family. This family also has the power to enjoy luxury, and they are the same as other families in order to maintain their status. Cunning and changeable.
The Rovere family is more special than everyone else.
This is because Giuliano de la Rovere is a leading party.
The invasion of the French caused many city-states that had the antagonism of the times to temporarily halt their disputes. The appearance of an enemy that was more terrible than ever made them panic and temporarily united.
But the Rovere family was the opposite. Not only did they hesitate to the French, they also became French agents in Italy from the beginning.
This makes everyone think that this family is undoubtedly the most faithful running dog of the French.
But the fact is that even the current King Charles VIII of France and Louis XII, who will soon succeed him, have been deceived.
No one thought at this time that De La Rovere, the first person in the leading party, became the most troublesome opponent of the French only a few years later.
And throughout his life, he fought endlessly in order to expel the French from Italy.
For such a person, Alexander can hardly describe the feeling in his heart. The only word he can think of is scary.
Modillo actually married him and the family. Alexander not only felt that he was sold, but also seemed to be selling less valuable.
Modillo may think that it is a good choice to marry the illegitimate girl of the Archbishop of Genoa, but Alexander does not think so.
Especially after thinking about it in less than a few years, Della Rovere, who became Pope Ulysses II, will begin to die with Louis XII. Alexander feels that this is not a good marriage.
Now no one would think that the French's number one accomplice would suddenly reverse in the future, and even the scheming Modillo could not have thought of such a result.
In his view, the profound relationship between the Rovere family and the French may be a great help that can be borrowed in the future.
So when I think that one day, "Joe Modillo" will face a strong enemy from Aragon and Castilla, and will also fight against France of Louis XII. Alexander has a kind of even smart as Modillo , And sometimes look away.
And speaking of it, even if there will not be a reversal afterwards, Alexander does not feel that the Loveley family is a reliable enough ally.
Giuliano de la Rovere is obviously more concerned about his family. He made a continuous war to make his son the Duke of Ferrara, so the title of "God of War" became his glory and became him. The reason for being criticized.
If he married Barendi, would he be so active for his son-in-law?
Alexander thought about it and shook his head quickly. He didn't think his character was so good that there was such an old man who loved him.
At least Nashan is a living example.
Sophia apparently has not calmed down from the anger just now, or that her gypsy character makes her not easy to give up once she decides who she hates.
So when Alexander put her on the carriage, she suddenly took out a chain of black stones from the velvet belt bag she was carrying, and her lips were soft and silent.
Alexander looked at Sophia helplessly. He didn't know if it was a kind of curse, but obviously, Sophia really hated that family.
But he didn't know that, on Sophia's cursed list, Count Modillo seemed to be in front of Rovere's family.
The carriage was bumpy on the road, and the snow outside seemed to have grown. Alexander opened his robe and wrapped Sophia's body in his arms.
I don't know if it's because of the tight hug, the two people's body temperature seems to be higher than usual.
Alexander looked at Sophia's sharply profiled face in the light from outside the car, and then kissed her on a pale chestnut cheek.
In response to him, Sophia suddenly turned her head and caught his fiery lips.
The carriage is still shaking ~ EbookFREE.me ~ The two people in the car seem to have forgotten everything outside.
Until a whine came, the carriage suddenly stopped, and then there was a low voice from outside of the car.
"Sir, the Archbishop of Valencia is opposite."
Alexander frowned slightly and told Sophia to leave her arms, then opened the door and walked off the carriage.
Opposite the carriage, Caesar in a magnificent costume was riding to watch him immediately.
Alexander noticed that a middle-aged man standing beside him with Caesar was looking at him with strange eyes.
"It's a coincidence," Caesar said, looking at Alexander with a smile. "I remember someone who said that the person I met on the last day of the year heralds the luck of the year after you. I don't know what it means to meet us." Not waiting for Alexander to answer, Caesar glanced at the middle-aged man next to him and said, "But I can be sure that your meeting will not indicate good things."
With that said, he smiled at Alexander: "Come and meet my family, my sister's husband Giovanni Sforza."
