Vol 3 Chapter 111: "Vatican Report"

Giovanni Sforza, when he heard the name, Alexander knew why the man opposite had to look at him with that look, and why Caesar said that.
Given by Connie, it is rumored that the Scolza family's Corumpo Sforza was killed by him.
The people of the Sforza family are hedgehogs, and almost everyone who has been in contact with this family has this feeling, whether it is the Giovanni Sforza in front of him, or Catalina, the tiger of Forli. Sforza, or other people with this surname, seemed to be covered with thorns and could not deal with it.
And perhaps because of the unique background, this family is obviously more embracing than other families. As long as they grumble with one of them, it often means that they offended them all.
What's more, Giovanni Sforza and Corumpo seem to have a close relationship.
Alexander bowed slightly to Giovanni, but looked at him silently without speaking.
In fact, it is not necessary to speak at this time. Even if you think about Alexander, you can guess that this Giovanni should have no affection for him.
Sure enough, Giovanni Sforza's face turned gloomy and led the horse close to Alexandria. After sitting down and watching him silently for a while, the Sforza finally spoke, but His voice was cold and there was obvious hostility: "If today is not a special day, maybe I will challenge you on the street. You probably don't know that Colombo is my closest cousin."
"Giovanni is a real warrior," Caesar looked at the two of them with a smile on his face. "He has been on the battlefield longer than Lukrezija, so this is really your misfortune."
Caesar's words seemed to surprise Giovanni. He looked back at his eldest uncle. After seeing the smile on Caesar's face, he groaned a little and then said apologetically, "It seems that I don't care enough about my wife. This must be her complaint in front of you. "
"No, my dear brother-in-law, this is what we all think so, you really should accompany Lucrezia more, so if you have any grudges, you can say it after today, all you have to do now is to be a good husband as soon as possible. Hurry up to Lucrezia to accompany her. "Caesar dissuaded his brother-in-law very seriously, and then his eyes suddenly turned behind Alexander, and then his eyes suddenly became heated." It seems that today must be a good sign, actually let me I met a beauty. "
Caesar's eyes moved Alexander's heart. He looked back and saw Sophia not knowing when she had come off the carriage and stood not far behind him.
Sophia's big eyes flashed slightly on Caesar and Giovanni, and when she saw Alexander turn around, her eyes softened immediately.
A slight interrogative "ah" came from her lips. Sophia had clearly seen that the two people on the opposite side and Alexander seemed to have a wrong look. She stared at them cautiously, while her arms habitually lifted forward slightly , And made the two people feel strangely shaking.
"Sir, you should be thankful," Alexander turned to look at Giovanni Sforza on the opposite side. "If it weren't for today, maybe you are in trouble now."
Giovanni Sforza's indifferent expression rose on his indifferent face, but he did not immediately explode, but looked at Caesar next to him. Seeing Caesar's attention seemed to stay completely on the girl who suddenly appeared, he looked at Alexander's eyes. There was a little sarcasm in it.
"Really, I really want to know what kind of trouble it is, but today is really not suitable for killing, but I remind you that you are in trouble now." He said with a little deep intention Caesar glanced, then drove the mount to miss from Alexander's side and hurried forward. ,
Caesar's eyes stayed on Sophia, he didn't hide his interest in the girl, and even a smile appeared on his face.
"The things that night really impressed me, I have to admit that you are the most unique girl I have ever seen," Caesar said with a smile. "Maybe we should find some time to talk about the things you did that night. . "
"Adult, maybe you should think about how to arrange a few more guards for your sister first," Alexander's body blocked Caesar's front, and he said calmly to face Caesar's suddenly difficult look. "I listen It seems that she just encountered something very unpleasant, should n’t you care more about Lukreziya? "
Caesar's smiling face gradually sank, but after opening his mouth, he gave up what he wanted to say, but instead looked at Alexander deeply, and slowly took the horse past him slowly, walking When he came to Sophia's eyes, he couldn't help but glanced over Sophia's bare chest, and then he made a laugh, and the force spurs slammed the horse's belly under his feet, and quickly went away in the hiss of the mount.
Sophia turned around and looked at Caesar who was going away quickly. After a short pause, she suddenly raised her right arm and made a strange movement against his back.
Anyone who knows her a little bit will know that if the short crossbow was tied to her arm at this time, the Archbishop of Valencia today is probably going to see God immediately.
Looking at Sophia, who was doing this seriously, suddenly Alexander's not-so-good mood suddenly became lighter. He walked over to embrace Sophia, bowed her head and kissed her forehead. The carriage went.
Sophia looked at him with questioning eyes and made a soft "ah" sound.
"It's okay, don't worry," hearing Sophia's concerns, Alexander comforted her softly. "That Caesar can't treat me now, and he can't care about me now."
Speaking of which, Alexander's mouth hung with an imperceptible smile.
No one would have imagined that the assassination of Lucrezia, who surprised the whole of Rome, was actually planned by a person who was not very noticeable, such as Alexander, when everyone was wondering who was behind the incident. And for what purpose they would openly assassinate Alexander VI's beloved daughter, the assassin's "mastermind" had returned to San Marino Palace.
Caesar's unusual interest in Sophia has not escaped Alexander's eyes, and thinking about the blemish of the young and handsome archbishop, Alexander can already be sure that Caesar has not been so kind to Sophia.
But as he said, Caesar didn't care about other things at this time.
Giovanni Sforza actually returned to Rome.
This news caused everyone in the whole city of Rome to instantly pay attention.
In the past nearly a year, the invasion of the French made the Sforza family in Milan from the French supporters to the later opponents. Giovanni Sforza also had to bid farewell to his wife. Mulan went to join their army to prevent the French from fighting against the French.
He went there for almost a year.
In this year, Lucrezia ’s life became apparently much freer, even until she was almost assassinated. The Vatican princess lived carefreely in the Portico Palace, even many times she forgot In addition, I have a husband.
Now Giovanni Sforza is back suddenly, which not only surprised Lucrezia, but also made many people who care about this family feel that something seems to happen.
Alexander is one of them, but compared with others who do not yet understand what happened, Alexander knows clearly what will happen next.
So even after realizing Caesar's unusual thoughts about Sophia, although secretly irritated, Alexander was not too worried.
Because he knew that soon there would be a lot of trouble waiting for the entire Borgia family.
In the early morning of January 1, 1497, with 12 bells ringing above the cathedral, under the auspices of Pope Alexander VI, the Holy See held the first public mass of the year in the impoverished Vatican West Church.
This is a mass of unity and a mass of victory. This mass not only solemnly reaffirmed the authority of the Cardinal Church of the Vatican, with Alexander VI as the core, but also established that in the new year the church will lead the entire mass The Christian world eliminates unbelief, eradicates heresy, and strives for a firm determination to lead all the people of the church to a bright new era when the new century arrives.
Participants in this mass were Alexander VI, Caesar Borgia, Giuliano de la Rovere and other senior clergy, and the Orthodox representatives in the Vatican also issued congratulations on this mass. The church and secular dignitaries also ...
Just as the papal pen heads headed by Pope Personal Secretary Nomelo were pondering how to word this mass, they suddenly discovered something that all of them had to pay attention to.
That is, with Cardinal Monteiro being assassinated, the Cardinals inevitably has a vacancy.
In fact, this matter has never been neglected, even when the news of Monteiro's assassination just came out, a battle for the position of the cardinal has already begun.
Now, after a series of shading, the battle finally came to the surface with the end of the first mass in 1497.
According to the "Law of Doctrine" that lasted for a thousand years, the Vatican Holy See decided to re-elect a cardinal to fill the vacancy left by Monteiro.
This is undoubtedly a very important thing in the life of faith in the Christian world. After hearing this, almost all cardinals do not have the title, but how many cardinals with this opportunity can't help being moved.
This included Archbishop Caesar Borgia of Valencia, Archbishop Giuliano Giuliano de la Rovere, and even Archbishop Alfonso of Palermo, who had just put on a robe in red, couldn't help but be moved.
For a time, the entire Christ world seemed to be moving.
It was at this time that Alexander received the invitation from Palermo Bishop Alfonso again.
Alfonso had previously sent an invitation to Alexandria, but was rejected by Alexander.
To Alfonso, Alexandria couldn't be more sickened. After all, although Alfonso collided with the French to create a sufficiently large disturbance in Sicily, it even led to the death of the Sicilian palace Gomez, but Alexander was against Alfonso. I have no prejudices. Even after hearing about Alfonso ’s sermon at Palermo Cathedral, Alexander was surprised by the accident and felt that the priest was really bold enough.
Regardless of his intentions at that time, Alfonso was obviously a person who had ambitions and dared to put them into practice.
But whenever he thought of Kunto, Alexander was full of vigilance against this person.
The shadow of Kunto ’s inexplicable attack and death was always haunting him. Because of this, Alexander had an inexplicable defense against Alfonso.
If anyone is the real beneficiary of the murder of Cardinal Monteiro, then, except for the principal behind whom the culprit is unknown so far, is Alfonso who was with him when the cardinal was killed.
Because it was not only the last person he met before Monteiro ’s death, but also the executor of his deathbed confession. The new Bishop of Palermo suddenly became a famous figure in the city of Rome, People looked at him no longer as a shabby bishop from a remote parish, and even his identity as an Aragonese became fashionable and became a topic of discussion.
Alfonso had always stayed in the church where Monteiro was alive, so he was not far from the San Marino Palace, but Alexandria hadn't seen him again after the encounter outside the Pope's visit.
Now the bishop suddenly sent people to invite him to think about the various rumors that are now being discussed about the election of Cardinal Monteiro. Alexander understood how much the bishop thought.
Obviously, even if he had just become the bishop of Palermo, the throne of the cardinal still moved Alfonso.
It's just that Alexander didn't understand why Alfonso came to him.
Before the night of Palermo, Alfonso was ruthlessly played by the Duke of Orleans, UU reading www.uukanshu. Although other people do n’t know about com, Alexander is the best known.
Even so, the collusion between Alfonso and the French is an indisputable fact.
Now Alfonso seems to have suddenly moved his mind about the position of the cardinal, and then think of the Giuliano de la Rovere who rushed to Rome at this time. Alexander suddenly felt that although the French did not have any advantage on the battlefield, The secret tentacles of Charles VIII seemed to have reached the bedside of Alexander VI.
Alexander decided to accept Alfonso's invitation, but before going to the church where Cardo Montero had sent his life, he not only brought Paul Busako, but also enough hunting guards.
Alexander felt that at this time, the city of Rome, no matter how cautious, was right.
And just outside the church of Alfonso, when Alexander came out of the car, someone was standing at the church's bell tower window and looking down at him.
"he came."
Looking at the figure below, Clian turned to the man in the mask behind.
