Vol 4 Chapter 192: fiancée

As he crossed the North Arno River, Alexander clearly felt a bit of coldness.
Just as the northern regions often use the Po river as a sign to distinguish between north and south, Tuscan locals are always used to seeing the Arno River as the dividing line between upper and lower Tuscany.
Just in Alexander ’s opinion, this North Arno River is like the dividing line between Lucrezia and Valentia. The two of them tacitly regard this as the dividing line between Pisa and Montina. Don't touch things on the other party's site.
But Alexander didn't want to make his women's vision so narrow. In his mind, the world is so vast. How could a small Tuscany and Romagna be confined?
Just thinking of Barenti as his own woman also made Alexander feel stunned.
But when I think about it, I understand that although there is hardly any relationship between the two, the marriage contract made from the beginning has tied the two of them together.
Especially as the relationship between the two parties becomes closer and closer, although the two still seem so strange, in fact they are already an inseparable one.
Perhaps Old Rovere really thought about making Barendi and Calgino engaged, but as the situation changes, his idea must be gone.
Then as the marriage of the two approached, they finally got married.
What does it look like to marry Barendi?
Alexander feels that what they might discuss after marriage is not the banquet, hunting, what new clothes will be, but loans, shares and plans to stimulate market consumption.
These days may be boring, but Alexander is ready.
There is Sophia.
The sudden appearance of Nashan caused the thoughts of Sophia that had been hidden in Alexander's heart. He did not know the current situation of Sophia, but he wanted their father and daughter to look after each other together.
Bohemians are already used to wandering life, and it would be very uncomfortable to let them stay in one place for too long.
But Alexander knew that Sophia had gradually become accustomed to a stable life. Although her so-called stability was always different from others, she had begun to pay attention to dressing her room, and she became less keen on wandering because of her closeness to Alexander.
Only a sudden change made Sophia have to leave him, so where is Sophia now?
Thinking of the rumors brought by Ashurk, Alexander always had a hunch that it seemed that Sophia ’s life was not as peaceful as he had guessed, although those rumors were actually too absurd for him, even because of His previous experience is confusing, and the facts have long been unrecognizable, but if it is really as Ashurk said, then Sophia has lived in Bohemia or the Balkans. It must not be so calm.
Alexander couldn't help thinking, the closer he got to Montina, the more he thought.
With the entry into October, the footsteps of 1498 have almost reached the end of the year, and he has been in this era for almost three years.
A cheerful horse hissing came out of Pagasos's mouth under his seat. His footsteps accelerated significantly. Alexander looked forward and soon found that a team was coming.
There are not many people in this team. There are only about a dozen people. Even in this cloudy day without the sun, they can see the shining of their armor from afar.
Busako immediately ordered the hunting guards to prepare, but soon he waved again to signal that the hunting guards were disarmed.
"This is ..." Busaco looked at Alexander a little uncertainly.
And Alexander nodded slowly.
The cavalry team soon arrived in front of the hunting guards, and the one who led the team took off the thick woolen hood from the head, revealing a long black hair.
A not-so-beautiful face appeared in front of Alexander.
"Barendi."
Alexander, who had already recognized the man, said softly that his eyes fell on Barrondi's face, and there was a slightly different change in his look.
If in the past the two people were more interested in the relationship, then now when they really want to get married, Alexander's thoughts on Balendi will inevitably have some new changes.
Is this someone who wants to form a family with himself in this era?
This thought had been lingering in Alexander's heart, and he didn't know what kind of thought he was about Barenti, or if he thought about it carefully, he couldn't tell what he thought about the few women around him.
Lucrezia gave birth to a daughter for him.
And Sophia once suffered for him and even suffered with him.
And Ruosha, from the beginning, her sister became his most trusted and close ally, and in the future may become a lover who may not be public in his life.
As for Barendi, it is the person who wants to be his wife. If there is no accident, they will walk together for many years until one of them walks into the grave.
Thinking of this, Alexander couldn't help but squeeze his belly slightly, urging Pagasos to move forward quickly. After stopping the wrong horse with Balendi, his thigh felt the temperature from Balendi's leg, He leaned out and kissed Balenti's side face slightly.
Barendi seemed to be stunned. What she had intended to speak was also blocked by this unexpected kiss. There was a slight accident on her face. It seemed she didn't expect Alexander to do so at all.
But she quickly calmed down and said in a very calm tone: "Welcome home, sir."
Alexander nodded. He was not dissatisfied with Barenti's seemingly indifferent attitude. He knew that Barenti was as confused as he was about the upcoming wedding.
Now Barendi looks apathetic, but on the contrary, it arouses Alexander's interest somewhat. He suddenly has the urge to see this woman who has always been indifferent, whether angry or angry or happy.
"We are going to get married soon, don't you think it's more intimate before our hands to show how perfect our marriage is?"
Barenti hadn't understood the meaning of Alexander's words. Alexander had stretched out his hand and suddenly hugged her, and hugged her to Pagasos's back in a cry of Barendi.
Because of the sudden increase in weight, Pagasus immediately circled back and forth a few times to stabilize his body. It made a muffled snorting sound, and then began to move forward slowly with Alexander gently on the horse stock. go with.
The people on both sides apparently did not expect the count to suddenly become so enthusiastic. When the Bohemians sent out a whistle, Barrendi's men looked at each other and shrugged helplessly.
Balendi was a little scared, she didn't even struggle, or she heard Alexander's words, at least to be intimate with her fiance in front of the men.
However, her body was always stiff, even if she soon felt the heat from Alexander's body, but her waist was still stiff, so that she would feel uncomfortable after a while.
"You have to relax, otherwise if you let me hug you back, you will be unable to sleep in pain at night." Alexander whispered in Valenti's ear, seeing Valenti's neck still nodded slowly, He couldn't help but hold Balendi's hand lightly, and his fingers poked lightly on her rather slender waist.
"Pomp ~" First, she laughed, and then Balenti's body softened. She looked at Alexander a little embarrassed, and seemed to be unable to cope with this unexpected behavior.
"Tell me what have you done these days?" Alexander asked casually.
"I have reviewed all the farms," ​​Barrondi said, destroying this rare warm atmosphere. "I found that you are too kind to the farmers. They are stealing. Yes, they are stealing. They are stealing our things. They refused to pay the rent, and they even dared to reclaim a piece of woodland that belonged to us. "
"Oh, which woodland is it?"
"That's northeast of Montina, that place called Gansinte. I found some farmers digging our woodland privately. They cut down a lot of trees and then planted crops, but they are reporting the land to us. The amount is deliberately concealed. "
"You went to Gansinte?" Alexander asked a little strangely.
He is strange because that place is almost approaching the border with the furthest village in Bologna, and if you turn from there to the east, as long as you walk less than a day, you will encounter the Venetians sent to Romagna Travelling cavalry whistle on the edge.
According to the agreement with the Venetians after the Battle of Oral-Chimone, Venice has the right to retain a certain number of defenders on their side on the border with the northeast region of Romagna, and their mobile cavalry whistle is always from time to time. Infested on both sides of the border.
"Of course I'm going to that place, I must know how many of those people are in our territory," Barrondi looked up at Alexandria with a bit of blame. "You are too indulgent to make them forget their originality. They grow our land, and here is our territory. In addition to the tax and rent of the land, they also have to pay us extra as an obligation. Among them, one year includes a whole goat, one or two castrations Sheep, at least 20 pints of rye, 20 pints of oats, 10 hanged honey skewers, and various wild dried flowers that are no less than 1 min, and ...
"There is also a little housekeeper who likes more real." Alexander's arm pressed slightly, feeling Barenti's body stiffen in his arms again, and then poked gently on her waist.
Balenti gave a chuckle again, and then she looked up at Alexandria strangely.
This attitude of Alexander was unprecedented before, which made Balendi a little alarmed.
She was more willing to see the former Alexander with some distance and estrangement, and now it made her feel a little confused.
The sound of a horseshoe was very crisp, but it was like striking Barenti's heart.
She moved a little annoyed, some urge to struggle out of Alexander's arms.
Feeling that Barendi seemed to be somewhat annoyed, Alexander finally relaxed slightly around her arms, but the slightly bumpy horse immediately became unsafe, and Barendi no longer had to twist at will.
"Let me go." Balenti whispered that she was not used to this kind of intimacy, and in her memory her father was never too intimate with her mother, even though they had four children.
Alexander smiled. He knew that for Barenti, these actions were a little crazy, but thinking about what she had seen since she met her was always a serious look. Alexander was a little curious. During her childhood, It's not like that.
If so, she is really not cute at all.
The short and unsuccessful war between Montina and Genoa made many people interested in Montina, a force that suddenly rose in Romagna.
Although the previous war with the Venetians has made Montina show the ugly, but this short conflict with the Genoese, but it has caused even more attention.
After all, the last war Montina was only an unobtrusive supporting role in the coalition. Whether it was the influence of troops or combat, people were more concerned about the Genoese and Calgino who directly defeated the Venetians.
But this time, Alexander only relied on his own army. He first defeated the army led by Calgino on a small river called Goat Creek. Later, he and Calgino each attacked and defended each other for several consecutive days. Victory or defeat.
But these are not the most important.
The point is that in the end he did not suffer a fiasco because of his weakness in this apparently unequal conflict.
What many people are concerned about is not so much what Alexander achieved on the battlefield, but what is outside the battlefield.
"Someone wants to see you, but instead of going to Pizza, they come to Montina."
Feeling a bit of weirdness in Barendi ’s tone, Alexander glanced at her slightly interestingly. He really wanted to see Barendi ’s jealousy, but he felt that this might be a bit of misery, because unless it was to her family There was a threat, otherwise Barendi would not care about Lucrecia or any other woman because of jealousy.
"who is it?"
Alexander is a little curious. He knows that with the end of the conflict with the Genoese, Montina may attract many people's attention, but he does not know who will come in contact with himself first.
Alexander had thought of Venice, Milan, and even Bologna.
But when he heard Barenti say "Ferrara", Alexander couldn't help but be shocked.
"Ferrara?"
"Yes, the Tikons of Ferrara have sent people, they seem to have something to discuss with you."
Barenti doesn't seem to be unhappy because the person coming from Ferrara refuses to tell her the truth about the visit. Perhaps in her opinion, the news that will be easily revealed will not be a valuable thing.
Alexander glanced at Barenti strangely ~ EbookFREE.me ~ and determined that there was nothing special about her look.
There is nothing particularly interesting about this place in Ferrara, the only thing that is noticeable is that this place is very close to Venice.
Or Ferrara is the place where the Venetians entered Romagna after all.
As for Ferrara ’s Tikon family, it is not much different from the nobles of other city-states.
But there are indeed two reasons why Alexander is so concerned about this visitor.
One is that the Ticon family is one of the oldest families of the Italian aristocracy. Their ancestors can even be traced back to the time of the Lombard Kingdom.
Another reason is that a few years later, there will be a war for the Duke of Ferrara,
The war was launched to win the old Rovere, who was the Duke of Ferrara, for his son.
At that time, he was already the famous God of War Pope Julius II.
