Vol 7 Chapter 248: Wife, Regent, and Duchess

Balenti sat in the dome, her head resting on the back of a high chair, her hands on the armrests of the chair, and her eyes slowly swept through the dome.
The vault is not large, and it is filled with all kinds of art, books, documents, and a few pieces of bulky furniture.
Fortunately, the roof of the vault is very high, and it is so deep that it is the deepest part of the dome-shaped roof because the light is dark.
A large bookshelf standing against the wall is filled with maps, manuscripts, transcripts of important commands and related records.
But the most important place in this vault is the secret cell of the device, which contains Alexander’s combat command, as well as a decoded index of correspondence with Barenti.
Now Balenti is holding a letter in her hand. This is already her own interpretation, but she seems to have seen Alexander's handwriting.
"I never thought I would leave you for such a long time, which makes me miss you more than ever, and I am now eager to have a mind with your child, not only because I hope there is a The legal heir is because I want to repay everything you paid for me..."
Looking at the content of the letter, Balenti's lips slightly curled up, and she looked up again to see the full-filled vault. This room was too messy, surrounded by a huge desk and surrounded by walls. It was filled with all kinds of things, so that no corner was empty.
But Barendi loves this room, not only because it is not only a small but very messy room, but also represents the seat of the highest power in the Principality of Rome, and because it is the love nest of her and Alexander.
This is also the most proud place of Barendi.
Of all the women in Alexandria, only she has the experience of embracing him intimately here, at the feet of the place where she is sitting now, in front of the burning fire, on the warm animal skins spread on the ground, Even on the huge desk in Alexandria that had handled countless important military affairs, they were insanely intimate, asking for joy from the other side again and again.
Only Alexander knew what Barrondi had under his ordinary appearance, but what fascinated him.
In this Principality of Rome Theseia, perhaps also the seat of the highest power of the future kingdom, enjoying the crazy and exciting joy has become the "privilege" that Barenti has.
Thinking like this, Barendi couldn't help laughing, but she thought about it and then sighed again.
Alexander said it well. They have been separated for a long time. The most important thing is that with the passage of time, Alexander's identity has undergone amazing changes.
"Will I be queen?"
Whenever I think of this, Barendi has a sense of unreality like this.
Who could have imagined that this marriage, which was only for the purpose of enticing the Count Modillo of Naples, has now become like this.
When she thought she would become the queen of a powerful kingdom one day, Balenti was uneasy because she was worried. She had many opponents, and each of them was not a fuel-efficient lamp.
Even Lucrezia, who looks a little stupid, can't stand that woman will please men.
As for the other two women, Barendi did not want to think about them.
One was a barbarian woman who had the same experience of co-death with Alexander and was almost frustrated and brave. The other was a sister who could not help her but could not help her.
Barendi feels that her opponents are all naturally against her.
Fortunately, however, the title of Duchess of Rome Thesia finally fell on her head, and as the regent of the Principality, Barendi thought that she could help Alexander more than any other woman except Rosa.
She was not self-righteous, and the praise of Alexander in her letter also made Barenti very happy.
"I never imagined that you have helped me so much. When I decided to replace me with the Principality, I believe you can help me stabilize the country during the time away from Rome Thesia, but you have been intelligent Reminded me that I still underestimated you, my wife and queen."
Seeing this title, Barenti's heart jumped, and she clearly felt Alexander's ambition that was not concealed, and at the same time, she was secretly excited that she could really have that status one day.
Old Rovere had hinted that if Alexander really wore a crown, he might be dissatisfied with his marriage. After all, he needed to think more about the country, even if he had a wife who matched his status, Barron Di did not meet the requirements for becoming a queen anymore.
This is why Barenti has been uneasy during this time.
Now seeing the title in Alexander's letter, the dark cloud that had been suppressing my heart dispersed instantly, and Barenti sat in the chair for a moment, even feeling a sense of prostration that became too weak because of being too relaxed.
"But before we wish for the future, we need to minimize the threats our kingdom may face, so we think we need to carry out the next plan."
Barenti looked at the letter word by word carefully. She knew that Alexandria liked to incorporate something that made her blush and heartbeat in this important letter, but once it was serious, it might be the key to determining the future destiny of everyone.
"We must let the Venetians understand once again that their position in this war must be pragmatic and positive, rather than becoming an unstable factor in regional security," Barenti sees this in his sentence with a quill pen Circled
"I think our army has started the Battle of the Po River at this time. If all goes well, we have successfully established a buffer between Venice and Lombardy."
Balendi could not help nodding, and then she realized that Alexander was not around.
"We must make the Venetians clearly aware that they must accept our arrangements for Lombard affairs, and believe that by now everyone should have understood that our goal is Venice, which is why the Battle of the Po River was launched. We must use strong force to deter Venice, and if necessary, coerce them to accept that the already occupied Veneto region is a long-term buffer zone for both parties."
Balenti smiled, her most beautiful face filled with a trace of pride.
Balendi is always arrogant, because she has no striking beauty, so she uses unremitting efforts to prove her talents.
Whether it is for the Rovere family, the former Montina and the current Roman Thesia, she has made everyone realize that she is an indispensable assistant around Alexander.
Over the past few years, Barendi has used facts to establish her value as an Earl’s fiancee and duchess. When Alexander was not in the country, she became not only a regent, but also an implementer of his strategic deployment.
While competing for Lombardy, coveted the land of Veneto, this is a plan that even the bold and crazy people would not think of, let alone put this plan into practice.
But Alexander was brewing this plan when Louis XII first invaded Lombardy.
For this he spent nearly 2 years doing various preparations.
He built various fortifications, large and small, on the border between Montina and Venice, and built a very simple and easy road network. Then, after a slight victory in the war, he immediately proposed "Genoa-Parma-Po River line".
The purpose of all this is not for Lombardy, but for Veneto in the end.
This plan is huge, complex, and long. From 1500 to the present, without many people knowing the true intention of this plan, it was Balenti and him step by step that made this plan a reality from paper fantasy.
Alexander’s real goal was never Lombardy!
At least in this situation, it is in his best interest to use Lombardy to pin French and Austrian people to Northern Italy.
Although playing Italy’s reunification nearly three centuries in advance was really a tempting idea, Alexander knew it was unrealistic today.
Whether it was Caesar or later Rovere, they had dreamed of unifying Italy.
Caesar eventually lost his life inexplicably, and Old Rovere seemed to be so close to realizing this ambition, but eventually he could not see the unification of Italy until he went to see God.
This is not to say that these two people have no ability to achieve unity, but that their opponents are so powerful that even the current Alexander must be cautious.
Neither France nor Austria can tolerate the appearance of a unified Italian kingdom.
For this, the feuds can even temporarily join forces against enemies who want to challenge them.
Especially today, although it is not as good as it used to be, the majesty of the Vatican remains, so a completely unified Italian kingdom with the Vatican Holy See is too unbearable for all parties.
So Alexander was even thinking about whether he should let the era of the Great Split come as soon as possible, although Martin Luther was no longer there, but it was not difficult for him.
But now his goal is Veneto.
After attacking Venice and invading Veneto, after occupying a piece of land adjacent to Rome Thesia, quickly established a buffer zone there to nominally cut off the connection between the Venetians and Lombardy, in fact, a buffer zone for long-term occupation, The principality of Rome Theseia can start the next step.
In this way, the fortifications and roads that Montina established between the area and Venice earlier played a real role.
When both the Eastern and Western legions attacked Venice at the same time, the materials that had been mobilized to the border areas of the two northeast sides to resist the possible invasion of the Venetians began to play an important role at this time.
Whether it is food, money, weapons or drug tents, these materials that were originally purely defensive in the eyes of the Venetians instantly became the guarantee of invasion.
Behind the fleet that is constantly being transported to the front is a meticulous plan and huge financial support.
And it is Balendi who makes all this happen.
"Crazy Alexander."
Barendi whispered to herself, although she felt that it was impolite to judge her husband, but it was very appropriate, because only such a word is the most appropriate.
Madness is not all without reason, but to do things that are almost impossible to succeed in the eyes of others.
But once successful, the benefits that can be exchanged for this are large enough to be dazzling.
Or it is because this benefit is too great to eat for a while.
At least Barendi is facing this situation now.
This time, the actions of Roma Thesia were too bold and unexpected, completely exceeding the Venetians' expectations, so that they not only captured Padua, their striker even reached Venice's entrance on the land Mestre!
In fact, it can already be said that the soldiers are under the city. If it is not the city of Venice, which is located on an island surrounded by water, perhaps the Roman Thesia siege cannon has already begun to speak.
Such a result probably surprised the whole of Europe.
Thinking of this, Barendi couldn't help but smile proudly.
It's just that the areas occupied by the Roman Thesia army are too much and too fast, so that their heels in those Veneto lands are not stable.
Barendi took Alexander's letter in one hand and supported his cheek in the other, his eyes on a map on the table.
Then she stretched out her finger and tapped on a place called Rovigo on the map, and then drew a small circle around the place.
Barendi knew Rovigo because Constantine had shown her a few years ago that she had defeated a famous swordsman from the Venetian sword school there.
In addition to this, her only impression of Rovigo is that this is an important port in the interior of the Adige River.
Once occupied, it means that the entire rich delta on the lower reaches of the Po River plain is completely under the control of the Roman Thesias.
"I don't want much, the Po Delta is enough to stop me."
This is the original words of Alexander in the letter, and Barenti copied this sentence unchanged into a letter to the governor of Venice, Leonardo Rollette.
On the border between the two sides that was originally lined by the Po River, the Roman Thesia army attacked the Venetian army under the command of Barbaro Gia after successive attacks, and the striker once forced the city of Venice.
Then the Duchess of Rome Thesia, in the name of Regent of the Principality, appealed to the Venetians for a truce.
However, Barendi clearly stated in his heart that the conditions for retiring the soldiers and making peace were that the Venetians had to cede all territories north of the Po River and south of the Adige River.
These include three cities and ports including Rovigo on the Adige River.
When this letter was sent to Venice, UU read the book www.uukanshu.com Venice City in an uproar.
Alexander's true intentions were finally revealed in front of people.
And on the same day that Barrondi's letter was sent to Venice, in the castle in the Loire Valley, Louis XII ordered the summoning of the Moors who were already famous in his court,
"I don't care why you must stay here. I won't tell your master that I have ordered the occupation of Milan."
The Pharaoh, who was busy with the work at hand, almost said nothing, and sent Wuliu out.
But the Moors were not angry at all with Louis' arrogance.
As soon as he left the king's room, he couldn't wait to go back to his place to collect things.
Then completely disregarding those maidservants who looked at him with a grieving look, whistle and mounted a mule, and left the French court where he had been staying for half a year.
