Vol 3 Chapter 105: Afternoon at Portico Palace

In the Portico Palace, Caesar was watching carefully with a piece of paper.
He has been looking at the contents of this paper for a long time. If it is not his eyes that he is indeed watching carefully word by word, he may be considered to have lost his mind.
Perhaps it was too long. Caesar's appearance finally caught Lucrezia's attention. She walked away from teasing a parrot. She walked behind Caesar with some curiosity and stretched her hand to embrace his neck. "What are you looking at, so fascinated?"
"A less fascinating thing," Caesar turned around and patted Lucrezia on the cheek. "How about, do you want me to give you a gift?"
"I like it very much," Lucrezia looked back at the parrot standing on the delicate shelf. "I haven't seen such a beautiful parrot, especially because it is very smart."
"Of course, it's very valuable," Caesar said quietly and tucked the paper into his pocket, then took Lukrezia's shoulder and walked towards the parrot. "Let's see how smart it is. My sister likes it so much, "said Caesar deliberately whispering," If it is so smart, I will kill it. I don't want to fall out of favor because of a bird in front of you. "
"You can't fall out of favor, you are the best in my mind," after hearing this, Lucrezia held Caesar's face in his hands and looked at him carefully. "Sometimes I think, what can I do without you , So I am most grateful to God for bringing you all to me. "
"I think so too," Caesar's casual smile slowly faded, and a serious and focused look appeared on his face. "What can I do without you, maybe the world is really different, even if it is given to me I wo n’t be happy about the pope ’s throne. "
Lucrezia looked at Caesar with surprise, saying that she had never seen Caesar like this. Caesar was charming and elegant in her memory, even if he knew that he might not be as glorious as what he showed in front of him, but Lucre Zia never thought that what he or her other family did was wrong.
Even her father ’s young mistress, Lucrezia, treats her like her family, and Julia Farnei does make her like it. The young woman even made Lucrezia wonder if she was right. I like a woman.
As for the rest of the Borgia family, Lucrezia believes that they are all the best gifts God has given her. In fact, as Caesar said, she is equally difficult to imagine if there is no Caesar, Giovanni or Jeffrey What would it be like, this terrible imagination sometimes even made her cry inexplicably at night.
"You really deserve to be punished," Lucrezia patted Caesar's shoulder with an annoyed tone. "How can you say you can enjoy sitting on the Pope's throne without me, I think you should be wearing the most Poor clothes will always walk barefoot on the stone ground, and only then can you be really sad. "
"Yes, it really should be like that," Caesar nodded seriously. "We are family members, so we can't lose each other, otherwise everything will really be meaningless."
Caesar's words made Lucrezia satisfied "um", and then pointed to his pocket and said: "In this case, you don't want to tell me what is written in the letter, know that I have the right Who are the women who decide to stay with you? "
"This is not a love letter," Caesar smiled. "In fact, this is a very bad thing. I'm thinking about what to do, but you really shouldn't hear these things, and I promise you won't listen to them."
Lucrezia nodded if she understood, although she was always well protected, but she still heard a little bit about her family and family's reputation outside.
"Promise me to be careful not to hurt myself," Lucrezia took Caesar's face again and looked carefully. "I made a wish to God and hope our family will be together forever."
"Yes, our family is always together, and no one can separate us." Caesar nodded gently, and he kissed Lukrezia's head lightly.
Feeling Caesar's seriousness, Lucrezia giggled happily, and then she took Caesar to the macaw covered in colorful and bright feathers.
Lucrezia didn't pay attention, Caesar's hand reached into his pocket, clutching the letter sent to him by Giovanni not long ago.
That was a whistleblower letter used to accuse another Giovanni.
In this letter with his cousin, Lucrezia ’s husband Giovanni Sforza unreservedly expressed his dissatisfaction with the Borgia family, and he was also angry with his private life, The husband described his wife as a woman who was naive in appearance but slutty inside, even revealing conjectures about the intimacy between his wife and his family.
"I can hardly imagine that the intimacy of a family should be like this," the letter reads, "Even as a brother, it seems too intimate. This kind of abnormal and even disturbing feelings fill my life. In every corner of it, sometimes I will not see my wife for a whole week, and every time I see her, she is so happy, it seems that she is not lost because she is not around me. I ca n’t imagine who often fills the loneliness in her life at such a time, and as far as I know, at this time, her brothers always appear beside her, including even her Father. "
Looking at such content, Caesar felt that his hands were shaking, he knew that Lucrezia must not be allowed to see the things written on it, otherwise he would be hard to imagine what she would do stupid things.
Listening to the happy laughter of Lucrezia because of the macaw's tongue, Caesar was thinking about his brother-in-law.
In fact, he did not like Giovanni Sforza from the beginning. Caesar felt that he was not worthy of Lucrezia, even though at the time it seemed that the marriage with the Sforza family could give their father enough. The benefits, but Caesar still thinks that he was wronged by Lucrezia.
And then everything proved that Caesar's conjecture was not wrong. Giovanni Sforza was not a qualified husband. What's worse was that the marriage did not benefit the Borgia family.
And Caesar had always suspected that the powerful Forli tigress of the Sforza family was secretly ghosting.
The Borgia family has always been very alert to the woman at the Sforza family, and she is indeed very disturbing.
The Sforza family, born as a mercenary family, were labeled as tyrants from the moment they captured the title of Duke of Milan, which made them unable to get along with the lord aristocrats of other city-states.
Coincidentally, like many city-state families, the people of the Sforza family are very grouped, and because of their background, everyone in the Sforza family is not as troublesome as a hedgehog.
At the beginning, Alexander VI was fancy with the Sforza family in Milan, which seemed to be incompatible with anyone, especially because of the bad relationship with the Holy See in the early years, so that the family had almost no friends in the Vatican.
Alexander VI's plan and clarity, he felt that getting his daughter to marry a family with the Holy See all year round would make it easy to get an ally that was not easy to be bought by.
It is a pity that this calculation now seems to have completely failed.
Giovanni Sforza not only disagreed with the Borgia family, but the words between the lines revealed that he wished the family had fallen into hell, including his wife.
Caesar felt very angry!
Or he can't feel any other feelings except anger!
Whenever he thought of the vicious speculations in the letter, he had the urge to cut Giovanni Sforza's neck by himself!
"Maybe Giovanni will like this too."
Lucrezia's voice interrupted Caesar's contemplation, and he looked at his sister puzzled.
"I mean my husband," Lucrezia suddenly laughed. "I have two Giovanni in my house, but that's not too much. Maybe I will name my child Giovanni in the future."
Caesar's face was slightly uncomfortable when he heard the name, and he fell into Lukrezija's eyes like this, but he had other meanings.
"Caesar, you won't be jealous anymore," Lucrezia chuckled. "Then I promise that my second child is called Caesar. Smile. Actually, you have taken advantage of it, because Giovanni has two. Only one person can get half of it, and Caesar only has one. "
Seeing Lucrezia's happy look, Caesar could only respond to her with a helpless smile.
He clasped the letter's hand slightly, and when Lucrezia said again that she would let her husband look at the rare animal, he nodded in agreement.
Maybe there is another way. Caesar thought helplessly. He didn't want Lucrezia to know too much about it, and he didn't want to involve her.
Also, how did Giovanni get these letters?
At the thought of his brother, Caesar's heart gloomed again.
Caesar didn't feel jealous of Giovanni, he just thought that maybe he could better serve as a military commander of the papacy than a cardinal or cardinal.
Caesar longed to wear armor, ride on a war horse, and lead the army to face a strong enemy, which made him envious of that Giuliano de la Rovere.
Although he was a cardinal, Giuliano de la Rovere once led the army through the field, which Caesar has longed for but not available.
And because of the experience on the battlefield, Giuliano de la Rovere had a deep relationship in the army that no one else in the Vatican had, and because of this, even Alexander VI had to have him. Scruples.
This prestige established in the army is unique, and it can never be exchanged for gold and fine wine alone.
At least after having both of the first two, the party with military support always has a greater advantage.
So when Giovanni sent someone to send the letter, Caesar thought it was a provocation.
It was telling him that eventually the Borgia family would be named in history. It would not be his second son who would wear a monastic robe all his life, even if he might become a pope in the future.
Caesar feels very serious. As a member of the Borgia family, he cherishes every moment with his loved ones. Even Giovanni, he is willing to help and obey him.
But Giovanni didn't seem to think so, and he hoped that in the eyes of others, he was the only one remembered among the children of Borgia.
Caesar was annoyed by Giovanni, but what really worried him now was the relationship between Lucrezia and her husband.
Caesar did not know when Lucrezia's attitude towards Giovanni Sforza had changed, and he even regarded him as a relative.
This made Caesar feel uncomfortable and even annoyed.
Lucrezia didn't feel Caesar's thoughts. She walked out of the warm palace and walked slowly in the garden of Portico Palace under the slightly warm sunshine in the winter afternoon. She had fully grown up. A long shadow was cast on the ground by the sun, and Lucrezia lowered her head to find her reflection every step of the way, but every time the shadow took a step forward to "dodge", which made the distance Caesar couldn't help being amused by her innocent behavior.
If you want to chase your shadow ~ EbookFREE.me ~ how could it succeed, Caesar shook her head slightly, but if you want to step on the shadow of others, it is much easier, not even the shadow, even the owner of the shadow can do it. Stepped on my feet.
Caesar thought of this, and then looked at Lucrezia who was walking away.
Lucrezia in the sunlight was as lively as an elf, she jumped up and down uncontrollably, and sometimes lifted up her skirt to make herself more flexible.
Whenever this time, the two white legs under her skirt will be exposed. Although it is a bit red because of the freezing of the sky, under the pair of feet in the small brown leather shoes, her two smooth The calf supported her light body, like a bee on the petals that couldn't beat.
Caesar's face couldn't help but a spoiled smile appeared. Although Giovanni Sforza's affairs made him unhappy, when he looked at Lukrezija like this, he suddenly felt that many things didn't seem so important.
Caesar's mood suddenly improved, and he walked towards Lucrezia.
At this moment, he saw a soldier come around from a large, well-trimmed crown.
Caesar didn't pay attention to the soldier at first, but when he continued to move forward, he suddenly felt something was wrong.
This soldier is not aimlessly patrolling the garden, but walking straight towards Lucrezia who is having fun!
"Be careful!"
Caesar felt the danger, he warned loudly and ran towards Lucrezia at the foot!
Lucrezia was startled by Caesar's cry. She raised her head and looked puzzledly at Caesar running behind her, and then turned around in his gesture.
Appearing in front of her is a gleaming blade of light shone by the afternoon sun!
"No! ~~"
Caesar screamed with exhaustion.
