Vol 6 Chapter 50: Alfonso's counterattack

Normezi looked at the two boxes that were not far away, as well as the two Balkans standing next to the box. These two were his entourage and guards, but Normezi did not doubt that they were by his side. The spy and the executioner, if he really talks nonsense with the French, these two people may cut off his head at any time.
It ’s just that in Normezi ’s opinion, the Balkans are too stupid to fight with them. If they do n’t have a decent officer, they will just rampage, and even now he still feels worthless for his failure at St. John ’s Monastery, But he also admits that Alexander ’s flexible method of using Balkan people ’s ability to attack the monastery is wonderful. The key is that this method is not new at all, but nobody at the time, including Normezi himself, no one thought of it.
So Normezi doubted whether these two Balkans could accomplish the task of monitoring him, or that Alexander had other means. As for the possibility of trusting him to the point of no doubt, Normezi would follow have not thought.
According to the route, Normezi will take a boat along the coastline to the northwest, that is, in the direction that the French fleet may appear, and then after he gets in touch, the French will need to send him to Louis XII. Report him the situation in Naples, and then see how Louis XII decides.
"Earl, I hope you travel smoothly, and hope that your task can be completed as soon as possible." Alexander walked slowly on the board of the pier, he also glanced at the two suitcases and the two entourage standing beside "Please Bring my respect to the King of France, but I believe the King does not like to see me personally. "
Normezi was slightly surprised. He heard that Alexander seemed to be an acquaintance with Louis XII. This made him feel moved. After all, he was thinking about something. Now he suddenly heard that these two people are acquaintances, so whether they are friends or not The enemy, Normezi, felt that he should be more cautious. After all, no one can say who and who will change from friend to enemy, and from enemy to base.
"Tell Louis that if he remembers why he ventured to Sicily, he should understand that today Naples cannot fall into the hands of the Aragonese." Alexander did not intend to conceal how Normezi originally saw Louis X. Second, after all, this matter is not a secret, not to mention that even Louis, who was the Duke of Orleans at that time, did not care about his identity, of course, he did not need to hide it for him, even if he was not worried about causing Louise ’s dissatisfaction. He also wanted to make a big announcement, at least let Ferdinand know what the French king had done to his Sicily.
In any case, Normezi was accompanied by two tall Balkans on board the ship, and then left Naples.
And Alexander was not idle, and while he arranged Normezi to find the French, he sent someone a letter to another old man, in which he first expressed the Pope ’s support for Mahimo Thanks for being a cardinal. This is one of the few miracles between Alexander VI and Rovere Reverend. He then cleverly told the Pope that the Aragonese might try to get involved in Naples.
When Gonzalo's blatant humiliation of Alexander VI after entering Rome is still vivid, even many Romans take this out from time to time as a joke and talk, Alexander believes that the pope will not fail to hear about this. And he could n’t easily forget the shame and anger of being publicly humiliated, so Alexander wondered if the pope knew about it, he would not easily let go of this good opportunity that might stir the wind and rain.
In this way, the destruction of the French and the Pope will become an obstacle that prevents Ferdinand from comfortably achieving his goal, but the key to everything is Naples.
After sending Normezi away, Alexander suddenly inspected the Cosenza Grenadier as the Napoli garrison appointed by the princess, and looked at those who although the queue and costume could not compare with the hunting guards, but already showed out of the past Other grenadiers of different styles in the army, while Alexander applauded Ruosha's performance secretly, he was also contemplating the next steps.
But the bad news somewhat ruined his plan, and King Frederick's condition worsened.
In Alexander ’s plan, Frederick should not die so quickly, because if it seems that Alfred ’s succession at this time seems to have fully grasped Naples, the resulting power changes will consume too much. More time and energy, and a sick Frederick is more in line with the temporary compromise of the old and new forces in Naples, and then face the situation of the upcoming change together.
So Frederick's sudden illness made Alexander a little irritated, but he couldn't blame Schell for it. After all, it was not his specialty for Schell to play with poison.
When Alexander rushed to the royal palace, a group of people were talking around the king's bedroom. When they saw his appearance, people immediately shut up and gave way.
Alexander couldn't take care of these people. He walked directly into the bedroom and walked into the dormitory. When he entered the door, there was a bad smell, which made him shook his head secretly. Such an environment is that a healthy person may get sick, more Not to mention the patient.
The Archbishop of Naples is here again, but this time there is no queen to stop him from making the noise of preparing for the king ’s final confession. There are many people in the room but there is no opening. Even the archbishop just stood by the bed and looked down Frederick, who was panting.
Alfred is also here, his eyes are deep in his eyes and black, and his eyes sometimes stay on his wife and then look at the others. When he sees Alexander coming in, he seems to say something, but he can shake his head. Then he showed doubt again, and seemed to forget the topic all at once.
Alexander glanced at Zuosha a little bit reproachfully. He didn't know how much Zuosha had drunk this kind of herbal drink called Thiotoros for the unlucky prince, but from his trance-like look, it was estimated that Zuosha had The inventory is cheaper than the nominal husband.
Titoros, digitalis, will cause the heart rate of the elderly to increase, and if taken too much, it may even cause sudden death of myocardial infarction on the spot.
Even healthy young people can cause vomiting and dizziness. If the dose is too large, it will cause blood flow blockage to the brain.
Alexander thought of these common senses that he had inadvertently knew before, and secretly lamented that he was really influenced by the Borgia family, or perhaps it was the relationship with Lucrezia that made him involuntarily start with a Borgia Looks at everything around him.
This is probably why he felt that Alexander VI was closer to Old Rovere.
Just as Alexander was standing in the middle of the crowd, thinking suddenly, there was a whisper in the outside corridor. Although the voice quickly suppressed, people still looked at the door involuntarily, wondering who else was coming. Too.
A figure appeared at the door, and then the man hurried away from the person in front, even pushing Alexander who was blocking the road, and then rushed over.
Alexander looked at the man's back in a daze for a while, but he didn't react for a while.
The illegitimate son of Alfonso II, the half-brother of Ferdinand, and the brother of Xia San, Giovanni ’s widow, and Alfonso, who almost became Billecelli, who became Lucrezia ’s second husband Came to Naples.
The appearance of Alfonso seemed to surprise Alfred. He looked at his cousin stunned, until Alfonso put him in his arms and slapped him on the back. Alfred did n’t. Woke up with two coughs.
"Is it you, Alfonso?" Alfred asked a bit dazedly, his brain bulging, there are too many inexplicable things these days, most of the time he was sleeping, but when he woke up He was always happy to see his wife by his side, which made him very happy, but he didn't know how soon he felt sleepy again, and then he slept again.
Looking at the cousin who appeared suddenly, Alfred tried to think about it with his brain, which had become a little dull. Perhaps, after touching some inspiration, his look suddenly became a bit bad.
"It's me Alfred, how are you doing now, how is your majesty?" The young duke said as he squeezed to the bed, when he saw Frederick's breathless breath. Alfonso froze for a moment and then looked up at Alfred. "Is it good for your majesty?"
"I don't know. You have to ask my wife. Do you know that I am married?" Alfred felt his head confused again. He used to look at Luo Sha, but he saw that Lu Sha seemed to be looking at Ah. Fang Suo was fascinated. "This is Alfonso, Duke of Billy Shelley, you know."
"Yes, I know." Zuosha looked at Alfonso with a strange look, and she didn't expect that the illegitimate child of Alfonso II would suddenly appear, but thinking about Billie Shelley was not very far from Naples. Far away, she also wanted to understand why Alfonso suddenly appeared.
Obviously, the news that Frederick fell ill reached Billy Shelly, or there was also a rumor that Alfred became mentally abnormal due to the stimulation of the mother ’s rebellion, so if you understand this, you can guess Why did the illegitimate child of Alfonso II come in a hurry.
Ruosha's eyes stayed on Alfonso's body, and then she glanced at the already coming Alexander, her mouth slightly curled up, sneering and taunting.
Of course, Alexander understood the meaning of Ruosha's expression, and no one knew better than Lusha about his dealings with every woman. Sometimes, when Alexander complained to her, she even wrote to her brother to make a decision. How to calm down the trouble that those women brought him.
So seeing Alfonso, Ruosha naturally thought of the fact that this man had almost become Lucrezia's husband, which made her believe that Alexander should be very reluctant to see the duke.
At this time, Alfonso also noticed Alexander.
There was a slight panic on his face, but soon he calmed down again. He looked at Alfred and then the nobles around him, and then he twitched his chest ornaments because of the rush. .
Just waiting for him to speak, the archbishop who had been staring at Frederick's expression suddenly said: "Are you ready?"
People couldn't help but look at it, Frederick's face was starting to turn purple at this time, and the clothes on his chest were ripped off as if it was still violently fluctuating because of the heat, and was inserted into a reed tube on his arm The blood flowing out was almost full of the entire copper basin on the ground next to it.
"The king may be called." When the archbishop said this, his eyes quickly glanced at Ruo Sha, and then picked up the Bible beside his pillow.
"Your Majesty, do you want to confess," the Archbishop asked gently in Frederick's ear, and then nodded no matter whether he heard it or not? Then please put your hands on this truth that the Lord gave to the world In the book, then swear before God that you will be honest with your life before God ’s judgment, and then sincerely ask God ’s forgiveness for your life ’s guilt.

The Archbishop said that he placed Frederick ’s already stiff hand on the Bible, and then whispered:
Now that you are standing in front of God, your soul will no longer belong to the world but belong to the kingdom of God, so you can There is no need to cover up the sins you have committed because of the world, and God will determine your right and wrong for everything. "
Frederick, who always looked straight at the roof, suddenly shuddered. His original dull eyes seemed to move, and his neck, which had not been moved for a long time, actually twitched slightly.
The nobles standing by the bed made a sudden commotion, and the branches of the Naples royal family squeezed up and seemed to expect something, and they seemed to want to hear their name from the king's mouth.
Everyone was nervous at this moment, even though they knew that Alfred would become the new king of Naples if they were not expected, but everyone had some kind of inexplicable hope in their hearts.
Frederick's eyes moved again, which caused excitement again. When his eyes fell on Alfonso's face standing by the bed, he seemed to be irritated by an accident.
There was a murmur of meaninglessness in the king's throat, whispering and burping.
He squeezed into Alphonso's ear, who immediately paid his body and leaned his ears over, and then heard nothing, then the king's head suddenly lifted, and the whole body fell into the bed.
People whispered, watching the Archbishop slowly put his hand on Frederick's forehead, and everyone's heart began to pick up at this moment.
"King, called."
Despite his heart, the archbishop ’s chest caused a panic. As a prepared servant banged a death knell placed by the door, bursts of repressed and uneasy whispers and exclamations came from near the corridor. Gradually spread to the distance.
Many people were not surprised about Frederick ’s death. Although the king suddenly fell ill on his son ’s wedding night, it seemed a bit weird, and rumors about the king ’s poisoning were not without, but because of Frederick ’s Alive, so even if you guess that the king might have an accident, people still do not want this to happen.
This is not because the king Frederick was more popular, but at this time people still hope for less turbulence, so when the death knell is heard, no matter what the heart thinks, the Naples ca n’t help but fall into great grief at this moment. Among.
"Pray for King Frederick I." The Archbishop stood at the head of the King's bed with the two auxiliary bishops and began to chant the Bible. At the same time, the Archbishop gently applied the prepared anoint to Frederick's grayed forehead and On the cheeks.
"The king is dead."
As the archbishop announced, the crowd beside the bed knelt on the ground, and at the same time people looked at the crown placed on the velvet cushion beside the head of the bed.
Alfonso's throat moved, and he looked up at the archbishop, his eyes gleaming hot. When he saw the archbishop holding the crown, Alfonso could not bear to straighten his waist.
"This is the crown of the Kingdom of Sicily," Alfonso said, seeing people's eyes coming, he felt a courage flooding his body instantly, so he simply stood up and looked at the people in the room "My father King Fonso passed the throne to my brother Ferdinand after his death. This proves that the Sicilian crown belongs to my father's lineage. You also saw the attitude of my uncle to me before he died, and his last words I hope that the crown can return to the heirs it should inherit, "said Alfonso suddenly with a loud sound that could be heard from the outside corridor." Here I announce that as the son of Alfonso II and Fei Di Nan II ’s brother, I, Alfonso Trastamala, Duke of Billy Shelley, inherited the Sicilian Kingdom of Naples! "
As soon as Alfonso's voice fell, the whole room and corridor were silent for a moment!
People stared blankly at the excitement while standing there trying to calm down Alfonso who was panting because of the tension, and then, after a brief lag, a burst of clamor suddenly broke out!
Some people stood up and expressed fierce opposition. Some people just kept calling "God!", While others asked blankly to others what was going on.
Alfred looked at Alfonso. The sudden situation in front of him was unexpected.
He knew that his father ’s means of obtaining the throne from his cousin could not be more glorious, but now his father was dead, and this Alfonso suddenly announced that he had the inheritance of the Naples throne just before his father ’s deathbed. The accident that caused Alfred was no less than the shock caused by his mother ’s involvement in the rebellion.
Ruosha was also very surprised. In her plan, she did not count the Alfonso of Billy Shelley. Now watching him suddenly come out and claim the right of inheritance, this even makes Ruosha a kind of illusion that seems not to be true. sense.
Listening to the noise around her, Ruosha's expression gradually sank, and she slowly stood up. With her movements, the quarrel in the room slowly disappeared, and everyone's eyes were focused on the young princess. .
Alfonso looked at people's behavior unexpectedly. He was still immersed in excitement at this time. Although he noticed that someone saw his eyes full of unbelievable, Alfonso didn't think how much he claimed. absurd.
"I am the son of King Alfonso, which proves that I have the right to inherit the throne. Maybe someone will attack me with my illegitimate son, but please do n’t forget that my great grandfather passed the throne of Naples to him. My illegitimate child, that is, my grandfather, so I have the right to inherit in this regard, "Alfonso said more and more excited, his eyes met Alfred, who glared, and then stared involuntarily. My cousin, "My sister Xia Sang is the daughter-in-law of the pope, and now I think you have heard about the relationship between the pope and the French, then you think that when the French may invade at any time, who will be the king is more able to protect Naples and yourself? "
Alfonso's words made the Naples pros and cons around him stunned. They looked at each other in amazement. For a time, they didn't know how to answer this question.
"Pappa ..."
A burst of applause suddenly sounded, and Alexander slowly came out of the crowd. He looked at Alfonso who smiled as much as he saw him, but he tried to make him look quite imposing. He couldn't help but admire this The Duke of Billy Shelley actually had the courage to compete for the throne of Naples at this time, and it is really powerful if you think about these reasons carefully ~ Duke of EbookFREE.me ~, as far as I know your My sister seems to be discussing marriage with a prince in the UK. Perhaps she will soon leave Borgia ’s house, and when it comes to her relationship with the pope, I think you have to ignore my existence, "Alexander went to Alfonso looked at his face in front of him, "To know that my daughter is the Duke of Pisa, and her mother is the Pope's daughter Lucrezia, then I would like to ask you, who has a closer relationship with the Pope? "
Alfonso's face became harder to look at. Alfonso hated but feared this gombre who was competing with him for Lucrezia.
"But I wouldn't be very angry with these, but you actually want to prevent my sister from becoming the queen of Naples, Duke. I can't bear this."
Alexander said that the look on his face became somber.
Just when Alfonso just realized that something was wrong, Alexander suddenly grabbed the hilt in his waist and slammed it up!
Accompanied by a scream, Alfonso fell to the ground.
When he fainted, he suddenly remembered how familiar this scene was.
