King of German Mercenaries

After the emperor and Marin laughed wickedly together, they suddenly thought of something:

"By the way, Marin, after this plan is successfully implemented, what reason should I use to recognize your legal status? You know, there must be an excuse, right? For example, you give credit or something. In this way, it can also block Saxony. Duke's mouth."

"Isn't it a credit to the minister for dedicating this strategy?"

"That's the case, but this tactic is not acceptable, and I can't use this excuse to reward you, it will affect my reputation..."

Well, Marin had to think hard again, thinking about it all night, and it wasn't until the next morning that Marin came up with a solution...

"Your Majesty, I have a solution!"

"Oh? What's the way? Let's just say it on the surface..."

"I am very sure of that!"

"Your Majesty, didn't this minister discuss with you before that you would pretend to be assassinated and be seriously injured?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

"Your Majesty, you can pretend that you are seriously injured, ordinary doctors can't see it well..."

"and then?"

"I brought two genius doctors over there, and happened to 'cured' Your Majesty and saved His Majesty's life. Is it a great achievement?"

"Can you do this? But it's a way... But, Marin, do you have a famous doctor? Don't bring a doctor who is not convincing..."

"Of course, the minister just invited two Mongolian doctors with superb medical skills from the Golden Horde..."

"Mongolian doctor? Can you do it?" The emperor had obviously never heard of the Mongolian doctor's prestige.

"Of course, at least in the treatment of bruises and bone setting, they are the top doctors at the master level! Your Majesty can send someone to go to Eastern Europe to find out. You don't need to go anywhere else, just go to the Teutonic Knights and find out. Doctor Mongolia. His medical skills are much superior to those of local European doctors..."

"Okay, it's up to you, I will pretend to be seriously injured when the time comes, and when you bring someone here, I will cooperate with you to perform a play, and just say that your Mongolian doctor cured my stab wound and saved me. Your life. Then, I have the excuse of saving my life and officially canonized you as an earl. I think the Duke of Saxony can't say anything..."

"Of course, His Majesty's life is very precious. It will definitely be convincing if you have saved your life!"

"By the way, you have to come up with more insidious good ideas for me in the future. I like it very much, and I want another large piece of territory, hehe..." Maximilian I was in a good mood. The Graubünden area has more than 7,000 square kilometers of land, and some principalities are not so big.

He was very fortunate that a genius like Marin belonged to his side, not his opponent. Just like Charles VIII, because he was the king of the enemy, he suffered a big loss and lost all face... It is estimated that if Charles VIII died early, he died of shame - Maximilian I thought... …

After a pleasant negotiation with the emperor, Marin returned to East Friesland in a relaxed and happy mood. However, after returning to Aurich, a letter from Paris made Marin's happy mood instantly disappear...

It turned out that the letter was sent by the Archbishop of Rovere in Paris, the future Pope Julius II. Before, Marin was commissioned by Angela to send someone to Paris to contact Archbishop Rovere. Now, Archbishop Rovere has indeed replied, and Marin is very happy. It seems that the future Pope still attaches great importance to Angela, and the reply is so fast. However, after peeking at the letter, Marin's face instantly darkened...

The letter was written in Latin, but luckily not in Italian, otherwise Marin wouldn't have understood it. Marin was very happy when he first started reading the letter. Because, from the title in the letter, Angela turned out to be the daughter of Archbishop Rovere, not a niece or something. In other words, marrying Angela is equivalent to becoming the son-in-law of the future Pope. This good news made Marin extremely happy and thought about it.

But read later,

Marlin's face turned black...

It turned out that when he sent someone to Paris to contact Bishop Rovere, Marin was only Baron Wadden. The Archbishop of Rovere looked down on a little baron like Marin with only a few broken islands (he didn't know how rich the Wadden Islands were). Therefore, in the letter, Bishop Rovere sternly asked Angela not to get mixed up with Marin. As for the saving grace, Bishop Rovere claimed that he would find a way to make up for Marin in the future.

However, on marriage, Archbishop Rovere said he had recently been in touch with the heirs of a French count. The other party saw the oil painting that Archbishop Rovere had asked the artist to paint for Angela, and expressed interest in Angela.

Therefore, Archbishop Rovere is planning to marry Angela to the earl heir. Because this count is the favorite of the new king of France, Louis XII.

The original patron of the Archbishop of Rovere was Charles VIII, but Charles VIII has died and a new king has ascended the throne. Bishop Rovere, exiled in Paris, is courting Louis XII. Therefore, he was happy to marry Louis XII's favorite. As for the "little country baron" like Marin, it is not in his consideration...

Marlin read the letter, his mouth crooked. Nimad, look down on Lao Tzu so much? Moreover, if Archbishop Rovere really took Angela to France and married the son of the French count, then he would be completely useless?

So, Marin thought about it, and decided to hold the letter first and not show it to Angela, lest the little girl have other ideas. Although Marin is very confident in himself, he is afraid that the little girl will listen to her father too much.

However, Archbishop Rovere's reply was still to be shown to Angela. Of course, whether it was the original letter, I can't say for sure...

Don't forget, Marin is a master at imitating handwriting...

Then, after a day's work, Marin imitated the handwriting of Archbishop Rovere and forged another "reply letter". In this letter, Archbishop Rovere's tone was completely different.

In the letter, "Archbishop Rovere" praised Marin as a good man. Moreover, he also said that entrusting Angela to Marin, he is most at ease...

In the end, Marin also made up a lie in the letter, saying that the Archbishop of Rovere was going to return to Italy with the army of Louis XII. So, he doesn't have time to attend his daughter's wedding, but he will send the best wishes...

After checking the letter again and again, I checked the original letter of Archbishop Rovere to see if there was any secret memory or the like. As a result, Marin really found that there was a special mark on the envelope, which was probably used to identify the authenticity and prevent outsiders from forging letters.

So Marin continued to use Archbishop Rovere's original envelope and resealed it in wax. However, the letters inside were dropped by Marin...
