King of German Mercenaries

Marin began to feel a little anxious after giving away the letter from Archbishop Rovere. Because the development of things has exceeded his expectations.

Originally, he thought that Angela was just the niece of Julius II, and naturally he was not worried about Julius II interfering with Angela's marriage. However, now that Julius II suddenly became Angela's father, that changed.

What made Marin depressed was that the future pope decided to marry Angela to the son of Louis XII's favorite in order to curry favor with Louis XII.

Although it is said that Marin is now an earl, and an earl of an independent country, it is much more affordable than the earl of Louis XII's favorite. However, things don't work that way. That favorite, although he did not have the power of Marin, was able to influence the thoughts of Louis XII.

Archbishop Rovere, now declared a black bishop by the current Pope Alexander VI, is in a very bad situation. Therefore, his desire to seek the help of Louis XII and help fight back to Rome is very strong.

And only the European superpowers like France and Spain can use their tyrannical strength to intervene in the Roman issue. In other countries, Emperor Maximilian I of Shinra had too many domestic rivals to be distracted to help him pacify Italy. The United Kingdom is not strong at the moment, and the domestic opposition has not fully settled... After all, only France and Spain have the ability to help him...

However, Alexander VI was himself a Spaniard and was supported by Spain. Therefore, Archbishop Rovere wants to turn over and deal with Alexander VI, who is supported by the Spaniards, and can only rely on France.

Although Marin did well, he was only an earl of a small country, and he had no ability or qualifications to participate in Italian affairs. Therefore, between the heir of an earl who can influence the French king's decision-making and Marin, Marin estimates that there is a very high possibility that the Archbishop of Rovere will not choose himself.

Even this time Marin used the bag method to stop Archbishop Rovere's plan. However, because of Angela's active contact, Archbishop Rovere already knew that Angela was on his side. Therefore, Marin can hide it once, but cannot hide it several times...

If one day, Archbishop Rovere borrowed the influence of the French and forced himself to hand over Angela, he would be in a dilemma.

However, the Archbishop of Rovere wanted to return to Angela in order to marry Angela to the son of Louis XII’s favorite minister. After thinking about it, Marin decided to marry Angela as soon as possible. Once it became an established fact, Archbishop Rovere could only roll his eyes. Divorce is not popular these days. In principle, the church does not allow divorce unless the other party dies or betrays.

Even a British king like Henry VIII, who wants to divorce, needs to apply to the Pope and needs special approval. Later, Henry VIII even changed the whole of England to Protestantism in order to facilitate the divorce. He served as the supreme leader of the British religion, and if he wanted to divorce, he directly approved himself...

Because divorce is difficult, and only one wife can be married. Therefore, the lords of the Middle Ages often did not care whether the woman was married, as long as the other party was rich in dowry. Of course, if a married woman wants to remarry, in addition to a generous dowry, it is best to prove that she has given birth and is fertile. Because even the great nobles cannot easily get divorced. If you are unfortunate enough to marry an infertile woman, you can only accept the tragic fate of extinction.

It can be said that as long as Marin and Angela get married first, then Archbishop Rovere will no longer have anything to do. Unless Marin dies prematurely, Archbishop Rovere can take Angela away.

Just like Julius II's youngest daughter, Ferris, before, because he married an unknown small country landlord when he was in distress, it obviously made Julius II lose his face. So, when Julius II became the Pope, the unknown little landowner was probably harmonized... Anyway,

There is no problem with the remarriage of European widows... After that, Julius II also found Felice a duke's son as her husband...

Of course, that set won't work on Marin's side. Marin is not some unknown small country landowner who can't be casually harmonious. Moreover, according to Marin's status, it is still a good match with Angela.

However, the Archbishop of Rovere is now in a difficult situation and needs to please France to help him, so he is more inclined to the son of the count of the French King Louis XII.

But if Marin got the first move, then no one else would have anything to do. Just like Maximilian I was robbed of marriage. The reason for Charles VIII's robbing of the marriage was that Maximilian I did not appear in person to marry Anne of Brittany, but only adopted an informal proxy marriage method, which is innumerable. If Maximilian I had gone to marry Anne of Brittany and swore an oath, Charles VIII would not have been able to rob him. Unless, he is going to kill Maximilian I and make Anne a widow first...

All in all, as long as Marin marries Angela first, Archbishop Rovere's plan will fail. Moreover, he is not so easy to die, but there are powerful bodyguards like Kahn around. Moreover, Marin is by nature cautious. Since he was accidentally shot and crossed by bricks in his last life, in this life, Marin has learned a lesson and often has dozens of strong men by his side to prevent assassination. Therefore, if others want to assassinate themselves, they must have that strength.

Formally based on this consideration, Marin deliberately revised Archbishop Rovere's letter and encouraged Angela to marry him. Moreover, the father is usually present at the wedding, and he has to hand over the bride to the groom.

However, the problem is that Angela is an illegitimate daughter, and Archbishop Rovere cannot publicly appear as her father and attend the wedding at all.

Therefore, Angela also knows that her wedding is destined to let another person pretend to be her father and give herself to her future husband. Therefore, it is not particularly necessary for Archbishop Rovere to participate in the wedding. Of course, under normal circumstances, Bishop Rovere can still participate in the guests.

However, in the forged letter, Marin made an excuse for him that he could not come. This trick may be difficult to deceive people with rich experience in the society, but Angela is still a little girl, she is still underage, how can she have such insight?

So, when Marin's fake letter was handed to her, she was very happy. She was very happy that her father "supported her to marry Marin".

Apart from the fact that she likes Marin very much, it is definitely not a loss to marry Marin. Because, Marin has now become an earl of a country. Marrying Marin, that is the countess of this country, is equivalent to the queen of a small kingdom, and definitely makes a lot of money.

Because she was born an illegitimate daughter. If his father was the Pope now, it would be nothing to marry an earl. However, for now, Angela knew that her father was just a wanted criminal wanted by the Pope, and his status was very poor.

Under such circumstances, it would definitely be considered lucky to be able to marry an earl of a country. The only thing that worries Angela is whether Marin is willing to marry her...

After all, things are different now. Before, Marin was only a small baron on Texel Island, and it was not too wrong to marry him. However, now that Marin is already the controller of a country, the choice has become very large. Therefore, Angela has no confidence anymore...

You must know that after Marin became the count of East Frisland, although it was not recognized, no duke or earl was willing to marry his daughter to Marin. However, Angela knew in her heart that once Marin was widely recognized, the possibility of marrying those principalities or counties was very high.

Even now, not widely recognized, Marin is sought after by many baronial families, many of whom seek to marry their daughters to Marin.

For example, Jeffrey, the fat uterus, thought about marrying his youngest daughter to Marin. Angela knew about this. If it wasn't for Jeffrey's young daughter being too fat and not looking like Marin's requirements, Angela wouldn't know if this would have happened...

However, what Angela didn't expect was that Marin was planning to marry her early because he was worried that Archbishop Rovere would come to ask for someone.

However, considering that Angela is only 16 years old now, she is still underage. Marin suddenly felt that he was a beast, and actually wanted to start with underage girls... But there was no way, he was forced by the future Pope's father-in-law...
