The Rise of the European Emperor

After arriving at the room where Ferris lived, Marin had a smile on his face and hugged Ferris, who was already pregnant, but was pushed away by Ferris:

"Go, go, go, don't hurt the baby!" The little wild cat Felice changed her previous wild image and seemed to have a maternal aura.

"Hey, it's alright, I'll hold you, don't mess around!" After Marin was pushed away, he didn't give up, and came up with a drooling face.

Just after a few words of love with Ferris, Marin suddenly felt that the air around him quickly cooled down...

He turned his head and saw the angry face of his father-in-law - Archbishop Rovere...

"Boy, you're finally back!" Archbishop Rovere said with red eyes and gritted teeth.

"Uh...ah...yes, dear father-in-law, do you have any instructions?" Marin was also very guilty at this time. Because he married Angela, but cheated Ferris into bed again, it was really unkind. Although Archbishop Rovere has two daughters, he has only one de facto son-in-law, Marin. Today, the youngest daughter has been enlarged by Marin, no wonder Archbishop Rovere is furious now...

Malin suddenly felt that his father-in-law was full of anger, and he might kill him in anger...

Sure enough, Archbishop Rovere picked up a broom, rushed over, and shouted:

"I beat you to death, you shameless thief, and actually lied to my two daughters!" In that posture, it seemed that the broom was used as a battle axe.

Marin knew that he was right, and of course he ran away. So, Weng and his son-in-law started "hide and seek" in the harem of the Aurich Palace.

When the guards of the palace heard the movement, they wanted to rush over to help, but they were all driven away by Marin. Just kidding, his father-in-law is a man who wants to be the Pope. If one of his guards accidentally hurt him and made him not a pope, then he would be the one crying. Therefore, he could only hold his head and run away, not daring to fight back, nor to ask for help.

When he saw that Archbishop Rovere seemed to be running out of energy, Marin salivated his face and covered his face with both hands. But in fact, at this time, Archbishop Rovere had no strength, and the broom came over, and it didn't hurt at all.

Marin squatted in a corner where no one else noticed, and covered his head and face with his hands, causing Archbishop Rovere to snort a few times. But Archbishop Rovere is already 60 years old, and he was exhausted just after chasing Marin, how can he still have strength? Therefore, when the broom slapped on Marin, there was no force.

While trying desperately to protect his "handsome" face, Marin murmured in his heart:

"Hmph, if it wasn't for the fact that you always wanted to be the Pope, I wouldn't have given you a chance to hit me. Hey... Who told you to always be the Pope... Forget it, just take a few hits, anyway. No one else has seen this corner..."

"You bastard, you already have Angela, why do you still provoke Felice?" After a few hits, Archbishop Rovere was also exhausted, and simply threw the broom and started shouting at Marin.

"This...the guy is so handsome, there's no way..." After speaking, Marin showed a Kahn-like simple and honest smile.

Archbishop Rovere was so angry that he almost spat out a liter of old blood - he had never seen such shameless...

If Marin knew what Archbishop Rovere was thinking at the moment, he would have answered nonchalantly:

"Why do you want face? Affordability is the most important thing..."

In fact, Marin didn't take a fancy to Ferris's "beauty". When it comes to appearance, Ferris is much worse than Angela. However, Felice is also the daughter of Archbishop Rovere. If Felice married someone else, it would be easy to share Angela's "father love". Although Felice is not as favored as Angela, she is not sure that Ferris will find a husband in the future, more favored than herself in front of her father-in-law. At that time, even if the old man becomes the pope, he will not fully support himself alone. Because he has another son-in-law to take care of...

Marin didn't want my father-in-law to come up with another son-in-law to compete with him for his father's political resources.

So, he simply accepted Ferris, who was above average... Besides, it was quite exciting for my brother-in-law to steal my sister-in-law...

The most important thing is that once Felice becomes his lover, when the old man becomes the Pope, he will be his only son-in-law... Whether he likes it or not, he can only take care of himself at that time... ...well, and those of the Rovere family...

"Isn't Angela bad? She is more beautiful and has a better personality than Ferris. Why are you going to provoke Ferris? Ah? Ferris is your mistress, and the children born in the future are all illegitimate children. An illegitimate child without inheritance!" Archbishop Rovere yelled at Marin.

"It's nothing, my father-in-law, if Ferris gives birth to a son, wouldn't you just be appointed as the Cardinal of Rome?" Marin replied nonchalantly.

As the pope, he has the privilege to directly promote his relatives to the cardinals of Rome (also called cardinals). The illegitimate son of the current Pope Alexander VI, Caesar Borgia, was a Roman cardinal (cardinal) before, and is a Roman cardinal less than 20 years old. However, after the assassination of his brother Giovanni, Caesar became the military commander of the Papal State and reached an agreement with Louis XII to obtain the title of Duke of Valentino.

Moreover, this is not the invention of Alexander VI, but the "unspoken rule" of the Holy See. The Pope of Rome is generally from a wealthy family in Italy. After these popes ascend the throne, they often use the power in their hands to enshrine several family descendants or important allies to directly become cardinals. In this way, it can also ensure that his family will hold important rights in the Holy See for a long time, and it will last forever.

You know, the Cardinal of Rome is not a decoration, he has the right to vote for the Pope. As long as you become a cardinal of Rome, every time the pope is elected, it is the time to make a fortune. Because, if the Pope wants to be elected successfully, he must buy these cardinals.

Even if Julius II became the Pope in the original history, the reformation of this drawback allowed the two younger generations of Pope Grace and Yin to directly become Cardinals of Rome. Therefore, Marin said that it is completely easy to make Archbishop Rovere the Pope and the illegitimate son of Enyin and Ferris to become a cardinal.

Archbishop Rovere probably also thought of this, and did not say anything, tacitly acquiescing to Marin's statement. However, after a period of silence, Archbishop Rovere suddenly said:

"Rome is ready. I plan to go south in a while. Are your troops ready?"

When Marin heard this, he immediately became excited. Of course he understood what Archbishop Rovere meant when he said "ready", that is, he was ready to poison Alexander VI and his son at any time. At that time, Archbishop Rovere can also go south to fight for the Pope. When Archbishop Rovere becomes the Pope, isn't he "the Pope and his son-in-law"? Thinking of this, Marin is very happy...

Regarding the question from his father-in-law, Marin certainly knew what the other party wanted to ask:

"I'm ready, on Lampedusa Island, not far from Carthage (the ancient name for Tunisia) in the south of Sicily, there are 5,000 veterans!"

"Are you sure you can take Rome?" asked Archbishop Rovere worriedly. You must know that there are also mercenaries led by Caesar Borgia in the city of Rome.

"No problem, I can send people to sneak into Rome first. When the army arrives under the city of Rome, these people suddenly come out, seize the city gate, open the city gate, and put the large army in..."

"You seem to have used this trick in Oldenburg and Glückstadt, in Rome..." Archbishop Rovere meant to ask if Rome would be prepared accordingly .

"Impossible. The two siege battles took place in northern Europe. The city of Rome is in southern Europe, and the news didn't spread so fast. What's more, you are ready now and can do it at any time. Before the news reaches Rome, we will Almost done." Marin said confidently.

Now is not the future, news does not spread so fast. By the time the news reached Italy, the veterans under Marin's command would have already controlled the city of Rome.

You know, in the city of Rome, there are only 2,000 defenders. If the city gate is not opened, of course, it can rely on the strong city wall to fight against the 5,000 army under Marin. But once the city gate is broken, facing Marin's army with a numerical superiority, the two thousand defenders will not have the slightest chance of victory. Because, Marin's army, are well-trained elite veterans. And Caesar Borgia's mercenaries were just a group of Italian mercenaries, not the opponents of German mercenaries at all. What's more, the veterans under Marin's command are the ace of German mercenaries...

However, in order to ensure the safety of his father-in-law and the security of inheriting the Pope's seat, after thinking about it, Marin felt that the matter was a big deal, so he simply prepared to send Schwartz, the number one general under his command. At that time, Schwartz will lead 2,000 elites and bring a number of heavy artillery to participate in the attack on Rome. 7,000 veterans, enough to hang up Caesar Borgia's group of rubbish...

The Archbishop of Rovere is obviously aware of Schwartz's position in the counties of East Friesland and his abilities. With Schwartz personally present, and with 2,000 new reinforcements and a large number of ships, Archbishop Rovere was very satisfied. Because, this will make him safer and more secure when he competes for the Pope...
