The hero is a portrait

The duke sent gold coins and letters to Rome, but never heard back.

He was getting thinner and thinner day by day, knowing that there was no possibility between himself and Levidan, but he still couldn't refuse himself to sit by the desk, picked up the quill pen, and wrote down his thoughts on him:

"I went to the Earl of Pace's house yesterday, and Mrs. Pace's clumberspanie (Spanish spaniel) gave birth to a cub. The whole body is snow-white, with a little yellow at the tip of the ears. When looking for milk, the tips of the two puppies' noses touched each other, very cute. You once said that you wanted to see my dog-shaped state, but I regret that I am not the one you would like...

"In the past, I was too obsessed with reading and ignored you. You would deliberately overturn my coffee cup to see how I was in a hurry. Recently, I have frequently overturned my coffee cup by myself—could it have infected your habit? ——It’s just that at this time, I always forget to rescue the books, but I have to recall your beautiful smirk.

"Spain is getting hotter and hotter, and it's a good season to eat ice. How are you doing in Rome? I heard that Rome is hot and rainless, so I'm worried, afraid that your life will be uncomfortable..."

"..."

He stuffed the newly bloomed margaritas into an envelope before sealing it.He watched the manservant on horseback send the letters far away, and waited day and night since then, not knowing that these letters were eventually intercepted by Caesar.

Since the death of Giovanni, Caesar began to develop military affairs.And Rodri is trying to expand the ruling power of the Roman Church over Italy. He is eager to weaken the king's power and the church led by Borgia will unify Italy.For this reason, he wanted to seek the help of the King of France. Since the marriage with the Duke of Este was too "successful", Rodri almost immediately came up with Levidan's idea.Obviously this male and female boy has become more attractive after growing up. He has gradually revealed his heroic appearance, but it can arouse a kind of restraint in men.Taboo desire.see.

He triumphantly revealed this plan, but he did not know that this angered Caesar.

"Such a thing will never happen again."

"But Father is very cautious, very cunning, you know, he's even on your guard."

Caesar and Levitan complained about Rodri, who turned into a cat lying on the mat and asked Levitan to groom him.Although Levidan's unsuitable hand strength always caused his spine to be poked, he just grinned instead of avoiding it.

"Walking in Borgia's house, it is forbidden to carry any sharp utensils. In addition, my father also pays special attention to eating and drinking, and never trusts the food handed over by others."

"..." Regarding this, Caesar only showed a disdainful sneer.

In the end, Caesar fed the poison into Rodri's mouth with his own hands, at the cost of being poisoned himself-in order to trick Rodri into eating the poisoned meal, he almost took his life. The medicinal properties of "Cantarella" were too overbearing. Although Caesar rescued himself immediately, the severe toxicity still destroyed his appearance.Since then, his life has been accompanied by masks.

Caesar, who has the actual dominance of Catalonia and Valencia, wants to march westward and gradually erode Spain—he has basically unified Italy, and his ambition is more ambitious than that of his father Rodri .

At this time he came to Levitan and asked him to marry the Duke of Castile-Lamancha.

"The old man," said he, "I will help you kill his sons, so that you may inherit his title and lands."

Levidan was delighted, so he smiled and stroked Caesar's face, agreeing to him.

That's how they got their Castilian-Raman tea.

However, Caesar's westward advance was still hindered-Duke Alfonso-Este had excellent military capabilities and great prestige, and Aragon was simply monolithic.

Keith did nothing, and finally asked Levitan to write to Alfonso Este, asking him to lure Alfonso to come.

Li Weidan stuck to the pen, with half of his face reflected in the sunlight, thought for a blink of an eye, and wrote a few words:

"You come to Rome."

The Duke folded the letter carefully and stuffed it on his chest.

He felt his withered heart begin to beat again, and uncontrollable joy leaked from the corners of his eyes.

"Are you really going?" the butler said tearfully, "Are you going to Aragorn? The land that raised you has given you status, wealth and glory? Don't you know that this is Caesar's conspiracy? "

"I will leave all my wealth, power, and glory in Aragorn, but my life, which I will take away."

The Duke said, "In this world, the only place I want to go is by his side."

He said: Come to Rome.

He went to Rome to die.

As soon as the horseshoes entered the city of Rome, the duke was attacked.Forty knights besieged him, and an arrow pierced him in the stomach.

But he survived tenaciously and drove to the Vatican.He met him at the Borgia Tower.He is like a prince imprisoned by a dragon, leaning against the window of the tower, extremely beautiful and extremely fragile.

"How long have you been riding a horse?"

Li Weidan asked.

"Four days and five nights?" replied the duke uncertainly.

Levitan asked him to lie on the couch, and the Duke took his hand and begged,

"Come with me until sunset."

He said, "I will accompany you to Risheng."

He fell asleep smiling and never woke up again.

"Look how stupid this man is, Caesar."

Levi Dan caressed the Duke's cold face, showing a very ethereal and beautiful smile.

"Run so hard to the end, and then die contentedly like this."

"It's not Caesar, it's brother."

The cat on the bed said displeasedly, and slapped his hand away with its paw.But the silver-haired boy didn't care about him, he just looked at the afterglow of the setting sun with a kind of gentle joy in his face,

"Caesar, what do you think love is?"

The black cat raised its whiskers: "We don't need love, pony."

"Yes, what is love? It's fleeting and fleeting..." Li Weidan laughed lowly, "Thank you, Caesar."

"We are brothers..." Caesar said, "If you are bored in the Vatican, I will come to accompany you anytime."

Caesar stopped after taking two steps, thumping—the blade slid out of his belly and hit the marble floor.He widened his cat's eyes in disbelief, then raised his left front paw to look at his pierced flank.

Levidan squatted down to look at the masked cat.

In order to protect him, he once killed the boy on Rambla Street, designed to murder Giovanni, and even trapped and killed Rodri at the cost of his life.But this kind of "love" did not make his soul bitter, on the contrary, it made him fall into the quagmire of fragrance.

After that, he killed Alfonso Este because of jealousy and interests, and lured him to be the "lover" of other men for the sake of power, until finally he unified half of Spain and put him under house arrest in the Borgia Tower of the Vatican .

……

But at this moment, his soul emits a fragrance thicker than mud, and as his life passes, the power of evil virtue fills Levitan's body.

What is love?

In the afterglow of the setting sun, Li Weidan was still thinking.

There is no doubt that both the duke and Caesar loved him—whether out of kinship or love—but with two very different consequences.

Is love compassion, patience or sacrifice, or is jealousy passion or possession?

Li Weidan's figure is elongated, and he looks very slender. He is naked.Lu's neck hangs two silver crosses, big and small.With his blond hair hanging down and his cornflower blue eyes smiling naturally, he looked like a fallen angel—if it weren't for the wings poking out from behind that were blacker than night.
