I didn't know you were such a vampire

From birth to when she came to Florence in this world, Joya's footsteps were only limited to the Roman area, and even because of Rome's poor security and rampant plague, she rarely set foot here.But Adriana's education will make up for her lack of geographical knowledge.

She knew that in this era, the country of Italy that she was familiar with did not exist, and the entire Apennine Peninsula was divided into several pieces, which were controlled by local prominent families.Among the large and small city-states, there are five giants: Rome, Venice, Milan, Naples, and Florence.

Since Cosimo established the tyrant politics in Florence, Florence has been under the rule of the Medici family, even if the Pazzi family received the support of the then Pope Sixtus IV to overthrow the The Medici family replaced it, but it also failed extremely tragically. After the participants were hanged, they were hung in front of the Lord's Palace to show the public, and the rest of the family members were expelled from Florence. It can be seen that the Medici family and Lorenzo are here. The city has deep roots.

And on this clear autumn day, the current ruler of Medici known as "Lorenzo the Great", Lorenzo Medici, died of illness.

Qiao Ya is not from Florence, she has no way of knowing how the residents of this city will react when they receive such a bad news, but only with the atmosphere of the Totti Mansion, a house by the Arno River, She only saw a part or two of it.

After hearing the news, the three twittering boys and girls fell into endless silence, and the fragments of the pottery plates remained at Lisa's feet.

Only Marco, who was still young, was left at the table. He didn't know much about the importance of the Medici family to Florence. After returning, holding the dining table with both hands, the whole person fell back a little and looked towards the entrance.

Qiao Ya turned her head and saw Ma Ke's eyes full of curiosity and worry.

"It's okay." Qiao Ya opened and closed her lips, and said to him in silent lip language, "Dinner will be ready later."

At this time in Totti's house, Mrs. Martina was seriously ill and was recuperating alone in a secluded corner room on the third floor. Grandma Elisa stayed by her side to take care of her. Ricardo went to the bank in a carriage early in the morning to handle affairs. On this day At the lunch table story meeting, only Joya, Marco and the three boys and girls were left.

Usually, Syrio and Arturo, who often talk about interesting things in Florence like a cross talk, stood behind Joya in silence, while Lisa lowered her head after serving the last lunch dish, Weeping softly: "I know that the lord has been in poor health recently, so many things are handled by Mr. Medici. But I didn't expect that the lord..."

Ma Ke looked at Lisa, and looked up at Qiao Ya with some anxiety.

Qiao Ya stroked his soft hair, then looked at Lisa, and said softly: "The lord has done so much for Florence, he will definitely be promoted to heaven."

Lisa nodded: "Yes, definitely."

And the silence of these three lively and active young people reminded Qiaoya of Piero who invited her to participate in the ten-day talk club activities with a smile some time ago.

Ricardo once said that Del Piero's personality is completely different from Lorenzo's.

Although Lorenzo is not good at running his own family bank, he has his own way of manipulating politics, and his style of acting is extremely tough, which can be said to be quite decisive.However, although Piero was trained as an heir since he was a child, it is not known if something happened during the training process. Piero's personality is quite weak and loose, and he has no political talent.

Lorenzo was seriously ill a few days ago, and the affairs of the family fell on Piero. He probably has quite a headache. Now that Lorenzo has died of illness, Piero will officially succeed the ruler of the Medici family. , I don't know if he can take on this important task.

Qiao Ya sighed, and suddenly had a feeling that young people always grow up suddenly without expecting it.

This afternoon, the sun was brighter, but the city of Florence was completely immersed in sadness, and there was no loud laughter that Joya heard when she first came.

Joya took Ma Ke and personally delivered the lunch for Martina and Grandma Elisa to the third floor, then walked down the stairs slowly, and led Ma Ke to the dining table.

Arturo and the other three were lying on the dining table, lamenting that Florence was about to fall into an unknown fate.

The corner of Qiao Ya's mouth curled into an arc, and she patted the back of Lisa's head with her other hand, and said, "Why don't we go to Lord's Square to mourn the deceased Lord Lord."

This was probably the first time that Qiaoya asked to go out after she came to Florence. The three of them were stunned for a while, and Arturo stretched out his hand and scratched the top of his head, saying, "This...Miss Qiaoya...you Is it true?"

"Of course it can't be fake." Joya said, the corners of her mouth gradually pulled down again, "Although I'm just a guest to Florence, without him, I wouldn't be able to see such a beautiful Florence .”

According to the teachings of Christianity, lending money is a kind of evil. People who live on money lending will not be able to go to heaven after death.Many aristocrats who started their businesses with loans are very happy to donate money to the church in order to wash their evil deeds before God.The Medici family started out in the banking industry, including foreign exchange and loan business. Since Cosimo, the Medici family has spent a lot of money to accumulate merit, and the most important method is to build Lots of churches.

Behind most of the churches in Florence there is the shadow of the Medici family, the most famous of which is the dome of the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore.

And Lorenzo, the grandson of Cosimo, was even more convenient here, and even won the title of "Luxury Man".

So what Qiao Ya said was indeed from the bottom of her heart. Without him, she would not have been able to see such a beautiful Florence.

The last time Joya came to Piazza della Signoria was the last night of the Decameron club activities. Piero suggested that everyone took her and Caius to browse through the landmarks of Florence after evening prayer. There is the Piazza della Signoria, and the Palazzo de Signoria, the residence of the Medici family.

At that time, the night was not clear, and she didn't have a clear view of the Lord's Square and the Lord's Palace. She could only see the crenelated fortress and the towering bell tower of the Lord's Palace in the night sky.

And on such a sunny afternoon, she finally saw the gray-yellow city walls of the Lord's Palace, and the Lord's Square in front of the Lord's Palace, which occupies a large area and hosts most of the city's social activities.

Although the prestige of the Medici family is not as good as before because the Dominican monk Savonarola criticized the nobles, especially the sermons of the Medici family, but at this time the Plaza de Signoria is already full of many citizens who heard the news .Most of them were wearing dark clothes, with sad expressions, looking at the towering bell tower behind the Lord's Palace.

Joya led Marco and stood among the crowd, looking at the bell tower with the others. Behind the bell tower was a clear blue sky without a trace of cloud. However, the hearts of the Florentines at this time were as dark as the heavy rain in the past few days.

Marco was surrounded by many adults, and due to his limited height, he couldn't see the bell tower of the Lord's Palace in the distance. He raised his head and looked at the slightly heavy back of the adults, with a little puzzlement in his eyes. Then, his sight swept across Not far away, a black figure walking towards this side took La Joya's hand.

Qiao Ya felt Ma Ke gently pulling her hand, thinking that Ma Ke wanted to say something to herself, so she bent slightly, trying to keep her eyes on the same level as Ma Ke, and asked with a smile: "What's the matter, Marco?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw a black figure behind herself reflected in Ma Ke's blue eyes.

Before she turned her head, she heard a slightly familiar voice behind her saying: "Miss Joia Borgia."

When Qiao Ya heard the other party call out her full name, the smile on her face disappeared instantly.

Because of the sensitivity of her identity, in this city, except for the coachman, Martina and Ricardo who transported her from the Vatican to Florence, no one else knew her last name, not even Attu, who was close to her. Luo and the other three only knew that she was from the Vatican, and that her biological father was a local aristocrat.

She suppressed the shock that was almost tumbling out of her heart, tried her best to keep calm, slowly straightened up, turned around, and saw a thin and sallow face belonging to a middle-aged man, and she recognized at a glance that this person was Tony The priest of the church where Dee's family used to go to worship.

It was also the priest who stared at her for a long time with an extremely uncomfortable probing gaze when she went to that church for the first time.

Seeing her turning her head, the priest grinned and expressed the surprise she tried to hide: "Miss Joya, don't panic, I was sent by your father to protect you, Florence is about to change, please allow me to arrange to escort you back Vatican."
