 It was a small wonder that Lucrezia had been permitted to slip out into the people of Rome on such a lovely afternoon. The sun was slowly sinking, the sky was a beautiful pinkish-bluish-reddish delight, and . The only permission she needed, arguably, came in the form of her dear, sweet Cesare. He moved through the people at his own leisure, no guards, no eyes to keep him safe. No. Lucrezia, she had less luck.

 Then again, an excuse to spend time with Cesare was not taken lightly by Lucrezia. The times were growing fewer and fewer between, and she worried for it would only worsen with another marriage. As if the act of marriage was completely disillusioned. There was no love for her in those unions. She had all the love she needed in her family.

 ❛Were you lying when you said you had something to show me?❜ A dubious look is cast sideways to him, but not directly at him. She’s too wrapped up in the people passing by. Besides, she can easily see the proud slope of his nose, the straggles of black, the tanned skin -- oh yes. He was very clearly there, and with her. She had her arms looped around one of his, fingers working at his biceps through the material.

She fiddles with her ring, picks at her nails - anything to quell her anxiety, to stop the incessant sickly, sour feeling in her stomach. It’s killing her - choking her. She leans her head back, touching the wooden wall of the cubicle and closes her eyes for a second. She knows why she’s here - knows she should be. While she doesn’t exactly think she needs to repent - she’s still adamant he deserved it - some deep part of her knows what’s happening to her is wrong - it’s nothing human, nothing natural. She hopes he can offer advice - at least tell her something about what’s going on.

She knows she needs to start, and she forces the words out with a trembling, fragile voice. “Forgive me cardinal for I have sinned.”

❛    ------ i do not see what you are getting at .    ❜ she stands there , confusion plastered all over her face . her father spoke of an arriving duke coming to the kingdom && with leah’s coronation coming up in a few years , she needed to understand EVERY important information .    ❛    could you repeat that , please -- but slower .    ❜

K - What character has your favorite development arc/the best development arc?

Okay, I’m gonna go real obscure here but honestly the best character arc I’ve seen in my life, done in 5 episodes across Buffy/Angel seasons. Anne. She starts as a teenager trying to emulate vampires lifestyle without knowing what she’s doing, she then takes on Buffy’s middle name and starts working for troubled kids and she ends up in this really high note of ‘what if I told you none of this matters?’ ‘I’d tell you to pick up that box and take it inside’. From the lost teenage girl to the grownup who’s willing to make choices not even Angel’s crew makes (like taking that blood money) without losing herself and with such a firm belief that things matter cause they matter, the bigger picture isn’t important <3 Love of my life.

R - Which friendship/platonic relationship is your favorite in fandom?

Sansa x Myrcella is the most important to me in terms of ASOIAF. I KNOW it’s not actually canon but precious dears giving no damns about their parents and being friends and relying on each other is what dreams are made of <3
