This is ridiculous. Lorenzo could not have murdered Giovanni. Lucrezia, please. This is difficult for us all to believe. Then why believe it?

@requiescatiinpace​ said: "my father gave me this , it will protect you."

      TO GIVE UP A GIFT, especially one from one’s father, was no easy thing to do and so it was no surprise that cammilla was both surprised and incredibly FLATTERED. it seemed tensions within the city were rising and, ‘for their safety’, the women of the family were to leave for the villa in fiesole at the earliest convenience. cammilla, being the most stubborn of the siblings, had made her displeasure at the idea of leaving others behind VERY clear but she would never let it be known that she was also a little frightened, worried that matters might escalate whilst they were away and any last memories would be of them fleeing.

for a brief moment her nerves soothed, her eyes focused on the trinket as gentle fingers wrapped around it for safe keeping. “ THANK YOU, messere, when we return i shall bring it back to you safely. i promise. ”

episode one: original sin:  ❝ I can change the world for us. ❞ ❝ We can’t grieve this man, we should celebrate! ❞ ❝ Power breeds enemies. ❞ ❝ I fear you are even more your father than he was. ❞ ❝ Stop making a spectacle of yourself with those tears. ❞ ❝ It is sometimes necessary to do some bad in order to achieve a much greater good. ❞ ❝ Well, we wont let him divide us, will we? ❞ ❝ The city walls have fallen. ❞ ❝ Is it true there will be war? ❞ ❝ They have no clothes… ❞ ❝ I hope you didn’t mind me staring. ❞ ❝ There is more to life than money, you know. ❞ ❝ You don’t have a choice. Neither of us do. ❞ ❝ For 100 Florins my lips are sealed forever. ❞ ❝ Will you betray us? ❞ ❝ I don’t want you to leave, ever again. Do you understand? ❞ ❝ I am in love with you! ❞ ❝ Go, or I will have you thrown out. Guards! ❞ ❝ Gentlemen don’t hold pens, we wield swords! ❞

episode two: the dome and the domicile: ❝ There are men at the door! ❞ ❝ This is not a bank, if you want gold go there. ❞ ❝ I am not accustomed to being made to wait. ❞ ❝ Romantic, isn’t it? ❞ ❝ Darling, are you unwell? ❞ ❝ Will everyone please stop fussing over me? ❞ ❝ You are as pale as a ghost. ❞ ❝ Is he handsome? ❞ ❝ Your tongue is too sharp! ❞ ❝ I do not appreciate being mated like cattle. ❞ ❝ I did not choose this union either. ❞ ❝ You will be loyal to me and only to me, do you understand?❞ ❝ A viper cornered may strike anyone. ❞ ❝ I can’t get her out of my mind. ❞ ❝ I was not invited, but I came anyway. ❞ ❝ I’m a genius ahead of my time. ❞ ❝ I wish I shared your optimism. ❞ ❝ This folly will only hasten their demise. ❞ ❝ A foolish man lives for himself, a wise man lives with a purpose. ❞ ❝ I will take away the life that God gave you. ❞ ❝ She’s with child, I am to be a father. ❞ ❝ It’s the black death. ❞

episode three: pestilence: ❝ Since when did the rich become such cowards? ❞ ❝ What are you doing here? You need to leave the city. ❞ ❝ My father gave me this, it will protect you. ❞ ❝ We are all sinners. ❞ ❝ You are not the only one she has hurt. ❞ ❝ Do you love her? ❞ ❝ Legacies make great families, not men. ❞ ❝ How did you escape the city? ❞ ❝ Thank god you’re alive! ❞ ❝ What are you doing? Your place is here with your family! ❞ ❝ We cannot run from it, not from a thing like this. ❞ ❝ You must be exhausted, come and eat. ❞ ❝ I am pleased with you and I am proud of you. ❞ ❝ Don’t wait around here for me to die. ❞ ❝ If God should save anyone it should be the sick and poor.

My honour? ❞ ❝ Forgive me, father, for I have sinned. ❞ ❝ You were paid to poison my wine! ❞ ❝ We didn’t mean to deceive you. ❞ ❝ We invade at midnight! ❞ ❝ We have to get you out of here, the family cannot survive without you. ❞ ❝ I do not fear death. ❞ ❝ There is no “us” if you are gone. ❞ ❝ Everything can be sacrificed. ❞ ❝ You are not the man he is and you know that. ❞ ❝ You think noble blood entitles you to rule the world, not anymore. ❞ ❝ What have you done? ❞ ❝ How could you put your own needs before the needs of my family? ❞ ❝ If we leave it broken like this between us we will grow into the break. ❞

episode five: temptation: ❝ They have banished me. ❞ ❝ You should leave the city, it is not safe here. ❞     ❝ There’s a ball tomorrow night, you must come. ❞ ❝ No one will speak to me! Surely you understand my position.❞ ❝ We cannot buy our way to freedom. ❞ ❝ I hate to think of you alone here. ❞ ❝ He misses out on your beauty. ❞ ❝ While we dine in luxury the common man is suffering. ❞ ❝ I almost won you over though, didn’t I? ❞ ❝ I’m married.

Magic. ❞ ❝ What would you do if you were in my position ❞ ❝ Perhaps I hate what has become of you but I could never hate you. ❞ ❝ I realized I never stopped loving you. ❞ ❝ I’ve never known a man to resist your charms. ❞ ❝ It would be a shame to have to ruin your beauty. ❞ ❝ I thought I’d die, I lost a shoe! ❞ ❝ I am your humble servant. ❞ ❝ I hope you have prayed for your sins, ❞ ❝ I was a gift! He is my master now. ❞ ❝ How did you know that I wouldn’t betray you? ❞ ❝ You can be anything you want, you can lose yourself to pleasure. ❞ ❝ Come with me, I know I can make you happy. ❞ ❝ There are greater causes than our happiness. ❞ 

episode six: ascendancy: ❝ There were hundreds of them all chanting our names! ❞ ❝ You lied to me. ❞ ❝ How is it that my whole family has returned yet I feel more alone than ever? ❞ ❝ You must find a wife of noble blood soon. ❞ ❝ Surprises seem to be your forte at the moment. ❞ ❝ Do you intend to hold your piece forever? ❞ ❝ You thought you were a martyr but you were nothing but a child with a paper sword. ❞ ❝ Had I the choice again perhaps I would let you die. ❞ ❝ The leash you think is in your hand is around your neck. ❞ ❝ Remember to whom you speak! ❞ ❝ Our home will still be here when I am gone. ❞ ❝ Have you come to make fun of me? ❞ ❝ You and me, we are the same. I just want you to know you are not alone. ❞ ❝ You have a friend here. ❞ ❝ Why are you shutting me out? ❞ ❝ Was it such an unforgivable treason to have saved your life?❞ ❝ You’re in no position to judge me. ❞ ❝ Yes, I flirted with him. He even asked me to go away but I didn’t. ❞     ❝ That was your duty as my wife! ❞ ❝ What of your duty as my husband? ❞ ❝ Who are we to take this man’s life? ❞   ❝ If you are wise, you will not return. ❞ ❝ This way! Follow me! ❞

episode seven: purgatory: ❝ So cruelly torn from this world by the swords of sinners. ❞ ❝ There are always threats. Enemies. I choose to eat with my back to the wall. ❞ ❝ Well, you do it… How hard can it be? ❞ ❝ You must not torture yourself.❞ ❝ What if the truth only brought you pain? ❞ ❝ What exactly is it that you accuse me of? ❞ ❝ All men are capable of murder! ❞ ❝ Perhaps I should run away, nobody would even notice if I was gone. ❞ ❝ So what’s keeping you awake? ❞ ❝ You shouldn’t talk that way about yourself, you’re so much more than that. ❞ ❝ It was just a dream. It’s alright, I’m here. ❞ ❝ I will stay with you in case your nightmares return. ❞ ❝ I’ll sleep better alone. ❞ ❝ A woman of your intelligence should not delude herself. ❞ ❝ There is no mercy in his heart, it is made of stone. ❞ ❝ The only comfort I have is that you now know what sort of monster you are married to. ❞ ❝ I implore you not to listen to their lies. ❞ ❝ He has locked me out of his heart. ❞ ❝ Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves. ❞ ❝ We must ensure that we have his undivided loyalty. ❞ ❝ I cannot let you go! ❞ ❝ There is no sum of money in the world large enough to make me raise a hand against this family. ❞ 

episode eight: epiphany: ❝ You think she is with child? ❞ ❝ I don’t think that I can ever forgive you for that. ❞ ❝ For some women, falling pregnant, it’s all too easy. ❞ ❝ You know what must be done, you always do. ❞ ❝ Do you know who the father of your child is? ❞ ❝ If you ever speak to me like that again you will be on your way to the slave market in Genoa. ❞ ❝ You always get what you want in the end. ❞ ❝ I was going to leave you. ❞ ❝ I just found him lying dead in the cells. He’s been stabbed. ❞ ❝ Many will die, blood will run through the streets and your position will be secured. ❞ ❝ Everything I have ever done has been for Florence, for you, for the greater glory of god. ❞ ❝ I would be glad to offer you my services. ❞ ❝ I am more my father than he ever was, that is why God is punishing me. ❞ ❝ Perhaps this child is an opportunity for both of us.❞ ❝ I have sins of my own. But as long as we can breathe, there is a chance that we can atone for them. ❞ ❝ I will help you. ❞ ❝ This matter is better left alone. ❞ ❝ I will marry her! ❞ ❝ A stallion may mount a donkey and get a mule, I like mules! ❞ ❝ You have not become your father, you are a better man than he ever was. ❞ ❝ You’re with child? Are you sure? ❞ ❝ It will be a boy, we’re sure of it. ❞

HELLO THERE !!  it’s been a while, i know, but i intend to make a comeback with some minor changes. nothing too drastic, not to worry, just mainly how i interact and i’ll be aiming to put less pressure on myself so i can keep writing as a fun hobby. SO HERE’S THE DEAL; i’ve cleared out the blogs i’m following and who follows me so i can start from scratch. i’ll definitely be following most back, it may take a little time, but i was following so many that i didn’t interact with ic or ooc and some blogs weren’t even in use anymore, i wanted to clean up my dash and release some of the pressure! i’m going to keep interactions selective but PLEASE PLEASE PLEEEASE don’t let that put you off, i just want to be here to enjoy myself as opposed to stressing about how many replies i have to do or who i need to reply ooc too because we’re all about putting our sanity first in 2020.

SO !! i’ll be following a lot of people back as of now and please don’t be alarmed if you notice you suddenly aren’t following me if you were before, i just wanted a clean slate so you are free to follow me back if you wish or not! that’s ok too! can’t wait to be back interacting with you all again <3

     COSIMO   HAS   NOT   FELT   THIS   ELATED   IN   A   LONG   TIME   ,   to   return   home   to   such   good   news.   It’s   clear   that   Contessina   is   as   estatic   about   this   as   he   was.      "You   did   not   write   to   tell   me   you   were   unwell   ,   or   have   one   of   our   sons   do   so.“   THERE   IS   AN   IMMEDIATE   FROWN   UPON   HIS   FACE.   Cosimo   is   no   fool   ,   he   knows   Contessina   had   not   wished   to   worry   him   but   he   would   rather   have   known.   "I   would   have   come   home   sooner.”   Words   repeated.   COSIMO   FEELS   AS   IF   HE   IS   SECOND   GUESSING   EACH   OF   HIS   CHOICES   AS   OF   LATE.      His   fingers   brush   tentatively   against   her   stomach   ,   almost   as   if   reaching   out   to   the   life   there.   “Hmmmm.”   The   sound   he   makes   is   teasing   ,   a   little   laugh   leaving   him.   “I   fear   it   will   take   little   convincing   my   love   ,   i   am   exhausted.”   He   confesses.   “The   trip   was   long   ,   and   Piero’s   fretting   did   not   make   it   any   shorter.   I   think   he   is   glad   to   be   back   home.   As   am   i.”   He   is   glad   to   have   her   back   in   his   arms.

        EVEN  WITH  THE  RETURN  OF  A  FROWN,  CONTESSINA  NEVER  FAILED  TO  SMILE  AT  HIM,  hands  continuous  in  their  embrace  of  him  as  if  they  were  searching  to  cast  the  feel  of  cosimo  being  there,  being  HOME,  to  her  memory.  “  if  i  had  you  would  have  returned  in  haste,  that  was  the  last  thing  i  would  wish  when  i  want  you  to  come  back  to  us  safely.  ” the  feeling  of  of  his  fingers  against  her  stomach  sent  a  shiver  up  her  spine,  a  feeling  of  reassurance  and  of  homecoming  that  she  had  never  felt  before.  they  were  beginning  to  feel  like  a  truly  united  front;  a  FAMILY.  “  then  i  will  stay  with  you,  we  are  glad  to  have  you  home  and  wish  it  were  not  so  that  business  could  take  you  away  from  us  again  at  any  given  moment.  ”  hands  drifted  down  his  arms  to  place  her  hands  within  his  own,  drifting  herself  towards  the  bed  and  luring  cosimo  with  her.. “  wont  you  hold  me?  so  that  we  might  forget  how  tiresome  and  long  your  trip  was?  ”
