— I placed you here, as you see. At my side. Are you?
“I think they've come to realize, I think it is Lucrezia who says, 'Only a Borgia can love a Borgia.' I think it's also a part of Cesare's vanity. It’s definitely eating him. There are different kinds of love and when you love someone as much as Cesare loves Lucrezia, you want to possess her but you wish her happiness more than yours. And I think Cesare has many doubts about what’s better for her. I’m sure, for himself, he enjoyed the whole thing. [Laughs.] I don’t think he has many personal regrets about it. But I think for her especially he feels like he should be the bigger man. He should lead her the right way. And he probably feels that he failed her in a way." — FRANÇOIS ARNAUD (request by @borgiatargaryen)
