I absolutely LOOOOVE this pairing! People get so wrapped up in Cesare/Lucrezia that they don't seem to notice the THICKEST FOG OF SLASHY SEXUAL TENSION between THESE two!:):):):)

Observing the sickly man with a critical eye Cesare sighed and began striping himself of his cardinal finery until he remained only in his undershirt and leather trousers.

...YAAY! CESARE IN LEATHER PANTS!:):):)...But if he's already an ex-cardinal, why did you describe him as wearing 'cardinal finery'?

"Foolish man, what were you thinking taking on eight men with a single sword? I was out of my mind with worry when news first reached me in Rome and I almost broke the horse to get myself here by sunset."

...AWWWW...! He CARES!...Enough to nearly kill a horse, which I don't condone, BUT STILL...!:):):):):P

"Damn it Micheletto, it bleeds again because you couldn't contain yourself. I curse the day I fell in love with you!"

...I DON'T!:D:D:D:D
