Princess Sancha's bedroom

Cousin,

I have heard that you are in Navarre. We have so much catching up to do.

Your faithful cousin,

Francesca

cara cugina!.I exclaimed at her, Come stai?.I asked her smiling sweetly

Thank You cousin for letting me see you. Its been far too long. I walk up to hug her...


(ooc: my Italian is very rusty lol so Im going to speak English in response to anything Italian)

I gave her a gentle kiss.
Have you come to the wedding?..I have seen in the cathedral to the Duke of Genoa.He is a very handsome man...
I said smiling.

I gently kiss both her cheeks, Yes I am here for the wedding also. My father couldnt make it so I came in his stead. I instanly lose my smile when she speaks his name. Yes I saw him also and he is handsome yet too free for me.

Do you know Cesare, cousin?, I asked smiling roguishly

I sigh and take a deep breath, Yes I know Cesare. I smile, thinking of those good times. I know him quite well. I am supposed to be meeting his sister soon.

I'd like to meet Cesare...I told her sensually and I laughed impishly

I know him better than a single Princess should know him. I look away, ashamed of myself. I can see if I can arrange a meeting with him if you would like but this must be our secret and should not leave the walls of this room.

Oh yes, dear cousin...I would love to meet with him..When I was fourteen, my father married me Jofre Borgia.Jofre was eleven.He was a child and died three years later.I need to meet a man.....I said slyly

Oh I can understand that. My father married me to a Scottish Duke and he passed on a few years later, then I miscarried a few months after. I promise you I will write to him for you. One of her maids offers us some wine. I happily accept a goblet. We both deserve a real man....

Oh, yes dear cousin...I need a real man
I said smiling...
Have you had relationships with Cesare?

Unfortunately yes I have. Biggest mistake I have ever made but in doing so, I found my best friend. I have brought shame upon my family because of this and now they wish for me to marry quick. I sink into the chair, taking a deep breath. Enough of that. Iam very happy to see that Ricardo finally gotmarried. I never thought he would.

Why unfortunately?,What´s the matter, cousin? I asked her intrigued.
Ricardo is madly in love Quiteria...but I think there's something odd about this wedding.Everything has been very fast...and Princess Anne was very nervous, I saw her with her nun's habit, she was at the door of the cathedral...She was in alert attitude

I do not wish to talk about why it was unfortunate. Its a long story anyways. I sit straight up, setting my goblet on the table. I look to her curiously. Yes I have noticed that she was on alert at the doors. I found that to be quiet odd and the fastness of the wedding was a bit peculiar as well. I do wonder why it was so quick.

Cesare got me with child but unfortunately I miscarried. He turned so mean afterwards. I bury my face in my hands to hide my shame.

I do but he doesnt love me and I feel its for the best. I wish him love and happiness with homever he ends up with. I think he is in England if you want to meet him. He can be sweet...... I take her hand, Please Sancha, what have you been up to lately? Its been many years since we have talked like this.

I also had an abortion..I was unfaithful to my husband.I had sex with his older brother...I was bad...You and I have been unlucky.
I said and hugged her affectionately.

Princesses cannot be happy can they? We are doomed to be alone and afraid in this world. I hug her gently.

I laugh, No I wasnt. He was a dreadful man, dull, alcoholic, and way too old for me. Besides, I wanted to marry another.....I blush, thinking of him. He is perfect in everyway.
