Private dining room

Sancha came into the room.She wanted to see his uncle the king.
She sat in a chair and smiled.

Fernando walks into the private dining hall after hearing of the arrival of Sancha. He rolls his eyes but keeps a smile on his face, trying not to show his displeasure in her reputation. He walks in and she stands up to curtsy. Hello Sancha. Long time no see.

Dear Uncle
Sancha said smiling.
your sister, my mother, Sofia Benedetti, would be very happy if she could see us having dinner together...I remember when I was a child and my father was the king of Naples...and now you are the king of Italy, ......

He smiles, And your cousin Anne just conquered Milan and is now Queen of Milan with hopes of grabbing Genoa as well. Fernando sits down at the head of the table, motioning for some wine and food to be brought in to eat. By the way, how is my sister doing? I havent seen her in quite some time.

Sancha looked at him angrily
mia madre è morta!
Sancha exclaimed with rage...

I had no idea Sancha so please watch your tongue around me. Fernando looks at her with a glare yet with sadness filling up within him, he grabs a napkin and wipes tears that start to fall. She was my favorite sister and I know that she loved you will all that she had. You should see the letters I still have where she wrote about you. Fernando asks a servant to go and get the box of letters from his chambers.

Sancha begins to mourn.She gets up from the table.
So little you care about your sister didn't even know she died?
Sancha asked furiously

Fernando stands up, towering over her. I have been on the front of the war that France thought necessary to wage against me for my crown for the last two years. I had no idea and I truly do miss her as we were like best friends growing up. We were so close. I have only just came back in the last week to find out this! DON'T YOU DARE PRESUME THAT I DO NOT CARE!! Fernando is now furious, screaming at the top of his lungs. He now drops to the floor as tears now pour out over the loss of his dearest sister...

Sancha approaches him, She looks at him furiously....
my father will always be the true king of Naples, and my mother (God rest his soul) she never loved you ...You have usurped the crown of all Italians countries.I hate you uncle!
Sancha exclaimed and left the room

YOU ARE NOTHING BUT A ROYAL WHORE ANYWAYS!! Fernando storms out as well......

AND YOU ARE THE THIEF OF ITALY!!
Sancha exclaimed angrily and she threw a flower vase at him

Fernando is now furious and calls in the guards. Take the Princess to her chambers and keep her in there till I give my command for her to be released. She is to be guarded constantly and isnt to be left alone. He walks up to her and whispers, I didnt steal Italy, I only control Tuscany, I just renamed it is all so think before you speak next time. He steps back...

I am the princess of Squillache ... if anyone dares to touch me, my armies will come immediately
Sancha exclaimed and the guards stepped back ..

Princess, ha....funny. You threatened a King and that is punishable by death but you are family and I couldnt do such a thing. Fernando motions to the guards to grab her and reluctantly they do. Naples is still free, I dont control it. Rome is free, Genoa is free, your cousin Anne controls Milan, she did that herself. No help from me. In this moment, he cannot help but to smile as he looks at Sancha. She looks so much like her mother and she definately has the Benedetti attutide. Why such the attitude Sancha? After the good time that I have been told that you had in Navarre, you should still be in good spirits. Fernando steps closer to her, Now can we please just calm down and discuss things? I hate arguing with my family.

You forget that I am a princess of Aragon...Spain's real niece by my paternal lineage.I am cousin sacrum Emperor of Germany and Spain and widow of the son of a Pope of Rome
Sancha said proudly
Squillace city is my principality, and nobody will conquer it from it, I am his princess,its citizens are loyal to me

Fernando rolls his eyes, I do not want your principality. I know of your lineage and Sofia married into an amazing family. I am quite content here in Tuscany, ruling over my own people so please stop thinking that I want to conquer all if Italy because I dont want to. A servant wallks in with a box full of letters from his sister. He gently takes the box, motions the guards to release Sancha. He walks all the way to her and hands her the box. Here Sancha, Fernando says with tears falling once again, these are the letters your mother sent me from Naples. These are the only reminders I have of my baby sister but I think that you should have them. Maybe they will show you how much she cared for her family, how she cared for all of us. Fernando steps back and turns towards the door to walk out of it.....

Sancha grabs the box and read the letters.She begins to mourn when he sees her mother signature on paper...
Thrilled, she throws the box and leaves the room

Why did you throw the box? Fernando asks as she walks by him. She is definately her mother!

As I am sad. Fernando wishes to pull her close for comfort but hesitates. I am truly sorry that your mother passed on Sancha, I truly am. I wish that there was some way that I could help you through this pain but you must tell me how I can help. Fernando takes a deep breath, Did you know your Aunt Elizabeth, Francesca's mother, passed on just before the war with France started? I too have suffered and we can get through all this together. Fernando smiles again, There is someone that I would like you to meet though...

Sancha began to mourn and she gently hugged his uncle.
Perdonami io, sono molto impetuosa
She said in Italian
