At breakfast the next day it was only Father and me at the dining table, it made me miss Mother and Liam. I wondered how they were doing back in Ireland, 'Was mother still scared of another attack?' Ever since the incident in Prague, Mother refuses to come with father on any of his trips. So Liam had to stay home to protect her since she wasn't coming on the trip... I think.

Thinking of Father's trips made me think of the reason we were in Italy. 'What was Aldo Cirri like? I only met him once when he came to Ireland for a business meeting with Father, and I was 4. He must have changed since then. I've never met his son though, he's two years older than me I think, and his older brother Gennaro is eight years older than me, 20 and 26 respectively. Just then Seamus are most trusted guard entered with an envelope in his hand.

"A black Audi e-Tron GT came to drop this off this morning," Seamus said handing the letter to my father and exiting the room.

"Father, what is in the envelope?" I asked.

"Is é an cuireadh ó na Cirri's, tá siad ag óstáil liathróid masquerade ionas gur féidir linn idirbheartaíocht a dhéanamh ar sos cogaidh idir muid féin agus mafia na Rúise. (It is the invite from the Cirri's, they are hosting a masquerade ball so we can negotiate a truce between ourselves (Italians and Irish) and the Russian mafia).

We are to be there at 9:30 Saturday night" he paused to take a sip of his coffee while reading the newspaper. 

"You will go shopping for a dress to wear to the ball and don't worry I will reduce the guards this time". 

I gave him a thankful look, I always hated going out with guards on my tail. I mean I know there are people out there trying to kill me when I least expect it but I want to feel free once in a while. Trust me, I know I am lucky to have someone to protect me, but it's just a little bit overwhelming being trailed by guards everywhere I go.

We both finished our breakfast and I made my way to my room to put on my outfit for the day. I decided to wear a black puffer sleeve body con dress with gold jewellery.

I decided I would let Siobhan- our tailor- fashion my dress and mask and pick out some shoes for me

I decided I would let Siobhan- our tailor- fashion my dress and mask and pick out some shoes for me. So right after preparing to go out, I had given him a call and told him what I needed him to do for me and what time I needed it. I didn't tell Father though, I wanted to explore Rome a little.

Once I was done getting ready I walked to the drawing room, Father, Cairo, Bristol, and Bronx were waiting for me. Cairo, Bristol, and Bronx were siblings, their family had been working for us for quite some time and were very high up in the hierarchy. We left in a black Audi Sedan A3 with the tinted windows rolled up. Bristol sat in the car with Tadgh (my chauffeur) and I  while Cairo and Bronx rode in the car behind and in front of mine respectively.
