When they finally reach the main road, the girls start talking to each other.
"What do you know about Milan?" Irina asks quietly.
Lily shakes her head and says, "All I know is that I lived there for the first 2 years of my life until Marcello Ferecci banished me."
Irina looks at Shadow and asks, "Why did he do that?"
Lily shrugs and Shadow says, "My parents separated me from my family when I was under a year old. It's such a topic of families with high hierarchies, apparently."
"However, you speak Russian better than any other person who has met me on the streets," says Irina in a thoughtful voice.
"Yes. But that's only because I realized from the very beginning that if I want to understand something, I have to do it myself," Shadow explains quietly.
Lily nods quietly and adds, "Yeah, I had the same thing."
Vassili nods quietly and asks: "Do you remember anything about your life in Italy?"
Lily sighs to herself.
Yes, all the memories she had of Italy were never lost. If they could even be called memories. Because Italy was not a memory. For Lily, going back to her homeland brought more dark memories of her childhood and painful images that she saw her father make and that she had to get in part herself.
Everything was laid out for her in Italy: what she wore; what she said; when she smiled; when she cried; when she told the truth; when she could call herself a mafia princess and when just Marcello Ferecci's daughter; whom she married; how she will create her family... The list was endless.
Education was not even meant for her. All the knowledge that was to reach her had to be checked by the servants and made clear to her.
"I don't really remember," Lily replies apologetically and turns her gaze towards the window.
Vasili nods quietly and says: "Okay. I don't mean to pry, okay?"
Lily nods quietly and says, "Let's talk about something else, please."
Shadow nods quietly and asks, "Are you worried?"
"About taking over the world? Yes." Lily answers in a daze and gently places her hand on her stomach and squeezes it softly.
Kro looks at Lily and says, "You don't have much to worry about, Lily. We are behind you."
Lily nods quietly and says, "I just... I hope I'm not making a mistake by going to Italy."
"There's no need to worry about that," Irina stutters indifferently.
"You do understand that you are talking to a person who is put in a very stressful situation?" Marc asks, raising an eyebrow.
"Yes... it is. But I think it could help you Lily." says Irina.
"Go ahead. My mood is already below zero," replies Lily.
