The golden sun of Romagna was warming the cobblestone road leading to San Midre Cathedral.
Around the fountain where the statue of the Holy Mother was built, plump white pigeons are gathered as usual to enjoy the afternoon sunbathing.
Such easygoing and bold creatures, they didn’t look at people even when they sat close.
Even if it was a cardinal that made even an arrogant nobleman shiver.
To be fair, that side also didn’t pay much attention to the flock of pigeons.
The young cardinal’s broad shoulders were not just a perch for pigeons, but also messenger birds with elegant golden tails.
One of the birds quickly flew from the northern capital across the sea to the Papal States, Romagna and proudly completed his mission.
Although he deserved an award, the man who finished reading the letter remained silent for a while.
His black hair, which glowed blue in the sun, tanned copper skin, deep dark blue eyes, and sculpture-like facial features, boasted devilish beauty.
Sitting still, barely blinking, there was no sign of humaneness in him.
“You must be really worried.”
In the end, a servant, who was standing nearby pretending to feed the pigeons, broke the silence first.
In contrast to his superior, the elegant handsome man, he had dark red hair and a scar across one eye.
It was amazing how pigeons fed what he ate without running away.
“I’m worried.”
“Well, I’m glad she got home safely. Your brother-in-law has been searching through Elendale for four days. She feels better, apparently.”
“…….”
“I don’t know what they wrote across the sea. You don’t trust me completely anyway, do you?”
It was obvious Pietro had the nerve to look into his superior’s letter and then pretend to not know about it.
But Cesare did not reprimand Pietro, who was busy feeding pigeons.
If he had wanted to oversmart him, he’d have done that sooner.
It will be difficult to find again a loyal servant like Pietro anywhere in the South.
Where else would he find a man who has the power of all monsters, cruelty to even make Satan cry, the ability to infiltrate shadows, and blind loyalty to his superior?
“It’s a surprise.”
“Seeing how agitated you are, the nations across the sea must have also been quite surprised. Is your sister’s neglect unexpected or your brother-in-law’s attitude unexpected?”
