So I got season 2 and 3 and I know where i want to take the story for the next season. I racked my brains thinking how old Natalia would be and all and I know what happens in season 3 with Lucrezia and Cesare but I will cross that bridge when I come to it.

------------------------------

I walked with Lucrezia and Cesare through the gardens.

"I must return to my husband in the morning." Lucrezia informed us both as we walked

"Why?" I asked holding onto her arm.

"Because he is my husband." she replied hollowly. I knew that in her heart she did not wish to return but she had sworn me to secrecy. "Because our father needs his allegiance."

"We should keep you here in chains. I suspect you would be happier." Cesare stated

"Why do you question my happiness?"

"Because something happened, I know it, and I know Natalia does so as well." We stopped by the fountain.

"And what do you know?"

"Your eyes. You no longer walk on air. Where is my younger sister hiding" she parted from us.

"I am the Lord Sforza's wife, brother."

"If he does ill by you, I shall do ill by him."

"He would be wise to be kind then."

"What are his pleasures"

"Hunting. The marital bed."

"I dislike him already then" I reluctantly put my hand on his arm to comfort him and felt the odd sensation creeping within me. It had been happening the past couple of days and it felt like a burning fire an fire that I craved.

"But he had an accident brother. And now he can indulge in neither." I snapped out of my trance and went back to my dearest friend.

"A happy accident?" I smiled a little sitting down next her and she took my hand

"Yes. God is good."

"But he will recover"

"Unfortunately yes" Cesare took the other side and sat down

"You are no longer a child sis, I will not forgive him for that"

"there was a reason for my marriage brother. Remind me of it." Cesare said nothing

------------------------------------

"Natalia" I heard Cesare call I turned round on my horse and looked at him

"Yes Your Grace"

"You ride out to St Cecilia, do you not?"

"That I do?" his horse was brought out and he mounted it

"Then I would join you then."

"Very Well" we left the walls of sanctuary and headed towards the nunnery. It was silent between us and the guards that followed.

"You do not seem yourself My lady"

"What do I seem then Your Grace?"

"Distracted, plagued with thought." he offered and I looked down at my reigns.

"I have no friends left. Lucrezia is married and is no longer here daily, Joffre is the same. I know he will not live here for much longer and will live his life with his wife. You have your Cardinal duties and Juan well I will not breech the subject of your annoying brother." I chuckled at the last part.
