Chapter XXIX: A Mission? Am I Ready?
The next day, Marcus, Cesare, and I woke up quite late. To be honest, it was already past 9:00, and I realized we had overslept. Marcus was still asleep, while Cesare had just woken up, and after he kissed me, thanking me for last night, I decided to leave for my room. However, Cesare disagreed.

"Why? Didn't you say that-"
"I want to apologize properly for not telling you that I am Cesare Borgia. I really needed you, and I felt that I'm starting to change since I met you..."

"Not for long. Please, come with me to the Vatican!" Cesare said to me, tears in his eyes.
"Come with you? And who will stay here to lead? What will happen to my country?"
"Oh, come on... You already know it's not your country, don't you? Do you think I'm a child?"
"Wait, what?"
