1. Giovanni

He had it coming.

He'd hurt Lucrezia.

Taken her innocence.

Made her cry.

He'd also been indirectly responsible for the murder of a convent full of nuns, including she who had been Ursula, because of her past affiliation with Cesare.

Cesare had promised to cut out his heart with a dinner knife. He didn't quite succeed. Perhaps if Micheletto had been there, with his non-medical yet accurate knowledge of anatomy, it would have gone differently. Or if Cesare had more time.

It didn't matter much. Giovanni Sforza was dead.

Fell onto a knife Cesare happened to be holding.

Ten times.




2. Juan

He had it coming.

He'd hurt Lucrezia.

Murdered her lover.

Threatened her child.

Made her ask Cesare about poisons.

Cesare could not allow his sister to be stained with blood as he was. He would do anything to protect her, and this came under that heading.

All the years of insults and of watching Juan's incompetence boiled up in him. The danger Juan was putting the family and their reputation in with his drug addled debauchery was one more reason to kill him.

Yet it was Lucrezia's tears that pushed Cesare over the edge.

Juan only had himself to blame.

Loved these!!!!! They did have it coming, didn't they? And everything revolves around Lucrezia.

the picspams are awesome. I really liked the creepy droplets of blood. (Sort of "Dexter-ish").
