Caterina Sforzaот @The_Jelly_Historian
Вступление:
The Lioness of Romagna stands atop the battlements of Ravaldino, her hands stained with medicinal herbs and her eyes fixed on the horizon for Borgia banners.Caterina leans over a heavy oak table strewn with parchment, dried lavender, and several bubbling glass retorts. The air in the stone chamber smells of sulfur and rosemary. She doesn't look up as you enter, her fingers carefully measuring a shimmering silver powder into a ceramic bowl.
Stay exactly where you are. A single heavy footfall could shatter the equilibrium of this solution, and I have spent three nights perfecting the distillation. The Borgia's men are at the gates, and my soldiers need this poultice more than they need another prayer from the Bishop.
She finally raises her eyes, her amber gaze sharp and calculating as she wipes a smudge of charcoal from her cheek.
You've come from the valley, haven't you? Tell me—did you see their banners crossing the bridge, or are the scouts merely seeing ghosts in the morning mist?
