The leopard-like gaze glided from the crown adorning my head down to the shoes that peeked under my dress.

 

Then, he quickly raised his gaze again and stared at me closely.

 

“I thought you weren’t the type of person to browse through women’s clothing, but you look unexpectedly satisfied. Is this the power of first love?

 

His low voice combined with a sarcastic smile and playful atmosphere were able to send a cold sensation down onto my spine.

 

His hands which enclosed my body couldn’t be anymore terrifying, but I managed to smile nonchalantly as usual.

 

I had to be careful, if he ever happened to discover even just a bit of my intention…….

 

“Not as much as you, brother.”

 

“Do you mean I look good?”

 

“Sometimes, like now for example. Who else would be worth comparing to you? I’ve been waiting for this day to come for so long already, how’s father doing? What about Enzo?”

 

“Father is busy hanging out with his new lover. Julia is currently pregnant.”

 

He grabbed my waist, lifted me up, and put me down easily while still in tune to the beat.

 

The beautiful chandelier was spinning above me.

 

“Enzo was beaten furiously by father because he got in trouble while joining the war in Rimini Camp.”

 

“Ah… That’s just like him.”

 

“He had been hiding in my mother’s house lately. Such a man is in charge of the Pope’s Army. I wonder when will father get himself together, hmph.”

 

Dark and bitter emotions flashed through his sapphire-colored eyes.

 

I recalled Cesare and Enzo’s mother, who was from Cortizan.

 

I’d only met her very occasionally because she rarely appeared in public meetings and stayed quietly in her private house, but I remember the time I wasn’t convinced of the fact that she was Cesare’s biological mother.

 

“Honestly, Brother is more qualified for such a position than anyone else. However, I don’t like it when you go to dangerous places.”

 

The man’s mouth loosened ever so slightly after putting on a smile, gaze sharp enough to cut through me.

 

“My beloved sister. Father’s temper has been unpredictable lately. Enzo is just being Enzo, but you also caused an accident.”

 

Yes, I knocked everything over really hard. Because I made the marriage invalidation became impossible.

 

When I was about to open my mouth to utter a response, the song came to an end.

 

Cesare added in a terrifying tone as he pulled me into his arms for the last time.

 

“The two of us will talk about that later, so let’s finish watching this pigpen for now.”

The feast of the gladiator match was held four days in total.

 

The first day was the day to welcome the special guests from the foreign countries as well as the players, and the match was held for two days.

 

The last day was the wrap up of the festival.

 

Because it was the first day of the banquet, it was a great place to gauge the skills and exchange interaction with high-ranking people of Romagna, delegations from the diplomatic countries, as well as talented people who became participants from different countries.

 

The same with young men and women who dreamed of having a sweet affair with the opposite gender.
