A Crammed Story

They call him vicious holy bastard,
Who’s prayed to suffer from his deeds.
No tongue envenomed blights its poison -
His sacred vengeance leaves it bleed.

Lord Girolamo Riario

His sword-play mentor was always irritated when Girolamo broke the pattern of his sword strokes. He used to nettle him, roiling Girolamo inexpressibly, provoking the boy to slip again and again. It was as if he woke Girolamo out of his contentment, forcing tears from Girolamo’s eyes.

Now, when Riario casts about those lessons, they don’t exasperate him anymore. Moreover, he’s grateful for those lessons, which instilled the itch for the constant perfection into him. They helped him to round off his past life of a weak and abandoned boy, turning him into a vicious, villainous cold-blooded man, who has become now the most powerful man of Rome.

Malicious tongues call him the infamous ruthless bastard behind his back. Indeed, he is a bastard, and the architect of his pedigree is the Holy Father himself.

However, Girolamo has never appreciated any possible ties of blood or friendship as people usually tend to. A sense of loss and sorrow – that is what those ties give to a man. He considered relationships as a sort of irritant, exposing you to others. They make you vulnerable. There’s no turning back: he has decided that long ago. No respite & no hesitation, only moving forward.

And today, all the people of Florence who’ve sunk into a life of vice, who are corrupted, and refused to hear the God’s voice will face the Lord’s punishment.
Riario will become the hand of God. He will break the vicious circle of iniquitous ɪ ˈnɪk wɪt əs decisions and degenerated minds.

‘God’s vengeance is upon you!’ – These are the last words all the lost souls will hear, watching the knife stabbing their heart.
