abelardLucrezia,
If this letter has reached your hands, then I have been called back to Rome. My intentions have always been to outlast you in this world, to spare you my loss, but we are both aware that in Paradisa, our God does not always honor such prayers. In this case, there are things I would have you know.
My servant Micheletto is yours to command, for as long as you both remain together in the castle. Use him for protection, and for errands which must not bear your name. He is trustworthy above all others in this world, and will ensure your safety and happiness. Show him my seal, so that he knows these are to be his instructions.
Have Stephanie continue to shield you from that which would be unsafe, but do not place your trust in her fully, sis, I beg of you. Her loyalty is not to you and the Borgias entirely, and that is something to be wary of. She remains too close to the Florentine, and you and I both know now that he is dangerous and seeks to harm us. Keep Stephanie close to your heart, but not so close that she might stab it with the Florentine's dagger in his stead.
Keep your light, dear sister, but also your wit - they are your greatest weapons against those who would hurt you. I am no longer here in body to protect you, but I am always with you. Do not forget this.
Stay as you are, and do not let my disappearance rob you of your smile. We will be reunited sooner than you think, and together we shall stay from that moment on.
With undying affection,
Cesare Borgia
