With
crumpeteer's unintentional help, I have finally realized who it is that Chiaro reminds me of: Madmartigan from Willow. Complete badass when you give him a weapon, a dork otherwise...who tries to be otherwise.Anyway...
It seems odd that Chiaro would be so upset about accidentally killing a child. I mean, he is an assassin, and a good one. Despite his seeming innocence, he has to have been sent on less-than-savory missions before, and to realize that a man like Cesare will eventually have to dispose of children, too. I mean, yes, he's innocent and naive, but not stupid. He was also an assassin long before he met Cesare.
Meanwhile, Lucrezia seriously got a raw deal here. First of all, she walks in on her brother in a serious liplock with another woman. Which would be seriously embarassing for any teenaged girl, but this one has a brother complex that borders on(I'm sure it's confirmed later, but now it's still bordering) on incestuous love. Second of all, she's been married off to the squick guy from the last volume and taken off to his country home. I'm "lalala"-ing and pretending that Cesare scared him so much when he hurt Lucrezia in front of him that he's impotent out of fear of Cesare sensing her twitch all the way from Rome and coming after him. Allow me my delusions until we see her again and they're shattered.
Though...is it bizarre of me to think that Cesare letting her see him with the other woman was his odd way of protecting her? Warning her off without actually having to do it? Eeeh...it probably is.
Cesare also seems to like being sent off to be a hostage. He sets it up twice here. I wonder if he just thinks he looks good when chained up in a dungeon.
The stuff with Vanozza was harsh and looks like it'll only get harsher. Though...had she already been stabbed when Cesare showed up to try to save her? I looked atthe pages again and it didn't look it. Also, no wonder Lucrezia looks so pure and angelic and saintly...her mother is practically an angel or something.
On a final note: I love the Mothman Monk(yes, he has a name, but if I try to call him anything but Mothman Monk, I'll start calling him Machiavelli, and that would be wrong.)
