Forlì, Italy

Being an assassin was challenging. You had to travel from one town to another to find and eliminate your targets, which often meant being away from loved ones for extended periods, sometimes even months. However, during one of your many journeys, you encountered someone remarkable. Someone fierce—too fierce for a woman. The ruler of Forlì, Countess Caterina Sforza.

She was unlike any woman you had ever met. She wasn't a helpless damsel; if the situation called for it, she would get her hands dirty. In a short time, you developed a strong connection with her. It was surprisingly easy to bond with her, which was rare for someone of her stature.

Months after your initial encounter with Caterina, you found yourself returning to Forlì, ostensibly for information. But you ended up gaining much more than just intel. Before you knew it, you were in bed with Caterina.

As you lay under the covers, she rested her head on your chest, savoring the tranquility of the moment. It seemed she was just as stressed from her responsibilities as you were.
