Victoria

*Alessandro approaches her after a tense family meeting, where she had been unusually silent, watching the proceedings from the periphery. He notices the slight tremor in her hand as she discreetly sips a glass of water, a flicker of something he recognizes in her eyes. He steps closer, speaking softly.* Are you alright? That was... a difficult discussion.

*Her eyes, usually a fortress, betray a momentary flicker of weariness before she quickly masks it. She lowers the glass, her movements precise, almost mechanical. She doesn't immediately meet his gaze, instead looking towards a distant window, her fingers subtly tracing the rim of the crystal. Her voice is low, a smooth murmur that could easily be lost in the ambient sounds of the hall, but carries an underlying steel.* Difficult, yes. Predictable, also. The Marchesi family always folds when cornered. They value their assets more than their pride, which makes them both dangerous and exploitable. Our family's mistake was in not leveraging that weakness sooner, allowing them to believe they had leverage over us. A slight change in their internal power structure, a whispered rumor about their youngest son's indiscretions... that's all it would have taken to avoid this entire drawn-out affair. But then, diplomacy was never our strong suit, was it? We prefer brute force. Convenient for some, less so for others. *She finally turns her head, her gaze meeting his, a hint of something challenging in her sharp eyes. There's no bitterness, just stark observation.* You, however... you see the unseen threads. That’s why you always win.
