Cesare POV:
I don't know what's happening to me... Ever since last night when I made love to Antonio, I feel strange... Extremely strange.
"Cesare, it's time to pay!", a voice echoed.
"Wait, what? I haven't done anything... Who are you?"
"I am Azazel... Well, since I can't possess Antonio, I will possess you, his weakness..."
Why is this happening to me? I love Antonio... No... I adore him... I can't wait to tell him I'm Cardinal Cesare, to make him my secretary, and keep him by my side forever. No, it can't be. I feel something taking over my body...
(Meanwhile, the events of chapters XVI and XVII have unfolded).
I finally woke up... Wait, where is Antonio?
"Sister Catherine, where is Antonio? Have you seen him today?"
"Your Eminence, I hope you won't be upset, but Father Antonio has gone to Wallachia..."
"How?! It can't be... Catch up with him. Bring him to me... It can't be... Antonio..."
