Chapter XLV: New Beginnings  

The next day, things returned to normal. After yesterday, the people of Wallachia were extremely pleased to see us together on the streets of Wallachia. Well, especially because of Cesare's behavior.

"Um, Cesare... I think you shouldn't hold my hand so tightly... You know, it makes me feel embarrassed," I said after realizing people were staring.

"Why? Let people see what's happening between us. Anyway, next week we'll finish the last things and then we'll leave for the Vatican."

Well, I guess he's right. People will eventually forget over time. I don't think it hurts to be seen together, right? It seems that the capital's residents are much more open to us after yesterday. Whole crowds of people started kneeling before us, asking for my blessing while Cesare remained as amazed as ever.

"It seems like everything's back to normal, right?" I asked Cesare.
