In a villa in Florence, the young servant covered the wound on her shoulder and fell on the sofa with an ugly expression, leaning on the backrest of the sofa.
Her face was pale, and her already beautiful face looked even more pitiful.
But now is obviously not the time to fall head over heels for beauty.
"Hey-Simon, are you okay!?"
A man ran over in a panic and nervously looked at Simonetta's injuries.
There was a penetrating wound on her shoulder, which looked like it could almost remove the entire arm. Half of her body was completely soaked in blood, making her look miserable and horrific.
Simonetta did not answer Giuliano's question. She seemed to have fallen into some kind of trance, not fainting, but her consciousness was equally vague.
"Bandage, bandage..."
He hurriedly looked for bandages.
He learned what a Servant was from Simonetta's mouth. Although he couldn't believe it, he still chose to believe it after Simonetta showed some abilities.
Then, as a collaborator, he gave Simonetta an instruction.
Sneak into the palace of Florence and try... to assassinate his brother.
That is now the actual ruler of Florence, Lorenzo de' Medici.
He made this decision after thinking about it.
Hidden under the playboy appearance is a talent that is not inferior to Lorenzo. It is precisely because of this that Giuliano, like Lorenzo, deeply loves the city of Florence.
Even because Giuliano didn't stay in the palace every day, he saw a wider range of things, so his understanding of certain things was deeper than Lorenzo.
If not, he would not have finally won the competition with Lorenzo over Simonetta.
However, Giuliano always believed that Lorenzo was more suitable for this city than himself, so he put himself in the position of an assistant from the beginning, but now...
Not much else to say. In the past few days after leaving the palace, Giuliano saw the current situation of the city with his own eyes.
People are panicked, with sadness and anxiety on everyone's face. The ban soldiers walking on the streets will bring fear. People are panicked, and some families are even reluctant to go out. Families whose relatives have been arrested are even more worried.
I shed tears all day long.
Is this still Florence?
[Immovable Law of Security], this kind of thing...
Not what Florence needs at all!
Giuliano advised Lorenzo.
But Lorenzo's tough attitude was beyond his imagination, and Lorenzo was not the only one who was strange, his father Piero was even more...
.....No, now is not the time to think about this.
The assassination failed and Simonetta was so seriously injured...
Giuliano looked at the wound on Simonetta's shoulder, still seeping blood through the gauze that had just been wrapped around it.
He gritted his teeth.
Logically speaking, if the assassination fails, this "assassin" with magical means should be worthless. Even if she is left to fend for herself, there will be no problem...
but......
Looking at Simonetta's face, Giuliano always felt... that he had some other emotions.
Why do you feel this way?
Aren't worthless items supposed to be thrown away? What's more, her assassination failed. Keeping her by his side or resuscitating her will only increase his own danger.
But, but...
Could it be that just because she said "I will be your wife"?
How could I possibly believe such words...
But it is undeniable that Giuliano really has no way to leave Simonetta alone.
There was a voice in his heart telling him not to give up on Simonetta and not to let Simonetta die.
But now, is there anyone in Florence who can heal Simon?
All the churches were closed, and there were very few doctors in Florence...
Who on earth can heal Simon?
Giuliano clenched his hands and thought with red eyes.
...
In the early morning of the next day, despite the slight setbacks the previous day, the Chaldean personnel still had a good night's rest.
"Today's goal is to find Florence's spiritual veins, and then try to summon new followers to supplement the combat effectiveness." Matthew made daily reports in the communication, "Senior, be careful of forbidden soldiers and hostile followers.
"
"Yes, I know."
This was not the first time Mashu had reminded him, but Fujimaru Ritsuka was not bored.
Every reminder is a new alert. In the singularity, everything can be lacking, but crisis awareness cannot be lacking.
"So, do you need me to stay in this villa? Master?"
Verrocchio bowed slightly to Fujimaru Ritsuka in a dignified manner, emphasizing the word "Master" with particular emphasis.
Although they had fought side by side and landed the Spiritual Portrait, Verrocchio was actually still very curious about Fujimaru Ritsuka.
"Well, at least hide it for a while."
The Orvis family villa is located in the northwest of Florence, and Matthew is searching for spiritual veins. The most important spiritual vein in Florence is in the southwest.
This is good news for Chaldea.
The place where ban soldiers are most frequent is undoubtedly the center of Florence, and the location of the spiritual vein does not require traveling through Florence or making a large circle. One day is enough for a round trip.
"Well~ The kind baron will bring us bread and vegetables. If it is for dinner, it will not be a problem. Lawrence, Leonardo, I will disappear after Florence returns to normal, so you must remember to treat you well.
...Hang on! Thank you to Baron Orvis." Verrocchio crossed his chest and looked at his student.
"...Well, I understand, teacher."
Lawrence now completely believed that this young and unformed guy was his teacher. His teacher was indeed so verbose.
"Then we'll set off."
After checking what he should carry, Fujimaru Ritsuka stood at the door and waved to the other three people staying behind.
The only people traveling this time were Fujimaru Ritsuka and Lawrence, leaving Verrocchio, Lawrence and Leonardo da Vinci behind in the villa.
Some distance away from the villa, Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at Lawrence, who had a sad expression on his face, and snickered twice.
"Okay, Miss Lawrence, now that you and Leonardo da Vinci are no longer visible, you can change back to your original appearance."
Lawrence was indeed suffocated. The middle-aged man's imagination turned into pieces of gems and dissipated, and the beautiful woman with burgundy hair reappeared in the city.
