Chapter Seven
That afternoon I escaped to find Father Vincenzo.
I had not seen him in all the days since I realized that my sins were willingly committed, but now my soul was so heavy with remorse that I could not bear it alone. He was alone in the chapel when I found him, and I think he had heard something of what had happened, for he greeted me without surprise, his gentle manner saying far more than the stilted words he spoke. Slowly the familiar pattern of prayer caught my attention, blotting out the red horror of the forest clearing, and I rose from my knees feeling comforted.
'Another time, daughter, do not wait until you stand in such need; and remember, it is not for you to judge the weight of your own offenses.'
I flushed as I met the Jesuit's steady regard. 'They are heavy enough by any man's reckoning, Father.'
'But not so heavy as to crush your conscience; if they did, you would not have come to me. The duke only uses confession as a means to shock me; a man's death is less to him than the loss of a glove. I tell him of damnation, but I doubt he fears anything but the darkness in his own mind.'
I must have made a betraying movement, because he looked at me keenly and nodded.
'You know of it, too. I thought you must have guessed something—it is more than the god of his appetite which drives him to such evil. I have sought to make him tell of it in confession, but he will not—I think perhaps he does not know himself what it is.'

'Not to you?'
I shook my head. 'I am only his mistress. Sometimes he talks in his sleep, that is all.'
Father Vincenzo did not answer directly. He pondered for a moment and then said, 'He is much changed of late. Did you know that his constancy to you is the wonder of the court?'
'Piero...' My tongue stumbled. 'Piero della Quercia said something like it, but his every third word was a lie. For all I know there may be fifty others.'
'The duke would not be so far kind as to spare you the knowledge of them. He was wont to take a delight in tormenting his mistresses so—favoring one in the sight of another and on the same night betraying both. And the honor he did you at his coronation has been noised throughout Italy…'
'He did it to vex his great-uncle,' I interrupted bitterly. 'It was no more than a sign that he can do as he pleases now he is duke.'
The Jesuit sighed. 'Like enough.'
'And I know he will keep me only until he is wedded. He told me so.'
