Ladies never be like Lucrezia, especially not over no man…

What she has is a sickness. Because why would you obsess over a man who has been clear about his lack of interest in you? Man had to bring another woman into his household, risk being jailed or executed, just to keep you away. If she could, she would have trapped him in a cage for her eyes only.

She’s not even deluded enough to believe he might like her. The fact that shes sensed it was a ploy for him to avoid marrying her makes it worse.
