" Once it was two lads— Domenico and Piero— and it was Piero who lorded it with you! You do not choose to remember—"
"I remember well enough." Domenico's voice was dangerously even. "Forbear to talk of it."
"If you remember, then judge my jealousy. Measure for measure with the love I gave you."
"You loved the son of the Duke of Cabria." The raw fury in Domenico's eyes made Piero step back, but his voice was still stifled. "It was my power you made your court to; you thought to haul yourself higher on my coattails and rule the state from behind my throne. Do not tell me tales of your undying love. "
