(to Caterina and Giovanni Sforza) And, if the King decides to ride north, your armies would ride with his?
Yes- in return for a certain consideration.
And, this... consideration? (he attempts to drink, but Caterina takes the glass from him)
His cannon. (the French commanders chuckle)
(smirks) You would have him leave his cannon to the Sforza armies?!
Not every piece. But, enough to defend our castle at Forli- to replicate the great fortresses of France.
(looks up after a moment)...Giovanni Sforza.
(gestures to Caterina) And my cousin, Caterina Sforza, Your Majesty.
You have many cousins, I am told. (takes a cup of wine) Are they all impotent, like you? (the French laugh)
That is a vile Borgia slander- perpetrated by the Pope himself.
(grins) Which is why you are here, of course- you would have a taste of vengeance. The Italian appetite for vengeance astounds even us, Lord Sforza-
(steps forward) the Italian appetite for vengeance may be boundless, Majesty, but happily for you, the Spanish appetite for war is not. (Charles stares at her, intrigued)
