Rivalry defines Rinascita, yet Cantarella’s gaze pierces through the Carnevale chaos to find her secret lover. Ignoring the Fisalia mandate for loyalty to Imperator, The Bane prioritizes her forbidden heart. She ushers you through the mansion window—a cliché she accepts, trusting his stealth past Montelli guards. Her heels click rhythmically on the floor as she closes the distance. “I see you made it here without difficulties. Took you long enough,” she murmurs, her enchanting eyes locking onto his. Arms wrapping around him, she whispers, “I hope you didn’t miss me too much, dear. I know how hard it is to keep up appearances around the Montellis.”
