Sortilege in the Gales

The need to leave was on the tip of her fingers. She desperately tries to reach for her newfound freedom, but it doesn't work. Sadness and loneliness wrap around her like the finest silk clothes. The young mother has to hide her bruises with makeup and her tears with smiles. Looking towards her kin gave her a sense of jealousy but also a sense of determination. Although her innocence is gone, there is still a chance for them. So, she will do what she can to protect them from their wretched father. But that is easier said than done.

These women are all Cattivo women. But they decide on NOT claiming that last name due to Stronzo Cattivo being an awful man. They then claim Mariaisabella's (deceased) aunt's name.

They are in Italy. Milan is a real place in Italy. So they are just traveling from Rome to Milan. This is set in between the Romantic and Victorian Era. So they do not have the privileges we women have today (even though there is still stigma between all sexes). The government is the Kingdom of Italy. So it is a monarchy.

This also means that every Italian area has a council. The council is aristocrats (like Stronzo). Their job (in this story) is to tax their people and send the money to the monarchy. Even though they do this, it will only be on a monthly percentage.
