Chapter LXXI: The First Dinner in Rome
As soon as the Pope rose from his seat, he accompanied us to show us the rooms where we would be staying during our time in Rome. Well, Cesare already knew where his room was, as it had been his room for almost four years since he came to Rome with his father. However, I did not know and needed help from the Pope and Cesare.
After that, Benjamin found out that he would be staying in the room next to ours to protect us and be closer to us for various reasons. Honestly, I am immensely glad that Benjamin is in Rome and that I can be with Cesare from now on in our room. Everything seems to be fine from what I can tell.
On the way to our rooms, the Pope seemed more excited than ever, although Cesare appeared as grumpy as he does on mornings when he has to give an important speech and is sleepy. It seems that my elevation to the rank of Cardinal-Priest, a rank higher than his, bothers him more than anything else.
