Last Day in Venezia

Upon hearing his name, Senator Ciriaco Dandolo, who had been engrossed in paperwork at his desk, looked up sharply. His hands stilled, and his lips twitched involuntarily as he processed the gravity of the situation.

The chamber's eyes were on him, each senator wearing a mask of varying emotion—suspicion, curiosity, perhaps even schadenfreude.
