    Summary

    Everyone in the Vatican had heard how the Venetian Patriarch had been forced to take in his grand-niece after the sudden death of her parents, but Aldo had assumed she'd be quickly passed off to other relatives once she arrived in Italy. Now, seeing the way Tedesco interacts with the girl, Aldo can't help but wonder if the plan has changed.

    Tedesco acquires a child, and Aldo, for some reason, can't help but be fascinated by the changes this brings about in the Curia's most infamous conservative.

    Summary

    "You could always seduce him."

    "He's a priest," Aldo scoffed.

    "So?"

    Aldo flopped back onto the couch and threw an arm across his eyes.

    "I'm not going to fuck a priest, Giulio."

    "Why not? You seduce him and he lets you open the tomb because of how good your dick is, or you seduce him and then you blackmail him into letting you open the tomb. Either way you get what you want."

    He didn't want to blackmail a priest, or fuck one, but he couldn't deny the logic.
