@Quint Yup I understand your points,it's not easy to Sever old connections,so I get how she could still have a shred of hope that Cesare might love her,but still, it leaves a bad taste in my mouth because I know she loves Alfonso but these past few chapters make it seem Like she's ready to throw it all away For Cesare :( but at the end of the day,as you Said,these scenes are essential For the plot AND For Ari's development :) so I shall hope For the best
