Oh that lady! I would wager that there never was a more spiteful creature that walked this sorry earth! How? How could a face of such unforgiving beauty hold the temper of a satanic snake? Mine eyes were deceived, I thought her to be changed, but upon arrival back in Messina, what is it I see? I see the Lady Beatrice! I see the Lady Beatrice, laughing and jesting at my very existence! I see that nothing shall be changed betwixt us, the burrowing hate beneath thy skin shall burn forever more, I swear that I will always detest the vile woman as much as I do at this moment! Humiliation was served to me cold on a platter when she spat back her insults with her serpents tongue. Oh, I may have made merry jokes at her in public, but after those words we shared in those first few moments I was broken, not only in pride but in heart too. How a woman could be so cruel to the one she once adored is beyond my knowledge. I doubt even the heavens could offer reason and explanation to why it is so! Why it is that the one I hath once loved so deeply I now loathe so vehemently! Worse than these crimes she also admitted it freely - "I know you of old" she said! How could I forget? How could I forget that we were once so deeply in love that we could see past any fault or blemish of the soul? I see through her now as I would see through a window pane, I see that I shall never care for that Harpy again! Nay, I swear to hate her until the day of judgement, until death creeps upon the earth and there is nothing left for us to fight over, I swear to thee, until that day and beyond; I will hate upon the Lady Beatrice!
