Sido looked around the new Villa her family just bought. "Papa it's beautiful" she said. She loved the smell of the new wood and looked around. The gardens were huge and the rooms massive. She blushed when she saw her room was on a balchony near some tree's used for herbal remedies and had been filled with everything she would require to make the remidies.
"Yes Mio dio," Her father laughed at her. "It's quite different from France isn't it? Something you would enjoy better?" he asked.
"Papa, I love France. When we agreed to move to Firanze it was for the fact I thought there would be blossoms everywhere" Sido said recalling their many talks on the subject.
"Where has your fool of a brother gone? I thought I told him to be back by now!" Her father was impatient with her brother Angelo. He looked at her and Sido sighed knowing that he knew that she knew where he was.
"Gone to see a pretty girl in town" she blushed making her father laugh. "Perphas on his father's inheritance of looks" she added to stop him.
They heard the door to the front open and Angelo strolled in. "Ca Va mon soeur?" He asked his sister.
"Ca Va. Tres bien mon frere. Where have you been?" she asked switching back to Itallian.
"I was doing the job father asked of me concerning our order." Right the brotherhood, she remembered even as a child that the brotherhood took place over family in most of the members but not in hers.
"Good. Did you see Giovanni?" Her father asked.
"Si, he said that he and his family would be honoured to join us. Sidonie why are you blushing?" Angelo answered before he asked.
"Because of the pretty girl you saw dear brother. I think I will have to change my into my dress. Trousers and shirts of men are not supposed to be worn to formal parties are they?" she asked dismissing herself.
"The blue silk one with green trims sister. They bring out your eyes" Angelo called after her.
"And to a man whom I have no interest in because he is married to a wife and has a daughter two year and a son seven years younger than me? Why would my eyes stray to him?" she called behind her.
"Because his second youngest son is your friend"
