“Everyone sees what you appear to be, few experience what you really are.”

— Niccolò Machiavelli

“I told you not to go…”

[ducavalentinos]

Go back to your valley and wait for me Guidobaldo, for I am surely coming. For you. For your son. For your whole family. The depiction of Cesare and his dealing with Guidobaldo here is as predictable and inaccurate as I thought it would be, however, this scene and this line delivers some accuracy in the sense that irl Cesare truly wasn't one to show weakness. Even when there were times where it can be suggested he was afraid, he never showed it in public and he just kept on going. He certainly also did not lacked courage or boldness. But his boldness, his fearlessness wasn't reckless. It was employed in a very strategic, clever way in which he managed to use it as a shield against his enemies on several occasions in his life. Also, Machiavelli's sad face because he disappointed the Duke there isn't so so far way from reality🤭💖

Propaganda in support of the authors is accepted, you can write it both in the tag if reblog the poll (explaining maybe that is propaganda and you want to see posted) or in the comments. Every few days it will be recollected and posted here under the cut.

This follows also on another natural and common necessity, which always causes a new prince to burden those who have submitted to him with his soldiery and with infinite other hardships which he must put upon his new acquisition. In this way you have enemies in all those whom you have injured in seizing that principality, and you are not able to keep those friends who put you there because of your not being able to satisfy them in the way they expected, and you cannot take strong measures against them, feeling bound to them. For, although one may be very strong in armed forces, yet in entering a province one has always need of the goodwill of the natives.

The Prince- Chapter III (Niccolò Machiavelli)

Now, Aleksander isn't entering different land, but the points remains- he cannot rule without support of Ravkans. And as far as we're shown, masses consider him the source of all evil, First Army the puppeteer behind Tsar's indifference and I highly doubt nobles will love Grisha social climber.

[canesenzafissadimora]

Ci sono uomini che sanno tutto, peccato che questo è tutto quello che sanno.

[tuportamiviareturn]

Ognun vede quel che tu pari. Pochi sentono quel che tu sei.

Niccolò di Bernardo dei Machiavelli, noto semplicemente come Niccolò Machiavelli (Firenze, 3 maggio 1469 – Firenze, 21 giugno 1527)
