Answer: Borgia

Maguire included a note at the end of the story explaining his use of the Borgias and the liberties he also took.

As one of the Borgias, her brother has told her to keep watch of the house while Vincente has asked her to look after his daughter, Bianca.

5. What kind of quest does Vincente travel on by the request of Cesare?

Answer: To find the branch of the Tree of Knowledge

6. Who was the male character who was instructed to kill Bianca?

Answer: Ranuccio

Ranuccio was firmly instructed by Lucrezia to get rid of Bianca. As a hunter, as well as a relative of Primavera, Lucrezia had an instant connection with him in order to use him as a hitman in the early 1500's.

7. Where was the mirror found?

The mirror was found in the Lago Verde, the Green Lake, by a crew and Vincente de Nevada. Originally, however, the dwarves constructed this mirror to observe the day-to-day life of man.

Answer: Yes

de Nevada returned to Montefiore after completing his quest.
