Of course, my speech wasn't going to end there. After I began speaking even more passionately about the power of unity and the current state of society, even the nobles were reflecting on certain things and seemed to agree with the conclusion I had reached.
"And now," I said, reaching the most important part of my speech, "the Holy Father and the Church offer forgiveness and salvation from eternal punishment to all who will help bring these plans to fruition. Money will not be an issue, as the Cardinals and I have decided to sponsor these works for your benefit, the citizens of Rome!"
People could be seen struggling to contain their joy. Finally, Rome would return to its former glory, and they would be able to escape the deserved punishment for their sins. Well, I can say I killed two birds with one stone, so I decided to make a memorable end to my speech.
