Most Humiliating Moment: On our procession to Canterbury we stopped in Italy and held an audience with the Pope.  When his holiness approached the family Katarina swept in and searched his grace for weapons.  Do you believe her.  The pope stated that if we left Italy right away and promised never to return our family need never send a gift to the church again.

Do you remember your first kiss: Da.  It was when Prince Vlad and I were courting.  We were walking in the garden near the pond.  The moonlight was reflecting on Vlad's face which made him look like he was made of glass.  I felt like I was lost in his eyes.  My will was not my own and yet my heart could not say no, and when our lips touched I felt a shock that felt like the earth did move.
