Ludovico will hold power only until his timid nephew young Galeazzo comes of age—if he ever does.

"I think everybody expects that the one thing that Ludovico really wants is the dukedom of Milan. Eh, he's prepared to go to extraordinary lengths to get it."

But the armies of kings and the cruel uncertainty of politics will overturn Ludovico's dreams of glory and everything that da Vinci has hoped for.

Her head turns to the right as if distracted by something to decide. The animal as well is tense\ and alert. Again da Vinci's code pushes him to tackle new ideas.

"He's almost obsessive in his quest to want to know as much as possible about what he's interested in, while he..."
