Lucrezia can't help herself with the gloating. She wants her victims to suffer, knowing she's outwitted them before they die. And she's narcissist enough to not learn from experience, that her victims wind up living because she gloated. No, her plans are PERFECT, and Somebody Else is to blame when the intended victims live.

People who can't admit they've lost, when they've clearly lost, tend to wind up losing a lot. Ironic.

If Lucrezia returns from her clank body exploding out over the ocean I shall be peeved.
