And then it all went south - Paradise VI

Empire Strikes Back: Medieval Edition! 👑⚖️

Welcome to Mercury's heaven where Emperor Justinian is serving up the ultimate history lesson with a side of political shade! 🔥 Our Byzantine emperor continues his epic tale of the Roman eagle, from Caesar's greatest hits to Charlemagne's medieval remix, proving that even in Paradise, nobody can resist a good "back in my day" story! But hold up—Justinian's not just flexing about ancient glory; he's throwing equal-opportunity shade at both Guelphs AND Ghibellines, basically telling medieval Italy "Y'all are BOTH the problem!" 🙄

Meet Romeo di Villanova, the ultimate loyal employee who got the medieval equivalent of being canceled by his boss! 💼 This faithful advisor served Count Raymond so well he quadrupled the guy's daughters' dowries, only to face jealous court gossip that would make modern Twitter drama look tame. When the ungrateful count believed the haters, Romeo packed his bags, hit the road as a poor wanderer, and died in exile—proving that even 800 years ago, good employees were underappreciated! 😤

The cosmic lesson? True nobility isn't about your blue blood or your bank account—it's about staying loyal to your principles even when everyone's throwing you under the medieval bus! 🚌 Dante's showing us that while political factions tear everything apart, real heroes like Romeo keep serving the greater good regardless of the personal cost. Sometimes the best revenge against ingratitude is simply living with integrity! ✨
