[Assassin's Creed] How to tame the Italian cannon king

1488

"According to the information just received, the Templar ship is about to return from Cyprus." Federico informed Ezio.At this time, Ezio is teaching Cecilia the basics of swordsmanship, while Anastasia is teaching Silvio and Yuri some basic subjects.

Cecilia is only 7 years old, but she has already done some moves in style.Although Anastasia has always been a little hesitant and worried about Cecilia's decision, she was finally persuaded by Ezio-let Cecilia train with him for a few years first, if Cecilia can't bear this This kind of hard work, I definitely don't force it.And Cecilia also pulled in the eloquent Silvio to reassure Anna. In this situation of double attack, Anastasia had to agree with her daughter's choice.Ana is personally responsible for the education of Silvio and Yuri, and Cecilia will also learn from her when Federico and Ezio are out on missions.

Even though their children's paths still have to be chosen by themselves in the end, Anastasia insisted on laying down some basic skills. At least after leaving the wealth of the Auditore family, they can still live well on their own. .

At the beginning, Yuri was obviously very disturbed and even panicked by Anastasia's treatment like this, but after gradually getting to know their family and gradually coming into contact with Anastasia's thoughts that are far different from this era, So I tried my best to integrate into this family, even full of gratitude.

After all, in this era, when Jews are regarded as "parasites", "untouchables", "traitors" and "mean ghosts", how lucky was he to be rescued by Anastasia and receive such attention , now that both parents are dead, I still live better than most people.

Anastasia was a little surprised by Silvio's intelligence, so there was no need to consider the age difference between him and Yuri and his ability to accept.Anna even considered handing him over to Leonardo so that he could be nurtured in that environment.But in the end, the mother's sensibility prevailed and kept him by her side.Although her talent is far from that of Leonardo, at least she can teach him what Silvio wants to learn at this stage.

After hearing the news that the Templars were coming back, Anna paused with the pen in her hand, and the two sensitive children around her seemed to realize something, but she just calmed down and smiled at them.Then he turned back to the house and prepared equipment for Ezio.Only she could clearly feel that her hands were even trembling slightly.

Although most of the time I can't remember clearly, but this time, there is no mistake.

What was transported back from Cyprus was the Pieces of Eden - the Golden Apple, and this time Ezio's enemy was also his father-killing enemy - Rodrigo Pogil.

That night, Ezio brought back news that they were leaving Venice, along with the Golden Apple.

Anastasia looked at him and asked, "Did you see him? The Spaniard?"

Ezio didn't miss the strong hatred that flashed in her eyes. It can be said that Anna, who has always been calm, almost never showed such a look.He nodded, "But I couldn't kill him."

Anna closed her eyes wearily, took a deep breath, and said, "It's good that you're fine." After finishing speaking, she helped him take off the assassin's clothes, and put on the wound medicine as he knew the way.

"Anna... maybe you can try to let go of this hatred..." Carrying it is too hard, revenge should be left to me.

"Let go of your hatred?!" Anna's voice suddenly rose, "That man! He poisoned my father to death! But you told me to let go of my hatred?!"

"...you know that's not what I meant."

"Ezio, if your father and brother died at the hands of that bastard, in all fairness would you let it go?! It's been 10 years since then, and my mother still hasn't forgiven me! He killed My family is torn apart! Up to now, I have only seen my younger brother once! Now you are telling me to let go!"

Ezio looked in amazement at Anastasia who was so angry for the first time in his memory, and at the same time wondered how she knew that her mother had always blamed Anastasia for Uberto Alberti's death. body——even though she and Anna's brother have been keeping it from her.

Anastasia also realized her gaffe, dropped the wound medicine, said "Sorry", opened the door and left the room.

Anna wandered aimlessly in the alleys of Venice. Although she didn't want Ezio and the others to worry, she really needed to be quiet in her bad state.

She leaned against the bridge, looking down at the shimmering water.Although the river water in Venice is beautiful, it often exudes a stench, just like the dirty environment in Venice and the world-it looks glamorous on the surface, but it is rotten in it.

The Knights Templar—not to mention other people, Rodrigo is one of the sources of filth.At least, this year's Templars have been abysmal.

Even if I rationally tell myself that this incident should not be blamed on Ezio at all, but when I think that I am disgusted by my mother and I don’t know where my father is buried, I have only seen my beloved brother Ferra for so many years Inside, she just... couldn't help hating Rodrigo Pogier.

What's more, even though later in Rome, Ezio should have the chance to kill each other, but he still forgave the "Spanish", which made her even more desperate.

Did she really have to wait until Rodrigo Pogier was poisoned to death by her own son before she could watch this enemy die before her own?

About why she knew that her mother hated herself all the time?It couldn't be easier.There hasn't been a single letter from my mother to me in the past ten years, and she will attend my wedding in the future. What else can express the other party's attitude better than this?

Worse than hatred and loathing is indifference.

I'm afraid my mother won't care about where I die.

This kind of life... is simply... terrible.

She lay prone on the side of the bridge, buried her head between her arms and cried silently.There was no one around at this point, and she didn't have to worry about any embarrassing things happening.

However, a hand gently patted her shoulder.She wiped her tears on her sleeves and looked up.I saw Ezio looking at herself with a distressed face, stretched out the pulp of his index finger, and wiped the moisture from the corners of her eyes for her.

"How do you..."

Ezio turned sideways so that she could clearly see the three children who had been squatting in the corner not far away. Cecilia, Silvio and Yuri all looked at her worriedly, but timidly looked at her again. Dare not to go forward, "They are very worried about you and have been following you."

Anna stared blankly at the three children. After a while, she couldn't help laughing through her tears and squatted down.Seeing this, the three children immediately ran forward, especially Cecilia, who hugged herself tightly.

"Sorry for worrying you."

Cecilia shook her head, "Mom, don't worry! If Dad bullies you! I'll call you back!"

"Ah! Is Cecilia so powerful!"

"En!" Cecilia clenched her left fist, "If you can't beat it, just call Uncle Federico for help!"

Anna smiled and touched Cecilia's blond hair, which was similar to her own, and nodded, "If this kind of thing really happens, I will definitely look for Cecilia!"

Hearing this, Cecilia lowered her head in a little disappointment, and muttered, "Isn't it..."

Anna didn't hear clearly, but Ezio naturally didn't miss it. He flicked Cecilia's forehead with his index finger: "What are you thinking about every day! How could I bully your mother!"

Cecilia covered her head and gave Ezio a hard look, "Don't pat me on the head! I won't grow taller!"

"You three brats hurry home and pack your things! You're leaving Venice tomorrow! And it's unlikely that you'll come back in the future. Go and pack your bags so you don't get in the way here!" Ezio finished speaking, without any doubt. Unceremoniously drove a few little guys away.

Yuri and Silvio had no choice but to force Cecilia away, who was very reluctant. Anna waved at them, smiled and watched their figures disappear into the alley.

Now, with only Ezio by her side, Anastasia still didn't want to turn around and face this reality.She also knew that she shouldn't blame Ezio for this matter, but this sensibility still exploded.She turned sideways, not wanting to face each other directly, and Anna was overwhelmed by their rare argument.

Ezio, who is familiar with the character of the opponent, of course knows what kind of mentality Anna is now. Anna has always been very calm, even mature beyond her age, so the temper she just lost in front of him even surprised Ezio in his heart.At least she was willing to "confide" her anger to herself.

Ezio hugged Anna from behind, taking advantage of his height difference, rubbing his head against her blond hair.

"Today, you are willing to be angry with me, I am really happy."

Anna just put her hands on Ezio's arms, trying to tear them apart, but was stunned by Ezio's words.

"You used to be too good-tempered, but it's impossible for anyone to be without negative emotions, isn't it?"

"You buried those things in your heart and didn't express them to anyone. Because you never kept a diary, and even the last way was abandoned by you."

"So, today, I'm glad you're willing to tell me you're mad. Not because of that damned Spaniard - believe me, if I had the chance, I'd have dealt with him - but, isn't it It means that you trust me more."

"I know how much you resent him for so many years. If you imagine... how I would feel after not saving Federico and the others, then your anger at me... I even have to say that I deserve it of."

"So, stop torturing yourself. Tell me all about it."

Anna felt her eye sockets getting hotter and hotter, and her vision gradually became blurred. The river water and bridge deck in front of her all disappeared into a blur.Her fingertips touched her cheek, and it was really wet.Anastasia turned around slowly, hugged Ezio tightly back, buried her face in his chest and burst into tears.

Ezio carefully took Anna into his arms, stroking her blonde hair.Anna didn't need her own verbal comfort at this time, it was enough to be by her side.

The author has something to say:

Actually the text is almost over

I didn't plan to write the Roman part of the second generation in the outline, after all, it involves more modern plots

Maybe I'll make up some episodes later.

Just got home, very lazy.
