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

Ezio took Anastasia's hand, and together they walked to the tree, where he began to show her how to tie a horse to the tree.Although he has always known that Anastasia has a strong learning ability... but he only did it once, and Anna restored the complicated knot exactly...

What's up with this mixed feeling of pride and loss?

Ezio pretended that Anna had actually tied the knot wrong, and changed another method, deliberately staying on Anna's smooth hands for a while, as if he was really just a "in order to teach the students well" My teacher", Anna glanced at Ezio, hooked the corners of her lips when the other party couldn't see, and covered her own smile.She was sure that she made the right call, but... it's better not to expose him in person.

Next, it's time to really start teaching riding skills.The horse that came over was much smaller, so even she could mount without Ezio's help.Ezio guided Anna in the front, telling her some of his own tricks from time to time, and even the jokes he made when he was learning how to ride. In this relaxed atmosphere, he did successfully relieve Anastasia The tension, at least you can see it from the straight back when she is not stretched.

As time passed, she gradually mastered the feeling, and asked confidently: "Ezio, can I ride faster?"

Ezio looked around at the surrounding flat terrain and nodded.Thinking of not going anywhere quickly without a whip, he patted the horse's buttocks and let it gallop forward with Anastasia.

He also let go of the other horse's rein and followed closely.

Looking at the girl's short hair, which has not yet grown back to its original length, shining in the wind and under the setting sun, and the confident smile on Anastasia's face that has not appeared for a long time, Ai Gio knew that he had finally done something right.

The continuous movement was a bit of a burden for a patient who hadn’t been out for a long time. It didn’t take long for Anastasia to draw the rein closer and stop the horse, remembering the movements that Ezio had just taught her , landed successfully.

Seeing her tired face, Ezio hugged the girl who had just dismounted from the horse. Seeing Ezio's stubborn look, Anastasia no longer asked him to put herself down. After all, it's really... sore all over.The little yellow text I read before always describes something after the H as "like being run over"... Although the situation is different, it is undoubtedly a very accurate feeling when it is used on her now.

Ezio hugged her and sat on a gentle slope, she rested her head on Ezio's thigh, because of the recent high-intensity training, Ezio's legs had become muscles, hard, It's still a bit of a knee pillow.However, the feeling of the mountain breeze was very comfortable. Anna turned her head and looked at the setting sun in the distance. She wanted to pick up a brush and paint a picture.

Ezio put his hands on Anna's short blonde hair and smoothed her hair. Because of the height difference between the two, Ezio liked this movement quite a bit, and Anastasia also felt a little bit about this kind of hair smoothing. Addiction, so every time I quietly close my eyes and enjoy it.

"Anna, I'm leaving Monteriggioni in a few days."

"The task your father entrusted to you?"

"Yes, in Ube... after your father died, I took advantage of the chaos and found some documents on him."

When the dead Uberto Alberti was mentioned, the good atmosphere seemed to disappear in an instant.

But Ezio clearly understands that this is an unavoidable problem between the two of them. If Anna has been unable to face this reality, it will be almost impossible for them to continue to develop.

But just when Ezio was about to speak to break the atmosphere of silence, it was Anna who spoke first: "Ezio, although you may scoff at this kind of thing...but my father...he is very kind to me and my family. , has always been better.”

"I have no doubts about this matter." Ezio replied quickly.In fact, among the documents he found from Uberto's body in the chaos, he found a personal letter written by Uberto Alberti to his wife.It said that he himself betrayed his good friends, the Auditore family, and turned to the Knights Templar, in large part because the Medici family wanted to deprive him of all their property - and that would leave their family on the streets nothing.This is something he cannot accept, who loves his wife and children deeply.Although he couldn't forgive the fact that he almost killed his own family, Ezio had to re-examine Uberto Alberti.

"Before that, I had actually used my own property to purchase a property in Verona for a rainy day. But... I never thought that my father would choose to stay in Florence."

"What?! You...?" Ezio was really shocked now.Although Anastasia was never short of money, he never thought that she was so rich? !

"I just sold some designs and paintings, and I occasionally take a few orders to make some portraits for others." She tried to expose the matter lightly.

"So, your mother and brother are in Verona now?"

"Yes, according to your mother, they went north after leaving Florence. They should have taken my suggestion." After a brief explanation, Anastasia suddenly straightened up and held Ezio in his arms. looked at him seriously, "Listen, Ezio. The struggle between the Assassins and the Knights Templar has lasted for too long, and it will continue in the future. This matter is my father's choice, and I have never I don't think the Assassins are responsible for his death, let alone you."

"But," Ezio paused, pointing out his real concern, "you've been blaming yourself."

Anastasia's hand slowly became cold, which is the instinctive reaction of a person's body when he wants to escape.In fact, she had been avoiding this question in front of Ezio, but Ezio grabbed her hand instead, half-forced to make Ana look directly at him.

"I do not have……"

"Anna, sometimes you don't know how good you are at lying."

"..."

"You also said just now that this is your father's choice, why do you blame yourself?"

"...You, you don't understand at all..." Anastasia clearly knew that this was all an excuse. After experiencing that accident, Ezio's growth was something that everyone saw. There was no way that clumsy lie could have fooled him.

"Then explain it to me."

There was silence between the two, but Ezio was not in a hurry to force Anna. After years of companionship, both sides knew each other's character well. At this time, it was all about who would compromise first.However, he knew very well that Anna had always been very soft-hearted towards him.

But he didn't realize it until he felt water dripping from his hand, and Anastasia cried.

"Anna!" Ezio had never seen Anastasia cry before, and this obviously panicked him, "Anna! I was wrong! You don't have to say anything! No one can force you!" Hugging tightly into his arms, he knew that Anna would compromise with him, but he didn't expect that this matter would be so difficult for her to talk about, so what he did just now... was simply a bastard.

"...No, Ezio. You are right, I have always blamed myself for my father's death." As she spoke, her emotions became more and more agitated, and she even fell on Ezio's shoulder and cried , "I should have considered this possibility! I should have considered that the inferior Pojir might directly abandon my father as a pawn! It's because I am too confident and arrogant!"

Ezio hugged her helplessly, patted her on the back with his palm, and listened to her talk quietly.To his surprise, the current situation has exceeded his expectations, and Anna is willing to confide to herself the regret buried deep in her heart.But at the same time, Ezio blamed himself even more.He had never realized that Anastasia's heart was suffering to such an extent.

When her sobs gradually subsided and her emotions gradually stabilized, Ezio said: "Anna, no one can do everything for others... Although it is not appropriate to say this, but your father made made his own choice and stuck to it."

"Among the documents I found after his death, there was a letter to your mother. In my opinion, in his heart, he loved your family first, then as the supreme judge of Florence, and finally A Templar."

Anastasia raised her head in a daze, looked at Ezio with red and swollen eyes from crying, and thought about this sentence.

...Ah, yes.

Just like she would choose to save the Auditore family no matter what, does her father have his own insistence?

Even knowing the property he bought in Verona, he will not leave.Because Florence is his pride, for which he has fought his whole life, and here, there is also the family he wants to protect.

Is this the dignity that cannot be abandoned as a man?

It seemed as if the things that had been pent up in her heart were finally untied... How could she, who inherited her father's stubbornness, not understand.

After making his own choice, even if it is death that greets him in the end - he will not regret it.

To a certain extent, they are really very similar father and daughter...

Ana showed Ezio a bright smile again: "Thank you, Ezio."

Under the afterglow of the setting sun, she re-examined the once very immature boy she liked with her swollen eyes, and she really looked more and more like the mature male god in her impression, "Ezio, I I like you the most."

After finishing speaking, she straightened up, turned her face sideways, and gave a loving kiss.

The author has something to say:

Two days ago, it was too exciting to code words, play games, and edit

Retribution has come...

Professional courses are graded, primary school report assignments and questionnaires, and social practice press releases all erupt on a certain day like a scourge.

God knows that in the summer of Yandu, he would pull passers-by to have an awkward chat about how much he wants to kill you... and fill out the 9-question questionnaire?Our teacher is afraid that he is not experienced in the world.

Then, the saved manuscript is gone. If there is no update at 9 o'clock tomorrow, the scumbag author must report in the liver during class...

Try to come back tonight for more updates!

(By the way, I didn’t feel much when I wrote the last sentence of the article. Later, when I previewed it, I suddenly found that this sentence is full of "Mrs. Gangzhu". Σ(っ°Д°;)っ)
