Author's Note: All of the Italian wording throughout the chapter is translated at the end of it.
When the brotherhood left Ezio after his initiation into the order, he sat down on a stone seat next to the water that passes through Venezia. He took off the guard's helmet he was wearing and stared into the water, looking at his cut and bruised reflection from the early sun. A thief plumped down next to him with a devilish grin on her face.
'Merda Rosa, what do you want?'
'Ben trovato Ezio, I was just thinking of last night.'
'Well i am certainly not.'
'Why? Wasn't it a good time?'
'Cazzo, why do you always conclude that I am constantly thinking about you? I have other things going on at the moment.'
Rosa stood up with her arms crossed, facing Ezio with an unimpressed look on her face. He then looks up at her.
'What?'
'Why don't you just go back to Fiorentina, to be with that puttana, you must think of her more than me.'
'Don't bring Cristina into this.'
Ezio stood up, centimeters from Rosa's face with his hidden blade unsheathed. Her face reeks of fear, but she kept it under control because she knew Ezio would never hurt her. She then became angry again.
'You must think of her, if you're not thinking about me. You're always talking about the puttana, as if you still love her.'
Ezio's hidden blade went straight to her neck, nearly piercing the skin. She looked into his eyes, knowing that he's not joking around, he might actually hurt her for this woman. Her eyes glistened with fearful and sad tears.
'She's is not what you call her. You should know that my main objective right now is to assassinate that bastardo Rodrigo. I failed for the first time tonight and all you expect is for me to come crawling back to you? Well don't expect that tonight, i'm going home.'
He retracted his blade and turned to walk away from Rosa, with fresh tears streaming down her face.
'Wait Ezio! I didn't mean to-'
'Fortitti Rosa'
He continued to walk into the darkness of the alleyway to his new destination, Repubblica Fiorentina.
