• 2414
• Hawker
  Hey...
  Did you hear that the Bedouin are raising an army?

• 2415
• Merchant
  Yeah.
  They say they're using Jaffa as a base and attacking Ottoman troops.
  They even say that Faisal is the one leading the attacks.

• 2416
• Hawker
  Faisal...?!
  ...I can't believe it.
  Then, that would mean this area is getting really dangerous...

• 2417
• Merchant
  Nah, it'll be fine.
  Even if Faisal is behind them, they won't waste time suppressing this area.
  And on top of that, only a few tribes are participating.
  In Istanbul, they say they've already prepared a large suppression fleet.

• 2418
• Hawker
  I see...
  Then I guess we don't have to worry too much.

• 2419
• Vittoria
  (...So, it's already begun).
  Come on, Player, let's hurry.

• 2420
• Hawker
  It's so disquieting that Faisal is going around rounding up soldiers.

• 2421
• Merchant
  Ah, he'll soon be suppressed and stopped.

• 2422
• Bedouin Soldier
  ...This city is controlled by the Bedouin army.
  We ask that any travellers turn back.

• 2423
• Vittoria
  Do you know if a man named Alvise Orseolo is here? I'm his sister, Vittoria...

• 2424
• Bedouin Soldier
  Oh ho.
  So you are relatives of the one from Venice? Very well.
  You may pass.

• 2425
• Bedouin Soldier
  Sir Alvise should be meeting with Master Faisal over strategy there in that abandoned building.
  Although they really should be done by now...

• 2426
• Bedouin Soldier
  I thought that it would be easy for us to protect this city, but...those Turkish soldiers proved to be tougher than we expected.

• 2427
• Venetian Soldier
  Haven't Sir Orseolo and the chief finished their talk yet...?

• 2428
• Faisal
  ...We finally now have control of this city, and you want us to retreat...?

• 2429
• Alvise
  ...That's right.
  Soon, a fleet let by Hayreddin will come and surround this city.
  Once that happens, your deaths are all but assured.

• 2430
• Faisal
  Wa ha ha! Is that your concern?
  We would have already lost our lives if you hadn't shown up.
  We are happy to lose them in battle.

• 2431
• Alvise
  ...I appreciate your kindness.
  But...if I hadn't lost the treasured sword, things would have never turned out like this.
  But now that I have involved you in this losing battle, the least I can do is try to keep you alive.
  If I can't do that, I don't have a leg to stand on..

• 2432
• Faisal
  ...
  So if we do leave the city, what do you intend to do?

• 2433
• Alvise
  ...We will hide in the shadows when night falls on the enemy fleets and ambush them from within.

• 2434
• Faisal
  An ambush with only three ships...? You can't mean...

• 2435
• Alvise
  That's right...
  If I'm going to die anyway, I want to take down as many of the enemy as I can first...

• 2436
• Alvise
  ...Who's there! I told them not to let anyone in during...

• 2437
• Vittoria
  Alvise...!

• 2438
• Alvise
  ...Vittoria? Player?

• 2439
• Faisal
  Player and Sir Orseolo's sister.
  How good to see you again.

• 2440
• Alvise
  What are you doing here...

• 2441
• Vittoria
  ...I forced Player to come along.
  There's something I just had to talk to you about...

• 2442
• Faisal
  ...Apparently this is a complicated errand.
  Allow me to excuse myself.
  I must go and give my soldiers the order to retreat, after all.

• 2443
• Alvise
  You two...
  Do you have any idea how dangerous it is to be here now?
  Just hurry up and tell me what you want.

• 2444
• What do you want to do?

• 2445
• Ask him where the picture is hidden

• 2446
• Show him Julien's letter

• 2447
• Alvise
  Picture...?

• 2448
• Vittoria
  Yes...
  The picture of the Madonna and Child that Father loved and kept in the storehouse.
  I want you to tell me where it is.

• 2449
• Alvise
  ...
  Hmph.
  That's why you came all this way?
  I heard you gave all that junk to Gradenigo.
  I'm sure it just got mixed up with the rest of it.

• 2450
• Vittoria
  ...
  ...I went into the storehouse before I sent the art to him.
  But that picture was nowhere to be found, no matter how hard I searched...

• 2451
• Alvise
  ......

• 2452
• Vittoria
  Please, Alvise, tell me the truth...!
  ...That picture may be the only key to getting back the treasured sword.

• 2453
• Alvise
  ...Hmph.
  What is this nonsense you're up to at a time like this...

• 2454
• Vittoria
  Look at this letter

• 2455
• Vittoria
  Please, Alvise, look at this letter.

• 2456
• Alvise
  Hmph.
  Now what is this?
  Do you think I have time to be looking at letters when we are on the brink of war?

• 2457
• Vittoria
  Wait!
  Alvise...
  Don't you want to get the treasured sword back?

• 2458
• Alvise
  The treasured sword...?

• 2459
• Alvise
  This is...
  It can't be...

• 2460
• Vittoria
  Yes...
  Julien left it.
  He says that that picture is the only memento of his dead mother.
  He says he'll give us back the treasured sword in exchange for it...

• 2461
• Vittoria
  ...Alvise, please...
  What is the letter talking about?
  Why would you hide a memento of Julien's mother?

• 2462
• Alvise
  ......

• 2463
• Alvise
  ...I know nothing about Julien's mother...!
  That letter is nothing but lies.

• 2464
• Vittoria
  But...
  Remember this part in the letter he scattered at your inauguration?

• 2465
• A's father, M, similarly falsified evidence against an innocent viscountess while serving as resident ambassador in Paris in order to fulfil selfish personal desires.

• 2466
• Alvise
  ......

• 2467
• Vittoria
  And remember when you tried to arrest him...!

• 2468
• Alvise
  He has appeared here for no other reason than to destroy our family.
  I have already had him thoroughly investigated.
  Now, why not come out and reveal your true identity, Julien Clarence...
  Or should I say, the son of Viscountess Margaret Vernier.

• 2469
• Vittoria
  ...Tell me the truth.
  Where is that picture? What happened between our father and Julien's mother?

• 2470
• Alvise
  ...Hmph.
  Even if I told you, there is nothing you could do about it now...!
  ...Now, give me that letter.
  My subordinates will use it to track him down.

• 2471
• What do you want to do?

• 2472
• Stop Alvise

• 2473
• See how things progress

• 2474
• Alvise
  Player, I'm sorry, but I would like you to keep quiet about this...
  ...Now, give me the letter, Vittoria.

• 2475
• Vittoria
  No! The letter says that I have to come alone...!

• 2476
• Alvise
  I have to take care of this by myself.
  It is my duty as the leader of the Orseolo family.

• 2477
• Vittoria
  Why...?
  Why do you always, always try to take on everything by yourself?

• 2478
• Alvise
  Take on everything...?

• 2479
• Vittoria
  That's right...
  It's not just the picture.
  It's this war too.
  I know all about Sir Gradenigo's unreasonable orders.
  ...But, if you die here, then what happens?
  How are the people of Venice supposed to live under Turkish rule?

• 2480
• Alvise
  ......

• 2481
• Vittoria
  Please come up with an answer on your own, Alvise...
  Right now all you have to do is win, and survive.
  You can't die here now.

• 2482
• Alvise
  ...
  Win, and survive...eh.

• 2483
• Vittoria
  That's right.
  Leave the treasured sword up to me.
  I promise I will get Julien to return it.
  So please...
  Tell me where the Madonna and Child picture is.

• 2484
• Alvise
  ...You just don't know when to quit, do you...
  The two of you, come with me.

• 2485
• Vittoria
  Alvise...

• 2486
• Alvise
  ...Sir Faisal, I'm going to take these two to a safe location.
  Can I ask you to order the Bedouin soldiers to tighten their security around the harbour?

• 2487
• Faisal
  Then...

• 2488
• Alvise
  Mm.
  If we can intercept the Turkish fleets using this city as a base, I will ask you all for help.
  I can't...give up on everything just yet.

• 2489
• Faisal
  Very well.
  Either way, I was planning to ignore your orders to retreat and continue to strengthen the guard.
  I'll show those Turks what-for when they get here.

• 2490
• Alvise
  Thank you...
  I'm counting on you, Sir Faisal.

• 2491
• Faisal
  I don't know what happened.
  But, thanks to you two, Alvise now has fire in his eyes once again.
  I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

• 2492
• Alvise
  We'll now head to the Famagusta Church.
  Come with me.

• 23181
• Player and Vittoria first set out for Egypt, where Alvise was to have joined up with Faisal.

• 23182
• There, they heard a rumour that Faisal had led a small group of Bedouin soldiers in an uprising and attacked a fortress in Jaffa.

• 23183
• After arriving in Jaffa, they learned that Alvise and Faisal were discussing their strategy at the ruins of a mosque in town.

• 23184
• However, upon checking out the location, Faisal had convinced Alvise to leave Jaffa, since if it were to be surrounded by Hayreddin's fleet, then any army holed up in the town would surely be annihilated.
  For that reason, he wished for the Bedouin troops to leave the front lines so that they could lead long and productive lives.
  Meanwhile, Alvise had launched a surprise attack against the Turkish fleet, determined to get one last blow in before he died.
  He blamed himself because he felt if he had not lost the treasured sword, things would not have turned out like they did.

• 23185
• Just then, Player and Vittoria arrived at the scene.

• 23186
• Vittoria showed Julien's letter to Alvise, which asked where the picture of the holy mother and child that was a portrait of his mother was hidden.
  Alvise claimed that the letter was nothing but random nonsense and he repeatedly denied knowing anything about Julien's mother.
  However, Vittoria refused to back down due to the pamphlets that had been distributed during the appointment ceremony at the Orseolo mansion that stated, "A's father, M, similarly falsified evidence against an innocent viscountess while serving as resident ambassador in Paris in order to fulfil selfish personal desires." Additionally, when Alvise had tried to arrest Julien, he had called him the "son of the wife of the Viscount of Vernier, Marguerite".
  Vittoria figured that Julien's actions must have been based on something that had happened between their father Maurizio and Julien's mother.
  However, Alvise told her that knowing the story would not change anything and still refused to speak.
  As the head of the Orseolo household, this could only be resolved by him and him alone.
  He then asked Vittoria to deliver a letter for him, to which Vittoria tearfully replied, "Why do you always have to take on such heavy burdens alone?" Even if Alvise were to die in this battle, nothing would come of it.
  Rather, the people of Venice would fall under the rule of Turkey.
  Vittoria explained that what was necessary now was not to die a needless death, but to win and find a way to survive.
  Alvise appeared to have a troubled look on his face for a moment, and then decided to join them.

• 23187
• Alvise asked Faisal to strengthen the defences around the harbour.
  He was determined to strike back at the Turkish fleet using Jaffa as a base.
  At any rate, Faisal said he had no plans of retreating and was ready to fortify the defences.

• 23188
• Alvise was deeply grateful for hearing such inspiring words, and then turned to order Player to follow him to the church in Famagusta.
