  Hey...
  look.

• 2993
• Ship's Sailors
  ...!
  Is that Player!?

• 2994
• Merchant
  Yeah...
  Player, one of the heroes of Jaffa.

• 2995
• Voice
  Are you Player...?

• 2996
• Aristocrat
  The Doge wishes to see you.
  Come to the mansion immediately.

• 2997
• Aristocrat
  The Doge wishes to see you.
  Come to the mansion immediately.

• 2998
• Guard
  Player.
  The Doge is waiting.
  Enter.

• 2999
• Cabinet Secretary Mocenigo
  Player.
  The Doge is waiting.
  I will show you the way.

• 3000
• Doge of Venice
  Player...
  I thank you for your hard work at Jaffa.
  The treaty with the Turks would not have been successful if it was not for you.
  To thank you for your dedication, you will be given I reward of 1,000,000 Ducats.

• 3001
• Doge of Venice
  ...
  I have called you here today for an important message.
  There is a seat open now in the Decemviri.
  Orseolo, who is now stationed in Candia, has been chosen to take that seat.
  You were part of that battle, and know the location and Orseolo well.
  We would like you to bring Orseolo back to us.
  Will you accept?

• 3002
• What do you want to do?

• 3003
• I understand.

• 3004
• Why now, after all of this?

• 3005
• No.

• 3006
• Doge of Venice
  ...
  I see, thank you, Player.
  We are counting on you.
  This is the official notice of appointment for Alvise.
  Make sure you give it to him directly.

• 3007
• Doge of Venice
  ...
  Please, do not ask us the reason.
  Just get the job done, Player.
  This is the official notice of appointment.
  Make sure you give it to him directly.

• 3008
• Doge of Venice
  Unfortunately, we have no one else to ask...
  Just get the job done, Player.
  This is the official notice of appointment for Alvise.
  Make sure you give it to him directly.

• 3009
• Resident
  Look, it's our saviour!

• 3010
• Merchant
  Player, we heard that the truce with the Turks is thanks to you and Alvise.

• 3011
• Housewife
  It's such a travesty.
  Sending the true saviour, the young Orseolo, out to the outskirts, and becoming the next Doge...
  Gradenigo deserves the punishment he got.

• 3012
• What question do you want to ask?

• 3013
• What punishment?

• 3014
• How do you know this?

• 3015
• Housewife
  I mean, after what happened?
  No one in town believes anything the government says anymore.

• 3016
• What question do you want to ask?

• 3017
• What happened?

• 3018
• What does the government say?

• 3019
• Housewife
  Didn't you know? Hey, you, tell Player what happened.

• 3020
• Merchant
  You don't know what happened?
  Well, let me tell you, then.

• 3021
• Merchant
  It was about a month ago...
  Gradenigo came home after the truce with the Turks.
  We were able to create a truce with the Turks without any casualties, so the entire nation was happy.
  Gradenigo was treated as a hero, and was appointed as the next Doge by the Doge himself.
  Then...

• 3022
• Gradenigo
  Fellow citizens of our beloved Venice, today I have a special announcement for all of you.
  ...In recognition for my hard work in reconciling with Turkey, I have been chosen as the next Doge.

• 3023
• Gradenigo
  Of course, I am far too unworthy and talentless for such an important position, and so I tried to decline.
  But, his Excellency refused to accept it, and went on to say this:
  "One who truly loves and cherishes the people is one who is most fit for the position."
  To these warm words, I gladly...!

• 3024
• Gradenigo
  ...and...warm...ly..accep...ted...

• 3025
• Gradenigo
  the...po...si...ti...on...

• 3026
• Aristocrat
  ...Chairman! Chairman Gradenigo...!

• 3027
• Aristocrat
  ...He's dead...

• 3028
• Resident
  Hey...
  Up there on the belfry...!

• 3029
• Resident
  ...Is that the culprit...!?

• 3030
• The base conspiracy employed by this man against our Sheikh Faisal shall not be forgiven.
  He shall pay for this with his life.
  The soldiers of Bedouin shall have their revenge.

• 3031
• Merchant
  ...
  So, just like the case with Master Orseolo, the perpetrator was not found.
  They found out later that he was poisoned.
  Apparently, a scorpion was hidden in his clothes.

• 3032
• Resident
  A scorpion with a strong venom, that can only be found in the deserts.
  The government is trying to hide this, though.

• 3033
• Resident
  Then, a few days later, some of the merchants from Egypt were talking about a strange rumour.
  That Alvise Orseolo, who should have escaped, was having quite a battle off the coast of Beirut against the Turks.

• 3034
• Merchant
  ...
  So some people who had more than their fair share of curiosity went out to find out what was going on.
  They figured out that Gradenigo stole credit for what Master Alvise accomplished.

• 3035
• Housewife
  But it's too bad, the young Orseolo is demoted...

• 3036
• Voice
  Hey, all of you!

• 3037
• Official
  Spreading stupid rumours again, are you?

• 3038
• Merchant
  Whoa! Let's get out of here!

• 3039
• Julien
  (There is nothing more to do here...)

• 3040
• Resident
  I'm glad that official couldn't run very fast.

• 3041
• Merchant
  It's not like they can hide everything Gradenigo did.
  The truth will come out, sooner or later.

• 3042
• Resident
  ...
  Player, did you have any more questions?

• 3043
• What question do you want to ask?

• 3044
• Why do the officials hide the truth?

• 3045
• Where did the man in the blue outfit go?

• 3046
• Don't ask anything

• 3047
• Merchant
  I don't know, probably to save face.

• 3048
• Resident
  They can't honestly admit that they knew Gradenigo was up to no good, but they let him do it anyway.
  Besides, if the war went on, Orseolo would have built a new nation in the Suez by now.

• 3049
• Merchant
  A blue outfit? Was there anyone like that?
  Hey...
  have you seen someone like that?

• 3050
• Resident
  No...? Why?

• 3051
• Housewife
  ...
  Master Alvise sailed off with his fleet this morning.
  He said it was training for the rowboats.

• 3052
• Voice
  Player...!

• 3053
• Housewife
  ...
  Look, it's his younger sister.

• 3054
• Vittoria
  Player, it's been too long.
  My brother and I would have gone out to greet you if we knew you were coming.
  I'm sorry we couldn't.

• 3055
• What do you want to do?

• 3056
• Explain the situation.

• 3057
• Don't say anything

• 3058
• Vittoria
  My brother should return shortly.

• 3059
• Vittoria
  ...
  
  So...
  the Doge wants my brother to become a member of the Council again? But...
  I can't believe it.
  Gradenigo would never let something like that happen...

• 3060
• What do you want to do?

• 3061
• Tell her about what happened to Gradenigo

• 3062
• Do not tell her about Gradenigo

• 3063
• Vittoria
  But...
  why...

• 3064
• Vittoria
  ...
  He was...
  He was assassinated?
  But that paper that was thrown from the tower...

• 23232
• Several days later, Player returned to Venice and noticed some people talking about the latest gossip.

• 23233
• Upon entering town, an official appeared with orders for the to appear at the Doge's mansion.

• 23234
• The Doge was pleased with Player's efforts at Jaffa and had prepared a lavish reward.
  However, there was something distant about his demeanour.
  There was a sudden opening in the Decemviri, and Alvise, who was stationed in Candia, was chosen as the successor.
  Not knowing the Doge's true intention, Player went to Alvise of the appointment.

• 23235
• Waiting for Player to come out of the mansion were a group of citizens offering a warm welcome.
  The citizens praised Player and Alvise as heroes that had saved the country.
  In contrast, they said it was only natural for Gradenigo to receive divine punishment.
  Not knowing the circumstances, Player enquired as to what had happened.
  A merchant began speaking about events from roughly one month ago.
  Gradenigo had returned as a hero that had made peace with Turkey.
  And for a while, the Doge had even proclaimed him as the next Doge.
  However, as that was being reported to the citizens, he quickly fell over dead.
  In addition, at that moment, some inflammatory pamphlets had been distributed from the tower, and they had the following message written on them, ^The soldiers of Bedouin shall have their revenge.^ And as if to support this claim, the cause of Gradenigo's death was found to have been from the strong poison of a desert scorpion that was found in his clothes.

• 23236
• Several days later, a merchant from Egypt was gossiping about Alvise in a battle near the coastal waters of Jaffa.
  As a result, people investigated the situation and what they found was the truth about the peace treaty.
  Now, other than the government, nobody believed the official report.
  However, then an official appeared and chastised them for spreading rumours.
  Suddenly, the citizens escaped.
  Julien was watching from the shadows and thought that there is nothing holding him down to this land and he disappeared.

• 23237
• Heading to Candia, Alvise was leading his fleet in some military exercises.
  Just then, Vittoria appeared.

• 23238
• She had heard that Alvise was returning to join the Decemviri and could not believe it.
  Then, a loud voice could be heard coming from the port.
  Alvise had returned from his exercises.
