• 3065
• Vittoria
  That voice...
  I think it's coming from my brother's fleet.
  Let's go.

• 3066
• Voice
  Sharpen up, all of you! Do you think you can stand up to a real battle like that!?

• 3067
• Soldier
  ...
  My apologies, sir.
  The structure of this fleet limits its daily travel distance to 10 leagues.
  The newly recruited crossbowmen will not be able to fight beyond that.

• 3068
• Alvise
  Then train them so that they can!
  Otherwise, it will be the death of us all in our next real battle.

• 3069
• Soldier
  ...Yes, sir!

• 3070
• Alvise
  Front lines, hah!
  We are only assigned fresh recruits with no experience or training.
  How are we possibly supposed to defend our nation like this...

• 3071
• Vittoria
  Brother!

• 3072
• Alvise
  Vittoria...
  if you have the time to come down here, you should...
  
  ...? ...
  Is it you, Player?

• 3073
• Alvise
  ...Player, I thank you for visiting me, and I apologize for the sordid state of my affairs.
  This is what happens to someone who betrays his nation.

• 3074
• What do you want to do?

• 3075
• Hand him the notice of appointment

• 3076
• Don't hand over the letter

• 3077
• Alvise
  ...
  Anyway, I don't have much to offer you, but do ask if you need anything.

• 3078
• Notice of appointment given!

• 3079
• Alvise
  ...
  What is this?

• 3080
• Alvise
  ...
  They want me to come back to Venice...
  
  So, Gradenigo has finally summoned the courage to get rid of me...
  Quite the conspirator he is...

• 3081
• Vittoria
  ...
  Brother, that's not the case.

• 3082
• Alvise
  ...?

• 3083
• Alvise
  ...
  Gradenigo...
  dead...?

• 3084
• Vittoria
  That's right...
  When I heard about the letter of intent that got distributed after the incident, I thought...

• 3085
• Alvise
  I know.
  It's obvious.
  From the looks of it, it is Julien Clarence, for sure.
  Same with the deal with the French fleet.
  Must he muddle with all of my affairs...

• 3086
• Vittoria
  Julien...

• 3087
• Vittoria
  ...
  By the way, brother, what will you do now?

• 3088
• Alvise
  The Decemviri is rotten to its core, with or without Gradenigo.
  I have no intention of going back.
  I shall stay here, and...

• 3089
• Vittoria
  Brother...
  are you sure?

• 3090
• Alvise
  ......

• 3091
• Vittoria
  Venice will soon fall...
  I can see it from how this island is.
  It's supposed to be a front-line base, yet the defences are so light.
  No one in the government wants to restore Venice to its glory...

• 3092
• Alvise
  ...
  I know...
  I know that more than anyone...
  However...

• 3093
• What question do you want to ask?

• 3094
• However, what?

• 3095
• Don't ask anything

• 3096
• Vittoria
  ...
  Say it, brother.

• 3097
• Alvise
  If I go back...
  I will do a dishonour to Faisal and the Bedouin warriors.

• 3098
• Vittoria
  ......

• 3099
• Alvise
  ...
  I was not able to save them.
  I alone survived...
  and for me to run home alone, would that not be shameless?

• 3100
• Vittoria
  ...
  No, that is the reason why you must go home, is it not?

• 3101
• Alvise
  ......

• 3102
• Vittoria
  When Faisal left for Cairo with Player, he said this...

• 3103
• Faisal
  Everything starts here.
  We will conquer the Suez, and create a nation for us, the desert people.
  Then, we will create a canal, and trade with you, the Venetians, and the French.
  The battle against the Turks will go on.
  But first, we must win the battle in front of us...
  Our lifelong goals must wait.

• 3104
• Vittoria
  Faisal was willing to fight on, no matter what happened.
  Brother...
  the plan is not over yet.
  It has only started.
  Even if we take small steps...
  we must advance towards our goal.
  Is that not the only way for you, Alvise Orseolo, to repay your debts?

• 3105
• Alvise
  ...
  
  ...To rebuild the nation reopen the gate to the East...
  It may take a lifetime.
  The effort may be for naught.

• 3106
• Vittoria
  ......

• 3107
• Alvise
  ...
  But you are right.
  We must press on.
  We must rebuild our military and find an alternate source of wealth to replace the trade with the East.
  Reality is harsh, and our obstacles are numerous...
  Vittoria, prepare to depart.

• 3108
• Vittoria
  Yes...!

• 3109
• Vittoria
  ...
  His eyes...
  I'm glad, his eyes are just like the old days.
  Player, may my brother and I travel with you on your ship?

• 3110
• How will you respond?

• 3111
• Okay, I see.

• 3112
• No.

• 3113
• Vittoria
  ...
  I'm sorry.
  It was too much to ask.

• 3114
• Vittoria
  Thank you...

• 3115
• Alvise
  ...
  Player, we apologise for all of the trouble.

• 3116
• Voice
  ...Master Alvise!

• 3117
• Soldier
  ...
  The new recruits have been re-trained, sir!

• 3118
• Alvise
  Good work.
  By the way, I have a favour to ask you.
  I need you to be the commander for a while.
  I have been reassigned to the homeland.

• 3119
• Soldier
  Then, have you...

• 3120
• Alvise
  Yes, they are forcing me back into the Decemviri.

• 3121
• Soldier
  ...
  Is that so! In fact, it is only right.
  You deserve the seat more than anyone.
  However, once there, we would like for you to...

• 3122
• Alvise
  I know, I know.
  I will send more reinforcements to the front lines.
  Elites, for sure.

• 3123
• Soldier
  Thank you, sir!

• 3124
• Alvise
  What is that commotion?

• 3125
• Resident
  Look, it's Master Alvise.
  His sister Vittoria is with him!

• 3126
• Youth
  ...
  Look! Player has lead the Hero of Jaffa back to us!

• 3127
• Resident
  Alvise! You're back from Candia, does that mean...

• 3128
• Alvise
  Yes, I'm back in the Council.

• 3129
• Resident
  So finally those officials admit to what happened in Jaffa!

• 3130
• Youth
  Alright! Let's all cheer for the true bringers of peace!

• 3131
• Youth
  Viva Venezia, viva Messere Alvise!

• 3132
• Resident
  Long live Player, long live San Marco! Viva Player, viva San Marco!

• 3133
• Voice
  Master Orseolo!

• 3134
• Aristocrat
  The Doge wishes to see you.
  Please come immediately.

• 3135
• Alvise
  I understand.
  Apologies, I must come through.

• 3136
• Alvise
  The Doge's mansion...
  Even with Gradenigo gone, that white building must still be the centre of dark conspiracies and power struggles.
  There must be countless individuals there who do not rejoice at my return.
  However, I must still fight on...
  I must fulfil my promise with Faisal, with the citizens...
  And in order to restore glory to Venice.

• 3137
• Vittoria
  I'm glad...
  I no longer have anything to worry about, regarding my brother.

• 3138
• Your inventory is too full.
  Get rid of some things you don't need, then talk to me again.

• 3139
• Vittoria
  I no longer have anything to worry about, regarding my brother.
  It's been so long since the last time I saw him he looks so energetic...
  ...
  But it's ironic...
  Now it is I who am lost, without a goal...
  I have nothing...
  my Salon, my dreams...

• 3140
• How will you respond?

• 3141
• Just find a new one

• 3142
• Open another Salon

• 3143
• Come with me...

• 3144
• Vittoria
  Yes...
  it may take some time, but...

• 3145
• Vittoria
  Yes...
  but they're all gone now...

• 3146
• Vittoria
  Yes...
  it would be great to travel the world with you, Player...
  But if I left this town, I...

• 3147
• Voice
  Princess!

• 3148
• Vittoria
  What...?

• 3149
• Vittoria
  All of you...
  How...

• 3150
• Painter
  We were waiting for you to come back, princess.

• 3151
• Sculptor
  My new sculpture is almost complete.
  I must show you.

• 3152
• Vittoria
  But the Salon...
  the art...

• 3153
• Archaeologist
  Don't be silly! All we need is you, my lady.

• 3154
• Painter
  That's right.
  If we don't have any more works of art, we can make new ones.
  If we don't have money, we can make more.
  All we want is to follow your dream with you.

• 3155
• Vittoria
  Thank you...
  Thank you all so much...

• 3156
• Vittoria
  Player...
  I...
  I will open a Salon again.
  With my father's collection gone, it might not go as well as before, but...
  I want to move forward, even if it takes time.
  With new works by my friends, I want to be able to bring joy and peace to the hearts of the citizens here.
  And then one day, this beautiful city will become the world's leading city of art...

• At the port, Alvise was angry with the cowardliness of his troops stationed there.
  The troops were new recruits who had never been in a war.
  Knowing the state of this base on the front lines, he knew there would be no way they could defend the homeland.

• 23240
• Alvise spoke to Player, deriding himself for putting himself in this position.
  Upon receiving the order to return in order to join the Decemviri, he immediately suspected a trick by Gradenigo.
  However, hearing that Gradenigo had died, he was even more astonished.
  When Vittoria mentioned that politically objectionable literature was scattered from the tower, Alvise was certain that Julien was behind these events.
  He also guessed that Julien was behind the reinforcements sent to Jaffa by the Queen Mother.

• 23241
• Vittoria asked what his future plans were.
  Alvise replied that he had no intention of returning to the corrupt Decemviri.
  However, Vittoria asked him if that was what he really wanted.
  If things continued on as they were, their country would eventually perish, which Alvise himself knew.
  However, he still blamed himself for being unable to save Faisal and the others.
  However, Vittoria replied that that was why he had to return.
  Just before he died, Faisal said that the war with Turkey would continue and that they must think of what they need to do.
  Alvise needed to take up that fight and he had a responsibility to ensure that it was carried forward, step by step.

• 23242
• Troubled by the guilt of the situation he had put on himself, Alvise made up his mind to return home.

• 23243
• The group arrived in Venice where they were greeted with enthusiasm by the gathered citizens.
  Before long, Alvise was called before the Doge, and before he left for the mansion, he swore to Faisal that he would dedicate his life in order to live up to his promise and protect the people of this fickle home country.

• 23244
• Seeing her brother walk away, it was like a heavy weight had been lifted from Vittoria's shoulders.
  However, at the same time, it also meant that the thing she had been aiming for was also lost.
  For the Salon that had housed her dreams no longer existed in this city.
  However, a nostalgic voice rang throughout.
  Approaching her were the artists from her Salon.
  They had come back in order to help Vittoria realise her dream once more.
  Vittoria announced to Player that she would reopen her Salon.
  Someday, this city would serve as a capital of the arts and bring peace to the hearts of people, so that they could all take a step forward, this she swore in her heart.
