• 3179
• Resident
  Well, that was quite a shock...
  I never thought he'd die so uneventfully...

• 3180
• Merchant
  Yeah...
  Apparently the cause of death was scorpion poison.
  They say they'd planted a highly poisonous scorpion from the desert in his clothes.

• 3181
• Resident
  ...Then, the Bedouin really did kill him, just like that flyer said...

• 3182
• Merchant
  But, why would the desert people want to kill Gradenigo...
  What on earth is going on...

• 3183
• Islamic Merchant
  ...Come on, don't tell me you really don't know?

• 3184
• Youth
  Yeah.
  I haven't heard any rumours about Orseolo since that accusatory letter incident.

• 3185
• Islamic Merchant
  ...Then, what was that battle I saw going down in Jaffa...

• 3186
• Guard
  Player? Come in.
  The Queen Mother awaits you inside.

• 3187
• Duke of Guise
  Good work, Player.
  The Queen Mother awaits your report.

• 3188
• Queen Mother of France
  Well done, Player.
  Let's see what the Doge had to say.

• 3189
• You handed over the Doge's letter!

• 3190
• Queen Mother of France
  ...
  I see...
  So it was all this Gradenigo who disrupted the Suez canal plan in a rush for glory.
  Seeing the gravity of the problem, the Decemviri sentenced Gradenigo to be executed as a sign of apology to my country...

• 3191
• What do you want to do?

• 3192
• Tell them the truth

• 3193
• Don't say anything

• 3194
• Queen Mother of France
  ...Hmph.
  You don't need to say anything.
  I know.

• 3195
• Queen Mother of France
  I know exactly what you want to say, but cannot.

• 3196
• Queen Mother of France
  The "sole decision" is nothing but the official story.
  But in truth, the head of state and other statesmen got scared and sacrificed him to ensure their own safety...
  The old, exquisite diplomacy that used to be known as the Queen of the Adriatic Sea has fallen far...
  ...Chamberlain, summon the head of the army.

• 3197
• Soldier
  You called, your Highness?

• 3198
• Queen Mother of France
  ...Are the preparations for battle complete?

• 3199
• Soldier
  Yes, your Highness...
  ...Then, do you wish us to begin attacking Venice...?

• 3200
• Queen Mother of France
  ...When those who run a country are more concerned for their own welfare than that of their country, that country will destroy itself even if left to its own devices.
  ...Now, the Protestants are showing signs of suspicious activity, correct?
  I want you to take the entire army and prevent a rebellion.
  Hurry your preparations.

• 3201
• Soldier
  ...Yes, sir!

• 3202
• Queen Mother of France
  ...Now then, Player.
  This is your reward for serving as my messenger.
  Take it.

• 3203
• Queen Mother of France
  At some point, I may entrust you with an even more important task.
  I will be counting on you should that time come.

• 3204
• Queen Mother of France
  (...Alvise Orseolo.
  I will spare your country on your behalf.)
  (I look forward to seeing how far you can go without being swallowed up by your country's corruption--)

• 3205
• Merchant
  ...What was that group of women just now.

• 3206
• Resident
  Oh, them.
  They came to see off that Julien fellow on his long voyage.

• 3207
• Merchant
  ...Honestly, those women never learn...
  No guy that good looking is ever up to any good.

• 3208
• Large Woman
  ...Hey.
  Are you really going?

• 3209
• Young Girl
  You've only just got back to this city...

• 3210
• Young Girl
  I hate this! I won't be able to see you anymore...

• 3211
• Julien
  Ha ha...
  Ladies, it is a true shame that I won't see you again for a while.
  But this is not a permanent farewell.
  Without a hometown to call my own, this city with you ladies here is the only place where I can truly be at peace.
  Once I finish my remaining tasks, I promise I will return.

• 3212
• Young Girl
  Really? You really promise!?

• 3213
• Julien
  Ha ha...
  But of course.
  ...Now, I'm afraid I must prepare for my departure...

• 3214
• Julien
  ...Oh, Player.
  Hello there.

• 3215
• Julien
  Player, I'm sorry to have caused you so much trouble the other day.
  To tell the truth, it's been decided that I'm going to leave this area for a little while.
  I want you to have this, as thanks for everything you've done for me.

• 3216
• Julien
  ...But, it looks like your inventory is full.

• 3217
• Will you decrease your inventory so you can accept "Julien's Ring"?

• 3218
• How will you respond?

• 3219
• Decrease market items and accept

• 3220
• Don't accept

• 3221
• Julien
  Ha ha...
  Sorry for the trouble.

• 3222
• Julien
  Ha ha...
  I see.
  I suppose that's fine too.
  Well then, Player, until we meet again--

• 3223
• Voice
  ...Julien, wait!

• 3224
• Julien
  ...Vittoria.

• 3225
• Julien
  Okay then, Player, until we meet again--

• 3226
• Julien
  I want you to have this, as thanks for everything you've done for me.

• 3227
• Vittoria
  Where are you going now...?

• 3228
• Julien
  ...To the Indies.
  I have things there that I need to take care of.

• 3229
• Your inventory is too full.
  Get rid of some things you don't need, then talk to me again.

• 3230
• Vittoria
  ...
  Alvise wants you to come home to Venice.
  That he wants you to help rebuild it, as part of the Orseolo family...

• 3231
• Julien
  ...Ha ha.
  Sadly, I can't do that.
  If his connection to me is uncovered, I would cause him a lot of trouble.
  After all, I convinced the Decemviri to kill Mr Gradenigo, and I am the one who unleashed the rumours about the true events of Jaffa...

• 3232
• Vittoria
  ...
  ...So, that was you after all...
  The one who arranged it for Alvise to be able to come back to the Decemviri...

• 3233
• Julien
  Ha ha...
  Things just happened to work out that way.
  Player had already been named as the Queen Mother's special messenger; I just took advantage of that.
  As a result, the Doge eliminated Gradenigo, the people found out the truth, and asked for Alvise to come back.
  ...All a miracle God has provided for us.
  Isn't that enough?

• 3234
• Vittoria
  ...Why, Julien?
  Why do you insist on pushing us away...

• 3235
• Julien
  ...
  I may simply have wanted to try living in a way that would not shame my Orseolo blood.
  A way that involves working to bring happiness to others, without seeking to profit themselves...
  A pure way, blessed by God himself...
  So to do that, I'm heading for the Indies.

• 3236
• What question do you want to ask?

• 3237
• What do you plan to do over there?

• 3238
• Don't ask anything

• 3239
• Vittoria
  To do what?

• 3240
• Julien
  ...Right now France is in the middle of religious turmoil.
  Thanks to the battles between the Catholics and the Protestants, many people will wish to cross over to the Indies to come to New Haven.
  I want to watch over them to make sure that they are not taken advantage of by someone with evil ambitions, like Augustine.
  I believe that is my duty--

• 3241
• Vittoria
  Julien...

• 3242
• Julien
  ...Well, it looks like preparations are complete.

• 3243
• Julien
  Au revoir, mes chers ami, et ma soeur.
  Player, Vittoria, let us meet again someday--
  Someday when we can laugh at our bloodline's destiny and talk about it openly.
  Someday, when we have both accomplished our greatest dreams--

• 24252
• Player returned to Marseilles and delivered the Doge's letter to the Queen Mother.
  However, the Queen Mother stated that the explanation given by the Doge was a lie to save himself.
  Amazed at the corruption of the Venice government, the Queen Mother summoned the head of the army, who was eager to invade Venice immediately.
  However, the Queen Mother said, ^When those who run a country are more concerned for their own welfare than that of their country, that country will destroy itself even if left to its own devices.^ The Queen Mother gave Player a reward for serving as her messenger, and then ordered that the army move in order to deal with some suspicious activity from the Protestants in Paris.
  Within her heart, she felt compassion for Alvise, who would have to go on while being surrounded by corruption.

• 24253
• Shortly afterwards, they were back at the port in Marseilles.
  Having split up at Venice, Julien was surrounded by young ladies.
  Julien was preparing to go off on a long journey, so the ladies had come to see him off.
  Saying that he had some preparations to take care of, Julien headed over to the pier.
  There, he recognised the sight of Player.

• 24254
• Julien said he was going to leave this land for a short time.
  After thanking Player for all of the help, he said good bye and boarded a small boat.
  Just then, a voice called out to stop him.
  The voice belonged to Vittoria.

• 24255
• Vittoria asked Julien where he was going, to which he replied, ^to the Indies^, as he had some things he had to take care of.
  Vittoria conveyed Alvise's message that as part of the Orseolo family, he wanted Julien to come back and help rebuild Venice.
  However, Julien declined since if the relationship between him and Alvise were to be known, then it would cause Alvise problems.
  This was because he had convinced the Doge to assassinate Gradenigo and because he was the one who had spread the rumours about the truth regarding Jaffa.
  Vittoria then asked why Julien had gone to such lengths to help the Orseolo family, despite the history between them.
  Julien said, ^I may simply have wanted to try living in a way that would not shame my Orseolo blood.
  A way that involves working to bring happiness to others, without seeking to profit themselves...
  A pure way, blessed by God himself...^ That is why he was headed to the Indies.
  Due to religious turmoil in France, many people were looking to move to the Indies in search of freedom.
  He wished to protect them so that they were not taken advantage of by people like Augustino.
  Julien said farewell to Player and Vittoria, and then set out across the deep blue sea.
  He told Vittoria that he hoped they could meet again one day, when they had both realized their dreams and could laugh about the destiny of their bloodline.
