Chapter 55 Break up
The Auditorre family, who robbed the execution ground and killed the consul Uberto after obtaining the trial, could no longer remain in Florence. The charge of rebels was destined to be attached to them - but it was better than going to hell with this charge.
Giovanni, who knew very well, could only take his sons home to pack up some "important things" in various aspects, and then went out of the city with an indescribable mood to meet his family, and went to Montelligioni, managed by his younger brother "Mario Auditore" in the neighboring country. However, after only half of the journey, he had already joined Mario who brought people to help.
Of course, the "content" during the period is very rich. He was reunited after the disaster and cried bitterly. Giovanni's true injuries were revealed. Giovanni told his true identity and apologized to his family. His young son was sick on the road, Giovanni and Mario, the assassin, reunion of the long separation between two brothers, etc. Each scene is a true love of blood relatives for every member of the Audi Torre family, but for Leeds, an outsider... it may be a bit too much, but it seems like watching a tear-jerking TV series, and it becomes a whole body wrong as he watches.
Well, Leeds is just a big bastard who plays life. This touching thing is not suitable for him. Therefore, when Egio asked to return to Florence to ensure Cristina's safety, Leeds also said that he would follow Egio to protect his safety, just want to get out of this atmosphere that makes him, an outsider, unable to interfere...
——And a week passed like this.
"...Eggio, there was no movement today, right?" Leeds, who climbed up on someone else's windowsill in the middle of the night, spoke in a tone as if he was conclusion-like.
"Ah..." Egio, who was hiding in the shadow, also understood the origin of this tone, "As always..."
"Thanks to someone for his long-standing playboy behavior?" You know, even the Pazzi family who joined the Templars had a girl who had a relationship with Egio. It would probably be troublesome if all the girls he had dated were checked. In a sense, this actually protected his true love, Christina.
"Can't you say that they have some knight etiquette in treating women... No, if it were, it would be great." Thinking of his mother who didn't speak again until her father returned, Egio's mood continued to be suppressed.
"Hey, although you are a native of another world, it seems that you know much more than me..." If it were Egio more than ten days ago, he would definitely not admit that he knew something worse than human beings. The experiences these days made him grow up sadly, "Can you tell me why things turned out like this..."
"The answer is better for your dad, you know. I'm going to say that you have a 'not very recognized' or 'not interested'?" Compared to the Assassin and the Templar, Leeds is more interested in Parkour... Of course, if there is news about the Holy Artifact of Eden, Leeds will also aim out of curiosity.
"My father's point of view is too subjective. Instead, I want to hear the views of the neutrals..." After all, it is a family career, and Egio will not say anything, but now even if Leeds mocked the assassin organization in front of him, Egio cannot feel angry at all.
It is indeed a happier feeling than "fighting against the powerful Knights Templars to the end"... This does not represent the idea of "the future Egio", but "the present Egio" is not "the future Egio".
"Apart from what Uncle Giovanni said, there are only folk rumors I heard in wandering around these days." The wanted criminals in the city include Audi Torre's family. Leeds, a guy who has no household registration and has not even exposed his face on the same day, naturally could not get the wanted order. It doesn't matter how you walk on the street, "The essence of this is political struggle and organizational struggle. Do you have no objection to this?"
"[Assassin Organization] and [Templar Templar], [Patriotic] and [Treasury]..." Egio nodded.
"Correction first. In Rodrigue's opinion, this is not a 'traitor'," after all, they are not Florentine at all. The only ones who sell off the country are the consul Uberto and the Patch family, the former local forces of the vassals. "Others try to annex other countries and develop their own power. Do you think this can be said to be 'evil'?"
“………” Although it cannot be said ‘justice’.
"Then, you still seem to think that your lord, the one named 'Lorenzo', had left Florence with bad luck, otherwise you would not have suffered such sin. Leeds smiled, "But no matter how I look at it, I think he knew in advance that the Templars were going to attack you, and he temporarily avoided the edge in order to protect himself..."
"This is impossible?! They are planning to annex Florence!" Without the Assassin organization, how should he fight against the Templars?
"Maybe we still hope for a peaceful solution, such as giving up the right to Florence... The so-called politician is such a creature." Leeds thought it was reasonable, "By the way. Why did you not respond to the lord's possible 'no-save'?"
“…………It doesn’t matter anymore, we have all become rebels.”
"Okay, the political struggle ends here, and then it's an organizational struggle," Leeds shrugged. Anyway, he has no country, and no superiors of any kind. "I don't know the confrontation between the Assassin Organization and the Templars' history, but Giovanni just assassinated Rodrigue, and Rodrigue will kill your whole family in turn, right?"
"Uh..." As a victim, it's really hard to answer 'Yeah, no problem'!
"Don't say that it won't harm your family... Just look at what you've done in the past few days~"
"!" Initially, he used the advantage of weapons to defeat Uberto and Vieri Pazi for the time being, but look at what he did except "secretly protect Christina" after returning to Florence?
First, he sneaked into Uberto's house to find the innocence evidence document he handed him that night, and then copied dozens of copies of the evidence document scattered all over Florence, and ran to crowded places to shout the innocence and glory of the Auditorre family... quite naive behavior, but even so, that was what the "assassin" was doing.
The assassin smell in Egio's blood was too strong. Thinking of this, it was natural that Rodrigue planned to eradicate the roots.
"So I still think that I don't think there is anything to say about wherever you are killed. Resentment has been accumulated from history, and now it is simply a matter of ability."
"...Huh, when you say it, I feel enlightened and unaware of these things. What's going on?" Egio smiled bitterly, but he was probably still "suddenly enlightened". He no longer planned to hide in the shadow and silently stared at his former lover's room. "...Let's go, Florence can no longer keep me."
"Just wait for you, my parkour training has been stopped for more than ten days!"
———————————————————————————————
Some things even those with stronger abilities won't know about them.
For example, the former lover is a monkey-like man who likes to run around on the roof of other people's houses. In fact, she has secretly set up some mirrors and observation holes in the room to make it easier for her to see his arrival as soon as possible in the room, so as not to have conflicts with her father again, which has made her know about someone's existence from time to time in the past few days.
For example, when she is 'slept', a man who has said goodbye to her will come out of the shadow and look at her silently from afar... The chaos in the city these days explains the reason why he did this.
but,
it is a pity……
“…Goodbye, my favorite Aigio.”
