Ezio's POV

"Ezio?" A young girl says. I turn around to see a young girl, with light brown hair, wearing a black and white dress, covered in blood.

"Why did you let me die? You promised me that you would take care of me." I start to feel goosebumps on my back. "You saved almost everyone in the group, but you couldn't save me..."

I slowly start to sink through the floor, which turned into a pool of blood. "You always break your promises. People you love will die. And the blame will be on you."

"NO!" I find myself in my bed. "Thank god, It's just a dream," I said to myself thankfully.

I see my door slam open seeing Cornelia, with a worried look on her face. "Ezio! What's wrong?!" She shouts worriedly. I just smile at her.

"I'm fine, Cornelia. There's no need to worry." She just crosses her arms.

"Same dream again, right?" She asks. I just sigh. "Get outta bed. You need to help us with the orphanage." She says, walking out of my room.


Oh yeah, forgot about that. Claudia decided to start an orphanage at the mansion, ever since I brought Cornelia and the others to Italy. I thought to myself.

I get out of bed to change into my pilgrimage robe. Or should I wear my roman robe? I'm just gonna wear my Giovanni robe. Brings back memories. Bad memories.

At the Orphanage

"There you are, brother. You were supposed to be here hours ago!" Claudia shouted. I narrow my eyes.

"I need to talk to you, Claudia. In private" She looks at me, then sighs. "Alright, alright. Let's talk at my office."

Claudia's Office

"What is it, brother? It better not involve Templars, I'm really busy." Claudia says.

"I'm going back to the Empire," I said finally.

Claudia's eyes widened, "Are you serious?" Claudia asks. I nodded. My sister stands up from her chair, "No, no, no, no, no, no, no. You are not going back there, I sent you there once and then you came back with the kids, telling me all of the crazy things happening there," she continues, "Ezio, please think about them." Claudia pleaded.

"My dear sister. I have to go back to her. Even if she's still with them or not. I need to come back for her. I made a promise." Claudia just crossed her arms.

"You made a lot of promises, but you always break them. What if she is still with the Imperial Army? What if she ended up like Tsu..."

"Claudia!" I shouted, causing her to freeze. "You gotta stop reminding me." Claudia couldn't reply.

"Brother... just be safe. Okay?" I couldn't help but smile at her. I gave her a hug, then I left the office.

One I left I saw Cornelia waiting patiently outside the office. She notices me and smiles. "You're leaving aren't you?" She began, looking up at me. "If you find her, tell her we said 'hi', and that we miss her. I smile at her, slowly shaking my head.

"No, you can't come with me," I said, knowing that she wants to go.

"B-but I want to see her too! I can take care of myself! Let me come too!" Cornelia demanded. She tries to convince me by making puppy eyes at me.

"That's not gonna work on me again." Cornelia starts sulking. "Cornelia. When I find her, and if she isn't working with the imperial army still. I'll send a letter to Claudia, telling her that you and the others are okay to come. I promise." I said, walking down the hall to the stairs, leaving Cornelia.

Night Raid's Hideout. Najenda's POV

I looked through my desk, finding some papers. "Hmm, looks like I forgot to give these to Ezio. Maybe when he comes back I'll talk to him." I said to myself. I heard a door creak open, I turn around to see Akame.

"Oh, hey, Akame, what do you need?" I ask her.

Akame starts scratching the back other head, "I have this strange feeling that someone is coming." She says. I raise an eyebrow.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"You had parents, right?" Akame asked.

"Yeah. What are you trying to say?"

"I have this weird feeling like I miss something."

"Is it Ezio?"

She stares at me, then looks down at the floor.

"Maybe. Before I joined the Revolution. He was leaving the country, he promised me he will come back soon. But it's been four years, and all this madness isn't even over yet." I light a cigar then started smoking it.

"Maybe he'll come today or tomorrow. Who knows, maybe you'll meet him during a mission." She looks back up at me.

"I hope so. He was like a father to me, unlike Gozuki, who just wanted me to impress him."

I smirk at her, "Maybe he'll be the key to reconcile you and your sister."

Akame starts smiling, it's been a while since she smiled. "Thank you for talking to me about this, Akame." Akame nods then leave the room. I look back at the papers I was still holding. I couldn't help but smile.

Maybe he can be a father to you.

Kyoroch, The Empire

"Great. This is how I want to be greeted." Ezio says to himself sarcastically, as four Imperial Officers aim their rifles at him. "Look, I don't want any trouble," Ezio says, as he reaches something in his robe pockets.

"Then what's with the weapons? Huh!?" One of the guards questioned. "Just in case I encounter any danger beasts." He said as an excuse. "I'm sorry, but it seems that..." Ezio stops as he takes out four throwing knives, "you've caused some trouble with an assassin."

Ezio immediately throws the knives at the heads of the four guards, before they could even pull the trigger. As the bodies of the officers fall to the ground. Ezio takes one of the horses they used and rode off.

I'm coming back for you guys. I'm not breaking my promise this time.
