Ezio Auditore returned to [[Florence]] two years after his departure, in 1478, and met with [[Cristina Vespucci|Cristina]], only to be told that she had thought he would never return, and that she was already engaged.

After rescuing him, Ezio dangled the man over a bridge and demanded to know if he truly loved Cristina. Manfredo sincerely replied that he did, and if he died now, he would die still loving her. Thus Ezio made him promise to be a faithful husband to Cristina, and to stop gambling, otherwise he would hunt him down and kill him.
 
Ezio then returned to Cristina, telling her that he had made sure Manfredo would be a good husband to her. He then took one last, long kiss from Cristina before abruptly leaving, much to Cristina's confusion.

  • Cristina: But... Oh, Ezio... I... It's been two years!
  • Ezio: And I've thought of nothing but you.
  • Cristina: Oh, but, Ezio...
  • Ezio: What is it?
  • Cristina: I'm engaged to be married!
    My father kept asking me to choose... I thought I would never see you again!

Suddenly, a couple came by Cristina's house.

  • Woman: It's [[Manfredo Soderini|Manfredo]! He's going to kill him!
  • Cristina: What!?
  • Man: Un tale (Some guy) he lost money to! He's dragged him out to the end of the new bridge!
  • Ezio: Who the hell is Manfredo?
  • Cristina: My fiancé...

  • Manfredo: I'll pay you back, I swear!
  • Guard: It's too late for that now.
  • Manfredo: It wasn't my fault. I was going to have the money for you today... But a payment came in late!
  • Guard: I do not care about you troubles. Only my money.
  • Manfredo: But I can pay you!
  • Guard: Now?
  • Manfredo: Tomorrow!
  • Guard: You'll be dead tomorrow.
  • Manfredo: Wait. Please. I'm about to be married tomorrow.
  • Guard: You should've thought of that before you started gambling.

Ezio came to Manfredo's aid and defeated the guards.

  • Manfredo: Grazie, Messere! You don't know how close–

Ezio pushed Manfredo towards the edge of the bridge, grabbing onto his collar.

  • Manfredo: Whoa! Hey! Aspetta! (Wait!) What are you doing!?
  • Ezio: Do you love her?
  • Manfredo: What!?
  • Ezio: DO YOU LOVE HER? Cristina! The woman you're about to marry!
  • Manfredo: Yes, I do! I swear, I do. Kill me here and I will die still loving her.
  • Ezio: You are never going to gamble again.
  • Manfredo: Never, Messere.
  • Ezio: You will be a good husband to her. Or I will hunt you down and kill you myself.

Ezio threw Manfredo to a wall on the bridge, before he left him. As Cristina was looking for the two, Ezio grabbed her and kissed her intimately on the side of a building.

  • Ezio: He's fine. He'll make a good husband. I made sure of it.
  • Cristina: What– What!?

Ezio suddenly left, leaving Cristina confused.

Outcome

Ezio found out that Cristina was to be wed to Manfredo Soderini, and after ensuring that Manfredo would make a good husband, Ezio left Cristina to be with her fiancé.

Trivia

  • The image for the memory showed Ezio with his beard, though he did not grow one until after the Battle of Forlì.
  • Sometimes, the memory would randomly take away Ezio's sword. Interestingly enough, if Ezio took a medium weapon from a guard in battle and did not drop it, he would keep it for the remainder of the memory if he hadn't equipped one before.
