Unknown to the Templars, a group of Spanish Assassins were in the crowd. When soldiers found the Prince hidden in a house, Ramirez stood outside and declared that with the Prince's capture, Spain would finally be under one Templar rule. When Ramirez finished speaking, Aguilar de Nerha chose that moment to jump from the roof of the house in which the Prince had been hiding to assassinate, signaling to the Assassins to commence rescuing Ahmed.[1]
Ojeda jumped on a horse and began to follow María, who had hijacked the carriage that held the Prince. A group soldiers followed and attempted to retake the cart, but she fought them off and Ojeda continued his pursuit alone. Eventually, Aguilar caught up and Ojeda fought him.
