Ezio Auditore travels to Ferrara, in search of clues to the whereabouts of Leonardo Da Vinci. Upon arriving at Belriguardo Palazzo, he makes his way towards Lucrezia Borgia, the new Duchess of Ferrara, to acquire information on the locations of the stolen Villa paintings and the secrets that they possess.
Ezio watches from a rooftop in a courtyard outside the palazzo, as Lucrezia Borgia returns from a horse ride.
Guard #1:Did you have an enjoyable ride, Duchessa (Duchess)?File:Theone1.pngLucrezia returns.
Lucrezia:Hardly. I raced across the grounds at breakneck speed for fear of a knife in my back.
Guard #1: I do not understand, Duchessa (Duchess)? Who is trying to kill you?
Lucrezia:My father kept them at bay. Kept me safe. Now they chase after me. They want my head.
Guard #1: But, Signora--
Lucrezia:The countryside was supposed to be serene. Death follows me, even here. Increase the patrols and warn me of any intruders. No one is allowed in the palazzo but my husband's private guard.
Lucrezia leaves and heads for the safety of the palazzo.
Guard #1: You heard the Duchessa (Duchess)! Sound the alarm if an intruder is spotted.
Guard #2: Poor Alfonso, his wife has gone mad.

Lucrezia: Come to kill me at last, Assassino (Assassin)?
Ezio: Buongiorno (Good day), Lucrezia. Or should I say Duchessa (Duchess).
Lucrezia: A borrowed title bestowed by my husband, ill-fitting and barely concealing the truth.
Ezio: You can keep your life. I am here for the art on your walls.
Lucrezia: Redecorating, are we?
Ezio: I count five Leonardo Da Vinci paintings you have stolen, and I want them returned.
Lucrezia: If only it were that easy. My birthplace, my family, have been taken from me. You think Ferrara loves me? I am a stranger, a castaway. An orphan. Your paintings are gone, Assassino (Assassin).
Ezio: I do not believe you.
Lucrezia: Frightening, is it not? To have lost so much.Perhaps we can comfort each other.
