Description

Ezio Auditore meets Yusuf along with other Assassins at the Hippodrome to plan to protect Prince Suleiman at the Topkapı Palace in the cultural exposition. Ezio and the other Assassins decide to beat up Minstrels to steal their clothing and sneak into the first courtyard. There, Ezio is able to use Eagle Sense to identify guests that wanted Suleiman killed.

Dialogue

Ezio meets up with Yusuf along with other Assassins.

• Yusuf: A pleasant surprise, Ezio. We should have trade stories if I am not dead by this time tomorrow.
• Ezio: Is there a chance of that?
• Yusuf: We learned that the Byzantines are planning to infiltrate Topkapı Palace now that Prince Suleiman has returned from his hajj (pilgrimage). If they do strike, it will be tonight at the cultural exposition the Prince has organized.
• Ezio: So what is our plan?
• Yusuf: Kardeshim (Brother), this is not your fight. No need to snare yourself into the Ottoman affairs.
• Ezio: The Byzantines found a key beneath Topkapı Palace, and I would like to know how.
• Yusuf: Ezio, we want to protect our Shehzade (Prince) not interrogate him.
• Ezio: Trust me, Yusuf. Just tell me where to go.
• Yusuf: Topkapı's main gate. We plan to dress as entertainers and walk right in.
• Ezio: I will find a disguise and meet you there.

Ezio along with other Assassin get where entertainers are.

• Ezio: Minstrels from Italia? I am going to enjoy this.

The Assassins disguise themselves as Minstrels.

• Yusuf: I look ridiculous. I feel ridiculous.
• Ezio: My blade is too conspicuous in this outfit. Are you armed?
• Yusuf: Mesele degil. (Not a problem.) You mark the targets and we will take them out.

Ezio picks up a lute.

• Yusuf: You know how to play that thing?
• Ezio: I learned a few chords when I was young.
• Yusuf: When were you ever young?

Ezio walks up to some guards protecting the courtyard at the entrance.

• Guard: This courtyard is closed to the public. Turn around and start walking.
• Ezio: Perdonate, buon signore. (Forgive me, kind sir.) We are this evening's entertainment.
• Guard: Any old gerzek (fool) can carry an instrument around. Get lost.

Ezio plays the lute.

• Guard: You sound like a dying cat.
  What is this?
  Berbatsin! (You are terrible!)
  What are you doing?
  Pekala! (All right!) Go in and bother the guest with that noise.

Ezio meets up with Yusuf after targeting and then killing the first two enemies.

• Ezio: This courtyard is clear.
• Yusuf: But I do not see Prince Suleiman. Follow me.

Ezio and Yusuf go to the next courtyard.

• Yusuf: Now this is a celebration. Suleiman. The Sultan's grandson, and governor of Kefe. And he's only seventeen.
• Ezio: We met on the ship. He told me he was a student. And who is that?
• Yusuf: His uncle , Shehzade (Prince) Ahmet. The Sultan's favored son. He is grooming himself for the Sultanate as we speak.
• Ahmet: Serefe! (To life!) Sagliginiza!(To health!)
• Yusuf: Come we have more Byzantines to find.

A guard sees a dead body.

• Guard: Suikastchi! Suikastchi! (Assassin! Assassin!) Clear the courtyard! Shehzade (Prince) Suleiman. Take cover! Follow them!
• Yusuf: Ezio!

Ezio kills the enemy with his broken lute.

• Suleiman: It is a relief to see you again mio bel menestrello. (my handsome minstrel.) Did I say that right?
• Ezio: Well enough. I hear you are a governor too. Is there anything you do not do?
• Suleiman: I do not talk to strangers. I am Suleiman.
• Ezio: Ezio Auditore...
• Guard: Shehzadem! (Prince!) Are you injured?
• Suleiman: Who is your captain, soldier?
• Guard: Tarik Barleti. He is away on an errand.
• Suleiman: Clear this body and send the guests home. Then summon Tarik to the Divan.
• Guard: Bashustane shehzadem. (Yes, my Prince.)

Outcome

Ezio is able to save Prince Suleiman l and also be invited to help him decide on something.

Songs Ezio Sang During the mission

"Fair Lucrezia could not sate,

Her appetite for lovers.

But I suspect she would be fine,

With two or three more brothers."

"Cesare, oh Cesare,

A man of great depravity,

Believed himself immortal

'till he had a date with gravity."

"I am a tactless misntrel,

I sing off-key for coins,

If you spot me in the streets,

Please kick me in the loins."

"Young Cesare, I heard him say,

could not be killed by man

So I tossed him in the air

to see where he would land."

"Oh, the beauties of Firenze

can melt a heart you see

Beware the girls of Roma,

lest fire you wish to pee."

"There was once a man named Duccio

A rat with lecher's taste

Whenever he would show himself

My fist would find his face."

"There was once a man named Duccio

A rat with lecher's taste

Whenever he would show himself

My fist would find his face"

"There was once a man named Duccio

A rat with lecher's taste

Whenever he would show himself

My fist would find his face"

"While travelling through Forli

I took her at her leisure

She said it's strictly business

Such business was my pleasure."

"Vieri, oh Veiri

Yes, he of Pazzi fame

Was just as mad as his old man

And ended just the same."

"Proud Romagna's iron lady

A rose of tempered steel

Could raise the ardour of a corpse

And teach a stone to feel."

"To judge a lady's character

Note well her company

If you wish to seem a sage

Come spend the night with me."

"No one understands my plight

The life of a musician

Singing for impatient men

A terminal condition."

"Before Rodrigo was the Pope

He was a man of vices

And once he 'came the holy see

He raised his vices prices."

"Venezia's firm Doge

A fierce and evil man

Was just a trifle red of face

When I upset his plan."

"I sing in Italiano

You understand no word

But, my Greek is non existant

And my Turkish is absurd."

"The things I do to save the world

Surprise me time to time

Like learning how to play the lute

And making these words rhyme."

"I can't believe I stand here

And sing, my time I waste,

Yet you who sit and smile at me

Sincerely have no taste."

Trivia

• To achieve full synchronization, Ezio must beat Yusuf to the Topkapı Palace.

• In game, Ezio is talking to Yusuf when asking about Ahmet but in the DNA picture, it insteads shows a blond man next to Yusuf.
