Description
Ezio Auditore saw his sister Claudia sitting all alone in the courtyard. After talking to her, Ezio learned that her boyfriend, Duccio, was cheating on her. Angered at the betrayal, Ezio sought Duccio out.
Dialogue
- Ezio: Ehi! Claudia. How are you?
- Claudia: Bene... (Okay...)
- Ezio: You shouldn't keep things from me.
- Claudia: It's Duccio.
- Ezio: What of him?
- Claudia: I think he's been... unfaithful.
- Ezio: Who told you this?
- Claudia: The other girls.
I thought they were my friends. - Ezio: Harpies! You're better off without them.
- Claudia: I loved him.
- Ezio: No, Claudia. You only thought you did.
- Claudia: (angry now, not crying) He should suffer for what he's done.
- Ezio: Wait here. I'll go have a word with him.
Ezio found Duccio near the Santa Maria del Fiore along with another woman.
- Woman: Oh, Duccio! It's beautiful!
- Duccio: Nothing but the best for you, amore mio (my love).
- Woman: But... what of Claudia? I thought you'd been promised to her?
- Duccio: Father said I could do much better than an Auditore. (Smacks her bottom)
- Woman: Birbante! (Naughty!) Come, let us walk a bit.
- Duccio: Walk? I had something else in mind... (Kisses her)
- Ezio interrupted them by shouting at Duccio.
- Ezio: Ehi, lurido porco! (Hey, dirty pig!)
- Duccio: Ezio, my friend!
- Ezio punched his lower jaw.
- Duccio: Ma che ti piglia!?! (What the hell!?!)
- Ezio: You insult my sister, parading around with this puttana. (Girl looks shocked)
- Duccio: Wh-what are you talking about?!
- Ezio: I saw the gift you gave her. Heard the things you said.
- Duccio: Maybe your sister shouldn't be so stingy with her virtù... (virtue...)
- Ezio: You broke her heart.
- Duccio: Ha! And now I'm going to break your face!
- Ezio and Duccio started a fist fight on the streets.
- Duccio: You Auditore all talk big, but when it comes time for action? Hah!
- Ezio: You'll regret ever opening your mouth!
- Duccio: I could have taught your sister a great many things!
She's lucky to have someone like me! - Ezio: Bastardo!
- Ultimately Duccio was no match for Ezio and surrendered.
- Duccio: Basta! Mi arrendo! (Stop! I yield!)
- Ezio: Stay away from my sister!
Outcome
- Ezio made sure that Duccio never spoke to his sister again.
- He was able to access Beat Up side missions.
Trivia
- No matter how much damage Ezio deals to Duccio (including killing him), he will get back up after Ezio yells "Stay away from my sister".
- Although they can be done in any order, according to the Official Assassin's Creed Guide-Book, Beat A Cheat, comes before Petruccio's Secret
