Nun the Wiser is a memory in Assassin's Creed II.
Description
After the murderer is killed, Ezio Auditore and Antonio de Magianis make their way back to the bordello to prepare for the Carnevale and the assassination of Marco Barbarigo. After preparations are made, they all make their way to the Carnevale area.
Dialogue
Ezio returns after killing the murderer.
- Teodora: You have our gratitude, Ezio.
- Antonio: Why is it wherever you go, trouble follows?
- Ezio: Antonio, I trust you know why I'm here.
- Antonio: I imagine to rid Venice of Marco Barbarigo? But really, Ezio, we did this once already! And this new Templar Doge is a bigger culo (ass) than the last. Never mind that he never leaves the palazzo!
- Teodora: Yes, except...for tonight. Marco wouldn't dare miss Carnevale.
- Ezio: How do you know this?
- Teodora: In fact, he's throwing the biggest party of them all, but getting in won't be so simple. You'll need a golden mask for entry. And before you think of forging one, keep in mind, each mask is numbered. Fortunately for you, I have an idea. Let's see if we can't win you a mask.
Ezio, Antonio and Teodora leave the brothel and begin to walk to the Carnevale area.
- Teodora: What is it, my son? You want to ask me something?
- Ezio: I do. Forgive me, but why is it you wear a nun's habit if you aren't one?
- Teodora: (laughs) Well whoever said I wasn't? Indeed, I am married to the Lord.
- Ezio: And yet you are also a courtesan? You run a bordello.
- Teodora: So? I see no contradiction. How I choose to practice my faith; what I choose to do with my body, these are my choices to make. Like many young women I was drawn to the church, but grew disillusioned by the "believers" of this city. Men hold God only as an idea in their heads, not in the depths of their hearts and bodies. Men must know how to love in order to reach salvation. My girls and I provide that to our congregation. No church would agree with me, I realized, so I created my own. It may not be traditional, but men's hearts grow firmer in my care.
- Ezio: Among other things, I'm sure.
They reach the Carnevale area where games are being held. An announcer addresses the crowd.
- Announcer: Signore e Signori (Ladies and gentlemen), come one, come all! The Games of Carnevale are about to begin! Do you have the coraggio (courage) to compete for as grand a prize as this?
Dante Moro steps onstage holding up the Golden Mask.
- Announcer: This year, like every year, the Golden Mask will provide entry for one, e uno solo (and only one), to our most beloved Doge's personal ball! Who would not desire such an exceptional reward? Come! Compete! Whoever proves themselves champion in each of four games today, shall be the Doge's personal guest tonight!
- Teodora: You'd best get to it, Ezio!
Outcome
Ezio returns to the bordello and prepares for his attempt at Marco Barbarigo's life.
