Guest I: Good evening, Gonfaloniere.
Uberto: To you as well. I trust you’re enjoying yourselves?
Guest I: Indeed! A nice distraction from that nasty business with the Auditore family.
Uberto: And to think I once thought of Giovanni as a brother…
Guest I: Don’t blame yourself! How could you have known what evils he planned?
Guest II: I say we strike that traitor’s name from the record books. Let history forget he ever even existed.
Uberto: Hmmm. Yes, I should look into that.
If you’ll excuse me for a moment…
(I forgot that civilians take 6 years to walk from one place to another…)
Beatrice: Uberto! A moment of your time?
Uberto: Anything for you, Beatrice.
Beatrice: (Snort laughs) So! Tell us! How does it feel to be a hero?
Uberto: Please, I am no such thing. As Gonfaloniere it is my duty to ensure that the city of Firenze remains a shining beacon of justice. Corruption and its ilk shall find no purchase here so long as I am in control.
Beatrice: You are a treasure, Uberto! I hope Lorenzo recognizes that!
Uberto: Yes… our great leader, Lorenzo. I’ll see you ladies later.
(3 years later…)
Guest III: Ah, Uberto! There you are. I was just telling the other about the execution…
Guest IV: I mean no offense, but… what if they did not act alone?
Uberto: You can rest easy, friends. I am confident that this treachery began and ended with the Auditore family.
Guest V: What of the other son? Ezio, was it?
Uberto: The child poses no danger. Soft hands and an even softer head. He’ll be caught and executed before the week is out.
Guest III: Don’t let us keep you, Uberto. We just wanted to say hello.
(Yet they start bolting the moment Ezio starts speedwalking…)
Guest VI: Evening to you, Gonfaloniere.
Uberto: Is everything to your satisfaction?
Guest VI: Do you even need to ask? Of course!
Guest VII: Accept our thanks – for this evening – and for helping to keep Firenze safe. I always had my doubts about the Auditore.
Where did the family even come from? To gain such wealth and … and prestige in… in a single generation?
Guest VI: And the children – with their odd names. Always making trouble.
Guest VII: No surprise, given the company their father kept; whores and thieves, I swear it!
Uberto: Indeed. It is clear now he sought to undermine the city – to overturn all we’ve worked so hard to build.
Guest VII: But thanks to you, that’s over now.
