Re: Aeronwy's Royal/Medieval Congrats ~ Round The Third
La Reina
Count: Ezio Alessandro [Auditore] da Firenze (28)
Countess: Rosa Maddalena [de Magianis] da Firenze (d. at 26)
-S: Federico Antonio "Fede" (3)
-D: Maria Caterina (2)
-S: Leonardo Giovanni (d. at 1 mo)A while after the raids have been conducted and the guards have left, Rosa stepped forward to her husband with tears in her eyes. Lately, she has been convinced she was carrying another child, but when the guards pushed her and everyone else to the courtyard, she fell and felt great pain. It seems that something is not right with the baby she is carrying. Months later, a baby boy was born, and Rosa's suspicions was proved. The baby, Leonardo, was small and barely even cried when he was born. Being very weak from the beginning, Leonardo died after one month, much to his family's sorrows.Especially incensed was Ezio. Declaring that this had gone too far - that he had lost too much - he was resolved to find a better king and avenge his son's death. Rosa tried to convince him otherwise, but when Ezio refused to relent, she decided to support whatever actions he will take, as long as they be wise. Ezio promised her not to do anything rash, and she in return promised her support.A few months later, civil war broke in Angleterra. Both Ezio and Rosa were very worried about this, and decided to evacuate Villa Auditore for the time being and escape into safety. As they were running away, some archers from the king's side fired towards them, mistaking them for the rebels, and Rosa was struck. While Ezio managed to get Fede, Maria, and Rosa into safety, his wife murmured that she knows he won't be for long. Before nightfall, Rosa had expired from her injury, and Ezio is left forlorn, with two infant children to raise and a vengeance to exact.Ezio was devastated. Since he had moved to Angleterra four years ago, nothing has stabilised, and things have gotten more and more chaotic. He had lost the wife he loved, a newborn son, and a good lot of his possessions destroyed during the raids and civil war. Ezio wondered vaguely how he would keep Fede and Maria safe, realising that his children will never live the life children should. But he had to make a choice - and a choice he did make.Returning to the Villa Auditore as soon as it was safe, Ezio assigned a trusted maid to care for his children for the time being, and prepared himself for his revenge. Using the scholar's disguise to hide an arsenal of weapons he could find (especially grateful for the anonymity the hood ensured him), Ezio went off in search for those he believed led the rebels: Duke Elijah and Duchess Adina. Ezio made it clear that while he cared none for their plan of putting Nethanel on the throne, he will offer to be their assassin. The rebels agreed, glad to find someone willing to do the dirty work, while Ezio planned and waited for the day he could sink his blade into Henry's throat.
