The Prince's Banquet

The Prince's Banquet is a memory in Assassin's Creed: Revelations.

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. Ezio along with other Assassin get where entertainers are.
 * 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: 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. Ezio walks up to some guards protecting the courtyard at the entrance. Ezio plays the lute. What is this? ''Berbatsin! ''(You are terrible!) What are you doing? ''Pekala! (All right!) Go in and bother the guest with that noise.
 * Yusuf: You know how to play that thing?
 * Ezio: I learned a few chords when I was young.
 * Yusuf: When were you ever young?
 * 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. 
 * Guard: ''You sound like a dying cat.

Ezio meets up with Yusuf after targeting and then killing the first two enemies. Ezio and Yusuf go to the next courtyard. A guard sees a dead body. Ezio kills the enemy with his broken lute.
 * Ezio: This courtyard is clear.
 * Yusuf: But I do not see Prince Suleiman. Follow me.
 * 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.
 * Guard: Suikastchi! Suikastchi! (Assassin! Assassin!) Clear the courtyard! Shehzade (Prince) Suleiman. Take cover! Follow them!
 * Yusuf: Ezio!
 * 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."

Trivia

 * To achieve full synchronization, Ezio must beat Yusuf to the Topkapı Palace.
 * The songs Ezio sings while dressed as a minstrel are about his travels and about some of the events in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood (like Cesare Borgia's death)
 * 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.
