One weekmonth after Élise's death, a devastated Arno finds refuge in [[Saint-Denis, Seine-Saint-Denis|Franciade]]. He is contacted by the [[Marquis de Sade]], who requests his help in finding the manuscript of [[Nicolas de Condorcet]], hidden in the tomb beneath the city, in exchange for a ship to take Arno to [[Egypt Eyalet|Egypt]]. During his search, Arno encounters tomb raiders led by Captain Philippe Rose (Taylor Price), a subordinate of Napoleon, who wishes to retrieve an artifact—an Apple of Eden—from a Precursor temple under the city's church. Arno finds that the manuscript has been stolen by a child thief, Léon (Eamon Stocks), who was captured by the raiders. Arno rescues Léon and retrieves the manuscript, but declines to help him stop the raiders. After a vision of Élise and hearing Léon's pleas, however, he changes his mind.

After discovering the temple's ___location and retrieving the key from one of Napoleon's officers, Arno opens the door to the temple, but is ambushed by Rose, who has betrayed Napoleon and wishes to take the Apple for himself. Arno survives the ambush, kills Rose, and retrieves the Apple, using it to repel the remaining raiders and escape. He later meets de Sade and gives him the manuscript. Arno decides to stay in France, and contacts the Brotherhood to deliver the Apple to Egypt, far from the reach of Napoleon, who is arrested for desertion and treason.{{efn|Within series lore, Napoleon's later [[French campaign in Egypt and Syria|campaign in Egypt]] had the goal of retrieving the Apple of Eden, which allowed him to rise to power as First Consul and eventually [[Emperor of the French]].}}
