Expand for script.

  • Waiting always seems to take so long.
  • As Marenzi and party head towards Austria, the revolutionaries get louder day by day, and the situation grows more and more chaotic.
  • There are people giving rousing speeches everywhere, encouraging anti-royalty sentiments.
  • You: So spilling just a bit of blood has only given them a brief taste of victory, and they want to rebel in order to achieve true freedom...?
  • You: Are they trying to obtain power? Or trying to snatch it by force?
  • You: Or perhaps...they have already lost their minds, and they don't know the answer to that themselves.
  • We've already given our all, and now we can only pray earnestly to God... And pray that Marenzi will return from Austria soon with good news.


  • It's dawn, and I get changed with my servant's help, and prepare to meet the Marenzi party that has just returned.
  • Marenzi: Your Majesty, I am delighted to be able to meet you according to schedule. I have not failed you and Queen Theresa yet.
  • Several days of rushing about has aged him even further, but his eyes remain the same, and he's as alert as ever
  • You: Thank you,and I am glad to see that you have returned safe and sound.


Choosing Fersen in 2-16

  • You: Where is Fersen? He should be with you...
  • Marenzi: Time is precious. I've asked him to go report to the King while I report to you. You need not worry about his safety, your Majesty.
  • You: That's good. If anything had happened to you... I'd rather get executed on that balcony that day.
  • Marenzi shakes his head disapprovingly.
  • Marenzi: Running risks for your sake is nothing. If I could exchange these old bones for your life, it'd be more than worth it.
  • Marenzi: And I believe that he shares the same belief as I do... Your Majesty, please don't look so sad.
  • Marenzi: We only hope that Leopold II's decisions really will bring a more peaceful future to you and to France.
  • He takes out what looks like a well-kept rosary and holds it out to me.
  • You: (Isn't this...the rosary the Queen Theresa often carried with her?)
  • Marenzi: Queen Theresa left this to Leopold II upon her death, and he wishes you to have it.
  • Marenzi: Now that it has been given to you, it represents his promise to you. He has sworn an oath upon the Queen's name, and hopes that you will believe in him.
  • You: Believe in him? Believe in what he thinks of the plan, or the way he plans to implement change...? Has something happened
  • Marenzi looks hesitant. I think I'm right, and there's something going on...
  • You: Count Marenzi, I can take the shock. You can tell me what he intends to do.
  • Marenzi: There has been a sudden upheaval, and the revolutionaries are gaining a lot of influence, far more quickly than we anticipated.
  • Marenzi: Leopold II and Prussia have already reached a consensus, and have agreed not to send troops for the time being.
  • I subconsciously heave a sigh of relief. I'm glad there won't be a war for now, but I'm also worried about the future.
  • If this is what fate has in store for us, no matter how cruel it is, we must accept it.
  • You: I understand... Austrian and Prussian soldiers should not throw their lives away just because of France.
  • Marenzi: Do not despair, your Majesty. This is only a temporary measure.
  • You: Is my older brother unable to help us?
  • Marenzi: Leopold II intends to wait until the time is ripe when the losses will be minimal, and when both sides will be victorious.
  • Marenzi: He hopes that you and the King can leave France first, and meet up with Austrian troops at the border. They will escort you from there.
  • Marenzi: Leopold II hoped to move you into the country for protection, but the Count Fersen is strongly against it.
  • You: He is right. If I were French, I would oppose it too.
  • You: (Our military info is already in their hands. If they were to take the King and I as well, France will surely be ruined.)
  • Marenzi: Do not worry, Leopold II has already agreed to let his troops escort you to Sweden to seek political asylum.
  • Everything that Leopold II has done so far is basically for Austria's benefit... I am rather surprised that he accepted this proposal.
  • Even more surprising is that Sweden is willing to provide us with political asylum.
  • You: Sweden doesn't need to get involved in this plan... What did Count Fersen do?
  • Marenzi: I am not sure either. He objected to the idea of accepting Austria's protection, and instantly requested a private discussion with Leopold II.
  • Marenzi: He managed to make Leopold II change his mind, and even persuaded his homeland to provide political asylum. He is officially an even more outstanding diplomat than I ever was.
  • You: Sigh... I hope he hasn't done anything foolish.
  • Marenzi: He is still young, and hasn't reached the kind of grand old age when a life can be given up easily, not like me.
  • Marenzi: And I believe he won't do anything he will regret because he still wants to continue protecting you, your Majesty.
  • You: Not just him, but you too...
  • You: You are all kind people, and if anything bad were to happen to you...I would never forgive myself.


Choosing Lafayette in 2-16

  • You: Where is Lafayette? He should be with you...
  • Marenzi: Time is precious. I've asked him to go report to the King while I report to you. You need not worry about his safety, your Majesty.
  • You: That's good. If anything had happened to you... I'd rather get executed on that balcony that day.
  • Marenzi shakes his head disapprovingly.
  • Marenzi: Running risks for your sake is nothing. If I could exchange these old bones for your life, it'd be more than worth it.
  • Marenzi: And I believe that he shares the same belief as I do... Your Majesty, please don't look so sad.
  • Marenzi: We only hope that Leopold II's decisions really will bring a more peaceful future to you and to France.
  • He takes out what looks like a well-kept rosary and holds it out to me.
  • You: (Isn't this...the rosary the Queen Theresa often carried with her?)
  • Marenzi: Queen Theresa left this to Leopold II upon her death, and he wishes you to have it.

  • Marenzi: He hopes that you and the King can leave France first, and meet up with Austrian troops at the border. They will escort you from there.
  • Marenzi: Leopold II hoped to move you into the country for protection, but the Marquis de Lafayette is strongly against it.
  • You: He is right. If I were French, I would oppose it too.
  • You: (Our military info is already in their hands. If they were to take the King and I as well, France will surely be ruined.)
  • Marenzi: Do not worry, Leopold II has already agreed to let his troops escort you to America to seek political asylum.
  • Marenzi: Everything that Leopold II has done so far is basically for Austria's benefit... I am rather surprised that he accepted this proposal.
  • I am very grateful to Marenzi for persuading the emperor to change his original plan. It couldn't have been an easy task.
  • You: Count Marenzi, thank you for thinking of France... And thank you for all that you've done for me.
  • Marenzi: The one you should thank is the Maquis de Lafayette. This was his suggestion, and I merely offered my opinions.
  • Marenzi: He swore upon his reputation and his very life that he would personally contact the Continental Congress to request for political asylum.
  • Marenzi: If he weren't the hero of the American Revolutionary War, and if the King hadn't sent men to aid in that war, I think they wouldn't have agreed so readily.
  • You: I do hope that the Marquis de Lafayette hasn't sacrificed anything...and I hope you haven't either.
  • Marenzi: You are all good people, and if anything bad were to happen to you...I would never forgive myself.


  • Marenzi bows his head, and does not reply.
  • His shoulders start to tremble, and when he looks back up at me again, his eyes are damp.
  • Marenzi: Your Majesty...
  • Marenzi: Even though I've done so many things that amount to a betrayal, you are still so concerned about me. I am ashamed of myself!
  • Marenzi: You are always so kind, and I am sorry that the people of France can't recognize this fact about you.
  • He bends his frail, elderly body in a deep bow.
  • Marenzi: I do not ask for your forgiveness, Once I am done with my task, no matter how you punish me, I will have no complaints.
  • You: ...
  • His words remind me of the day I first found out that he and Blaisdell had been working together, and how furious I had been.
  • No one likes to be deceived, but when I think about how he's willing to be hated by me, and still risk his life to protect me, how could I possibly blame him?
  • You: Count Marenzi, I order you...to treasure your life. No matter what happens, you must not sacrifice your life for anyone.
  • Marenzi: Your Majesty, you...
  • You: Say yes! My mother might want you to protect me, but I believe that she wouldn't want to see anything horrible happen to you either.
  • Marenzi: ...I remember back when the Queen wanted me to escort you to France, she said something very similar to me too.
  • Marenzi: She told me that...
  • Marenzi: Marenzi, help me protect my little girl, and promise me, that you will keep yourself safe as well.
  • Marenzi: The Queen has always felt bad about marrying you off to France at the tender age of 14.
  • Marenzi: But she has to be a Queen first, and a mother second...so she kept reminding me to protect you in her place.
  • Marenzi: Even at the very last moment of her life, she was still thinking about you...
  • Marenzi does not continue. He gazes out the window, and seems to be struggling to contain some powerful emotions.
  • Looking at him, I know that even if I don't ask him to promise me, he won't throw his life away recklessly.
  • You: So the King and I leave France...and what about you two?
  • Marenzi: We must stay in Paris for a while longer to handle matters, and we won't be able to go with you.
  • Marenzi: The carriage and the guards have been arranged. They were personally selected by the Marquis de Lafayette and Count Fersen, and can be trusted. So don't worry about matters of safety.
  • Marenzi: Please keep the rosary with you. You'll need it to gain aid from the Austrian soldiers at the border.
  • Marenzi: Once you and the King have safely reached your destination, we will set off to meet you.
  • You: Thank you for everything... This arrangement should be good for you too. If we're discovered together, you would all be in danger.
  • You: So when are we leaving?
  • Marenzi: The people might riot at any moment, so before everything explodes, we have decided...to send you and the King tonight.



  • Under the cover of darkness, our carriage quietly leaves Tuileries, and we get ready to bid farewell to the land that has been our home.


  • I lift a corner of the curtain, and watch the streets of Paris go by, overwhelmed by a sea of emotions.
  • Louis XVI: Marie, don't look anymore... You'll only make yourself sad.
  • Louis XVI: As long as the people I care about can live on safely... That's all that matters.
  • Louis XVI: That is all...


Give an optimistic reply

  • You: As long as we arrive at our destination safely, everything will be fine... I'm sure of it.
  • Louis XVI: Yes...if you believe that, I will believe that too.


Give a pessimistic repy

  • You: Yes, as long as we can continue living. I don't ask for anything more...


  • When I let go of the curtain, the King finally stops looking out the window. We look at one another, but say nothing.
  • An unknown future awaits us in the night...
