• I don't know when it started to rain, but the quiet night is giving us excellent cover.
• With d'Eon at the reins, the carriage rushes long the streets, and along the way, he updates us on what's been going on.
• d'Eon: So the King and Queen have secretly contacted other countries and wish to deal a foul blow to the people who long for freedom, and wrest power back from them...

• d'Eon: The revolutionaries have been spreading their influence, and I'm afraid that even a 3-year-old child would support killing the King now.

• You: I can't say they're wrong, but no one knows that we're only doing this because we fear for our lives.

• Louis XVI: I just hope that our decision won't get Blaisdell and the rest into trouble... d'Eon, how are they?

• d'Eon: It's a good thing that all their communication was done verbally, and no evidence was left behind. The people's rage has not found any new targets.

• d'Eon: Blaisdellb is suspected of aiding your escape, but he emphasized how upset he is over your actions, and has temporarily gained sympathy from the masses.

• d'Eon: He is a very shrewd hawk, and won't get shot down by mere arrows. Don't worry about him.

• Louis XVI: Yes, he has always been my most capable minister... If it weren't for him, I may already be in heaven.

• d'Eon: As for the Marquis de Lafayette, he has been fortunate, and yet unfortunate at the same time. The people trust him greatly, and he is forced to stand with them.

• You: How did that happen again? I thought they only wanted to kill us...

• You: Oh no... Do they want him to personally execute royal family members?

• d'Eon's morbid laughter does not need to be accompanied by words. We instantly understand the cruel truth.
• The knight who once swore his loyalty to the royal family...must now raise a sword against them!
• Louis XVI: He's always done his best for the royal family, and has always thought of the people... And now he's caught in between. I wish he'd be a bit more selfish and protect himself for once.

• Louis XVI: But I know him very well, and I'm afraid that he will secretly try to hatch a plan to save us...

• You: No...if that is the case, I think someone with such a strong sense of justice would constantly be tormented by his own conscience!

• You: d'Eon, please tell me... Did they ask you to rescue us today?

• You: No matter who it is... Blaisdell, the Marquis de Lafayette, Count Fersen... I don't want anyone to put themselves in danger for our sake.

• You: And d'Eon, you too... You are like a shadow, so I'm sure you know how to live on safely.

• d'Eon: ...

• d'Eon: Unfortunately, it's already too late.

• d'Eon: You should know, that unless you and the King die, or manage to escape, this bloodbath will simply continue in France.

• You: Yes...

• Louis XVI: d'Eon, tell me what all of you plan to do. I think you've probably talked to Blaisdell lately.

• d'Eon: Sorry to disappoint, but we've really not had the chance to talk at all.

• d'Eon: The Marquis de Lafayette has been pushed to lead the people, and his closest companions have betrayed you. Blaisdell has already refused to let him get involved any further.

• d'Eon: Count Marenzi is furious as well. He even looked for Marquis de Lafayette to reproach him.

• You: How did he respond?

• d'Eon: He didn't say anything. He just stood there and listened, and then he left. I don't know what he intends to do.

• d'Eon: But a stubborn person like him won't give up so easily.

• Louis XVI: I didn't expect things to come to this...

• The King heaves a sigh, then lowers his head in thought. He looks grave.
• I can't help sighing as well. So many things have happened in the span of just a few days.
• They used to work together for the sake of France, and now they are on completely different paths.
• You: What about Count Fersen? Those guards included some of his most trusted companions too. Blaisdell probably didn't go easy on him too...

• d'Eon: That's right. But he gave up pretty quickly.

• d'Eon: After trying a few times to regain trust but failing, he decided to rely on himself instead.

• d'Eon: No, more accurately speaking...he probably found someone else to trust.

• The wheels stop turning, and the door gently opens before I have a chance to ask d'Eon just who that person is.
• Fersen: d'Eon, thank you for keeping to your promise. I will never forget this.

• He gives d'Eon a grateful smile, and an exhausted Fersen turns to face us.
• You: Fersen?

• Fersen: My King and Queen, I apologize deeply for not getting you out sooner.

• Fersen: I have no companions with me this time. It's just d'Eon and me. I promise I won't let you get into danger.

• Fersen: Please wait until we get somewhere safe before I tell you about everything else... It's not far off. Let's make a move now!

• You: The whole world is looking for us. What place in Paris could possibly be safe?

• Fersen: The most dangerous place of all, is the safest place.

• Louis XVI: Are you talking about...

• Fersen: Versailles.

• Once we're back in Versailles, the King instantly asks Fersen for a talk in private.
• I can only wait for them to finish, and I pace restlessly in my room, full of anxiety.
• d'Eon: If you keep walking around like that, I'll get dizzy.

• You: Oh, I'm sorry! I'm just...

• d'Eon: The fireplace has been lit up, but it is still a little chilly. You should change into something warmer.

• d'Eon: We need you and the King both to be in good health to gain more support.

• You: You're right, thank you... I'll leave things here to you.

• d'Eon: Your Majesty, the King's discussion has ended sooner than I expected. I guess you don't need to keep on fretting.

• I follow his gaze and notice the King and Fersen entering the room.
• You: Your Majesty, have you thought if what we should do next?

• Louis XVI: Yes, my Queen. I think you'd like to know all about it.

• Louis XVI: Count Fersen has suggested that we follow our original plan, and proceed to Sweden to seek political asylum.

• Louis XVI: But we won't be aided by the Swedish forces this time. We'll only have Count Fersen... And it'll be more dangerous than we can imagine.

• You: ...

• I can't help looking at them both.
• They look...like nothing's out of the ordinary, and they're only talking about a daily hunt in the woods.
• You: (Are we really going to do that? What if something happens to them while they're trying to protect us...)

• You: (No, I know that if I get them to stay, they'll suffer even more.)

• Fersen: Your Majesty, I know that you're concerned about us, but please remember what I said to you on the balcony.

• Fersen: I do not fear death. I merely fear dying with regrets!

• d'Eon: That's right. Waiting would be torturous for us. I'm sure you already understand that, your Majesty.

• You: Say no more.

• You: I won't stop you.

• You: You'd only worry about us, and we would worry about you... As long as we're together, we can at least take care of one another.

Thank them

• You: I gues I don't need to say more... Anyway, thank you.

• Fersen: No, I should thank you and the King for letting us do what we want.

• Louis XVI: Leave the thanks till later.

• Louis XVI: We don't have much time left... We should start preparing right away.

• The King looks a little bitter, and he looks at me meaningfully, as though he wants me to hurry.
• You: Understood.

Apologize to them

• You: I guess I don't need to say more... Anyway, I'm sorry.

• You: There are so many things I need to apologize to you for.

• You: If we'd only been braver and wiser, you wouldn't have to suffer with us now.

• Fersen: I'd rather see you and the King happy, than get an apology.

• Fersen: Smile! Not just you, but d'Eon too...and me.

• We look at one another and smile. Smiling seems to give us courage, and I feel a lot less tense.

• You: But, your Majesty... What should we do about Marquis de Lafayette and Blaisdell?

• Louis XVI: I already have plans...

• The King takes out two sealed letters and gives them to d'Eon.
• Louis XVI: Only you can find them in secret. I'm counting on you.

• Louis XVI: Please tell them to abandon all plans and just focus on their welfare and the people.

• Louis XVI: From now on, only the commoner named Auguste exists... The one they call Louis XVI is dead.
