Touji Dynasty Chronicles

Act 13 - Fire of death

The morning weather at the Palace of Versailles was a signominata, blue skies adorned with white clouds and sunshine indicated that the day would be warm, and this was rare in the autumn season especially when it is the middle of autumn. The Palace of Versailles was not in a good mood as was the weather here. The shouts of the King of France who was shouting in the hall of mirrors were spreading, this hall was so large that the King's shouts could be echoed without any difficulty. Who was the ruler shouting at? Did this person deserve such treatment from the King? Is he the fool with a heart but no mind or the King who has a mind and not a heart? Has the king's heart been hurt by his suffering and is he using reason? Reason and heart cause grief towards people if one does not have both. The king's cries of anger were directed at his guardian... Capoleon, Capoleon said nothing, he had his head down all he did was listen.
- THE ONLY TASK I HAVE GIVEN YOU IS TO FIND MY SON. YOUR SEARCH GOES ON FOR WEEKS AND YOU HAVE NO LEADS AND NO INFORMATION? WHAT KIND OF A GUARD ARE YOU IF YOU CAN'T EVEN FOLLOW ORDERS TO YOUR KING? Just one piece of information and you could at least satisfy me for a while", the French king shouted, aware that he had lost control of his emotions, which he had been holding in for a long time.
- King...- Capoleon wanted to be heard by the Monarch, but the King stopped him.
- Enough of this! You lose your RANGE forever.-
The monarch said in a half shriek trying to calm himself down. Capoleon looked at him slightly frightened.
- Lourdes!- called out the King , and towards Capoleon's eyes appeared a woman who was also a guard, but of lesser rank than Capoleon. Momentarily Capoleon cast a glance at the King and heard him say the following words :
- Capoleon as you are losing your post.... I appoint Lourdes as my new guardian.- Lourdes and Capoleon were surprised, Lourdes after a moment smiled to herself from her pride.... after a few seconds she bowed low saying :
- It is an honour for me to take such a great function...Thank you.- When she finished speaking Touji I sternly looked at Capoleon.
- And you Capoleon... feel guilty for what you have lost.-.
- Guards! Get that idiot out of here! - Touji I called out and after a while the guard came.
- Wait!- Capoleon called out but after a while the guards grabbed him by the arms and Touji said to him :
- At this point you have nothing more to say.- Capoleon lowered his head down , the guards grabbed him firmly by the hands and led him to the exit of the palace. Touji I said to Lourdes :
- Make sure that Capoleon was dead in two days.- Capoleon heard what Touji said and Lourdes nodded saying :
- Good my lord.-
once they were at the exit the guards threw Capoleon down the stairs like some sort of sack.... Capoleon rolled down the stairs a few times and after a while he stood up hissing in pain. His uniform was dirty and his face was in the same condition.
The guards said to him :
- Get out!- After a while Capoleon looked at them with hostile eyes , the guards forgot to take away the weapons he had and the ammunition , after a while Capoleon turned around and left the palace walls with a semi-hurried step. Capoleon was on his way to Paris, he was going to meet Alexander and inform him of the situation that had happened.... despite the injuries he had received by the guards, he felt no serious pain. Two hours and a half had passed since Capoleon had started his journey to Paris, Capoleon finally saw the beginning of Paris and decided to speed up his steps... after a few minutes he finally arrived in the city.... Capoleon looked around the city , seeing the prevailing hunger here made him sad , the former royal guard sighed and started to walk through the streets trying to remember which place Alexander was talking about this one would be arriving.... after a few minutes of remembering, he finally remembered that Alexander was talking about the building number 29. After a while he reached this building, Capoleon was stressed for a while, but finally decided to knock and then ring the doorbell. Nervous, he started to stomp his foot but after a minute of waiting, Alexander opens the door and looks at Capoleon with a raised eyebrow.
- Capoleon? What has happened to you? Why are you here ?"- Alexander asked and after a moment an irritated Capoleon said.
- Let me in and I'll tell you.- Alexander nodded then let Capoleon inside. Capoleon looked around making sure no one was following him and after a moment he entered Alexander's flat.
- 'So what would you like to tell me,' Alexander said and crossed his arms, waiting for Capoleon's reply.
- Well, I lost my position as a Royal guard. The other guards threw me down the stairs and a person called "Lourdes" the position I had.- Capoleon sighed and Alexander raised his eyebrows.
- What news is this.... But I'm sure he didn't find out you were working for me. If he had found out he would have wanted you dead a long time ago.- Alexander added.
- Unfortunately... I heard that he wanted me to be dead in two days.-
- Well... in that case we can stop it.... you know... Kiana and Cam are due to arrive soon.... so no problem today.... what we all wanted, which is a revolution, will be carried out.-
- It sounds interesting... since there is a great famine here, probably the inhabitants will join us.-
- Well, if there's no problem with the inhabitants... the royal head will finally be beheaded. -
- Alexander... what will his son say about it? -
- His son has joined us, on top of that he's in Russia... he doesn't depend on it whether it happens or not, because he also wants to overthrow the king despite the fact that he is his father.-
- You're right , now let's just wait for Cam and Kiana to come..-
Alexander nodded and an hour of waiting and talking between Alexander and Capoleon finally Kiana and Cam.
- Hello Alexander! And... Capoleon!"- Cam said pleasantly, but after a while when she saw Capoleon she was surprised, because Capoleon should not be here.
- Alexander... do you know that Capoleon should not be here? This is not how we planned it.- Kiana said calmly but a little seriously.
- I know, but Capoleon has been demoted by Touji I... and he is facing imminent death in two days.-
- Ah... I see, so ... do we have another person to help?
- That's right.- Alexander nodded , and Cam excitedly said :
- Yay! Another person!-
The three revolutionaries looked seriously at Cam and then she asked.
- Well what? If a bigger group of people is all the better!-.
Alexander sighed and after a moment said.
- Well... since they are all there, we can finally put an end to the suffering of the inhabitants. For the sake of France.-
- For the sake of France. - After a moment, Kiana said.
After an hour, the four revolutionaries decided to reach the Paris market. They spread their views and converted starving villagers to be on their side, finally... they succeeded, the crowds stood on their side at last... Alexander decided to tell.
- Then let's go to the King! Let's cut it short and then we'll get what we've always wanted and what we deserve!-
The revolutionaries with a great crowd headed for the Palace of Versailles... some guards and soldiers tried to stop them but in vain... they lost their lives or were badly hurt... human anger is dangerous and especially the crowd that cannot be stopped. They were the body stabbing itself. After the passage of time, the Palace of Versailles was normal but... it had to happen... Lourdes quickly ran to the king, saying:
- King... I have bad news for Your Majesty... crowds of people... and revolutionaries... are coming here to assassinate Your Majesty..- Lourdes said quickly, looking at the frightened King after a moment saying..
- I have no choice but to leave the palace. Thank you for informing me.- Touji I nodded his head and after a moment called the guards to prepare the carriage which was supposed to remove the King from the palace.. and so it happened. The enraged crowd finally reached the palace, the enraged crowds easily defeated the guards at the exit and managed to enter the Palace of Versailles. Versailles Palace was ruined by crowds and revolutionaries. The revolutionaries and the locals were furious when they learned the King was not here... It was they who kindled the fire within themselves and decided to destroy the palace for their suffering which the king did not understand. How does it feel to see the death of your loved ones as sad? And the death of an unfamiliar man is nothing.
