Let's talk about your future.

My future is where you are, Madame.

Exactly not. Soon there will be a carriage leaving for Switzerland. You'll be going with it. Don't look like that! Two days ago you told me you'd be ready to make any voyage for me. I grant you this privilege. You will escape together with the Duke and the Duchess De Polignac. Gabrielle is too famous and unfairly criticized. Without the disguise she'd risk her life. She will disguise as a maid and you will put on her dress. In case the carriage gets stopped, I want her to get away.

In a way, Majesty, you ask me to be the bait.

A very ugly word from such pretty mouth!

Words are everything I have. I know how to use them.

Don't be so arrogant when I give you the chance to win my favour! Yesterday I confessed my love for Gabrielle to you. Because you deserve it. Has any queen ever shared such intimacy with their reader? … Take off your clothes! Take off your clothes! … Sidonie! Tell Gabrielle… that I will never forget her.
