Chapter 1

"D'Artagnan!'"Louie called. "D'Artagnan, I need you! " D'Artagnan opened the door to the king's study. " Yes your Highness?" " There have riots in the city, tell me is there a law against shooting them?" Louie asked. " No, sire there is not." D'Artagnan answered with a hint of worry in his voice. " The next time there are rioters, shoot them." Now you may imagine Louie as an ugly man but he is actually quite dashing. His hair is a dirty blond color, it goes slightly past his shoulders, his eyes are a dark blue and look slightly malignant. His skin is fair like everyone else in the palace. " But your Highness isn't there another way?"

D'Artagnan said with worry. " I am a young King, but I am King."Louie said " Then be a good King." D'Artagnan said. "Annabelle!"' Louie called. louie waited for a minute or two then called again, " Annabelle, get in here, NOW! " Annabelle entered timidly. " Yes, your Majesty?" she said just above a whisper. Now Annabelle is a very beautiful girl, her eyes are a bright hazel except unlike the King her eyes were sweet and kind, her hair is dirty blonde like the King except her hair fell well past her shoulders. " Ah, Annabelle come in dear,come in." Louie said in a sweet yet malicious voice. Annabelle walked over to Louie and stood in front of him. Even though she was only a few inches shorter he bent down to her size and put his hand on her shoulder. " Annabelle, do you know why I called you here?" he asked. "No, no I do not." she replied in a small voice. " I called you here to inform you that a new law has been made. So it is your duty to put it up in the village is it not?" he said. " It is sire, uh may i ask what this new law is?"she said with slightly stronger voice. "You may, it is that if anyone starts or participates in a riot they will be shot by Musketeers." he said proudly. Annabelle looked at the King in horror and then she ran from the room. " You see Louie, it's a bad idea" D'Artagnan said with a nod. " She is just a woman of the court." Louie said with disgust. " But a wise if I may add" " D'Artagnan said with a laugh. It is becoming late, I am going to bed, goodnight D'Artagnan." Louie said promptly then left. "I worry about him." D'Artagnan though as he went to sleep that night. The next morning at breakfast, Louie told his mother ,Queen Anne, about his new law. " Louie darling, don't you think it might be a little cruel ?" she asked with a concerned look on her face. "Are you questioning my authority as King, mother?" he asked. "No of course not dear it's just, i don't understand why they must be killed." she said sadly." she said sadly. "It's my kingdom and I will decide how to run it." Louie snapped. "Yes, dear." Queen Anne said with a sigh. "I'm going on a walk in the village." Louie said dismissing himself. Meanwhile, in the small, yet elaborate home of Aramis, the King's Arch-Bishop, Aramis is busy looking through the prison records. He was looking for something of much importance, then he found it. It was the record of prisoner 6400000 or to him Phillipe, the King's twin brother!
