Late at the same night, Bernard was able to prepare a secrete meeting for Oscar and the General. Oscar didn't expect a lot from that meeting, he was her father at the end, and she is the better person to know that he won't be happy to see her, not after the way she left him. It wasn't that she only understands him; she was almost like him by her stubbornness.
The General had preferred to spend his time prying on his knees on the cold stone floor of the church. He wasn't praying to save himself, he prayed for those who he had put his faith on, those who were and still his king and queen, and for his country that he loved more than his own life.
When she was there as it was arranged for, he was still praying as if no one was behind hem, it was like there were only him and god at that hall. After few minutes she was already given up, she was ready to leave until he called her.
''Why you are here?'' his tone was as cold as the floor that he was kneeling on.
''Every thing has being prepared for; you will be out of here by tomorrow night, at the same time as now'' her tone wasn't less cold.
''Who asked you to prepare for any thing?'' he was still on his knees, not even looking at her.
'' Some times it is hard for humans to ignore those who are blood bonded to them''.
'' Really? Let me ask you something, it seems that you know how to answer your father, sense when humans kill each other to live like beasts? Dose humans forget their vows for each other''?
''Who are we to decide what humanity is''? She was replaying on his on words.
'' Listen to me carefully Oscar, what ever your name or title is, if I had my sword at this moment, I wouldn't think twice before sending you to hell''! At his words, she didn't even bother to look back at him; anyway he wasn't looking at her. So she moved on heading to the exit door.
'' You are dogs! Do you hear me? You are nothing but a grope of filthy dogs''. Now he was looking at her, he stood up to say what he had already said shouting at her.
'' What do you think I am doing? Do you think that I wanted all this to happen? Is that's what you think that I have lift the side of my King and Queen for? No, this isn't what I was looking for, the only thing I wanted was freedom, and you can think that I am traitor, because God only knows what I have for them in my heart! But for you, there is nothing between us any longer''. She shouted him back; he was surprised by her reaction.
''You are shouting me back now, is that what Andrei had taught you? To shout at your own father? The one who god's knows what he did to raise you? And suddenly Andrei comes to erases every thing I've don''! He wasn't shouting this time, he was almost laughing while saying that.
'' Never, never Monsieur, you have never known me, you only knew what you wanted to know, you kept believing on what you hoped for only, and you turned your back to every thing else including the awful truth, I 'v never don anything for anyone! Not for you, not for Andrei, all I 'v don was for seek of truth, a truth that clear as the sun. And that is the fate I chose and I followed and will follow for the rest of my life!''. She finally looked at his eyes, her voice calmed as he calmed his own.
'' Do you know where your mother is?'' she didn't answer him; she couldn't figure what he was trying to say. '' You seem to be unaware of where she could be so let me tell you, when your dogs stormed the mansion, she was still on the sickbed, I was setting next to her, and when I heard them in the hallway I took my sword and told her to stay in the bed, but they were fast, fast dogs, they were already in the room, I tried to keep them away of her, I preferred to die rather then seeing her caught by their filthy hands, but I couldn't, she was shouting at them to not to touch me, and that's were her last words, she was so silent after that, I loosed my self from their grip and ran to her, she was died, I felt spin shuddering, I let the sword fall off my hand to kneel in front of her still worm body. She died carrying the shame of her daughter; she didn't give up for a moment on finding you before she got ill, and I was the one who told her to stop searching for you, I begged her to stop hurting her self after five months of searching for nothing''! He tried to keep him self as calmer as he could, it was obvious that he was burning from inside with hate and disgust.
'' I… '' She trembled by her words but he cut her off before she could say anything.
'' Get out of here!'' his order was clear but she was shocked by every thing, she even didn't realize what he had said.
'' I…I am sorry, I didn't…''. Her lips were shaking so badly, but again he cut her off ''Are you deaf? Haven't you heard me? I've already asked you to get lost of my face''! His voice was like thunder in her ears, she was no more able to bear it, and she just left the place living him breathing heavily with his eyes widened.
Now, she was outside, all alone with her own thought, what on the earth had happened a minute ago? Did she have just known that her mother was died? The poor woman was always at her side even if she didn't show it straight but she would feel her support for her. She wasn't able to cry on her mother's lap when she was little girl, she thought. Men don't cry! Only girls who cries, that was what her father told her once, but she was no man, nor going to be one, she was a girl for god seek! A little girl who needs to be next to her mother! But when she grew up, why didn't she try to spend more time with her? Hasn't she thought of this moment would come? Truthfully she did hasn't, and if she did she thought that at that time she would be setting next to her even stroking her hand by hers, but to leave her like that, it wasn't a thing she would thought of!
Oh God! Why you took her like this? It was so cruel for such a poor woman to die like this! Please lay your mercy on her soul, keep her near by you and forgive me and ask her to do so, I didn't mean to cause her all this suffering! Why I didn't thought of her? Was that because I was blinded by the light of the freedom so that I forgot the ones whom I love to be the reason of their measurability?
At her deep thinking, she remembered something, something very serious, how could she lose her sight at something as important? She was at the meeting with Robespierre early this night, why he didn't maintain it? Why he kept it from her? Andrei was right, he was keeping things from his men, only few who were able to get close enough to know what he is planning for. And this time it wasn't only about Franc or the people, it was about her. So she decided to give him a short visit before heading to her apartment, he wont be sleep any way even thought it is midnight, he must be expecting her visit after what he did.
It started to rain heavily all the way to Robespierre , She didn't mind to get wet, she only covered her self even more by her coat and start walking. Nothing would stop her now, not the rain of course. And she found her self forced to stop every ten minutes to catch her breath, she placed her hand over her belly and took a deep breath to continue, it wasn't that long any way. After half an hour, she was finally standing at the door where she knew he was hiding behind like a rat. She knocked twice before the door opens, and finds a huge man standing in front of her. She tried to enter but he was standing at the door like a wall.
'' He is not here'' he said as he was ordered, but she won't give up that fast!
'' Oh Jacques, he is expecting me, how it comes that he is not here?'' It was her turn now; she knew he was ordered to say that.
'' I don't know if I have to say it again Madam, but I will say it, Robespierre is not here, go back to your house'' he insists. It looks that he wasn't going to allow her to enter no matter what happen.
'' I know that your master have a lot of manners to let a woman, who walked all the way under this rain to meet him, stands at his door not letting her enter to warm her self''! She was making fun of him; she knew he won't let her go by that so easily.
'' Well… well Jacques , I am not going to let any woman to stand at my door at such time, let her enter''. He was smiling while saying that. The man at the door obeyed, he walked back few steeps to make her a way to enter ''But tell me my dear Madam, what kind of woman is this who walks all the way to here under the rain, at midnight all alone in such dangers time when even men are afraid to walk alone in the streets? What would bring her to do that''? She didn't answer him, she only stepped in throw the door to come by the fireplace. He looked at her, and focused his gaze on her belly.'' Go back to your home Oscar, your situation is not allowing you to do this now''. She pretended that she wasn't listening; instead she took a sword that was hanged on the wall in the top of the fireplace, and moved toward him. ''And what do you know about my situation''? She stood next to him; he was setting on a chair in front of the fair. '' You are as I know pregnant in your last months, as your body shows, a woman like you should be at her home by now''. That was enough for her, she pointed the sword to his through, but he didn't make a single move. ''Well let me tell you now about my situation, I am pregnant, and I don't like it, it makes me feel heavy, sick and unable to hold my sword anymore, but thanks to you you made me hold it now!''. He was scared to death, but still he didn't move. ''And what I have done to make you point my sword towards me''? She held him by his front shirt; the spirit of the commander was controlling her now. ''Listen to me carefully Maximilien Marie de Robespierre, my mother is died and I well not rest until I see your blood in my sword''! He got enough he called his bodyguards.'' That's it! Jacques, Gerard ''! He shouted calling them, and in seconds two men were behind her, one of them was holding a gun that she felt it on her back. ''I thought you were clever Oscar, clever enough to not make such stubbed action, escort her to the door gentlemen ''. She let the sword and gave it to one of the men standing behind her. '' I will never forgive you for what you have done, EVER! Did you hear it? And hide well, as a filthy rat, because I will be looking for you''. She shouted while the two men grasp her to the door, and by seconds she was thrown away in the street. As it was raining at that night, her tears were falling on her face like that heavy rain.
