I went with Constance the next day to buy flowers for the castle. The sun was fairly mild as we walked around the market selecting the most beautiful flowers. "Do you think the queen would approve of these peach blossoms" Constance asked. "I know she would. Anne loves peach blossoms. Let's get some roses as well" I answered as we finished picking flowers and paid for them.
We were about to leave when a fight broke out between the musketeers and a stranger against forty of the cardinal's guards. "Constance, not a word to their majesties" I said, sitting my basket of flowers down and picking up the sword of a dead guard and joined in the fight. During the fight, I slaughtered a couple of guards and then dropped the sword before rejoining Constance as the stranger from the fight was trying to talk to her.
She finally got him to stop talking and we immediately walked away. When we got back to the castle, I could see and hear Jusac talking to the cardinal about the fight. Jusac saw me and I gave him a warning look before continuing on my way. I didn't know though that I had captured the attention of one of the musketeers.
Aramis' P.O.V
When the crowd had disbanded, we had D'Artagnan come with us as he was determined to be a musketeer. Porthos, Athos, and I were the last of the musketeers since Captain Treville had passed away. Despite everything, we still fought for justice though we hadn't been called upon in some time.
Once in our headquarters, Athos seemed to notice I was distracted and it's true I was. "Aramis, what's on your mind" he asked. "It's the extra fighter at today's brawl. Now only was it a woman but there was something about that skill level. It was actually better than Milady's. In fact, one move did look familiar. I wonder did Captain Treville have a daughter" I asked in reply.
"It's not a well known fact but yes, he did. I have reason to believe that he never told was because he didn't want to place her or his late wife in danger" Porthos answered. "Sadly, it didn't protect them long because there were rumors of affairs that led to the deaths of Captain Treville and his wife. Their daughter was taken in by the queen and made a servant" Athos added.
"Does the daughter have a name" I asked. "Yes, I believe he said his daughter's name is Trinity" Athos answered. Just then, there was a knock at the door and it was a messenger from the king. We had to appear before his majesty in the morning, likely to be chewed out about today's fight with his eminence's guards.
"Looks like we might find out if the mystery fighter could be Treville's daughter because we have a meeting in the morning; I think we had best retire" Athos announced. All of us retired to our rooms and once I had prepared for bed, I recited my nightly prayers and laid in my bed. I laid there awhile, trying to rest but it was in this time of night that I felt alone. I longed for a woman to spend my life with despite the warning that love can only bring heartbreak. Little did I know that I would receive an answer to this often unspoken prayer.
