He couldn't understand the political moves in Paris.
Because an unequal battle that they won, the king had forbidden the musketeers to unsheath their swords for three days. He was free from that punishment... he wasn't a musketeer, but his new friends were affected by the constant attacks and mockery from the Cardinal's guards.
He exited the headquarters and walked home, that was only a rented room at an inn.
A pair of eyes watched him go... After making sure that no one was near, she wispered a few words.
- You're right D'Artagnan... we are in danger.-
She looked for Athos to tell him an important decision. She found him sunken in a deep silence. She touched his arm to atract his attention.
- What's happening Larthis?-
" I will dissapear for three days"
The musketeer stood up quickly because of the surprise.
" The guards will surely are going to use the opportunity to take revenge... I'm the most vulnerable musketeer."
Athos nodded.
- I understand... you can't keep a combat hand to hand with several opponents... good bye.-
She turned and quickly got out from the headquarters. She had to find quickly a refuge... she was really vulnerable.
***
She was almost reaching a bridge... Three guards were following her.
- Why don't you stop? Are you too important to look at a few guards?-
Larthis quickened her step... she would reach home soon... and hide.
When she was at the middle of the bridge another group of guards closed her way. Larthis freezed and saw both sides of the bridge. The guards were getting nearer.
- Look who we have here.- the sarcastic tone made her nervous.- the must trusted man of Treville and the queen...-
She couldn't wait anymore. She climbed the side of the bridge and jumped over the guards... she didn't turned around to see them, instead she began to run to escape. She heard the guards chasing her.
They were six against her... unarmed...
