The Musketeer's Daughter by LedgerlGrl22
Chapter 3: Secrets Revealed
As three of the five "swordsmen" sat at a bar table, Athos and Emily sat at a separate one. "Where's Mother, Father?" "Emily, Sabine is dead. She was to be executed for murder, but she jumped off the cliff. She kept it from me all of these years when we were all a family. However she did help us to see the plan of the Cardinal, for the King's assassination. I'm sorry," Athos said, as he saw tears welling up in Emily's eyes. Emily grasped her father's uniform and they both hugged and cried together. While father and daughter were reunited in the inn, Cardinal Richelieu and General Rachefort were conspiring a plan. "General, if you fail me this time, I shall demote you to captain and cut out your eye like your brother." "Yes, your Eminence. What would you like me to do? That girl knows those four musketeers from your last plan, sir. They will ruin everything if she tells them, should I stop her?" "Yes Rachefort, but only when I tell you, I would like to lure in the others. How does she come to know the rebels?" "One of them is her father. I have heard him to be the former husband of a countess who was known as Milady DeWinter." "Ah, well. When you lure in the others with the girl, kill her and then see her father's reaction, he must pay. Do this when we once again plan to assassinate the King on his anniversary, which is on Saturday, only two days away. You will kill them, for if you do not, that girl and those musketeers will make me the laughing stock of France, or even worse, kill me! If they are righteous enough to spare my life, I will kill you myself. Have I made myself clear?" "Yes, your Eminence." Rachefort walked away and sharpened his blade harshly.
As Athos and the others slept, Emily left to warn the King, of the Cardinal and Rachefort's plans. He was heard to be in Corsica with Queen Anne on their early anniversary trip celebration. She left a note saying:
"Dear Father,
I'm sorry, please forgive me, but I must help you stop the Cardinal's plans. I have gone to find the King, if anything happens to me, I'll send you a warning. The Cardinal is planning to kill the King on Saturday at his celebration for his anniversary and his safe return. Please try to free musketeers from prison on the way back. I'll see you in Paris. I will always love you.
Love,
Emily
