That's actually accurate. 16.10.1793 is Marie Antoinette's "expiration date".

What a sad sight. What has become of you, Charles-Henri Sanson? Was your sister right after all? Is your dream dead and buried? Or is it far from over and what you see in your sleep indicates that? Old Charles-Henri would indeed be sad, would indeed have cried, seeing what he's become now. It's...

Andre is back, the foundation of Marie-Antoinette's execution is here and Marie-Joseph looks really dashing now. And stronger than ever too. For a moment I thought she was purposefully luring those beggars just to torment them, as I'm sure little Marie could.

Exactly! And so meticulous, strategic. It was not a one-and-done thing - they were being prepped for years, working hard for somebody else's goal of selling them...

Aside from shitting in the garden, it was a very informative chapter. Marie-Antoinette is coming! And with a time skip as well, huh? Our Charles-Henri will be 30 now and Marie-Joseph 18. So much might've changed in their status in those 6 years since the party!

And that's called a W, Marie. She's not wrong by any means, neither of those 2 is. Only one of them is aiming to make a change though, as the other is content with finding her place in the system to deal pain and death. Ironically, little Louis is going to be another head Charle-Henri chops off.

My boi, Charles-Henri Sanson! Forcing the opposing side to reset the board and throw away some pieces with mere words. Very well done. It's not a victory yet and to be honest, it might just be that the palace starts seeing Charles-Henri as a valuable piece to use. They wouldn't be too far from...

Exactly! Otherwise, the case could've blown in his face and the face he had to save.

Splendid performance so far. Obviously, Charles-Henri's looks are helping his case, but I'm liking how it all loops back to Grisel's teaching. I do feel like this development was not fully planned from the start, but Sakamoto left himself an open door by mentioning Grisel's name at the start...

Astonishing chapter, really. So picturesque and powerful way of setting the pieces between Charles-Henri and Marie-Joseph. I don't get the confusion. Obviously neither the dance, nor the actual conversation happened, but it's a way to remind us where they stand and what they represent...

SILVE TONGUE IT IS! Might even level up to golden, if he actually pulls it off.

Of course, making a spectacle to protect one's dignity and then somebody else uses said spectacle to advance their agenda. I wonder though - bright blue is the symbol of nobility, so Charles-Henri should be aware of it. Is the donning it on purpose? Was it suggested to him in bad faith by...

It's starting! How are you going to handle it, if at all, Charles-Henri? Or maybe the host himself can intervene here?

Oh, palace politics, how infuriating it's going to be, even with 2 of our protagonists in the middle. Navigating between the parties and factions, discerning friend from a foe, from some lusty degenerate will be hard. Especially since Charles-Henri is not the best judge of character. It's...

I always forget, that the revolution is still nearly 30 years away, so everyone I know is pretty young at the moment. Louis XVI dreaming of heroic death is quite ironic though, I gotta say. Glad to see some things never seem to change - everybody still hates Charles-Henri's whole bloodline.

Less haunted, less reserved Charles-Henri really hits different. I liked how driven he was before, but then again, I don't want him to hate life forever. It's just sad that he and his family seem to be estranged now. And if he's about to meet actual royalty, maybe he can get closer to actually...

God damn it! I think he understood in the end. I hope he did, even if it was already too late. And the care he gave her all those times was NOT in vain. Marie treats Charles completely differently than any other person, especially from their family. It's sad to see them split like that. Charles...

YES, that's my girl! Marie-Joseph, learning to forsake anger, when it better serves her goals to be calm and collected. That's what we want! That's what Charles-Henri wants as well, so... reconciliation perhaps? And obviously, as we're all literate people, this delusion of love was only in de...

Where were you people, when we saw those vile beasts before? By now it's a common knowledge, how disgusting they are - all of them. They are beasts and this bastard is a delusional beast, a dreamer. Bell tolls for him, devil calls him, a meeting is due.

Quite manipulative, Marie. Very well, that's one of the most important skills she can have, surrounded by high and noble. And she understands Charles-Henri's points, even if she refuses to bend to somebody else's will. That's a nice thing to see. We need cold Marie-Joseph too, not just a...
