Ok interesting. The thing about humans is that both is right. As shown by the lady humans can show love quickly one day and then betrayal the next.

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.

Charles-Henri bloomed, instead of wilting, when he was used by that whore. There's more confidence in him, he's more ready to act and he did not change his goal - the world where executioners are not needed anymore. A world in which pain is quick and dignified, instead of full of blood and suffering. It'd seem - not without reason - that he thinks this part of culture also shapes their society. This fixation on executions and on making them spectacles.

That's what he's aiming to change, one step at a time, using his own means, as Monsieur de Paris. If anything, him and Marie becoming rivals is a very welcome change from Marie just hating her brother for betraying her trust and being "like everyone else".
