word has gotten out that someone with power and prestige was present during the storming of the bastille.
upon hearing there was an insider -- a member of the second estate -- helping coordinate the attack on the bastille, king louis xvi has requested that ALL members of french nobility take temporary residence in the palace of versailles.
you will be closely monitored during your stay at versailles. what you do and say may be taken note of. with that being said, hold your tongue and stay in the king’s favor. you are allowed to leave, but eyes will always be watching.
your carriage stops at the gate of versailles. a member of the garde de corps leads you inside. from there, a servant guides you to your private quarters. you barely have time to take in your surroundings before you notice an envelope on your bed. in this envelope there’s a slip of paper with your most guarded secret written on it -- a secret you can’t afford to let slip. you toss the slip along with the envelope into the fireplace and watch it burn.
who put it there and what else do they know ?
