Status Updates From Twenty Years After (Trilogi...

RIP d’Artagnan t’aurai adoré Facebook.

Par contre j’avais des doutes dans le premier livre mais là Aramis body count à croire que tu rizz tout ce qui bouge.

And I thought a romance between the Comte de La Fère and Madame de Chevreuse was an invention of Khilkevich for the purposes of his film.... but Athos, do I see you *flirting* with her? Inviting her to stay with you....?

I was originally extremely sceptical of the typically romantic fan-theory that Aramis is the secret father of the son of Madame de Longueville... but d'Artagnan is undoubtedly seen to hint explicitly at just that here.
"M. de Longueville est de race royale. Son fils, Madame... doit en être, puisque le mari de sa mère en est" :P
In other words, the baby is *not* the son of "his mother's husband" :-p

Manipulation of Aramis: "Distrust Porthos and Athos, who may be moved by pity". Manipulation of Porthos: "Distrust Aramis, who is selfish, and Athos, who is too unselfish to appreciate that men like you and I may have legitimate desires". Manipulation of Athos: "Do this to save my life".

:-(

J’ai bien fais d’arrêter cette fraude de Marc Lévy pour ce livre.

Par contre faut avoir fait une L2 histoire pour comprendre toutes les intrigues politiques qui se sont déroulées sous vingts ans ouuuuu? ( ils m’ont sortis pleins de blazes de présidents et de préfets wow calm down j’étais pas née à cette époque là hein ).

"Ah! fit Mousqueton, qui était placé près de d'Artagnan" - we know what Grimaud did when his master was arrested, but where has Mousqueton been all this while?
He was last seen following Porthos and d'Artagnan on the way to Paris, and apparently wasn't arrested with them... now he suddenly reappears on the journey from Rueil!
