Part 4 Army from the East

*Christmas came and passed peacefully, and the much needed truce was upheld by both sides. Now, Christmas has ended, and the rebellion continues on.*

*In the night, many things have changed in St Romovna. The royal army has acted on all of King Frederik II's orders, and in his absence has gone under the command of someone new. All known royal sympathizers have been evacuated, leaving at least half of the city empty. All communications between St Romovna and the outside world have been severed, save for one: an emergency telegram line to Tsarskoe. The city has also been put under heavy blockade, no one may come in or out, and neither can supplies. How were all these things accomplished so quickly? Reinforcements from Eurova arrived in the early hours of the morning, entering the city silently, and now being kept as secret as possible. They are the Petrovna's last hope, and the rebels' greatest nightmare.*

### Trial of the King

**Alexandra** sits in the parlor staring out the window. **General Mendoza** asks **Alexandra** if cutting communication with the city is a good idea. She says of course it is and asks if it has been done and it has. She asks **Mendoza** to send a message through to **Tsarskoe** to tell him to send a message to every major city in **Karoleva,** that **St.Romnova** is under control of the **Royal Family,** and the **Petrovna's** have not fallen and nothing else.

**Lisbeth** sits in an old shop watching **Lilly** read books. She goes outside and looks into **The Slums** .

**Tommy** told all the orphans to get into the basement tunnels.

**Erik** is in the amphitheater that will served as a jury room for **Frederick's** trial.

**Lisbeth** goes and gets **Lilly** to go the the trial.

**Stands** next to **Frederick** waiting for the judge.

**Lisbeth** stood in the crowd waiting for the trial to begin.

**Tommy** goes to **Lilly** and **Lisbeth.**

**Lilly** smiles at **Tommy**

**Lisbeth** tells **Tommy** he needs to be careful.

**Juste** arrives at **St. Romanova** and parks his cart in an old asylum on the edge of the city with men inside preparing the carts contents. **Juste** walks along with riverback. He finds her cart he left yesterday and dumps it into the irrigation intake. He then went back to the asylum to get the other cart.

**Justin** stand on the palace side of the bridge waiting on the orders of **General Mendoza.**

**Tommy** sits down.

**Lisbeth** asks **Tommy** how he thinks the trial will turn out.

**Tommy** says trouble.

**Lilly** says it's freezing and says **Erik** is brave.

**Lisbeth** smiles at **Lilly's** comment.

**Tommy** tells **Lilly** he hopes she doesn't die.

**Lilly** tells **Tommy** she hopes he doesn't die.

**Tommy** tells **Lilly** to switch places with him.

**General Mendoza** sends **Alexandra's** telegram. He gives his troops orders to put on civilian clothes and join the mass gathered for **Frederik's** trial. Another group is sent to find **Nikolai.**

**Charlotte** opens the letter given to her by **Juste** saying that her father asked him to serve again. That Erik is a fanatic. Detailing that you can't break a man the way you break a dog or horse, etc. By the time she reads this letter he would have committed horrible crimes. The second letter is to his father and has returned her father's seal. Long long and rule well. (Quick summary of the letter i'm not writing the whole thing)

**Maria** sits near the fire reading *Les Miserables.* **Maria** sees **Charlotte** reading a letter and asks what *Merde* means.

**Charlotte** folds the letter back into the envelope and tells **Maria** it's an improper word.

**Lilly** looks at **Lisbeth** staring at **Frederick.**

**Maria** says that makes sense and walks over to **Charlotte** and asked what the letter says.

**Tommy** turns around.

**Lilly** pats **Lisbeth's** hand.

**Lisbeth** remembers being starving, arrested, and beaten.

**Tommy** offers his hand to **Lilly**

**Lilly** takes his hand and says she's very scared.

**Charlotte** says it's just about how he served **Frederick**

**Tommy** tells **Lilly** to stick with him.

**Maria** says they should do something fun like bake cookies or go ice skating.

**Juste** walks in the asylum and goes into the boiler room to the water main for **The Slums.** He walks back up to the street and to the cart that has one bag of coal dust and absinthe and goes to find a good spot.

**Lilly** tells **Tommy** she will.

**Tommy** asks if she wants a lollipop.

**Lilly** declines.

**Tommy** says he insists.

**Lilly** takes it and puts it in her pocket.

**Tommy** wants to ask **Lilly** a question.

**Tommy** asks what it is.

**Lisbeth** is sitting.

**Tommy** says her to be his girlfriend when they're older.

**Evani** stands at the back of **Frederick's** trial.

**Lilly** says yes.

**Lisbeth** turns around and sees someone she remembers

**Tommy** says all they have to do is wait.

**Lilly** is waiting.

**Charlotte** agrees and asks what they should do.

**Tommy** is waiting.

**Lisbeth** says they should try to find some hot chocolate after this.

**Lilly** says that would be nice.

**Tommy** is excited.

**Lisbeth** is waiting.

**Tommy** says he will come with **Lisbeth** to get chocolate.

**Lilly** says of course he is.

**Lisbeth** notices the man leave.

**Tommy** does nothing of note.

**Justin** sits in the **King's trial** is a ragged coat and sees **Lisbeth.**

**Patrick** watches **Lisbeth**

**Erik** starts the trial.

**Tommy** watches.

**Evani** watches.

**Lisbeth** watches.

**Lilly** wactches

**Erik** says the crowd if **Frederick** should be exiled or executed.

**Tommy** shouts democracy.

**Maria** tells **Charlotte** they should bake cookies.

**Charlotte** agrees and goes into the kitchen.

**Maria** goes into the kitchen and gather's ingredients with the help of a cook.

**Patrick** watches

**Charlotte** pulls out flour and chocolate.

**Erik** asks if the jury has reached a verdict and the crowd shouts death and holds a gun to **Fredrick's** head.

(Even Marie Antoinette's trial was long than that)

**Lilly** covers her eyes

**Lisbeth** watches

**Patrick** watches

**Erik** pulls the trigger, killing **Frederick** and shouts "The King is dead, long live a new Karoleva)

**Lisbeth** is satisifed.

**Juste** hears the gunshot. He plants a pole with a purple cloth with a note nailed to it for **Erik.** He kills the horse (NOO!) and lights three fuses which sends three canister cannon rounds packed with white phosphorous sailing into the theatre. He walks away into an alley.

**Lisbeth** coughs from the smoke and calls for **Lilly**

**Erik** flees the theatre with **Bear** and hands bear a few cannisters and tells **Bear** to complete the project.

**Lisbeth** goes to **Tommy** and **Lilly**

**Bear** rushes into the streets and to a well in the upper class district and dumps the cannisters into it and the same with other wells in the area and into a water tower.

(Did a water tower exist in 1905? Also, if it's for St.Romanova as a whole, he just poisoned everyone including his own followers. Also, all the wealthy people have left so..)

**Erik** fins the pole and takes the note and reads it.

**Lisbeth** falls to the floor coughing, passes out, but is dragged out.

**Matt** is dumping poison.

### The Burning of St.Romnova

**Alexandra** is told by **General Mendoza** that **Frederick** has been shot. She sobs. **Alexandra** is made regent since **Nikolai** is too young. **Alexandra** asks **Mendoza** if **Nikolai** was saved and he says the rescue group is on their way back. Then she says she wants **St.Romanova** burned.

(I fucking **LOVE** Alix)

**Maria** measures flour into the bowl and spills it on herself and the floor.

(God I loved it when they were sweet babies. I miss when Maria and Char would do things like this)

**Erik** notices people go into the escape tunnels with clean food and water, ammo and weapons. **Erik** burns **The Shack** to signal suicide bombers and follows the people into the tunnels.

(Though most people should be dead from this)

A suicide bomber and drops a match into a barrel of white phosphorous blowing up himself and an a royal army captain.

**Charlotte** says they will clean up the flour later. She puts the cookies in the oven.

**Patrick** drags **Lisbeth** into the streets, throws her over his shoulder and goes into the escape tunnels.

**Alexandra** hugs **Nikolai** and tells **General Mendoza** to get them out of here and they leave on a yacht. A legion of soldiers is sent to help burn down **St.Romanova** with the only place left standing is **St.Therese's Cathedral.**

**Maria** helps **Charlotte** and she sweeps the floor and she throws some flour at **Charlotte**

**Charlotte** throws some flour at **Maria**

( I love this part is so sweet)

**Maria** throws more flour.

**Justin** follows the crowd.

**Patrick** follows people.

**Juste** watches the choas from a telescope. He returns to the asylum and gathers his men and they start burning the city and head back to the bridge to exit **The Slums.**

**Alexandra** and **Alexandra** boards a boat and leaves.

**Erik** reads the note from **Juste** and exits the tunnels on the other side of the city. He goes to the outskirts of the city to wait for **Juste** .

**Patrick** walks into an empty building and drops her on the ground.

**Charlotte** ducks and and tosses flour at **Maria**

**Tommy** and the orphans hold up in an empty mansion and leaves them.

**Lisbeth** wakes up and sees **Patrick** and he slaps her and she asks him why he's here.

**Tommy** calls for **Lilly**

**Lilly** calls **Tommy**

**Tommy** goes to **Lilly** and asks if she's okay.

**Patrick** tells **Lisbeth** he's there to get revenge.

**Lilly** says she lost **Lisbeth**

**Lisbeth** says she didn't ruin his life.

**Tommy** says they will find them

**Lilly** cries.

**Patrick** kicks **Lisbeth** in the stomach asks if she could **Lilly** and **Tommy** about **Henry.**

**Lisbeth** tells **Patrick** not to touch **Lilly** or **Tommy.** She says they don't. Saying Henry has been dead for years and she didn't kill him, he died of plague. She would never poison him. She tells **Patrick** to shoot him already.

**Tommy** comforts **Lilly**

**Lilly** picks up **Lisbeth's** cross necklace.

**Patrick** shoots her twice in the stomach.

(I think she would have died from that)

**Tommy** tells **Lilly** they should find **Lisbeth**

**Lilly** does nothing of note.

**Lisbeth** screams in pain.

**Tommy** says they should look through town.

**Lilly** says she hopes they find her.

**Tommy** looks around and says he's getting chocolate after his.

**Lilly** says so is she.

**Tommy** asks if she likes chocolate.

**Justin** goes inside the church and sees **Lisbeth**

**Lisbeth** is dying.

**Lilly** says people that don't like chocolate are weird

**Justin** helps **Lisbeth**

**Tommy** agrees.

**Lisbeth**

**Alexandra** is on a boat and watches **St.Romanova** burn in the distance.

**Patrick** finds **Tommy** and **Lilly** and pulls out some poisoned lollipops and asks if they want them.

**Tommy** shoots **Patrick** in the dick and tells **Lilly** to run.

**Lilly** runs

**Patrick** chases after them.

**Maria** lets out a shocked scream and laughs then throws flour on top of **Charlotte's** hair. Then screams come get me Char before ducking behind a large curtains.

**Tommy** tries to shoot at **Patrick** again and screams for help.

**Anya** sees **Lilly** and **Tommy.** She pulls out her gun and aims it at **Patrick** and shoots him in the leg and foot.

**Patrick** falls to the ground but gets up.

**Anya** asks **Patrick** who he is.

**Patrick** says he's **Patrick Vaughn**.

**Charlotte** moves the curtain away and hits **Maria** again with flour.

**Anya** asks if he is a lunatic.

**Tommy** sees **Anya** and then **Lisbeth** and goes over to her and tells her about **Patrick.**

**Maria** throws another handful and ducks under **Charlotte's** and and into the parlor and says she will never defeat her. She jumps on one of the silk chairs.

**Patrick** says no and tells **Anya** she's the lunatic and asks if she is going to finish him.

**Lilly** asks if **Lisbeth** is going to die.

**Justin** removes **Lisbeth's** bullets and patches her up. He tells **Lilly** and **Tommy** to get inside quick.

**Tommy** tells **Lilly** time will tell.

**Charlotte** grabs a handful of flour and says she will.

**Justin** says **Lisbeth** is stable for the moment but needs a surgical kit.

**Lilly** sits in a corner and cries.

**Justin** asks **Lilly** to heat the tip of a blade for him.

**Anya** asks **Patrick** why he was chasing **Tommy** and **Lilly** down the street.

**Lilly** heats up the knife.

**Patrick** said he was trying to give them candy.

**Tommy** asks what he could do.

**Justin** asks **Lilly** to do it again.

**Lilly** does it again.

**Anya** laughs.

**Tommy** holds **Lisbeth's** shoulder's down

**Patrick** says **Lisbeth** is evil.

**Maria** dumps a bag of flour on **Charlotte** and runs down the hall. She finds **Grandma** crying violently. **Maria** asks what's wrong. **Aunt Ilsa** comes in and asks where **Charlotte** is.

**Anya** tells **Patrick** to stay.

**Patrick** rolls his eyes and gets up.

**Anya** lowers her gun and tells him that the world's burning down and doesn't have any better to do that chase after kids?

**Patrick** says he came looking for his sister and kill her. That she ruined his life.

**Charlotte** comes in and asks **Grandma** and **Aunt Ilsa** what's wrong.

**Anya** asks if his sister is **Lisbeth**

**Maria** and **Charlotte** are lead to the table. They say they got a telegram from **St.Romanva** and says their father is dead.

(\*cries violently\*)

**Maria** stands up and goes into the back garden and takes off into the snow.

**Charlotte** goes after **Maria** and asks what she was doing.

**Maria** says she thought God was on their side.

**Charlotte** says she doesn't know anymore. She tells **Maria** she needs to be strong and that **Erik Verraten** will pay.

**Juste** stands on a hill overlooking the main gates surrounded by his men and rides for his next target.

**Patrick** says yes.

**Lilly** covers her ears.

**Tommy** watches.

**Lilly** sits by **Tommy** and says they will be okay.

**Lisbeth** is being worked on.

**Tommy** doesn't believe it and stands up to go for a walk.

**Justin** finishes repairing and dresses the wound. He asks if anyone else is hurt.

**Lilly** says not yet.

**Tommy** asks if he can have some bandages and disinfectant.

**Lisbeth** hears **Tommy**

**Lisbeth** drinks the water.

**Justin** says she's awake and tells **Lilly** to talk to her.

**Lilly** asks **Lisbeth** how she's feeling.

**Lisbeth** says like shit and asks where **Tommy** is.

**Justin** looks into the city and waves over soldiers on horseback and asks if there is a place to take a wounded woman for care.

**Tommy** notices it starts to rain lightly.

**Lilly** says he is outside an the city is burning.

**Lisbeth** says they have to get out.

**Tommy** goes back to the church

**Anya** looks to the sky when it rains

**Maria** says he will pay even if he has to walk all the way to **St.Romovna** and rips his heart out herself.

**Alexandra** looks back to **St.Romovna** and boards the boat. She hears a child crying and tells a soldier to find her and bring to the ship.

**Patrick** says he should be going.

**Tommy** watches the city.

**Anya** watches the pouring rain. She fires above **Patrick's** head and tells him to stay away from **Tommy** and **Lilly.**

**Patrick** keeps walking.

**Lilly** asks what **Patrick** did to her.

**Tommy** shoots a crow.

**Anya** says he met her brother and asks **Justin** if he thinks we can move her.

**Charlotte** says they need to get inside.

**Lilly** says how it is out there and they can't move her much.

**Justin** says they need a surgeon.

**Tommy** says they can move her to the woods.

**Lilly** says they have to go.

**Anya** says they have to move her as the fire is spreading. They could make a stretcher out of the pews.

**Lisbeth** is still injured

**Maria** says the cold doesn't bother her. She walks into the palace and goes to her room.

**Tommy** says not to ask, do.

**Justin** says good and says **Lisbeth** will live if she is operated on within the hour.

**Anya** helps move **Lisbeth**

**Lisbeth** is lying down

**Charlotte** goes inside and follows **Maria**

**Justin** helps put **lisbeth** on the stretcher and tells **Tommy** to led the way.

**Lisbeth** screams

**Tommy** leds them.

**Anya** follows.

**Lisbeth** is lying down.

**Justin** follows

**Anya** follows.

**Lisbeth** is lying down.

### Rebels leave St.Romnova

**Tommy** reaches a clearing and tells the rebels its okay.

**Lilly** follows

**Lisbeth** screams.

**TOmmy** tells **Lisbeth** he will be all right.

**Justin** puts **Lisbeth** on a cot and tells people to find whiskey and anything close to opium, He pulls out a suture kit.

**Lisbeth** is lying down.

**Justin** operates on **Lisbeth**

**Charlotte** sits on the bed.

**Lisbeth** is lying down.

**Justin** stitches **Lisbeth** up and covers her with a blanket.

**Lisbeth** is lying down.

**Anya** says it's turning into a blizzard and asks how **Lisbeth** is doing.

**Lilly** hands **Justin** hot chocolate.

**Maria** says things are never going to go back to normal and asks **Charlotte** if things will ever go back to normal.

**Tommy** says they need to salavage all they can from the fires and head towards the caves. He says he will be back.

**Lisbeth** wakes up and looks around.

**Justin** holds **Lisbeth** down and asks her how she feels.

**Charlotte** says she doesn't know and almost cries. She says she doesn't think it will.

**Tommy** searches the city for supplies. Winter clothing, food, and wool blankets, and decides snow would be for water. He went to the rebel base and gave the goods.

(Drinking water from snow is dangerous unless you boil it or warm it. It will lower your body temp causes hypothermia)

**Lisbeth** says she feels like hell.

**Erik** wonders through the woods searching for his allies and makes it to the clearing.

**Tommy** comes back with more goods and find **Erik.**

**Erik** yells for **Tommy**  and hugs him.

**Tommy** said he almost died out there and ask **Erik** if he did too,

**Lilly** tells **Lisbeth** she is glad he's okay.

**Anya** sees **Erik** and she goes back into the tent and finds **Lisbeth** awake.

**Erik** said **Alexandra** set the city on fire. He asks **Tommy** if they resevered a a tent for him

**Lisbeth** laughs and asks **Anya** what's all the noise.

**Tommy** tells **Erik** no because he needs to act like everyone else. He says he can't waste water keeping clea and they need melted snow to drink and don't want smoke to signal their location

(Well, good luck getting **hypothermia** because you are drinking melted SNOW in a RUSSIAN winter without heating it.)

**Erik** says that tomorrow they are finding a river and bathing.

**Tommy** says he's not bathing in any icy river and lays a blanket on the tent's ground.

**Erik** asks if anyone else is in the tent and if anything happened during his absence.

**Maria** says she know's it wont to **Charlotte** and says they will make it through.

**Tommy** points to people in the corner and said he sent the kids from **The Orphanage** to a secret hideout. He found **Lilly** and **Patrick** looking for **Lisbeth. Lisbeth** is injured and **Justin** is helping her.

**Anya** said **Erik** survived.

**Lisbeth** grins.

**Erik** says he will have to visit **Lisbeth** in the morning. He asked who tried to posion him.

**Anya** asks **Lisbeth** if she's okay.

**Tommy** says he doesn't know or where he is or if **Anya** killed him or not. He says he hopes **Lilly** is safe.

**Lisbeth** says she's fine and kisses **Lilly's** cheek and says she feels like she liked an ashtray.

**Erik** lays down next to **Tommy** and says he hopes everyone is safe and says he fears for the country. **Alexandra** is insane, **Frederick** has been executed (By YOU), and there's a mysterious killer named **Juste** roaming the countryside.

**Charlotte** says they will make it through.

**Tommy** says he doesn't feat the country he fears for the people. Then he tries to sleep.

**Anya** says she once did that on a dare and says there's some whiskey

**Lisbeth** says to give it to her.

**Bear** rushes into the tent and tells **Lisbeth** she looks like shit and if she needs help.

**Erik** says he fears what will happen to the people of the country and some will hate him as a ruler. He is King of Karoleva and is sleeping in a dingy tent (No you are NOT). He says he need to spread the word to the rest of **Karoleva.**

**Anya** grabs a bottle as well and says she met **Lisbeth's** brother today. Then asks **Bear** where he's been

**Lisbeth** says she's okay and sips whiskey.

**Tommy** tells **Erik** that if he tells enough people then he will be King. He says they must rebuild but first survive the winter. He says that makes him the Prince. (NO)

**Alexandra** sits in the dining room of the ship with **General Mendoza** and his officers. She tells them to write an article in every major newspaper in the county and tells them to pin the fire on the rebels. Mention **Fredrick's** death but not too much detail. Then announce **Nikolai** as the new King by succession and divine will. Write it and send it immediately so it will be in the morning news.

**Bear** says he was poisoning the town's water supply, killing soldiers, and faking is own death.

**Erik** says it does and says he will build a new palace and rebuild St.Romovna and rename it **Frederiksburg.**

**Lisbeth** does nothing of note.

**Tommy** says he can't sleep. Then tells **Erik** to announce himself as King.

**Erik** tells **Tommy** to get a priest and the King's crown. They will crown him as King and sned a picture and send it to all the newspapers and take pictures of them rebuilding St.Romovna.

(even though Alexandra has control of all the newspapers)

**Patrick** is in a tent

**Tommy** yells for everyone to gather around

### The Coronation of Erik Verraten

**Anya** gives **Bear** whiskey.

**Bear** take the whiskey.

**Lisbeth** tells **Bear** he can kill **Patrick**

**Erik** says he will give it to the rebellion papers. Then he asks the crowd if there is a man of the clergy to crown him as King of Karoleva. A priest puts it on his head and a man takes a picture.

(How is he going to print said newspapers outside of a major city that has just been burned down)

(1) Frederick wouldn't be wearing a crown at that moment, they don't wear crowns 24/7, 2) He would be crowned with the traditional crown that is passed down in the crown jewels which is held in a different city)

**Nikolai** goes to the dining room and asks **Alexandra** if they are going to **Tsarskoe.**

**Tommy** says the old King is dead, Long live the King

**Lisbeth** says long live **King Erik**.

**Erik** says they will be marching back to **St.Romovna** and rebuilding it. They will provide aid to the poor and displaced middle class and rebuild.

**Bear** does nothing of note

**Lisbeth** is happy

**Maria** says she wants to help and should try to find **Alexandra** and **Nikolai**

**Alexandra** says they are not to **Nikolai** and tells him to choose between **Ekaterinburg or Belinksy. Ekaterinburg** is where the crown jewels are being housed in a secret location.

**Charlotte** agrees

**Nikolai** says **Ekaterinburg**

**Maria** puts on a simple wool dress and brushes her hair and says they will go to the telegram room and try to find **Nikolai** and **Alexandra.**

**Alexandra** says they haven't heard anything since the rebels let them go. Most likely **Tsarskoe** and says they are trying to reach **Aunt Ilsa** but no reply yet.

**Charlotte** gets dressed and asks **Maria** if she knows Morse Code.

**Nikolai** asks how long it will take to get there.

**Alexandra** says a few days, 3-4 at most.

**Maria** says she knows enough and asks where they should contact first.

**Charlotte** says they could try a city near St.Romanova.

**Nikolai** says he is going to try to get some rest.

### December 27th, 1905, St.Romovna, Tsarskoe, and Boat in the river.

( a new day, I tried to split it up but some characters were in the 26th and some in the 27th)

**Lisbeth** wakes up.

**Anya** walks into the tend and asked if **Lisbeth** slept well

**Lisbeth** says sort of and asks **Anya** how she slept.

**Justin** is half asleep

**Lisbeth** looks over at **Justin**

**Anya** says she slept well and gives a blanket to **Justin**

**Lisbeth** thanks **Anya.**

**Bear** wakes uo,

**Justin** wakes up and walks over to **Lisbeth** and asks how she was.

**Lisbeth** says she feels awful.

**Bear** sits next to **Lisbeth**

**Anya** hits **Bear** with a book and gives **Lisbeth** another one

**Justin** checks on **Lisbeth's** dressing.

**Alexandra** asks where they were with the guards and asks if the story made it to anymore and is told the newspaper only reach rich people. **Alexandra** declares that newspapers are free for the day and triple printed than usual. Then pass out supplies in all the countries slums, blankets, food, medicine.

**Lisbeth** thanks **Anya**

 **Anya** tells **Lisbeth** to be careful with it.

**Lisbeth** and says books are her babies

**Anya** says same and helps **Lisbeth** sit up.

**Juste** is outside **Tsarskoe** and starts to walk.

**Juste** is in a tavern room in **Tsarskoe.**

**Justin** sees one of his men, Thomas, and asked what he was doing here and Thomas says they escaped with his men and they all going into an empty tent.

**Lisbeth** goes to walk with **Lilly**

**Juste** goes to the **Katherin Palace** and asks to speak with **Grand Duchess Charlotte** and waits in the parlor.

**Maria** asks which one there's **Tamboc, Kolomna, Derbent, Elista.** Or that maybe they are in a summer estate of a courtier or Magdalene.

**Charlotte** says they should try **Ekaterinburg.**

**Maria** says that's genius

**Charlotte** smiles

**Maria** sends the message and tells **Charlotte** that they will take a while to get there.

**Charlote** asks what they should do now

**Maria** says they should tell **Aunt Ilsa and Grandma** they are fine.

**Charlotte** agrees and goes to the kitchen

**Maria** tries to comfort **Grandma**

**Charlotte** tries the same.

**Maria** keeps doing it until **Aunt Ilsa** comes in and says that they need to leave **Karoleva** immediately.

**Charlotte** asks where they are going to go.

**Aunt Ilsa** says **Cysria** in the morning. **Maria** says they can't leave and it's their home.

**Charlotte** says it's the best thing to do right now.

**Maria** is betrayed and said that **Frederick** said they can't leave **Karoleva. Aunt Ilsa** says that **Charlotte** is old enough to decide herself. **Aunt Ilsa** tells **Maria** they are leaving at dawn.

**Charlotte** tells **Maria** it's the best thing to do. She says she's going.

**Maria** says she's not and grabs a cookie then goes upstairs into the telegram room.

**Charlotte** follows **Maria** and says it's not safe here.

**Maria** says it's never safe here.

**Charlotte** says she doesn't want to go either and she says they will come back and asks what she is sending

**Maria** says she is sending a message to **Belinsky** and asks about **Alexandra** and **Nikolai.**

**Charlotte** says she can talk to **Aunt Ilsa** about going to a city near **Ekaterinburg.**

**Maria** says she is trying to find **Alexandra** and **Nikolai** then asks if they would be on a ship.

**Charlotte** says they might have and it would be easier to not be caught. A butler tells her about **Juste** and leaves and asks **Juste** what's he is doing here.

**Tommy** does nothing of note.

**Maria** nods and sends messages to one of the ships and then follows **Charlotte** and hides behind the parlor door.

**Juste** says he's here because he thinks they could help each other.

**Charlotte** asks how,

**Juste** says the kingdom had an event it was unprepared for. He says to secure the people, he will need to die and confess his sings.

**Charlotte** asks what event (which was due to my dumbass self)

**Maria** listens

(Never mind event autocorrected from enemy)

**Juste** says **Erik Verreten.** He says he was able to weaken his numbers and asks what news she has heard from the capitol.

**Charlotte** says she understands and none other than the news of her father's death.

**Juste** says she was there when **The Slums** burned and he has killed many.

**Charlotte** says she knows and wants the rebellion to end and asks how **Juste** wants to help.

**Juste** says he will need an artist, newspaper writer, a guard, a notary, and the royal executioner and asks if she would like to speak somewhere more private,

**Charlotte** says she could get them and agrees.

**Maria** is listening.
