#### Third Hachin Rebellion

In 273 NE Arise's husband and his brother began planning for another rebellion which they were sure would succeed, Arise took a big part in trying to stop her husband from going through with the rebellion and that they were sure to loose to the crown like the three times they had before. Her husband pushed his wife's advice to the side and began planning for the rebellion.

Arise stayed out of the planning ,much the opposite of Serge's wife, and spent her time with her children and with Oudinet's wife the Madame Marjoria de Chinon and the two formed a close bond in the few years before the rebellion.

in 275 NE the king died and his son King Stuar IV de Poullain took the throne and Huguelin thought there was no time better to rebel and remove the Poullain's from power than now. Arise stayed at The Palais de Lune with the rest of the ladies during the rebellion which was quickly squashed and the Hachin's retreated and arrived back at The Palais de Lune only two months later with the Royal Army behind them. The weakened Hachin forces couldn't keep the Royal Army out of the palace and they broke in and held the family captive inside for months.

#### Imprisonment

Arise and her children were kept locked in her chamber and were separated from her husband, the stress of her captivity caused Arise to give birth prematurely to her youngest child Jocelyne who died two days after birth. Two months later Arise and her children were taken from their chambers and were escorted to a carriage which took them to the capital where they and the rest of her married family were kept in the Palais de Renarde for the remainder of the year. At the end of the year Arise's children were taken from her, during which she was said to have physically fought the guards who were trying to take them away from her. Later that day she and her husband along with Serge and his wife Madame Aurélie de Tourzel were presented in front of the king and were each under the charges of high treason which the king had sentenced them all to death. Arise's husband swore that she had nothing to do with the planning of the rebellion and asked that she be spared from any punishment.

Arise was indeed spared but the reasons for are unknown, Oudinet claims that it was because the king thought her too pretty to kill but most people believe that the king spared her due to her husbands words and that she was a mother and he couldn't take a mother away from her children.

Arise was present at the executions of all those charged with high treason including her husband. Arise was then released and never returned to The Palais de Lune instead she was said to have gone back to her families seat of Château de Gozon with her children.
