The Musketeers: Anne and Aramis’ Story

Have you ever felt it? Love. I mean real, true love. That need that leaves you incapable of existing without the other person. Okay, it's over. May it keep you safe. Always. You know you were giving her the stare. What stare? She's a very attractive woman. She's not a woman. She's the queen. He's so bad, but he does it so well. And when we've had our very last kiss, my last request is... Say you'll remember me, standing in a nice dress, staring at the sunset, babe. Red lips and rosy cheeks. Say you'll see me again, even if it's just in your wildest dreams. You are brave, and honorable, and kind. Any woman would be fortunate to be loved by you. I want to stay here, help you. Surely I'm safer with you than in the care of unarmed nuns. The queen is with child. I will watch over your son, and guard him with all my strength and heart. I will lay down my life for him. Sometimes I think I'm doomed always to want the things I cannot have. Don't ever do that again. But perhaps this time I was unwise. Foolish is the better word. You were talking to your queen, Hermes. I know. We promised each other. A queen is allowed to break her promise. Hermes. Hermes is dead. Your majesty. I thought you were dead. Once again you are my savior. You still wear it. Always. I wish his father could share these precious moments. I'm sure if he sent for the king. Not the king. Hermes. He dared to lay hands on you. The cross was advances to the queen of treason. What does that make yours? Love. Do you love her? I should have just walked away. I've never met a woman like her. Her courage. Her endurance. Her kindness. And she needed me. If you really love her. Then nothing ever happened. Won't you save yourself for my sake? I swear I will not allow anything to happen to you. Because of me. What happened here? A fleeting dream of the life I might have lived. You did know your son's governess was sleeping with your musketeer too. Still you love him. Get away from her. I did not tell you. The musketeers have returned to Paris. When I returned to Paris it felt like four years had passed in a moment. Now it feels like forever. Why are you here? Stop! She's an imposter. I swear it. She is. She's what? She's mine. Get away from her. I'd hoped that everything with Aramis was over. Forgotten. I mean, has it ever really been over? For you? He knows. Treville took him the very moment the king died. Who's with him? It was you. But you're watching over us. Always. We will protect you. Seems to me that the musketeer Aramis would be far better suited. I'm Aramis. Aramis, I'd like you to take Treville's place as First Minister.
