7 - SilenceWorried when he didn’t see his daughter come home that stormy night, Renaud d’Herblay had gone to her fiancé’s manor to get her several hours later.
He had found her, covered in blood, clutching the body of her love. Tears streamed down her face, and she was covering his face in kisses as though she hoped thus to bring him back to life. He had had to tear her from the lifeless body of her fiancé.
In complete silence, she had followed the funeral procession that had buried the man she was supposed to have married just a few days from now. For days, she had cried silent tears as though her body needed to empty itself of all its tears. Then, her tears exhausted, she still refused to speak.
Every day, Renaud told his daughter about the investigation led by the captain of the musketeers into the assassination of his friend. Captain de Tréville had come to attend a marriage, but had instead arrived for the burial of his friend. He had come to swear to the bereaved fiancée that he would stop at nothing to find and punish the brigands who had stolen François from them, but his only reply had been eyes filled with intense pain.
