Robin reforges his crucifix into bullets with the intention to kill the king. Maximilien smiles at his determination. Back in the king's chambers, D'Eon demands an explanation for Lia's death. The king explains that it was to protect the king's secret, revealing that he is not the true successor to the throne. Louis XIV foresaw, with the help of the Psalm of the King, that his son would destroy the Royal Family. He switched the child with another and raised him as Louis XV, while his true son became Maximilien Robespierre. Louis also explains that the reason he tried to keep Maximilien and Lia apart was because they share the same father, making them half-siblings. Lia pledges herself to Louis' throne once more, but he asks her to kill him since the Psalms prevent him from taking his own life. Lia refuses, but Maximilien enters with Robin in tow, meaning to kill Louis anyway. Lia moves to protect him and is stalled by Lorenzia, but retaliates until Maximilien intervenes. With Lia apparently defeated, the Psalm of the King resonates and prevents Maximilien from killing D'Eon. The Count de Saint-Germain then crashes in through the window and, though everyone tries to stop him, defeats them. The count moves to attack Louis, but the king quickly reacts by stabbing him in the shoulder with the Psalm of the King in hand. The Count manages to grab the Psalm from Louis, but Robin shoots him in the head and Lia uses the brief opening to impale the Count and chant one final Psalm, reducing the Count to nothing. As she contemplates on what to do next, Broglie impales Maximilien with his sword, but is blinded by one of Maximiliens Psalms and falls to the floor. Maximilien asks Lia to meet him at "the place where it all began", and walks away. Lia leaves and meets Maximilien at the birthplace of the Psalms, where he finally succumbs to his wound and dies after giving his name and quest for revolution to Robin, destroying the site in the process. Robin notices that Durand's old pocketwatch starts running again, signaling tha France is ready to move on. He runs off with the Psalm of the King, renaming it the "Psalm of the Revolution". D'Eon returns to Lia's tomb and reads the last verse of the Psalm that she had hidden within herself and then sets fire to her body as it floats down the river, finally letting her soul rest in peace. He then lives as a woman and witnesses the fall of the French monarchy as well as Robin's death by the guillotine. He then lives with Charlotte, the former queen of England, recalling his past experiences and the loss of all his loved ones. |
