 Pow­ered by Max Ban­ner Ads 

Hi there and wel­come to part three of my review of Le Cheva­lier D’ Eon from Funi­ma­tion and Project IG.

Let’s get right to it shall we…

Episode Three

Sword of Indignation

This episode picks up from where the Mus­ke­teers are sur­rounded by the women who are being con­trolled by the Comte de Saint-Germain’s hench­man, Caron…who is seen with sev­eral ” Psalms ” in hand to con­trol the gar­goyle women…

Caron is finally revealed…and so is Lia De Beaumont…and there is con­fronta­tion between the two, as Lia/D’Eon slashes Caron’s fin­ger tips from his hand.

Caron is cap­tured for the moment, and the Mus­ke­teers have found out about the con­nec­tion between the spirit of Lia and her brother D’Eon.

D’Eon has to come to terms with being the ” Ves­sel ” to Lia’s soul

Caron, proves to be an unwill­ing pris­oner and in order for the mus­ke­teers to gain infor­ma­tion from him…Durand takes mea­sures into his own hands…through the use of his sword…slashing the ten­dons on Caron’s feet…a method that D’Eon finds dis­taste­ful at the very least.

In a clos­ing moment…while D’Eon pon­ders ” What would Lia have done ” as to the treat­ment and ques­tion­ing of Caron, Durand comes into the prisoner’s room, and cuts the ropes that binds Caron… ” what do you want ” he asks of Durand, ” you nobles are all alike…knives in your friends backs ”

Teil­lagory ques­tions Durand and his meth­ods in a short fight…they come to a draw..

Durand escapes to fight another day…but Teil­lagory com­mands Robin to fol­low Durand.

A maimed and bruised Caron is fol­lowed by D’Eon..” A knight must always aspire to be his best “..yes..is the response D’Eon gives to his Mas­ter, Teil­lagory, as they both track Caron as he tries to return to his master…

Robin con­fronts Durand on the docks of Paris…” And who is your mas­ter Duran? The Duc of Orleans or just your greedy self? Which is it? ”

“I work for France…Boy…it’s just my posi­tion is a lit­tle dif­fer­ent from yours I’m afraid…”

Duran leaves Robin on the docks, but not with­out hav­ing Robin give a mes­sage to D’Eon…” take what you need and meet me at the casket..yes..”

and Durand is gone.

Caron returns to his master…at the Duc D’ Orleon’s home where the Duc and the Comte de Saint-Germain have an unex­pected guest..Vorontsov!

The Comte de Saint-Germain some­how notices that they are being watched from outside…and he says a psalm and ignites the room they are all in…a room with many books in it..De’Eon finds a par­tic­u­lar tome..he and Teil­lagory escape the fire with the book.

Robin returns to the room where the Mus­ke­teers have been stay­ing in secret, telling the duo that this book has doc­u­ments that include infor­ma­tion about Paris and Russ­ian Fur Accounts, hav­ing this type of infor­ma­tion allows Vorontsov access to Paris’s upper crust and is his cover to con­tinue his oper­a­tions in Paris.

” Why would the Duc har­bor a spy ” Robin asks…” that will become clearer in due course ” is his answer from Teillagory.…and now some of the sto­ry­line in episode four.

Episode Four

Fol­lower of the Revolution

This episode opens with the beat­ing of Caron, to clear the sus­pi­cions of the Duc of Orleons…which unfor­tu­nately for Caron  has not happened!

The Comte de Saint-Germain writes a psalm of vengeance on the back of Caron…

Mean­while down in the cat­a­combs, where Lia’s cof­fin still lies, D’Eon, Teil­lagory, Durand and Robin are approached by the King and his aide Broglie.

Broglie, asks D’Eon about how he had come upon the hid­den doc­u­ments that were found in his home.

In the end D’Eon is asked to take up the task that his sis­ter Lia had also taken in ser­vice to the King.

D’Eon asks Durand what exactly Lia’s mis­sion in Rus­sia had been…he finds out that Lia was respon­si­ble for pre­vent­ing the death of the Empress Elizabeth.

And in the Court at Ver­sailles, the Madame Pom­padour, explains a songs lyrics and is sur­rep­ti­tiously put in her place by the Queen herself.

In a meet­ing in the Queens quar­ters, D’Eon tells the Queen that he can­not accept that this is indeed his sister’s spirit try­ing at cer­tain times to exact her vengeance using his body as her ” Ves­sel “, but the Queen tells D’Eon and the rest of those in the room with him that there are ” Cer­tain Truths ” which will become appar­ent if he does…

The mus­ke­teers gather later on and find Vorontsov is doing brisk busi­ness sell­ing furs and mak­ing small talk with the women of the court, and Robin asks if they can get Vorontsov somehow…they must wait until he is alone, not with a large crowd of people.

They form a plan…

Mean­while Anna is in the young prince’s room, and very reflec­tive about her fiance, D’Eon…and Auguste offers to help her with her prob­lem by talk­ing with D’Eon himself!

This brings a smile and a small chuckle to Anna’s face and she thanks the prince for bring­ing a smile to her.

In one of the tav­erns in town, a plot is being hatched in order to get more infor­ma­tion about Vorontsov, as Durand and Teil­lagory work from inside the tav­ern, and Robin and D’Eon watch the two from out­side in the shadows…Robin speaks with D’Eon about Lia and why she is doing what she is doing in her pur­suit of vengeance…” I always Knew it was her soul ”

” you sound so happy about it…her soul is so vio­lent and full of vengeance…and then there is this great sad­ness within her..despair…it’s an almost Right­eous Indig­na­tion ”

D’Eon explains that if this is his sister’s soul…he does not want to give her any rea­son to draw her sword..using his body in doing so.

And then Vorontsov finally comes out of the tav­ern, but he is not alone, as he is accom­pa­in­ined by three woman in tow…for his protection.

The mus­ket­ters make their move…and so does another from the rooftops…Caron is on the move again…

Caron comes upon D’Eon in one of the alleys and draws his sword, while start­ing to say a prayer to the lord god…

D’Eon also draws his sword, and as Caron’s prayer con­tin­ues, the mys­te­ri­ous let­ters that always appear in blood on D’Eon’s sword when­ever Lia is to appear..are appear­ing on D’Eon’s sword now…as D’Eon tries to pre­vent this from happening..

Mean­while, Teil­lagory and Durand come across the car­riage that Vorontsov and the women from the tav­ern had entered…only to find Vorontsov gone and the woman killed, and they have spe­cial charms around their necks…and they awaken and are gar­goyles them­selves now!

Meanwhile..the bat­tle between Caron and D’Eon comes to it’s ulti­mate conclusion..

And that ends part three of my review with part four com­ing some­time next week!
