- With the king taking to his bed as dying the queen asks Aramis to help broker a peace treaty with her brother, the Spanish king and he sets out to meet the ambassador but is captured by Grimaud. The court then receives an ultimatum - the return of Aramis in exchange for captured Spanish soldiers, a ploy engineered by Grimaud, Gaston and the Duke of Lorraine to discredit the queen as an appeaser. Facing popular acrimony the other musketeers have the prisoners released and set out for the rendezvous, along with D'Artagnan's cousin Espoir, whom he has saved from the gallows and acquits himself well in the gun-battle. Aramis is freed but Grimaud escapes to use the queen's sponsorship of a literacy scheme for the poor against her and Athos's new love Sylvie whilst an old enemy of the musketeers returns to the court.—don @ minifie-1
- Behind minister Treville's back, Aramis accepts to attempt concluding a peace treaty with the Spanish king on behalf of his sister, French queen Anne, now king Louis is on his death bed. In league with Gaston and the duke of Lorraine, Grimaud captures Aramis and demands for his exchange with Spanish officers condemned to hanging for cruelties on the battle field, as this would turns the starving Paris mob against the queen, who aspires the regency. Reluctantly obeying the queen, the other musketeers save the Spaniards from the gallows, and D'Artagnan's peasant cousin Espoir, who only stole bread after troops burnt down his farm. They free Aramis, who nearly escaped, but fail to capture Grimaud, who further discredits the queen and Marchaux has Sylvie publicly flogged for sponsoring viz. running a scheme devised by Constance to sponsor literacy among the poor, leading to Athos openly preventing royal justice.—KGF Vissers
