Le Roi Est Mort was a virtual representation of one of Arno Dorian's genetic memories, relived by a Helix initiate through the Helix Navigator.
Description
Arno set out to assassinate le Roi des Thunes.
Dialogue
Arno observed a group of guards shoving beggars away.
- Guard: Piss off, you lot!
Arno entered the sewers.
- Guard 1: What's happened?
- Guard 2: The beggars! They're rioting all throughout the district. You men, with me!
Eventually, Arno reached the sanctum of le Roi des Thunes.
- La Touche: My lord! My lord! My lord! I've heard, uh, reliable reports that... That an Assassin is nearby, and that... you are his intended target.
- Arno: The worm has grown a spine... now he's a snake.
- Roi des Thunes: Damn it! It was only a matter of time, I knew that much. But this is far too soon.
- La Touche: (Yes), My Lord... the Assassins are ah... well connected.
- Roi des Thunes: But we have the advantage now, don't we? Muster the guard and lead the hunt for this Assassin. Bring me his head.
- La Touche: But my Lord! Half our men are out dealing with uprisings among the beggars! Y-You men, with me! Find him! Stay together, men!
Arno encountered La Touche in the sewer tunnels, after which the man fled from him.
- La Touche: He's through there!
- Arno: Embarrassing.
Arno started making his way towards le Roi des Thunes.
- Roi des Thunes: Beylier's last apprentice brought me the most wonderful gift. I dop hope you have something to compare.
- Arno: Diable...
- Roi des Thunes: Tricky tricky, Assassin. (I see you.)
Arno assassinated his target, initiating the flashback.
- Roi des Thunes: My subjects have eyes everywhere, my lord. I offer their knowledge to the service of the Order.
- De la Serre: What knowledge could a king of the gutters offer us? The intrigues of rats? You may go.
The flashback shifted to another moment.
- Roi des Thunes: "The intrigues of rats?" Pompous fool! If I could lay my hands on him...
- Sivert: My master would be pleased to arrange that. Brother.
The flashback shifted to De la Serre's assassination.
- Arno: You all right, (Mister)? Too much of the king's champagne?
- Roi des Thunes: Sivert, come away!
The flashback shifted yet again, showing a later moment.
- Sivert: It is done. De La Serre is dead... Grand Master.
- Germain: Good.
The flashback ended, and Arno escaped from the sewers.
- De Sade: Ah... You're just in time for the commencement of my reign.
- Arno: Your reign?
- De Sade: As long as there's a Cour des Miracles, we must have a (King of Beggars). Since there seemed to be a vacancy, I stepped in.
- Arno: With remarkable speed. The body is not yet cold.
- De Sade: I may have set things in motion a trifle early. Say, when you first arrived in la Cour des Miracles.
- Arno: You used me.
- De Sade: Your target is dead? We used one another.
- Arno: Quite a kingdom you've inherited.
- De Sade: It is, isn't it? So... Is justice served? Are the dead avenged, is your soul soothed, all that rot?
- Arno: Rot is a fine description. Every time I think I'm getting close to the truth, it seems another layer of filth presents itself.
- De Sade: Conspiracy! Intrigue! A rapidly-thickening plot! Add some bestiality and a lecherous priest and I'd say you have the beginnings of a beautiful novel.
- Arno: I'd settle for a solid lead.
- De Sade: So young. And yet so serious. Well, best of luck to you.
Arno walked away.
- De Sade: You have, I trust, looked into this?
- Arno: Where did you get that?
- De Sade: One of my newly loyal subjects brought it to me as a... token of esteem, as it were. It's a curious piece. I know of only one silversmith who works metal like this.
- Arno: A blade of this make killed (Mister) De La Serre. I can only assume you know this already. Why didn't you say?
- De Sade: Where would man be if he never had to ask questions? If everything he could ever want to know were simply handed to him? He might no longer think to ask questions.
- Arno: Or he might accomplish a great deal more, unburdened by ignorance.
- De Sade: Perhaps. The smith's name is François Thomas Germain. You'll find his shop near Les Halles.
- Arno: Thank you.
- De Sade: (Good luck!)
Outcome
Arno managed to assassinate le Roi des Thunes, and acquired a new lead.
