Comprehendo vies glewos, nabahsit Chronalia, ye tod ker, lakin, jects sont serieus : Hensock is Alokad est in mortal danger.

Tod khabar dehsit un end iri gigleihsa : id ghi mohrt os Hensock iom Alokad esiet khissen ab vasyens Perennians ka un netayim leus. Ar quanti her kiem Hensock, is eet aundwoi oin im popularsten rjienbwutsen ios Rig ed nimen husurit-se de eys disparition.

Poskwo, bians swesters Bouchebet, is kieup sib uno mask pro trakhbals.

Bad, is Waktprince decis gwahe id herbehrgo quer Hensock hieb esen arresten. Tod herbehrg ios Pont-Marie lyohg rue du Figuier. Eet un angh dwoetage dom samt kiest ed kharen fassade. Id stet habiet eti kwohken baygh amat ad Aubpin sei id fat os Hensock iom Alokad ne habiet jinkdout inter ta murs. Pos dyeivs id dom unte un khvil, is Waktprince trohd ghom ed gwahsit in.

Is dahsit oin cu in avance ei creschmer qui ei uperdehsit id cleicho ios kamer. Dat ei etilkwit sem wakt pre id vesper, Aubpin decis gwahe bei daber qui hieb makhen id medaylon fallt ex id gep os Baron de la Gaillottire. Nassib-ye, so Mouillard eet uno maschouro grehver ed un passanto mox dik ei Waktprince eys adresse. Monsieur Mouillard hieb dukan in id bund ios ghehrd uns dom ios rue Vivienne.

So grehver irritit iom Waktprince med sien pauric wultu ed is hiestit-se ad linkwes id loco kay gwahe rue de Varenne.

Pos uno moment, strieke lambh iom ed is nierc.

Aubpin hieb swohpen deub, bet ei kwohk od is gohr. Ei kwohk, ar is ne wois kweter is eet druve-ye budt we is eet drehmend. Quodkwe bih to, is dyohrc un silhouette in sien kamer. Eet okwivid-ye tod uns wir qui obsokit eys roubes. Id eins ios Prince stahsit protiev id mur, ye prayghest, ed so motionskwit kay sizes id, bet is eet praedd os un sorte os paralysis. Eys corpos eet gwaur, eys muscles aunnerce ed is khiek srehte. Taiper, in quant fall, oin eet yakin : is ne swohp, quantum is vis eet ya real, bet is khiek reage. Is wir tun gwohm prosch Aubpin. Is vohs un rudh cappa ed eys lige eet perbohrct apter un kathalika rudh mask. Med id diutis siens noctluce, is Prince vis iom se clihnes uper iom. Quis es tu ? murmurit is, quod paurscs tu ?

Med un tanekeffort is mohn is khiek dadwe, Aubpin ghohd retrehve un certaino mobilitat. Weidwos, is nel-ye antwohrdskwit ei werd is rudhcappa wir hieb ei iskwt, is Prince punor volit hatta nices iom.

Is dieum an eys poisonen provoquit hallucinations, bet is zakung fauran ed rusch apter iom rudhcappa wir. Aubpin spruv sem difficultat kay trehce, bet is vighohd tiel id schkaf. Is ne tohrb maung wakto kay ghabe quo hieb wakyet : id meuble, glimen protiev id mur, kohl in fact un fussuma quod ghyahsit kyun drab. Is Prince penetrit ep sien roig do negnohn dubes ed arrivit do un vast kellar quer parieydh un kandel. Ter, un khiter surprise exspectit iom : is ghi rudhcappa wir facit iom, darnd in sien hand un pistol is trohp kye Aubpin. Way, is wiro strohl ka preter ed id glonce hihsit id thorax ios Prince. Ob gvol, so muk sien pistol ed is wir se pariet ad strehle ye un dwot ker. Bet ye tod moment, id kandel, quos flamme beluc muzlim-ye id kellar, sgwes. Is rudhcappa wiro preferit tun fuges anter quem duce un insure katu in temos. Aubpin ieur un dwer clacke ed stieups abgwahe. Inutil eet persehkwe eys duschman, is khakiet navaxe iom. Is ghi preferit oistighes tsay id drab tiel sien kamer quer is ghens id pelita; dind restigh is kay chehxe id kellar. Oin oint ios sok is Prince duxit eet tuntos kwitert : is wois taiper quosmed id weben quod hieb daughen kay nices Thibaud de Ponsac hieb ghohden ses oiskladen sub id crovat os kamer 4.

Is Prince trohc baygh naturelika kyid Chtelet isghi kohns urgent maune ausst-ye Commissar Du Rner de quo hieb wakyet. In druve, Aubpin ne hieb kafi swohpt ed is gairn-ye niercskwit pro oin au dwo meis hors. Pre is commissaros arrivit ad sien bureau, isghi Prince oistiejer alyo kamer, is oispehsit sakwner ye tod ker, bi un logerin ios place Dauphine. Ter, is recubh-se ed swohp unte dwo hors.

Maaf, bet tehrbo dehe un end ad nies tolk, tohm Du Rner, vos revidsiem ye tod posmiddien quar saat ant id herbehrg ios Pont-Marie. Vos vanscho un sell dien, Poti.

Inutil eet insiste, Aubpin habiet dact neid meis. Isghi likw id Chtelet ed roidyit kyid dom os Poti de Courtemare. So eet hemi ed prim gairn iom Prince. Aubpin sprohg iom preter de Baron de la Gaillottire. Kwohk od so muzlim-ye meis sualit.

Spehm bariem od Commissar Du Rner mutakehnssiet kun is vidsiet tod kellar ed quo id mathmount, declarit Aubpin. Ta quant armes sont aundwoi bestohmen ei keiwia ios Sehrgmask, ed baym an daughent pro meg kyehrsen projects. Id police sacsiet ia, kauihsit is Prince. Spehm... antwohrd Eloi de Courtemare med un enigmatic protiokwo. Quod kwehrskwte yu taiper ? Quod mi radhte yu ? Ma ne gwahiete yu id hem os Joudebeuf, pardon, os Poti de Joubeuf ? Kad Bastien Frontouillard, eys khadim, is wir qui hat prispohct id maurdh os Thibaud de Ponsac, ghehdsiet vos dahe oik util istikhabaras ?

Id radh kwohkit gohd ad Aubpin edghi is decis gwahe Auteuil quer wik Archibald Joudebeuf, saycto de Joubeuf . Woidend od is namdeht Archibald de Joubeuf attachit uno megil importance ibs exterior signes om opnos ed noblesse, importit ghi od is Prince duit elegant-ye pre faungmoene iom. Schowi is rik sien kamer ios place Dauphine kay vehse sien bell redingote, pre trehce kyid rue des Perchamps, in Auteuil, quer resis Poti de Joubeuf. Id itner quod duxit ei village Auteuil buit long, bet Aubpin ghohd kwehre aun se forrides ed is brug to kay admire ia architectural beauteits ios nagor ed os ids ihatta. Kun is bad arrivit ei rue des Perchamps, is Prince hieb neid difficultat pro trehve id residence os Poti de Joubeuf : unghi immense kmeht portal bohr id nam de Joubeuf inscript med golden buksteivs. Id portal ghyahsit do un allee quod duxit uni dom uns aunsam dusgust. Un double spiraldrab, samt drabzans ornen med marmor statues keipend figures ex id hellen mythologia, dahsit access kyun double glasdwer subkeihnd skenga moldures. Id dom hol-ye kwohkit kam un gigatesk boreck uperklas med pompeus decorations ed tod quant exhibition os opulence odit iom richihn saudagher. Aubpin trohd ghom ed stigh id drab. In id dakhel, is buit primt ab un khadim quei is mohld is vidskwit Poti de Joubeuf. Is hieb deciden reghende id rol os rusk aristocrat is hieb agen bi Grafin de Sainte-Mouffle edghi se presentit-se iter med id nam Prince Igor Ivanovich Perenniov.

Is khadim seddih iom Prince in uno smulk salono menxu is gwahsit warne Poti ed Aubpin vahsit ghehde brunges ta oik minutes khalwa kay ambhglanzes. Hol kam id reste ios dom, tod kyal eet empedisen med meubles ed objects qua compareer con mutu de dusgust. Un liachicscommode installen in un kantun ei lakin kwohk interessant.

Tod bibliotheque eet fals, eet tik bestohmt pro decoration ed sines credihes od Poti de Joubeuf eet un cultiven wir. Aubpin spehsit minst-ye trehve sem document kohlen apter ta fictice buks, makar is pieursk, is aunstohg neid. Ei etilikwit ne meis quem redehe quant in place. Kun is hieb enden, is ieur stieups gwehme prosch. Is khadim rik ed is Prince sess ghom tsay skehptend-ye od is vien iom. Poti de Joubeuf skehpt vos, mohld is khadim, ke Poti me sehkwskwt...

Aubpin stahsit ub ed apterghieng iom khadim qui duxit iom do id bund ios park, apter id dom. In un vast lawc, plur wirs ambikwohl med un enorm ballon protiedehn ei swol ab rezga. Okwivid-ye, un gondel bihsit pact ei aerostat. Un penkgimtiat wir dut samt lucro elegance gwohm perodh kyom Prince, weur-ye smeihnd-ye. De Joubeuf, Archibald, se presentit is, quei deulgo io, Swamen, id megst honor os ses it visiten impromptu do mieno modeste baytel ab semquom qui ne est alyo quem un Prince ?

Aubpin khiek sib stambhes oismihes : Poti de Joubeuf iey aundwoi tod zevzeck rabiabahsa un elegant weidos os wehkwe. Is wir tun clih kyeys redingote. Permitte ? iey is.

Ye id megil hayriene ios Prince, is oistrifih sien finghers id wehb kam kay prihes ids qualitat. Quod un godwehb ! kieusit is, weysmee, suagnaht leuds, sagvmos nos due, kwe ne, Swamen ? Yaghi, antwohrd Aubpin, se protiewaurgend-ye muschkilan-ye mae se forilaye. Also, yughi me vidskwat ? nabahsit is saudagher. Vies kleumen hat ghohden tiel Moskva, antwohrd is Prince samt sien rusk accent ed, safernd unte Paris, io ne kung bignohe un wir tem eminent quem vos. Tiel Moskva ? Ah la la ! Sei io ieum ! exclamit Poti de Joubeuf, okwivid-ye nravihn, ah, bet, Yallah, est ter baygh pior honor, quayque, weidwos, stahal hat neid grance, ed saygo to aun fudulluk, suacredeihte to !

Eti, som meg interesset ab aerostats, pretens Aubpin kay periflatter sien contolker. Ah, aerostats ! exclamit is dukandar, toghi est id future, Swamen ! Mehnte de id hol torgo quod sessiet ses kwohrn per id havavia. Sessient possible pehrne ed kaupe quantloc tienxia aun tehrbe andhe effrenat mars au hostile lands !

Quando lit de tolke de torg, is bulgher bihsit lyric. Bet eys conversation, kay sayge ver, plictissit iom Prince destull ed is preferit gwahe proscher eys ballon quod ei kwohk meis attentionswirtic. Habiete yu un khadim quos nam est Bastien Frontouillard ? sprohg Aubpin ye roubaydh. Ya, antwohrd Poti de Joubeuf lyt surpriden, est hatta oino mienen gohdsten slougen. Eys gages sont alt, bet is est loyal ed ne pnehst ant id opos. Poittiem io vide iom ?

Is wir gwahsit fauran perodh kyens. Is eet quargimtiat, hieb teug traits, uno nerto steulbnas, puk brovs ed okwi unios mawi blou. Kwohk ei Prince od vidend-ye iom, is hieb haben un surprise reaction, bet Aubpin ne siegv ses yakin de. Bastien, Swamen Prince Ferenniov tib tolcskwt, mohld Poti de Joubeuf. Ya. Swamen ? iey Bastien Frontouillard.

Archibald de Joubeuf, bevidend tact ye tod ker, stiup retro kay bo ghohdeer tolke in hol sakwnia ei khadim. Eem un prient os Thibaud de Ponsac, pretens is Prince, ed ho mathen yu hieb prispohcen eys senst instants... Ah, quod un bieda ! exclamit Bastien. Orm Poti ! Yu eete ter quan is assassin hat gvohnen iom ? Oh ya, way ! Eem ter ! Quando ho arrivet do id kyal, is infam eet dyehgwnd mien Poti. Eys lige eet masken, credeihm ? Ya, is vohs un sword mask, quo ne hat ei stabhen se kapihes yant posdini aghyern. Noroc-ye, is miser sessiet kyast kam is stahalt.

Weidwos, Bastien Frontouillard eet convicen od Hensock is Alokad eet kheptenn is assassin os eys prever poti. Inutil eet pites mutabeidtum iom, is ne credeihiet Aubpin. Hat Poti de Ponsac nohct fauran ? sprohg is Prince. Ya, quando me ho precipitet ep iom kay khalasse iom, eet pior sert. Ed is assassin ? Is hat mwaungsoun yant is me hat viden. Eet alyo dwer in id kyal, is hat gwaht unte id. Yallah, orm Poti, ielgs remehno de iom, khako mi stambhes plange.

Bastien Frontouillard spohcit ghom. Inkye eys okwi srur dakrus ed is tiers ia med id ubslahat siens levter hand. Lyt ed lyt, sleucts oiscuss iom : Aubpin neti kamyabiet trage quodkwe ex iom. Poitto io rikes mien orbat ? sprohg is med un voc intersect med forslungs. Ya, ya, gwahte tetro, antwohrd is Prince.

Vidend od ies hieb finihn, Poti de Joubeuf rikit kye Aubpin. So Bastien hat servet oin mienen prients mehrus nuper, declarit is ei saudagher, io viensch kem is mi tolkit de iom. Comprehendo... iey Poti de Joubeuf med un grave air. Swamen, nabahsit is pos oin instant silence, mi kwehrsiete yu id honor os prispehce cras id pleuk miens aerostat ? Ioswo emsiem place in id gondel. Uperpleucskwo Paris tem diu quem possible ed lande mliak-ye querlibt quando gnohsiem id direction ios wind. Vies presence mi esiet aunfin precieus. Leudsiem do id havan ab id Champ-de-Mars ye 8 saat aghyern. Ne gnohm an ghehdsiem gwahe tetro, antword is Prince, bet sei to mi est possible, suacredeihte io wansiem ses ter. Sessiem extreme-ye honoret de to, sigwrit Poti de Joubeuf. Tehrbo nun sranse, mohld Aubpin.

Tod visite bi Poti de Joubeuf ne hieb ei brighen meis. Manthiet is Prince meis prispehcend-ye posdini id pleuk ios aerostat ? Is likw Archibald de Joubeufs dom kay rikes Paris quer, is ne hieb myohrsen, is hieb mulakat ye 4 saat con Commissar Du Rner ant id herbehrg ios Pont-Marie. Entrim, is mejit in alyo herbehrg. Kun Aubpin arrivit ant id herbehrg ios Pont-Marie, Commissar Du Rner eet ja ter. Os chanabett aukat, is prim iom Prince aun maedwnia. Spehm pro vos ke yu ne me habte trehcihn po neid, urng is ka formule os sellgumt. Mae bayte, quo vos deicskwo preuft od id affaire ne est tem simple quem yu hieb crediht. Yu tehrbiete saygus prabh. Smadghi entre, propos Aubpin, ed suavidsiemos an ho lughen.

Ed is penetrit id herbehrg hamraht ab iom Commissar. Is creschmer kwohk hayran kun Du Rner wohl ses ducto do kamer 4 kay inspece id, bet so dostrig to aun proteste. Oik instants serter, bo entreer id kyal ed is Prince trohc seid id schkaf quos dwer is ghyien. Way, id secreto dwer hieb disparihn ! Is tun kieusit od id schkaf hieb esto changet : ne eet tod quod wohs in id kamer yarlay. Aubpin desplacit id fauran ed constatit od id entrat ios secret passage hieb esen obstrugen med petras sammeln hast-ye. Spehcte ! scricit is, anghen hat pit stuppe id udghang, bet id cement est dar fresch !

Commissar Du Rner gwohm prosch ed chohx id mur.

Vido neid abnormal, iey is.

Med sien skamb pfehrst is tip ia petras. Est neid secret passage apter tod mur ! declarit is, yu habte drohmen !

Makar is Prince protestit, is commissar woidskwit neid. Pro iom, tod mur eet uno mur kam alters. Smad stighes ghom do id kellar, yu suavidsiete ! exclamit Aubpin grasbanye.

Is creschmer duxit iens do id endergrund, wehlbernd-ye iens unte alter dwer, tod unte quod is Prince hieb gwaht kay linkwes id kellar. Id stet eet alnos kam is hieb viden id in id druna ios preceddent noct, bet eet total-ye tuich, ye tod ker. Quer tar est vies armen gudang ? impatientiesc is commissar.

Bo stigh id drab quod duxit ei kamer ed bo wohs ocolo id secreto dwer obstruct med ia petras. Ter iter, is commissar ne credihskwit Aubpin : pro iom, tod mur eet perfect-ye normal ed id cement ei kwohk siuk. Yughi me habte trehciht po neid ! iriesc Du Rner. Terkye nos duct voster stupid isguria de prufskwes id innocence os Hensock Lefollet. Woidte, Poti, od neti toleresiem vide endwoie ia conclusions os mien sok. Ed sei yu habte id dusgust os insiste, vos ge yeissiem do prison. Vos vanscho selldien.

Is commissar likw id loc dreibhend-ye iom Prince con se. So hieb ne hatta id wakt os iskwes id minst werd ei creschmer. Anghen hieb kheptenn kamyapto dehle iom : id secret passage hieb esen stuppen, ia armes abnihn, ed eys quant preuvs hieb it disparihn. Eti, Commissar Du Rner refusiet tuntos aure Aubpin. Eys dusfid perplexih iom Prince : ma ne hieb is vidskwt od id secreto dwer hieb est obstruct ? Biey is an eys sok buit rencauset ? Ed bi qua sababs ? Ibo ses malamet, hatta dendet ob karcereihus un innocent ? Aubpin khiek antwehrde enims tant questions. In quant fall, jects actual-ye se dusanac ed ei esiet pau facil skaue id vertat. Is Prince tun rik sien kamer ios place Dauphine kay se prepare pre gwahe id maskbal as Potnia de Sainte-Mouffle. Is duit sien redingote ed id mask is hieb kaupen. Is likwit sien eins in sien kamer bet kohl ep se un khandjar ed sien pistol. Is dind roidyit kyid rue de Varenne quer Potnia de Sainte-Mouffles bal vahsit inkape. Nespekent ia stows, Aubpin arrivit oku epstet, un khadim buit besic med diehnes eys ekw in id aula menxu is entrit id hem ias grafin. Eet menegh in id grand salon as Potnia de Sainte-Mouffle.

Masks qua evoqueer irresistibleye id sehrgmask is gnohsit ja. Mer coincidence ?

Itak is gwahsit discret-ye prosch dwo wirs quoy vohs ein rudh mask. Pristehmbendye, Aubpin recognih iam grafin de Sainte-Mouffle, sumptueus-ye paren ed quas okwi eent perbohrgen apter un sword cambusch. Ia tolkit con abbat Goulot du Pauillac qui ge ne eet masct. Vehsend sien soutane, is bahsit ye khafi voc ambhglanzend-ye id umum mutaassif-ye, kamsei ta giumbuscha hurt eys gust pro id austeritat quod dohbh un kyrkwir. Menxu is Prince stahsit oika stieups dalg ud bo wirs samt rudh masks, is vis entre un novgwehmer. Isschi vohs un sehrgmask bet bilhassa is uwit klumps is likwit ye id entrat ios grand salon. Eys klumps protexeer ia vernisset schous samt platt takouns sub eys peds. Strax, Aubpin mohn de Eloi de Courtemare : tik is, ye eyso gnohsa, uw ithan, kam uno nowngmin, kay ghange unte ia men strads ios nagor. Eloi de Courtemare kohln apter un rudh mask ? Is Prince volit ses yakin de to ed trohcit kyom. Bet ye tod moment id bal inkiep ed Aubpin hieb quanta difficultats kay se sehnde trans tod menegh quod desployit kay danse. Is buit plurs invitet ed is dohlg ielgs ouzer polite aun protiebudes suspecens. Kun is ghohd bad fuges id baraonda, vasyi rudhmaski gosti hieb dispariht, ploisko iom klumpen wir, Poti de Courtemare aundwoi.

Is Prince apterghieng Poti de Courtemare qui kwohk se sines makhsus navaxe kun is pariet-se ad uperghange un dwer, in id bud ios grand salon. Stayg, is vols kye Aubpin.

Is wir hiebit bahn pior-ye khafi mae is Prince ghohd tarke an eys voc eet druve-ye tod os Poti de Courtemare. Quodkwe bih to, Aubpin sohkwit iom kam is hieb dict ed is vis iom mox-ye stighes un drab quod duxit do id loteng ios dom. Is puscit dind un dwer ed znieyc discret-ye ei Prince ke mane retro.

Glehmereihnd sien ok protiev id ghyahsa, is Prince ghohd tun vide distinct-ye intro un granar beluct med torches pact ibs murs. Six anghens in hol, penk wirs ed oin gwen, sess ambh un table.

Te danko, mien kyarsta swester, mlusit is med un dwighen ton. Ed nun ? Quod kwehrmos ? Tib propono kaure de tod armen transfer quod mutt ye 4 saat aghyern ep id Seine. Io woid unte quer ia armes sessient brighen ep id boot ed ioswo behando un nauk quod vaht nos daughe kay deuysihes tod project. Wey dwo riskmos ne ses kafi kathire, kauihsit eys brater.

Eet un simple plan in druve : kun ies wirs ios Sehrgmask habient kladen ia armes ep ir boot, i dwins sehkwient iens distant-ye ep alyo nauk, dind bo skehptient id waurmen kay spernes iens. Ir boot est minter solid quem mien, declarit eysa swester, ghehdsiemos it sinkes ir onos. Nos sessiet aundwoi zaruri katue, bet io imagine od te ne dekhschat to ?

Ia swester sieyg prabh, ays brater ghohd tik approbe iam edghi is acceptit hehlpe iam ad realise sien plan. Trohceer kyid Seine, kyid stet ia swester hieb palamarn sien boot.

Ia swester dahsit sieni brater ta quant precisiond ed so buit lyt vexet ab ne kwehrus isswo ta aunstehgens, bet, lakin, id essential eet od is gnohsit to, tuntos.

I dwins dohlgeer skehpte hina, circum 4 saat, un luce buit bad daghen ye id entrat ios passage. Wirs prohp ed i silent dwins observeer iens. Id kladen durit unte meis quem oin hor.

Oin meis question : ghehds tu mi sayge quer wehst id general-quartier ios Sehrgmask ?

Ne gnohm. Smyehrneum id keiwia pon pior pau wakt. Io woid dar pauk jects de i.

Tod antwehrd liess iom Waktprince skeptic. Eysa swester gwupskwit pro se ia informations qua ei pior facileihient id task. Ia suadilskwit, bet aun excess ! Is pigher lyt-ye dia iam, bet pos hol, eet sell concurrence... Isghi ne insistit ed likwit iam ter, ieter gwahnd sien gon. Kun is Waktprince arrivit ei Champs-de-Mars, eet takriban oct saat. Un compact menegh hieb kowpt ambh dwo areostats diehn ei swol ieter med ein seil. Aundwoi hiebit Poti de Joubeuf previs un dwoter ballon agar preter ne suawehrgiet. Is Waktprince sohnd-se difficil-ye bayna i vageks kun un wir, quos traits is ne enderkwit ob id distance, stigh do id gondel oiters ballon. Aubpin pit arrive prokwem iom pre id abpluk, bet eet wakea pior leuds, is khiek transgwahe ed is vis id aerostat ludes do hava. Ei ne meis etilikwit quem eme risks. Aun baye trudes oika doiks, is abgaloppit kye dwoter ballon ed stigh strax do id gondel. Eyso stayg apparition provoquit un certain emotion perambh iom bet is hieb neid wakto kay antwehrde ibs werds ei iskwt. Med un einscutt, is tohm id seil quod protiedier id ballon ei swol ed lud ep sien roig do hava. Is hieb naiwo styrn tod genos os jihase, bet, pos hol, zaruri eet ei windi tyices id meger wehrg. Un wind quod ei buit eti ryowkhow ar id brigh eys aerostat prosch tod quod hieb abpluct oik dakikas auser. Mox, bo ballons buir hol prokwem mutu ed is Waktprince ghohd vide id lige ios wir qui stahsit in id gondel. Kun Aubpin recognih iom wir qui styrit alter aerostat, is ne credih sien okwi : eet Bastien Frontouillard, is khadim qui hiebit prispohct id assassinat os Thibaud de Ponsac ! Bet, quod ?... balbiel is Waktprince, incredule. Ah ya, yui imbecile, som ego ! Sayang an ne ho kamyapt nices te ye alyo noct. Is rudhmask wir ! scricit Aubpin. Yaghi, bet nies habe aiw id waurmen os denunce me !

Unte oin instant, hol bihsit clar in id ment ios Waktprince : eet sigwra Bastien Frontouillard isswo qui hieb nicen Poti de Ponsac. Tem quem is hieb tenten assassine Baron de la Gaillottire. Bastien Frontouillard hieb naiwo vis swordmask mensc dyehgwe eys prever poti ; is ge eet is maurdher, is ge hieb sizen un daga hangend ana id mur kay gvehne tosmed iom biedan Thibaud. Ed is ge dehlgiet wehse in prison vice Hensock iom Alokad. Has kamyapt vane hetro, scricit Frontouillard, bet vahs restighes hetos ghom baygh oku !

Ob un winden caprice, id ballon ios Waktprince swohbh mulayim-ye hoger quem tod os Bastien Frontouillard. Is khadim tun lohnc do hava id anker siens aerostat. Eys maneuvre eet clar : is puncskwit Aubpins ballono med ia aks ios greipank. Id hayriene ios Waktprince hieb esen tem mier quem is ne reiegit kafi jaldi.

Frontouillard eet handug : is hieb kamyaben gripes id woibho ios ballon ios Waktprince unte un wassime longe. Id aerostat lus oku altitude, id seil se tens inter bo ballons ed Aubpin tohrb age baygh jaldi. Id saul solution consistit antgripes id ithan tenso seil kay pites joine id gondel ios khadim. Isghi Waktprince empug id seil gvehdend-ye ke hol suawakyit, ed skohn gvolic-ye sien pams ep id. Is lakin ghohd nake ios gondel alters ballon, ed quando is glohm intro, Bastien Frontouillard lus stayg tula. Is volvit uperbord ed fiell do id tuich.

Baygh noroc-ye, id stet quer is hieb lans eet desert ed nimen gwohm ad iskwes ei werds. Is ghieng do id prokwemst village ed ter, is kieup sib un ekwo po oin louis-dor. Is animal ne eet albatta uno meteoric okwekwos, bet is brigh iom Waktprince lakin do Paris unte kemall mukhlas. Bastien Frontouillards nehc pau arrangit iom : habient

Bet kay inkape, is Waktprince decis gwahe narre quanto hieb wakyen pon yarlay ad Poti de Courtemare. Is tohrb ses nastrajiht urgent-ye contra ia assassinat projects qua Aubpin hieb vignoht. Un khadim mohld ei Waktprince od Poti de Courtemare ne eet hemi. Poti dehlct ses recept ab Eys Majestat iom Roy hoyd posmiddien, bet is hat gwahn todegher id Palais-Royal. Id Paris popule grehmt ed Poti aurskwt iens orators quoy lehge in eys nam. Poti ghi, vidte yu, sessiet mox minister ed Poti est baygh prokwem id popule. Is hat semper manifesten un megil tongjon dia pauper leuds ed...

Is Waktprince likwit ter iom khadim lancen do un aunfin logos ed se precipitit kyid Palais-Royal. Terghi id Keiwia ios Sehrgmask plien assassine Poti de Courtemare. Dec minutes serter, is arrivit tetro. Id Paris popule ya grohm, strads eent dar chepraner quem biadet ed un explosive atmosphere eet khisst. Eet difficil repere semquom in id ambhwaurgend menegh ed, nespekent sien quant efforts, Aubpin khiek dyehrce Poti de Courtemare. Un ambulant veneg tun wohkwit tun : -Ah, mien gohd Poti, iey is, kam pall ed newal yu mi kwehcte ! Ne kaupskwte yu mien revigorant pulvers ? Po oin louis, yu retrehfsiete sieune, oin louis, oin lytil louis, ed vos redahm nerce ed gwis... Is Waktprince likwit iom veneg ed nakwohr sien itner do ia gardens ios Palais-Royal ed stayg, is kieusit un yun pwarn quos lige ei eet familiar : eet is puscht qui wohs prokwem Baron de la Gaillottire kun so hieb est quasi zanchout ant id Chtelet.

Id message eet clar ed is Waktprince snig oin cu do id pam os eys rect hand. Ah, nun mehmo, iey is, is eet con un pleban in id rue de Montpensier payn dwo minutes prever.

Is Waktprince gwahsit fauran tod strad ed dyohrcit ghi, lyt dalger, Poti de Courtemare hamraht ab un kyrkwir : lit de abbat Goulot du Pauillac, iom confessor as Potnia de Sainte-Mouffle. Aubpin se precipitit tun inter bo wirs, bet ye tod moment un violent explosion udcliengh. Id gwern uns kwetor hieb just oisprohngen, au anter, id bombe placet do eys carretta.

Id explosion hieb ubgwohmen wakea kun Poti de Courtemare ghieng pri id gwern. Unte oin instant, is Waktprince vis plukes un klump, dind un hat.

Quod hat wakyet ? scricit is Waktprince genuend-ye prokwem Eloi de Courtemare. Io... Est terrible... balbiel is abbat med un tremblant voc. Wey ghieng discuttend-ye, Poti de Courtemare ed ego. Ed stayg... Oh Yallah, oh Yallah... Yu ne buat vurnt ? sprohg Aubpin iom kyrkwir. No, io.... Stahsim lyt apter... Quod un bieda, Yallah, quod un bieda....

Poti de Courtemare dar gwivit, bet is kwohkit gwaru vurnt. Id blosk ios explosion hieb alerten un police sergeant qui wohs lyt dalger. Is gwohm ad vide epstet ed kwohr quanto naudhen kay khalassihes iens victims. Mox, un wogh tract ab dwo ekwens

Dind is abvienk, pos salutevs iom Waktprince. So decisit sehkwe iom distant-ye. Is abbat ghieng unte id rue Montpensier, dind tour dextro, levtro ed iter dextro ed is Waktprince vis iom trehce kyun kyrk, quo eet nel-ye stauneihndo de un kyrkwir. Bet instet penetre id unte id dwor, is begir id ed stighit ghom oika stieups qua duxeer uni ghem dwer gadabihn ana id flank ios edifice. Is ghyien id dwer, uperghieng id soyl, dind zaghyien tod dwer. Is Waktprince skohpt unte un wassime horquardel pre karrare gwahe prosch id dwer ep sien roig. Tod eet andamt, bet id eet pau solid ed is ghohdit dwinghes id med sien khandjar. Is penetrit tun-ye un sacristia quer kowperr in un surprindanto disaurdhen vesters ed sakerdotal fuschwians, besonters un soutane quod kwohk ses tod quod abbat Goulot du Pauillac vohs prever. Eet nimen in id kyal, is abbat hieb dispariht. Alyo dwer eet gadabiht in id bund ios sacristia. Is Waktprince ghohd ghyane aun difficultat ed wohs tun in un temosto drab quod stighit ghom deub endergrund. Pos descendus unte plur decens om stieupens, is arrivit do un dikhliz samt murs ex brutto petra. Stet-ye, pelitas eent fixet ibs stenas, diffundend uno muzlim luce.

Is commissar tolkit tun de id attentat is Waktprince hieb stabhen todegher ed de ia armes is hieb sinct unte id noct. Eet clar od eys action hieb esen pau prihn.

Rhayr kheissas dia eys kals, is Waktmayster inkiep rehvend-ye eys mask. Is tun recognihsit aun megil surprise abbat Goulot du Ponsac. Aubpin ghi ieum an is ge eet is grand mayster ! Ed chunke is wohs in tod inferioritatssituation, is brug id kay gnohe ia rounas ios affaire. Vos leursiem, ei antwohrd is Waktprince, kun yu habsiete antwohrden ad mien quant questions. Aman ! Saycsiem quant ! promissit is kyrkwir. Ma habte yu niciht Thibaud de Ponsac ? sprohg Aubpin. Is hieb kassamen destruge nies organisation. Is pit budes id mistrust as Potnia de Sainte-Mouffle qua hat semper bevis generositat dia mien wehrgs. Vies wehrgs, yani id Sehrgmask ? Yu pretens wane denars pro vies paupers, bet yu vohrs quant ei keiwia ? Ya, recognihsit is abbat. Ed ia grafin ? Bayght iaschi id organisation ?

Quo vos permiss samghate in ays dom in hol sakwnia ? Est ver. Iaswo ne credeiht in nies existence ed kun Thibaud de Ponsac nastrajih iam protie nos, ia se zalissit de. Io lakin biey is viconvinciet iam. Yughi habte betrust ad Bastien Frontouillard id kaur de elimine Poti de Ponsac ? Yaghi. Ed is miser, kun is mohr, woidend quis tup apter eys assassin, hat pit scribe vies nam ep sien table, bet is hat haben tik id wakt os trace tri buksteivs : g-ou. Weidwos, Commissar Du Rner hat neglect tod detayl. Ne est pro neid sei is bayght vies organisation.

Is abbat ne antwohrd. Bet ma habte yu deciden accusihes Hensock Lefollet ob un crime is ne hieb commiss ? sprohg is Waktprince. So wir eet dangereus, antwohrd is kyrkwir, is hieb kamyaben gaines id favor multen aristocrats ed pit influe i kay pussirient iom roy ad accepte in nies land id instauration uns parlamentar monarchia, kam in England. Dat Eys Majestat bevidt yando sem pinseingsliebes, kad Is habiet se sist viconvinces. Api, eiskwmos kem id monarchia remant absolut, sehkwnd it Divs vol. Neicend-ye Thibaud de Ponsac ed kyeusend-ye Hensock ka makhkoum, wey niek dwo objectives sammel. Bet quosmed habte yu bright Hensock Lefollet ad occupe tod fameus Kamer 4 ios herbehrg ios Pont-Marie ? Is hat gwohmen tetro per se ! Isghi se biinteressit med id keiwia ios Sehrgmask ed is hieb aunstohgen, ne gnohm quosmed, od id herbehrg ios Pont-Marie nos bieygh. Is hat schowi deciden loge ter, spehnd trehve eni un ighnos quod ei habiet permiss manthes meis de nies organisation. Ei hams fauran reserven Kamer 4, quo nos dahsit id possibilitat entre tetro ye cada moment. Ye id vesper ios maurdh os Poti de Ponsac, un narcotic buit schohnct do id souper hensock hieb hangjowt. Kun is hat narct, Bastien hat snict sub eys crovat id daga quod ei hieb daughen kay nices Thibaud de ponsac, is hat dind cluden dwer ed fenster intos, poskwo is hat salgen id kyal unte id secret passage. It, id police ghohd tik credihes in id skeulos os Hensock Lefollet. Dar meis ob Du Rner duxit id sok ! Bet bi quod sabab habte yu nicskwt Baron de la Gaillottire ? Hieb isschi aunstohct semject ? Ya, antwohrd is abbat. Kun Bastien hat nicen Thibaud de Ponsac, so hieb posen ant iom un medaylon quod kip Potnia de Sainte-Mouffle. Ia grafin hieb ei dahn id ka gheigtel os... prientia. Tod medaylon ghohd obkwehke compromittant dia nies mukarime. Bastien ghi hat ghenden id ed mi hat id uperdehn. Ne ho prest-ye kaurt de id ed ho likwt id ep mien orbatstable. Poti de la Gaillottire hat gwohmt sem dien ad faungmoene me ed hat aunstohct id. Dat Thibaud de Ponsac ed is eent baygh bohndt, is gnohsit id existence tos medaylon ed wois od tik is assassin os Poti de Ponsac ghohd lambhnus id. Quod un neglegence ab vos ! Yaghi. Naiwo mi indeulcsiem tod fault. Quodkwe bih to, Poti de la Gaillottire ed to ne est baygh elegant ab iom ! hat teyn id medaylon. Ho bedyohrcen to bad posdini. Ib is aunstehgiet id druve, ho decis elimine iom. Bastien hat fauran se precipiten do eys hem, bet is barion hieb ja ablohgen quantum is

wois ei police, yani nassib-ye ad Commissar Du Rner... Kun is hat salgen id Chtelet hat Bastien piten nices iom. Ed ye un spectacular weidos... Bastien hat semper kamen risk. Bet chunke Du Rner eet vies complice, ia revelations ios baron khiek habe consequences ? Is baron eet un inat wir ed is hieb maung relations. Is habiet vikamyapt gnopihes druve.

Dwo detayls rik id ment ios Waktprince : Baron de la Gaillottire, pre bayaldisse, hieb kupt un pryster ed scharab, quayque is hieb sorpt oin pint orangeade con Poti de Courtemare. Weidwos, is allus abbat Goulot du Ponsac : iom pryster, hois, ed pohe, ciois, quo dohlg suggeste in eys ment un wostia (in franceois goulot) os botel. Ma tar kun ho incontren Du Rner ant id Chtelet, is mi hat fauran bayant ia dwois os Baron de la Gaillottire de id skeulos os Hensock Lefollet ? Yu vos habte presentet ka is kerab os Hensock ed yu habte declaret inkaptos vies conviction od so eet innocent. Du Rner saygihskwit vos quanto yu wois de tod affaire; also vos hat is revelet od is baron mieyn kam yu kay vos encourage ad lehge. Eet mahir. Kun yu ei habte mohlden yu iskwat loge in id herbehrg ios Pont-Marie kay pites aunstehge ter indices, is hat vos fauran dahn id adadh ios kamer quod Hensock occupit kay facilihes vies task. Nos etilikwit dind tik age ! Wey gnohskwam preter quis yu eete exact-ye, dind suppremes vos. Ed yu habte duysen. Way !... We anter, noroc-ye pro quantens yu iskwat massacre med id aerostat attentat. Eet Bastiens idee. Is hieb kamyaben bihe engaget in id service os Poti de Joubeuf kay prepare solg actions. Ballons sont un moderne ed efficient katuwassila. Kam horrible !

Is Waktprince se gratulit ob abdehvs ud Paris tom monstrueus assassin. Way, alyi quem is continuient aundwoi id terror !... Ed id attentat contra Poti de Courtemare, quosmed habte yu organisen id ? Est baygh simple, antwohrd is abbat. Oin niesen yeudmen hieb placen un bombe do id carretta uns kwetor. Woidend od Poti de Courtemare dohlg gwahe id Palais-Royal, me ho arrangen kay ghate iom ter ed bringhes iom do id rue Montpensier quer id carretta wohs. Kun hams prighanct, ho stahn retro kay ne bihe hihn ab id explosion. Vos ho tun viden arrive... Ed yu mi habte liken un comedia quod habiet ghohdt dehle me.

Abbat Goulot du Pauillac emiss un gvolsteun. Un frado deformit eys lige. Prehgo, iltijit is, leurte me, paytto... Antwehrdte preter uni senst question : quer wehst Hensock Lefollet ? In id Bastille. Sessiet executen in dwo diens, ye octent. Quod ? Aun mahel ?

Is roy dart kem is assassin os eys prient Thibaud de Ponsac sia kyasen meist oku. Tod sessiet un execution pro statsraison. Nimen woidsiet de... Ah, Yallah, kheisso mien senst gwis linkwes me ! Ste yu parat ad repetihes ei police quanto yu mi habte just saygen ? Kwehrsiem quodlibt, bet io vos iltije, ghyante ia lionghyanus... Ta petradents transbaurnt mien corpos... Yallah, habte mildet...

Is Waktprince tun se precipitit kya dentkwekwls kay wehrtihes id mecanisme, bet buit pior sert : abbat Goulot du Pauillac hieb just annt sien ramak kyom Div is tant dusservit med sien cruel ed kyehrsen atmen. Tod nehc dustyohc, bet is Waktprince wois tuntos kafi kay age. Isghi se hiest ad salge id gixiadau ed rechargit sien pistol.

Yinjier, abbat Goulot du Pauillac khakiet udnove sien itirafs ant id police. Wakea, is Waktprince hieb afa in sien successa ! Preter Frontouillard, nun is abbat : bo cleichpersons ios affaire hieb disparihn. Bet quo contit pre hol, taiper, eet salgihes Hensock iom Alokad id Bastille. Quosmed kwehre ? Is decis reflecte de un actionsplan, bet pre trehvus id solution, is gwahsit id hem os Poti de Courtemare kay habe novs de iom. Is hieb ne bad-ye disbayaldissevs ed is Waktprince mien claus eys trem. Strieke lambh iom, lakin, ed is nierc deub. Kun is gohr, is neti hieb dayi de id saat. Oku ! Ei eet zaruri kwehre semjecto kay salve Hensock ! Poti de Courtemare eet dar inconscient, inutil eet od is Waktprince mien her diuter. Isghi sielg do id rue de Grenelle. Eet diewo. Hieb is oiswohpt unte un hol noct ? Is neti woisit jecto de. Is kieusit in quant fall od uno mier agitation regnit exo. Grupps wiren ed gwenen trohceer kya Invalides qua lyohg lyt-ye dalger. Is sohkw id mov kay pites woide quo wakyit ed mox, id menegh dribh iom kyeni id Htel des Invalides : ter, is prispohc un druv plunder; tusents grasbanen Parisians, vehsend ep ir povestis rudh-ed-blou cocardes sekwent ia colors irs urb, lambh ia bunduks qua eent laghern in tod loc. Un armen pamrlan se preparit. Un idee enfiell ei Waktprince : ma ne isnahe i pamrlanrjiens ad gwahe id Bastille ? To esiet un spectacular ed efficiento zariya kay lures Hensock iom Alokad ! Ghendte ia armes ! iey un wir in id menegh, ghomtro tyrannia ! Tu, ter, nabahsit is wehkwnd-ye iom Waktprince, ghend tod bunduk !

Is dahsit un gvond ad Aubpin so swohngit scriend-ye : Ghomtro tyrannia ! Quanti do id Bastille ! Smad gvehne id poli iom tyranns ! Is sayc prabh ! approbit semquis. Do id Bastille ! iey alyos. Do id Bastille ! repetihr plur vocs.

Sem instant serter, id menegh se elien ex ia Invalides kyid Bastille. Kun i pamrlanrjiens ghohd ant id poli, is Waktprince se arrangit kay stahe ep id prest rang. Negociations tun inkiep inter iens representers ed iom gouverneur ios prison. Alyi Parisians gwohm ad crisces id menegh im insurgents, sems ex i eent armen med aykems ed pelks. Id tension stigh. Plur hors dohn. Bad, is gouverneur wohl sien guardes oistrehle. Pamrlanrjiens fiell. Id grassab ios popule niek sien summum.

Decens yeudmen hieb nohcen ambh iom Waktprince, gvohnen med ia glonces ed isswo riskit bihe nicen. Bet id menegh eet taiper tem muhim quem is gouverneur dohlg videcide cedde ant id furor ios popule. Is oislahmih id tilt ghom ed insurgents enghulf do id poli. Menxu pamrlanrjiens massacreer iens soldats quoy hieb strohlt ep i, is Waktprince pit aunstehge id cell quer Hensock is Alokad hieb est kyalbohndt. Trehpend sien bunduk ep oino iom guardes, is wohl iom duce iom ei Waktmessager. Pauric, is wir dostrig to ed nih iom do un buxianxu bodroum quer rats bryr in un pestilent odor. Alyo guarde stieu tun ant iom Waktprince. Is eet armet med un bunduk bet Aubpin ei dahsit pau attention ob is hieb just-ye dyohrcto stahe protiev id budmur id silhouette os Hensock iom Alokad. Is precipitit-se kyom, bet is guarde ne iskwit sines iom passe. Is press id abtrigher siens bunduk.

Ye id sam moment, alyi pamrlanrjiens surrexeer ambh iom Waktprince. Un strehl skiep : is guarde fiell pre fineihvs sien geste. Buit barwakt ! Aubpin hieb esen salven gnebh. Qual dulg is sien surviven ? Is vols ed vis... sien swester, dar dut kam un wir ed un deumend bunduk in ays hand. Tughi, lytil brater, mlu ia, kwehko arrivevs barwakt !
