Three Musketers Rose

Description

The Three Musketeers: Milady Cuvee Rose

Constance is kidnapped before D’Artagnan’s eyes. In a frantic quest to save her, the young musketeer is forced to join forces with the mysterious Milady de Winter. But as war is declared and Athos, Porthos and Aramis have already joined the front, a terrible secret from the past shatters all old alliances

After surviving an assassination attempt at the end of the first part, Louis XIII decides to launch a war against La Rochelle, a Protestant stronghold on the west coast of France. D’Artagnan and his friends are sent to La Rochelle with the Musketeers, an elite unit of the French army, under the command of Captain Treville. In the war camp, D’Artagnan meets Milady who again attempts to seduce him. As they engage in kissing and undressing, D’Artagnan discovers a fleur-de-lis branded on her shoulder, and he realizes that she is the woman that Athos told him about in the first part. Milady de Winter flees. Athos learns from D’Artagnan that his former wife, the mother of his son, is apparently alive.

A small group of the musketeers is led by Captain de Treville into a daring night raid to La Rochelle. Inside the fortress, they are discovered by Protestant rebels who were apparently informed about the coming raid by Comte de Chalais on Gaston’s orders. With the help of Hannibal, a commander of another French army unit, the musketeers escape after a valiant fight.

Athos follows Milady to a forest, where she secretly meets Cardinal Richelieu. He learns that Milady is ordered to assassinate the Duke of Buckingham, whose support is critical to the La Rochelle rebels’ war efforts. After Richelieu departs, Athos confronts Milady who reminds him of their past romance. She prepares to kill him, but he is saved by arriving Aramis and D’Artagnan, and she flees.

Cardinal Richelieu meets Queen Anne and promises to return Constance who was kept under arrest on his orders. The queen tells D’Artagnan that Constance is safe under Duke of Buckingham’s guard in England. Benjamin, Athos’ brother and one of the Protestant leaders, is captured by guards of Gaston and is condemned to death by drowning. Athos decides to abandon the French army to save his brother. Aramis and D’Artagnan join him. Together, they escape to England.

Milady travels to England to assassinate Duke of Buckingham. In Buckingham’s castle, Milady is recognized by Constance. Milady is captured and condemned to death. Before hanging, Milady is visited by Constance in her captivity. Pitying the fate of a young and beautiful woman, Constance exchanges clothes with Milady and lets her escape. When executioners come for Milady, Constance tries to explain that she is not the person sentenced to death, but in vain. She is hanged in the palace courtyard. D’Artagnan and his friends are moments late to Constance’s hanging. Together with Buckingham, they pursue Milady who used the time to set fire to the duke’s palace. D’Artagnan enters the burning building to fight Milady. During the fight, Milady vanishes, and D’Artagnan is saved, unconscious, by his friends.

Captain de Treville is tried for treason in the King’s court. Aramis and D’Artagnan arrive to bring evidence that Gaston communicated with La Rochelle rebels to plot against the king. Treville is exonerated. Athos comes home to his castle to discover that his son was abducted by an unknown person. On the boy’s bed, he finds an earring that was once in possession of his wife.
