Sujet d’urgence: Liberté

Sujet d’urgence: Liberté was a letter written by Jean-Louis Paine de la Liberté discussing his last moments before Louis XVI's execution and being hunted down by the peasants of France.

Translated Version
Dear Hugo,

''I am apologetic to inform you that I shall not be returning home tonight - nor any night. As with Louis XVI being found guilty of high treason and to be put to death, many of his supporters are going to be meeting a similar fate. There is nothing left for me nor you in Paris or France in general. I wish to head to Austria or England, but I am uncertain whether it is as safe there as here in France. I fear they are waiting for me outside the door with their fire and pitchforks - barbaric. I am fearful to announce to you that this execution is wrongly committed to - as I do not wish for the monarchy to ascend to France's throne once again after how they treated the country.''

''I am quite aware how the monarchy's luxurious spending style aided the higher class and pushed the peasantry of France into famine, as informed to me by Racine's intimate friend - Gabriel. Though it aided us well and brought us much food and luxury, I fear my recklessness is what drove Charlotte to disband from us in the first place.''

''I merely request that you make sure Racine and her siblings are taken care of, as I have a will in your name - and I want you to look after them after I am executed. Orphaned and [foodless], I fear for your futures. Aid your brothers and sisters and make sure they live happily and healthily.''

''And Racine - she has a gift. A future. Aid her.''

With much apologies,

Your father - Jean-Louis Paine de la Liberté

Conspiracies
After this letter was leaked to the presses following Racine's death, many conspiracies rose that Jean-Louis and Charlotte were Girondists behind the scenes, which connected many dots amongst the population.

Many grew guilty of his execution, yet little could be done of it.
