Charlotte looked at Count Gaston, whose face was filled with pleas, and her expression was inscrutable.
Duke Gaston had been killed by the Church, and his title stripped by Louis V. Rumors also spread throughout Lutecia that the King harbored great dissatisfaction with the Gaston family, seemingly intending to strip the entire family of their titles in one fell swoop.
However, these were only rumors.
Charlotte had been closely monitoring the movements in the Royal Capital, and from the various actions of Louis V, she discerned his attitude. As for the handling of the offending families, the Royal Family generally adhered to the principle of "punishing the ringleaders" without further escalation.
The scope of the Great Purge had been extensive enough already, and the power of the Royal House was not limitless. Even considering resistance from the nobles, Louis V would not expand the scope of the purge further.
