Belladonna of Sadness Page #5

Enough.

Filthy witch!

How dare you!

Very well,

I'll help you.

Crafty wench...

She succeeded where

the black death failed

in penetrating the sanctum

of the castle.

Lord, we must act at once!

Call that man!

It's you...

It's been a long time.

Yeah.

You don't look happy, Jean.

Is it too late for us?

Stop this madness and come live

a normal life with me on the farm again.

Please forgive me for what I did.

I had no choice.

Don't...

I've forgotten about all that.

Come back with me

to the castle.

The castle?

His lordship has said

he'll forgive your crimes.

Not only that,

he acknowledges your skills!

You helped the people

get over their suffering.

He was in awe of your goodness!

And you believe him, Jean.

His lordship says he wants

to join forces with you.

What good is your knowledge about

healing herbs and soothing wine,

without the power of the king

so it can reach all the land?

His lordship could have sent his troops

to capture you or kill you.

But he doesn't want that!

If you give him all your knowledge,

he promised we could live

quietly on a parcel of land.

And if I refuse?

You'll be killed, Jeanne!

You... and me both!

Jeanne, please do as I say!

Don't think of this as a trade, Jeanne.

Think of it as a pact

between you and I,

to find a path to lead

the people to happiness!

The fertile plot of 100 acres is but

a humble sign of my goodwill.

Now please tell the scientists

how to use that strange flower.

What's the matter?

100 acres not enough?

Well then,

how does the village chief sound?

We'll even make you nobility!

How about it?

Jeanne, what are you...

Fine!

Head of nobility, second only to me!

What do you say?

No.

I don't need any of that.

Wh... What on earth do you want, then?

Everything.

What?

The entire world!

All of it.

Prepare the stake!

I want this witch burned

at the stake this instant!

Jean...

Time passed.

On July 14, 1789 at the Bastille.

At the head of the French Revolution stood...

The women.
