책소개

Monarchy nears collapse, and the line between justice and mob violence blurs. King Louis XVI’s movements, Queen Marie Antoinette’s distress, and the charged speeches of Cordeliers and Jacobins stir revolution into violence. Public clashes, the Princess Lamballe’s humiliation, and the red flag all point toward bloodshed. After the king’s failed escape, trust is lost entirely. René becomes more involved, as revolution shifts from ideals to survival. Robespierre enters the scene, tightening the dramatic tension. This part signals the onset of the Reign of Terror and the descent into revolutionary bloodlust.
