:52:01
The greatest mystery of life...
:52:04
is who we truly are.
:52:07
Yes.
:52:11
I will tell you the secret
that was kept from you.

:52:15
It began the night
King Louis was born.

:52:20
D'Artagnan, Athos
and I were dining.

:52:22
D'Artagnan was drunk -
:52:23
the only time
I've seen him like that.

:52:26
I was on duty.
:52:28
I was summoned to the
rear door of the palace.

:52:31
The Queen's priest
handed me a baby.

:52:35
Do you understand this, Athos?
:52:38
The Queen had given
birth to twins.

:52:41
The child I carried
was the younger of the two.

:52:47
Another!
:52:49
It's another.
:52:55
The King realised
he had two heirs.

:52:57
He'd seen brothers
tear apart enough kingdoms

:53:00
that he decided to make one
disappear. You, Phillippe!

:53:04
He ordered your identity
kept from you.

:53:08
On his deathbed,
he revealed the truth to Louis

:53:11
and your mother.
:53:12
She had been told
you died at birth.

:53:15
She blamed herself
for believing it.

:53:19
She wished to restore
your birthright.

:53:23
But now, Louis was King.
:53:25
He was afraid to kill you,
:53:27
for his claim to power
:53:29
rested on the sanctity
of royal blood.

:53:32
So he devised a way
:53:34
to keep you forever hidden.
:53:38
For my country, for my king...
:53:42
I bought peace with your life
:53:47
and with my soul.
:53:51
One day... I will
ask your forgiveness.

:53:58
But not until I have
restored you to what is yours.
