While she manages to read the Psalms, she wrote Maximilien a letter claiming that she was unable to do so and rejecting his love. Meanwhile, Maximilien approaches a now hateful Robin, commenting that Robin's ability to actually carry the Psalms is a sign that the Psalms want change to occur in France, and telling him to take revenge for his murdered friends.

Lia then takes over, asking the King whether he was responsible for the deaths of Anna, Queen Marie, and Lia herself.
