To Serve at the Pleasure of the King

This is a repost of a story originally posted at ID 2941562 iiiieyes. A H/C missing scene to Episode 8 - The Challenge. All is not as it seems when d'Artagnan leaves the field of battle, though by morning he's recovered enough to go about his errand to the Bonacieux's. Set (mostly) between handshake with Athos and meeting with Milady.
