These are lost chapters from my story 'The Richelieu Pact' [see note inside]. The conspiracy against Cardinal Richelieu has been foiled, but the real culprits are yet to be unmasked. D'Artagnan and the Three Musketeers thought the intrigue was over. But when the King holds a Hunting Ball, they have to realise how terribly wrong they were...

Rochefort is entrusted with a delicate mission by Cardinal Richelieu, which he must approach with great tact. However, the master spy does not reckon that a hopelessly enamoured d'Artagnan could get in his way... [one-shot, book based]

Captain de Tréville suddenly behaves strangely, the very existence of the corps of musketeers is at stake! Cardinal Richelieu sends out his spies and soon a monstrous conspiracy is revealed. Who can be trusted when friends become enemies? A murderous complot, dangerous personal secrets and a tender romance become a test for the friendship of the musketeers. [AU, book based]

Spin-Off zu Quo Vadis: Für seine guten Dienste erhält Rochefort eine Belohnung, die er nur zu gern loswerden würde und darum an d'Artagnan weiterverschenkt. Erst spät versteht der Stallmeister die Hintergedanken Kardinal Richelieus dabei und das Schicksal nimmt seinen Lauf. Im wortwörtlichen Sinne.
