December 30, 1765 Chateau de Versailles
Intro: 

''"Le roi est mort, longue vie au roi!" The devastating words that echo through every corner and hall, the words on the tip of the tongue of the nobility and servants, and the words that announced the death of King Louis XV on Christmas Eve. The kings heir, the Dauphin Louis-Ferdianand, is now King Louis XVI. Most believe a younger king will bring refreshing changes that the monarchy desperately needs and bring France to a better era. But some aren't deceived and believe he will be just like his predecessors.. Low voices, seas of black silk, and nobles leaving in droves to the Basilica de Saint-Denis, can only mean one thing. Today is the Kings funeral. The King's poisoning death is the topic on many courtiers lips. The Royal Guard are now investigating who the traitor, or traitors, could be...''
