"The Gallic Liberation Movement has toiled long and hard to undermine the monarchy. You being a prominent member of that movement saddens me, especially considering your ancestry. You either plotted against us, or knew about the plot and failed to reveal it. Which one it is doesn't matter — either is deemed high treason against le Roi and the Kingdom.

Your father made a lot of questionable decisions. But had he lived to see this day, even he would have been disappointed. You have abused your his legacy and influence. Perhaps you sought to claim what you thought was rightfully yours? Or maybe you really believed in the nonsense spouted by the Movement... Whatever, it no longer matters now. You went against your own uncle, and rest assured you'll pay the price.

Worry not; your wife and child won't be touched. We're not the barbarians you paint us. But of course, we'll have to strip them of all titles and estates. We'll strike out you and your family from history, as if your father never married a commoner. His title will go to his grave, and your descendants will live on as the common folk that your Movement has allegedly been fighting for. I find it a rather fitting punishment.

This is the last time you are addressed as Thomas de Belfort. Guards! Take my misguided cousin away."
