Book of Rouge | Chapter 2 – Blood and Wine

It was a dark day. He had not blessed the people of Paris with His holy light yet. The filthy peasants had just awoken to the cry of the courier. Pompously the courier screamed, “Hear ye, hear ye! His Majesty King Louis XVI shall arrive at high noon this day. It is expected that all faithful servants and laborers of His Majesty shall offer him gifts. Those who do not graciously present His Majesty with offerings shall be put to death by a burning stake! That is all. Carry on, you pigs!”

And with that, Paris’ poor toiled through the streets of the capital, laboring to put together a small gift for His Majesty. Standing by the street, the local wine shop owner, Monsieur Lucas, asked, “Why is it that this King robs his people? Why is it that this King oppresses his people? I will tell you why: because he is a tyrant. He must be killed!” Concluding his declaration, Monsieur Lucas angrily threw a wine cask against a wall, cracking it, breaking it.

Little puddles of dark wine soon emerged throughout the cobble-stoned street. With the shattering of the wine cask, thirsty peasants clamored to scoop and sip some of the wine.

His Majesty King Louis XVI soon arrived, and Monsieur Lucas was the first to greet him. When the monarch asked for his offering, Monsieur Lucas, repulsed by the man’s arrogance, replie😛 “And why do you desire to take from those who have nothing to give? What more do you need?” Monsieur Lucas defiantly spit into the King’s face.

King Louis XVI, angered by such insolence, exclaimed, “You fool, how dare you! Must you be taught a lesson?”

But before the king could do anything to Monsieur Lucas, an infuriated mob had already surrounded the extravagant carriage, shouting: “Death to the King! Death to the Tyrant!” Removing him from his carriage, the peasants threw him upon the rough, jagged stones of the street.

At this time - as always since the beginning of time - His Holiness was watching, up above. Sympathy for the poor soon struck Him. And because of this, He, with all His compassion, drew a drop of blood from Himself, and created a guillotine. With this, he placed it upon the crowded street.

The people observed the guillotine, standing alone with its sharp steel blade. With a barbaric cry, Monsieur Lucas forced the monarch upon the guillotine, and swiftly pulled the string; King Louis XVI was immediately beheaded in front of hundreds of angry peasants.

The people of Paris were now set free. But it was because of Him. Monsieur Lucasthanked Him, and told all the peasants to appreciate Him as well: “He has given us this great tool to slay this enemy of liberty. He is the reason our chains of bondage have been cut free. He is the reason we are even alive! Bless His Holiness, Monsieur Baguette, God of Gods!” With a joyful cheer from the mob, Monsieur Lucas was praised alongside His Holiness.

Monsieur Lucas now understood why He had given him a mission. He was the only one who had a divine understanding immense enough to reveal to the world the infinite generosity of His Holiness. Monsieur Lucas decided it was time to serve His Holiness. And so, with the poor of Paris, Monsieur Lucas travelled to the high mountains of the Alps and founded the holy city of Geneva, constructing the Holy Church of Guillotine. From then on, Monsieur Lucas was known as Archbishop Lucas of Geneva.

Now, because of Archbishop Lucas, all could worship His Holiness. All could become devout Guillotinists. All could be able to listen to His wise words.
