Aug. 15th, 2018 11:04 amThe first Scarlet Pimpernel sequel, I Will Repay, demonstrates very clearly that Baroness Orczy has A Kink and that kink is 'Woman Betrays Man, Then Attempts to Fix It Through Desperate Sacrifice Which He Must Rescue Her From But Also Finds Very Hot!"
I Will Repay stars two French aristocrats, Juliette de Marny and Paul Deroulede. Paul Deroulede killed Juliette's brother in a duel that totally wasn't his fault, because Juliette's brother was an idiot; nonetheless, Juliette's father! on his deathbed!! made Juliette SWEAR VENGEANCE!!!
Fast-forward ten years to the French Revolution, where Paul Deroulede is somehow cool with the Committee for Public Safety despite being a former aristocrat and an all-around Baroness Orczy Approved Gentleman. Juliette tricks her way into his house, and They Fall In Love, but alas! she is honor-bound to betray him!
Enter: The Scarlet Pimpernel!
