Versailles in 1789, just before the French Revolution.

Talented people burning up with ideals of how to rebuild the country are selected in each region and are sent to Versailles. The power of absolute monarchy is declining and a new age led by passionate young revolutionaries is fast approaching.

How will King Louis XVII, Princess Marie Thérèse, and the children of all social statuses survive the tumultuous revolution that is to come? This story is a peek at the true history of the time from a child’s point of view.
