Summary:

My brother is only one more king in a row of many, and as we have judged our kings before, I am waiting for this one to likewise lose his head along with his sceptre. If it requires that Allaux must burn to the ground in a second, a third, a fourth revolution, so be it. My freedom relies on those hands loosening their grip and on these walls crumbling around me; as such, I am simply preparing to be very far from here, when it is done.

Germaine Dupont has written a manifesto against all men, but in particular she has written a manifesto against her brother.

I'm quite proud of it. One day I might even have it betaread, but for now, it's fine this way.
