I had made some assumptions long ago as to who really blew the top off of the nasty satanist of the time and got most of them executed. There was only one person who could have betrayed the plot to kill the king and that was Marie-Marguerite. She knew everything her wicked stepmother was doing and when she heard this one.....It was the last straw...Or was it? Was there something else that REALLY made her take action? She had no particular love for Louis. After all he had his hand in all of it too.
Could it be she overheard one thing too many?
While in a nearby shop she did hear something. One of La Voisin's cronies, whom appeared to be drunk as a skunk, was shooting off her mouth about how she was paid by her stepmother to get rid of Antoine's wife...Her mother. She slobbered and slurred on about how, just like now she gave her a pair of gloves soaked in poison......and said that once Catherine set her eyes on something she wanted that she would stop at nothing to get it. Marie-Marguerite thought that she meant that she lusted after her father. When in truth what she wore on her hand is what she would give her soul for.
The next statement went on deaf ears, enraged in the knowledge that she killed her mother....The crone said, "But it went to that brat of hers. She's going to have to get rid of her if she ever expects to have it" Marie-Marguerite may not have heard but the ring did. And since it was charged to protect her.....It did so....In as vicious a manner as La Voisin was planning on disposing of it's owner.
