A SLIGHTLY RISQUÉ MURDER MYSTERY GAME - MERRYMURDER.COM

LOUIS XV
King of France

I am Louis XV, the King of France.  All my life I have lived for pleasure.  Those pleasures have mainly been women.  I enjoy pleasures of the flesh and I have had more mistresses than hot dinners, siring countless royal bastards.  But I only have one legitimate child, the Princess Henriette.  She was the daughter of my first wife.

I recently married again.  Cardinal Richelieu, my former first minister, was eager for me to marry an English princess.  However when he died, Cardinal Mazarin became my chief adviser.  He championed a match with Marie Antoinette of Austria.  I followed his advice.  I found my new wife charming, although a little empty headed.  And, as I usually prefer older women, it was a novelty to have young flesh in my bed for a change!

I am very much alarmed by the Queen’s disappearance.  Therefore I have asked Madame de Pompadour to investigate.  I have given her carte blanche on how she performs her investigation.  And tonight I want you all to forget that I am the king.  There is to be no royal protocol.  Just consider me to be a humble investigator.  And bow when you address me!
