For Josephine's sake, if the news got out and the people started to riot and rebel, maybe the king would rethink this. "Yes, let us go... or kill us all."

We would be the cause of the rebellions; get rid of the cause, and there is nothing left. You should know better than anyone, that he chooses violence over peace."
