{ Category: Tragedy }
{ Please, don't write that "OMG, Phoebus is SOO not Frollo! ZOMG11!11". I will ignore comments like that. Because, seriously. }
I wrote down just the crucial things, that you have to know to fully understand the storyline.
PLOT
- Phoebus approaches Alice and tells her about a "secret place" that he's going to ; the girl, having a curious nature, agrees to go with Phoebus
- Alice is amazed by all of the pretty things Phoebus keeps in the place ; being a child from a rather poor family, she doesn't get the chance to be around objects like that
- Phoebus says that the girl can have all of those things, if only she agrees to do something for him... ; the two kiss and cuddle - Phoebus tells Alice to never come to the place, ever again
- Alice obeys the rule for a few days, but then misses the "kind" man and decided to go back to his place
- Phoebus is furious with the girl - she feels hurt and threatens, that she'll go to her parents and tell them all about the man ; Phoebus, scared, tries to reason with the girl but she's too stubborn to listen
- The man, after seeing that nothing works, finally decides to do something so horrible to Alice, that she would never dare to speak about him ever again
- After the act is done, Phoebus burns the place down, destroying all of the possible evidences
Years passes and Alice is growing up...
[ Please read the rest AFTER watching the whole video ]
- Phoebus, who had always been a merciless, strong-willed individual, gains enough power over the years to become a high public official ; he attends a party held by an aristocrat, when he suddenly sees Alice - he recognizes her immediately
- Grown up Alice is a very beautiful woman, whom ends up invited to some of the parties, even though she comes from a countryside and doesn't have much money - her looks make her life a little bit easier
- Phoebus, realizing that the girl didn't recognize him (the years have not been kind to him, after all, plus PHOEBUS is the first name, the man was known under Judge Frollo, his status and surname, so the girl couldn't know him just by that), decides to act fast - he approaches Alice and asks her if she could meet him in a more secure place, as he has something crucial to tell her ; the girl, even though having some bad feelings, knows that being a person with no importance, she can't disobey a respected public official
- Phoebus locks Alice in an abandoned room, then takes his time to think about the possibilities - the easiest way would be to frame the girl for being a witch and kill her, but - having some conscience left - he doesn't want to murder Alice
- The man decides that the only way to keep Alice quiet and under control, is to make her marry him
- Alice, finally realizing that Phoebus is the man that hurt her many years ago, chooses death over being his slave for the rest of her life
- While Alice approaches her fate, her younger self, suffering from nightmares of Phoebus, finally has a chance to rest, seeing the future, in which the man is judged for everything he had done to her
