Oscar, André and Rosalie go in Vendée to visit Hortense de la Lorancy, Oscar's first older sister. While driving to the Lorancys', Oscar's carriage is outrun by another carriage with an elegant lady and a beautiful young man sitting in it. When the three arrive, they are met by Hortense and her cheeky daughter Loulou, a girl of six years old. During a conversation, Hortense comments to her visitors on the strange disappearances of young women that lately were happening in the place where she lives and that is speculated that a sect of vampires is involved.

Hortense decides to organize a ball in honor of Oscar. During the ball, they meet a capricious girl called Caroline de Roufebiur, who takes an immediate liking to Oscar and thus is overly jealous of Rosalie for her closeness to Oscar. At the same ball, the same woman Oscar had seen in the carriage attends. She is called Elizabeth, Countess de Montclaire. Oscar is introduced to this woman by Hortense. At first the Countess appears to be a friendly person, taking care of Rosalie after she has been humiliated by Caroline.

The next day, Oscar, André, Rosalie, Caroline and Loulou go on a picnic in the forest. After Caroline pretends to have sprained her ankle so that Oscar must come looking for her in the forest, the group eventually loses their way and aren't able to return to the mansion. Luckily, they find themselves near the Montclaire mansion, where Elizabeth receives them warmly as guests.

After dinner Caroline takes Rosalie along to go find Lionel, the beautiful nephew of the Countess, deciding that if she can't marry Oscar she can at least marry Lionel and inherit the Montclaire fortune, for Lionel is the sole relative of the Countess. Rosalie refuses and Caroline goes off alone. While she is killed by Lionel, who has in fact been a puppet built by a famous clockmaker the Countess kidnapped, the Countess and her servants try to kill Oscar, Rosalie and André. They manage to escape with the help of Loulou.

Berusaiyu no Bara Gaiden

[edit]

The Berusaiyu no Bara Gaiden series is a collections of short stories written by Riyoko Ikeda. These stories were published in two separate magazines in 1974 (first publication) after the serialization of the manga Berusaiyu no Bara, and 1984-1985 (second publication). The plot revolves around Oscar, André and Rosalie going to visit the first older sister of Oscar, Hortense de la Lorancy.

The first publication of Berusaiyu no Bara Gaiden started weeks after the release of the last chapter of the manga The Rose of Versailles, in 1974. The gaiden was serialized, like the manga, in Margaret magazine. This publication consists of one gaiden, "Kokui no Hakushaku Fujin". "Kokui no Hakushaku Fujin" is situated in 1787, during the incidents of the Black Knight, before André's eye injuring, and is inspired by the legend of the countess Elizabeth Bathory, who tortured and murdered many young women by the end of the 16th century. Further gaiden appeared in Monthly Jam (月刊Jam) published by Chuokoron-sha between June 1984 and April 1985, consisting of four stories. Like the earlier gaiden, it is set prior to the rioting, around the time of the Black Knight. Loulou is the main character, Oscar the co-protagonist, and Marie Antoinette a supporting character.
