He is the second son of Marie Antoinette and is renowned as the Duke of Normandy. After losing his older brother, he is burdened with the heavy responsibility of becoming the Dauphin. Following the execution of King Louis XVI, he ultimately faces the fate of being separated from Marie Antoinette. In the story, he is depicted singing and dancing cheerfully with the citizens, laughing joyfully, but eventually, he is shown gradually distancing himself from the memories of his mother and sister.
In contrast, in actual history, he was placed in a harsh environment and, under the radical Hébert's order, was assigned to the care of Antoine Simon—a cobbler who could neither read nor write and served as his guardian and educator. Subjected to severe abuse during this "re-education," he met a tragic end at the very young age of ten.
