And
so
Langdon
had
remained
,
standing
beside
Sophie
and
listening
in
mute
astonishment
while
Marie
told
the
story
of
Sophie
s
late
parents
.
Incredibly
,
both
had
been
from
Merovingian
families
direct
descendants
of
Mary
Magdalene
and
Jesus
Christ
.
Sophie
s
parents
and
ancestors
,
for
protection
,
had
changed
their
family
names
of
Plantard
and
Saint
-
Clair
.
Their
children
represented
the
most
direct
surviving
royal
bloodline
and
therefore
were
carefully
guarded
by
the
Priory
.
When
Sophie
s
parents
were
killed
in
a
car
accident
whose
cause
could
not
be
determined
,
the
Priory
feared
the
identity
of
the
royal
line
had
been
discovered
.
«
Your
grandfather
and
I
,
»
Marie
had
explained
in
a
voice
choked
with
pain
,
«
had
to
make
a
grave
decision
the
instant
we
received
the
phone
call
.
Your
parents
car
had
just
been
found
in
the
river
.
»
She
dabbed
at
the
tears
in
her
eyes
.
«
All
six
of
us
including
you
two
grandchildren
were
supposed
to
be
traveling
together
in
that
car
that
very
night
.
Fortunately
we
changed
our
plans
at
the
last
moment
,
and
your
parents
were
alone
.
Hearing
of
the
accident
,
Jacques
and
I
had
no
way
to
know
what
had
really
happened
or
if
this
was
truly
an
accident
.
»
Marie
looked
at
Sophie
.
«
We
knew
we
had
to
protect
our
grandchildren
,
and
we
did
what
we
thought
was
best
.
Jacques
reported
to
the
police
that
your
brother
and
I
had
been
in
the
car
our
two
bodies
apparently
washed
off
in
the
current
.
Then
your
brother
and
I
went
underground
with
the
Priory
.
Jacques
,
being
a
man
of
prominence
,
did
not
have
the
luxury
of
disappearing
.
It
only
made
sense
that
Sophie
,
being
the
eldest
,
would
stay
in
Paris
to
be
taught
and
raised
by
Jacques
,
close
to
the
heart
and
protection
of
the
Priory
.
»
Her
voice
fell
to
a
whisper
.
«
Separating
the
family
was
the
hardest
thing
we
ever
had
to
do
.
Jacques
and
I
saw
each
other
only
very
infrequently
,
and
always
in
the
most
secret
of
settings
under
the
protection
of
the
Priory
.

There
are
certain
ceremonies
to
which
the
brotherhood
always
stays
faithful
.
»
Langdon
had
sensed
the
story
went
far
deeper
,
but
he
also
sensed
it
was
not
for
him
to
hear
.
So
he
had
stepped
outside
.
Now
,
gazing
up
at
the
spires
of
Rosslyn
,
Langdon
could
not
escape
the
hollow
gnaw
of
Rosslyn
s
unsolved
mystery
.
Is
the
Grail
really
here
at
Rosslyn
?
And
if
so
,
where
are
theblade
and
chalice
that
Saunière
mentioned
in
his
poem
?
»
I
ll
take
that
,
»
Marie
said
,
motioning
to
Langdon
s
hand
.
«
Oh
,
thank
you
.
»
Langdon
held
out
his
empty
coffee
cup
.
She
stared
at
him
.
«
I
was
referring
to
your
other
hand
,
Mr
.
Langdon
.
»
Langdon
looked
down
and
realized
he
was
holding
Saunière
s
papyrus
.
He
had
taken
it
from
the
cryptex
once
again
in
hopes
of
seeing
something
he
had
missed
earlier
.
«
Of
course
,
I
m
sorry
.
»
Marie
looked
amused
as
she
took
the
paper
.
«
I
know
of
a
man
at
a
bank
in
Paris
who
is
probably
very
eager
to
see
the
return
of
this
rosewood
box
.
André
Vernet
was
a
dear
friend
of
Jacques
,
and
Jacques
trusted
him
explicitly
.
André
would
have
done
anything
to
honor
Jacques
s
requests
for
the
care
of
this
box
.

Including
shooting
me
,
Langdon
recalled
,
deciding
not
to
mention
that
he
had
probably
broken
the
poor
man
s
nose
.
Thinking
of
Paris
,
Langdon
flashed
on
the
three
sénéchaux
who
had
been
killed
the
night
before
.
«
And
the
Priory
?
What
happens
now
?
»
«
The
wheels
are
already
in
motion
,
Mr
.
Langdon
.
The
brotherhood
has
endured
for
centuries
,
and
it
will
endure
this
.
There
are
always
those
waiting
to
move
up
and
rebuild
.
