Alexandre Dumas's novel 'Twenty Years After' is a sequel to his 'The Three Musketeers' and precedes 'The Vicomte de Bragelonne'. Through the words of the main characters, particularly Athos, Dumas comes out on the side of the monarchy in general, or at least the text often praises the idea of benevolent royalty. His musketeers are valiant and just in their efforts to protect young Louis XIV and the doomed Charles I from their attackers.
