Plot

Perspective
The story is set in Paris, on the eve of the French Revolution. The civilians have been suffering under the tyrannical rule of Louis XVI. In order to release the people from their suffering, Simone, a young florist girl whose parents were killed by the aristocrats, decides to challenge the corrupted aristocrats. Covering her face with a red mask and leaving a red carnation as a mark of her presence, Simone is "La Seine no Hoshi" ("The Star of the Seine" or "The Seine's Star").
Simone also seeks revenge for her deceased parents, who were killed by the henchmen of Marie Antoinette and Louis XVI. She is supported in this by Robert de Forge, who has long been active as the heroic outlaw "Black Tulip". Her adventures repeatedly lead her to the French court, and Simone eventually learns that Marie Antoinette is her half-sister. To conceal this, she and her foster parents were persecuted, while others wanted to uncover the secret. Then Simone was drawn into the turmoil of the French Revolution. She wanted to continue helping the oppressed people, but also took in Marie Antoinette's children to protect them. The Reign of Terror was about to begin in France. Simone, Robert, Danton, Louis XVII and Marie Therese left France as a new family.
