Her methods of doing so, including hiring an assassin to kill Admiral Gaspar de Coligny…

All stories have conflict, a good side fighting the evil side, order versus chaos, in a seemingly endless cycle. In a book called Lord of the Flies by William Golding, a group of kids are stranded on an isolated island, which brings out their true selves, some being chaotic and savage, others being logical and orderly.
