The story begins in Paris 1742, when the body of a woman named Lia de Beaumont is found in a casket floating along the Seine. The only clue regarding her death is the word "Psalms", which is written in blood on the lid of the casket. D'Eon de Beaumont, Lia's younger brother and a knight in service of King Louis XV, takes it upon himself to investigate his sister's mysterious death, along with the strange disappearances of a number of French women.
Main characters
- D'Eon de Beaumont (デオン·ド·ボーモン Deon do Bōmon)
Voiced by: Yūki Tai (Japanese), David Matranga (English); Old D'Eon Voiced by: Akio Nojima (Japanese), Ted Pfister (English)
D'Eon is a member of the Secret Police, working in the shadows to keep the peace within French society. When his sister suddenly turns up floating down a river in a coffin with 'Psalms' written on it, D'Eon is thrown into a deadly struggle with revolutionaries and supernatural forces in order to uncover the truth behind his sister's death. D'Eon looks remarkably like Lia, which turns to his advantage whenever he needs to meet with a ruler who was once Lia's friend. He is loosely based on the historic figure, Chevalier d'Eon.
- Lia de Beaumont (リア·ド·ボーモン Ria do Bōmon)
Voiced by: Risa Mizuno (Japanese), Taylor Hannah (English)
Lia is D'Eon's older sister, and a skilled fencer. She was killed under mysterious circumstances and the story revolves around finding the truth. Despite flashbacks of her being a caring and considerate young woman, her spirit is full of great anger, sorrow, and the desire to exact revenge. She had a unique sword stance, which made it easy for Teillagory to identify her when the others are unsure. Later in the series, it becomes more obvious that Lia was connected to Maximilien Robespierre and some of the other supporting characters in the series. Many royals remember and looked up to Lia, such as Empress Elizaveta of Russia.
- Robin (ロビン Robin)
Voiced by: Megumi Matsumoto (Japanese), Tyler Galindo (English)
Robin is the Queen of France's young page who is assigned to assist D'Eon. Despite his age, he is earnest and resourceful, and his loyalty to the Queen and his companions is steadfast. Robin greatly looks up to D'Eon and his friends, and prefers to wield a flintlock pistol in combat.

Teillagory lost his only son in a war several years prior to the start of the series.
