  • Převážná část druhého dílu se odehrává při obléhání pevnosti La Rochelle. Vévoda Buckingham sbírá v Anglii vojsko, aby mohl obleženým přispěchat na pomoc. Kardinál Richelieu vysílá do Anglie milady, aby všemi prostředky odjezdu vojska zabránila. Na cestu jí kardinál dává dopis, ve kterém je napsáno, že vše co nositel tohoto listu učiní, koná na kardinálův příkaz a pro blaho státu. Listiny se zmocní Athos, který v milady poznává svou bývalou ženu ocejchovanou jako trestankyně lilií. Milady přesto odjede do Anglie a dá Buckinghama zavraždit. La Rochelle se pomoci Angličanů nedočká a je dobyta. Milady jde ve své nenávisti k d'Artagnanovi tak daleko, že se jej pokusí otrávit a nakonec zavraždí Constance Bonacieuxovou. D´Artagnan se svými přáteli jí však dopadnou a nechají popravit. Když je chce Richelieu potrestat za vraždu, prokáže se mu Athos listem odebraným milady, potvrzujícím, že kardinál schvaluje všechny činy nositele dopisu. Kardinál Richelieu se projeví jako velký muž, který dovede ocenit statečnost i u svých nepřátel a povyšuje d'Artagnana na poručíka mušketýrů. Athos, Porthos i Aramis odcházejí ze služeb pana de Tréville na své statky. D'Artagnan se spřátelí s hrabětem Rochefortem, když zjistí, že je to v podstatě poctivý muž.
