Act IV
Act IV:  The Gascon Cadets

Fires, tents, weapons, and tired cadets open this act with all the signs of being at war.  

 Cyrano is returning from crossing over the enemy's lines in disguise where he has been delivering

 a letter for Roxane twice a day.  Not even Christian knows of the constancy of his writing.

All of a sudden, Roxane shows up in a carriage.  She was able to make it past the enemies with

 her charm and beauty.  Cyrano's writing is so powerful, she could not stay away.  The only problem is

 that she still believes Christian has been writing to her.

Christian is overwhelmed by her presence and decides he can¹t handle the lies anymore.  

 He demands that Cyrano tell her the truth and that Roxane should choose who she really loves.

Cyrano tries to tell her but a battle breaks out and Christian is shot.  Cyrano whispers in his ear as

 he is taking his last breath, "it is still you she loves."

Roxane falls to the ground in utter despair as the cadets rush off to battle.
