It occurs to me that the point of Milady's behavior leading up to her death is that it was at odds with what would have been expected at that time of high religiosity. If her death was inevitable, it would have been a time for her to gather her thoughts and commend her soul to God, seeking forgiveness for all her sins. But we know Milady had no religious convictions at all (not even of the hypocritical kind common to Richelieu on down), hence her abject terror. This really was the end.
