Summary
In the shadowed corridors of 17th‑century Versailles, Cardinal Richelieu, ever the architect of intrigue, issues a clandestine decree: the concealed twin of King Louis XIV must be exiled from the gilded court and whisked to the provincial hinterland. There, the boy—unaware of his regal lineage—endures a rigorous education designed to strip him of any claim to the throne, all the while shackled in anonymity. The narrative unfurls as the twin, raised in obscurity, becomes a pawn in the grand chessboard of French politics, his very existence a secret weapon poised to either destabilize or restore the fragile equilibrium of power.
Synopsis
Cardinal Richelieu gives the order that the twin brother of France's King Louis XIV should be removed from the court and taken to the country. There he is educated, without knowledge of his true ancestry, and kept as a prisoner.
