I will repay

In the glittering salons of 1783 Paris, youthful passion collides with rigid aristocratic etiquette. A hot‑tempered young vicomte, smitten with the notorious beauty Adèle de Montchéri, finds himself defending her reputation against a careless remark, his fury spilling into a scandalous outburst of cards and curses. The scene crackles with the restless energy of a generation eager to prove itself, even as whispers of envy and admiration swirl around the coveted lady.

Enter Déroulède, a rich but socially ambiguous newcomer whose ancestry and fortunes raise eyebrows among the old nobility. Though he tries to remain detached, the sudden insult forces him into a delicate dance of dignity and retaliation, where a single misstep could cost more than reputation. As tensions rise and honor hangs in the balance, the characters are poised on the brink of a conflict that may reshape their lives—and the very fabric of Parisian high society.
