Le Bossu: Aventures de Cape et d'Épée. Volume 6

In the opulent courts of 18th‑century France, a grieving widow known as the Princess of Gonzague is thrust into a tangled web of deceit. After her daughter’s abduction by the unscrupulous Lagardère, she turns to the most powerful men of the realm—cardinals, dukes, and the regent himself—seeking justice and protection. Their responses set the stage for a high‑stakes confrontation that could reshape the fragile balance of power.

As the princess journeys to the Palais‑Royal, she faces a probing audience with the regent, who is haunted by old scandals and uneasy alliances. Each adviser offers counsel, yet hidden motives stir beneath their polished words, hinting at deeper conspiracies tied to a long‑forgotten marriage contract. The tension builds as rival factions prepare to act, leaving listeners eager to follow the unfolding intrigue and discover whether truth can prevail over treachery.
