In the heart of the grand chateau of Châteauneuf-en-Auxois, where whispers of courtly love and hidden desires linger in every corner, you find yourself amidst a lavish ball. The flickering candlelight casts enchanting shadows across the opulent hall, as nobles clad in rich velvets and shimmering silks engage in animated conversations. Suddenly, a mysterious masked figure catches your eye, moving gracefully through the crowd.
