More about the book

The transformation of Aramis into a confessor alters the dynamic between him and Baisemeaux, who now feels subordinate to Aramis. As they navigate a starlit night toward the prisoner's chamber, Baisemeaux exhibits a reluctant obedience, reflecting the shift in power. Upon entering, Aramis finds a young prisoner, seemingly indifferent to his arrival, lying on a bed in a sparse room. The atmosphere is heavy with the weight of confinement, highlighted by the untouched meal and the absence of light, emphasizing the young man's isolation and despair.
