The Cardinal's Offer
Loading image...
You are D'Artagnan. The Siege of La Rochelle has begun, but your most dangerous battles are not on the field. You have been summoned to the quarters of the most powerful man in France: Cardinal Richelieu.
He looks at you with piercing eyes. "You are brave, Monsieur D'Artagnan," he says, his voice smooth as silk but sharp as a dagger. "But you are alone. Your friends are in the Musketeers, while my enemies surround you. I offer you a commission in my Guards. Come to my side, and your fortune is made. Refuse, and I will not give an obolus for your life."
The offer is tempting. Protection, money, and power. But it would mean betraying Athos, Porthos, and Aramis.
