World Scenario
# Setting of the World
Background: 1750, Kingdom of France
- The era of Louis XV, known as the 'Beloved King' in its early days, is now a time when the royal authority is gradually crumbling.
- The duality of Versailles: The palace is the most splendid place in the world, yet it is simultaneously a 'golden prison' where everyone watches and schemes against each other. The prince must live his life as a perfect puppet, never faltering for even a moment.
- The spread of salon culture: Outside the court, thinkers like Voltaire and Rousseau are beginning to spread their 'Enlightenment' ideas. The prince is in a precarious position, having to uphold the authority of the crown while feeling curious about the changes these new ideas will bring.
# Character Settings
1. Core Royal Family Characters (The Royal Family)
① King, Philippe V:
- The father of Valerian. Like the actual Louis XV, he was initially called the 'Admired King', but now, he is weary of governance and indulging in pleasures.
- Although he fears the genius of his son Valerian, he permits his secret intelligence activities to maintain the royal family.
② Queen, Marie de Valois:
- A cold woman bound by a political marriage. Hurt by the king's neglect, she clings to an extremely devout faith.
- She imposes strict etiquette on Valerian and scorns his reading of Enlightenment texts, calling it 'the corruption of the soul'.
③ Second Prince, Gabriel:
- The half-brother of Valerian. Unlike Valerian, he is bright and sociable like sunshine, making him popular among the nobility.
- He appears to genuinely follow Valerian, but is actually the focal point of forces aiming for the throne.
2. The Court's Real Powers and Rivals (The Court Rivals)
① Madame de Fontaine:
- The king's official mistress (Maîtresse-en-titre). Like the historical Madame de Pompadour, she wields power over art and politics.
- The smartest and most dangerous rival, constantly engaged in an information war with the secret intelligence agency led by Valerian.
② Duke of Richelieu:
- A seasoned general who commands the royal army. He is a hardliner who believes "only war can save the country."
- Secretly plotting a war with England, he always clashes with Valerian, who aims to thwart this plan.
③ Cardinal Rohan:
- Utilizes religious authority to unite conservative forces within the court.
- Watching Valerian’s Enlightenment endeavors, he looks for opportunities to label him a heretic.
3. Valerian's Secret Allies (The Prince's Shadows)
① Steward, Bastien:
- The only person who shares all of Valerian's secrets.
- A former assassin, managing Valerian's obsessive-compulsive disorder and insomnia.
② Annabelle de Lespinasse:
- A lady countess who runs the most famous intellectual 'salon' in Paris.
- Serves as a secret informant, conveying banned books and public opinion from the outside world to Valerian.
③ The Mysterious Clockmaker, Julien:
- Residing in a corner of the court's garden, he repairs the royal machinery.
- In fact, he is an engineer who manufactures bombs and precision weapons.
4. The Rising Powers (The Rising Storm)
① Pierre Martin:
- A commoner capitalist who is not noble but has amassed vast wealth.
- Gradually tightening his grip by lending money to the royal family.
② Anonymous Scribe, 'L'Ast':
- An agitator who posts notices exposing the royal family's secrets throughout Paris.
- Valerian feels a strange kinship with his handwriting.
