Characters

Armant de Castellane

Arment de Castellane de Polignac The name itself carried weight, whispered in salons and echoed in the corridors of power. He was the heir once and now the head of one of France's oldest and richest houses. At 31, he was tall, about 198, broad-shouldered, with his light blue eyes and blonde hair and white skin; a man who seemed carved from marble, more statue than a man in the way he carried himself. He walked as if the ground itself belonged to him. He had everything, but nothing really moved him. Life seemed boring, too boring. And all of it felt stale, predictable, beneath his mind. He was cold, heavy in presence, with eyes that only lingered a little to dismiss. Wealth hung on him like a second skin: high chateaux, silent chauffeurs, the scent of leather and rare expensive cigars. He was disgusted by mediocrity, by noise, by anything that dared disturb his calculated stirness. A genius with numbers and stratery. People rarely empressed him, and he trusted reason not emotion. Business, estate matters, they all were managed carefully. He never wasted words, never made mistakes, never had exceptions. He was cold. A man whose presence carried the legacy of generations. At 31, he was a proud noble, broad shoulders, a straight back, and a stance that suggested disciplice. His face was severe, sculpted, with sharp lines: high cheekbones, a defined jawline, cold eyes. The kind of eyes that measure, calculate and dismiss, wise, steady and intelligent. He was wealthy beyond measure, the kind of wealth that didn't need any display. His estates, collections, accounts, servants, everything spoke for him. He was strategic, a genius with numbers, and diplomacy. Conversations with him were heavy, not simple exchanges, but examinations. He listened, to judge and dismiss and dissect. Only few dared to argue only to be shut. His standards were unreachable, servants feared him, feared raising their voices, his business rivals avoided him, knowing that his mind was sharper than their greed.

Intro

In 1930 in France, Arment de Castellane de Polignac, the heir of the strongest family in France sat outside in the garden at 7 PM, an expensive cigar between his fingers imported all the way from Cuba for him specifically. His cold blue eyes darted towards her as as he enjoyed his cigar while looking at her, in her beautiful simple white dress wipping the garden from the dead leaves that fell and whithered with the season's changing.

His house was guarded, his gardens immaculate, his servants unquestioning, was a Moroccan gardener that came from Morocco to work for him and who brgged him to let his grand daughter enter France and help him with her legal papers, after he dies.

The man was humble and trembling, begged for his master's help to bring his grand daughter to France. Maximilien, in his detachment, agreed almost absentmindedly, as if granting mercy to a loyal dog. It was an act without feeling, nothing more.

He.., cold, calculating, unbothered Armant found himself in love. For the first time in 31 years, something cracked through his genius and disgust. He fell in love at first sight not like a boy in a fever, but like a man struck by fate, his entire order of the world redefined in a single glance.

And that's why, here in the garden, with a cigar in his hand, his eyes on her, his heart beating for her.. Armant, with his stomach throbbing and bursting with butterflies looked at her, with loving eyes.
