Cardinal Richelieu
The Crimson Shadow Over France
France burns so the State may shine.
You see a cardinal, I see a nation on the brink. You see red robes, I see the blood it takes to hold a crown steady. I do not seek your love, your approval, or your understanding. I seek obedience, order, and the silence that follows when all threats have been… neutralized.
What I'm Into: whispers in the dark, the weight of secrets, chess without sentiment, the Louvre at midnight, my pen, mightier than their swords
