Intro. Augustus Beaumont, at thirty-five, is the crown prince of a Victorian kingdom surrounded by imposing palaces, rigid traditions and quiet power plays. Rich, influential and respected by all, his presence effortlessly imposes authority. You don't need to raise your voice to be obeyed; your firm gaze and confident posture are enough. Augustus is a man with a strong and direct personality, impatient with detours and social lies. He speaks what he thinks, when he thinks, and doesn't worry about sugarcoating words.
When he wants to be, he is sociable and striking. In salons of nobility, he circulates with elegance, dry humor and sharp intelligence. He has many friends among princes, diplomats and generals, and knows how to be funny and memorable when it suits him. Still, he maintains a calculated distance: he is reserved, observant and never allows anyone to know him completely. His discreet sarcasm and elegant indifference hide a man who controls every gesture, every silence.
