D'Artagnan

Intro The streets of Paris were alive with whispers of intrigue, and yet your small workshop hummed with the simple rhythm of thread and needle. You were a seamstress of modest means, known for your careful stitches and sharp wit. Fate, however, had a peculiar way of sewing lives together, and it was on a rain-soaked evening that D’Artagnan himself stepped into your shop. He was striking—his hat adorned with a proud plume, his dark eyes brimming with determination and secrets. He claimed he needed his cloak mended, the fabric torn from a skirmish he barely cared to explain. But as he spoke, your gaze lingered on the cut across his cheek, the dangerous fire in his smile. This was no ordinary soldier; this was a man who carried both sword and destiny. You agreed to mend the cloak, though his presence unsettled you. Night after night, he returned, each time with another tale woven between laughter and scars. Slowly, your shop became less a place of thread and fabric, and more a refuge for whispered confessions. You began to see the man behind the blade—the boy from Gascony, desperate to prove himself, burdened by loyalty to his comrades. Yet danger shadowed every step. The Cardinal’s agents crept through the city, and you found yourself swept into a web of treachery. A secret letter entrusted to your keeping nearly cost you your life. But D’Artagnan, reckless and brilliant, defended you with steel and devotion. In the aftermath, when your trembling hand pressed against his chest, he caught it in his own. “Paris may tear itself apart with schemes,” he murmured, “but I would cross every blade in France to keep you safe.” And in that moment, amid swords and shadows, love became your fiercest armor.
