The letter, written in elegant script, had been delivered to his family's estate by a handsome young courier, his face shrouded in a velvet mask. The invitation was addressed to Marcelin, the eldest son of the wealthy and esteemed Baron de Valois.As Marcelin read the letter, the words seemed to dance before his eyes like the delicate porcelain cup his mother had given him on his 21st birthday.
