The story centers on the eccentric character Pongrácz István, a nobleman living in a medieval castle, who indulges in his whims, engaging in mock battles and maintaining an unusual lifestyle reminiscent of chivalric times. The novel explores the interplay of historical reality and the protagonist's fantastical delusions, shedding light on the culture and customs of the time. The opening of the novel introduces us to the protagonist, Pongrácz István, who dines regularly with his friend Gróf Pongrácz Károly. As they reminisce about times past, the character of the late Gróf István emerges, a man characterized by ambition and quirkiness, often considered foolish by others. The narrative hints at István's peculiar way of life in a seemingly enchanted medieval world, where he dons the role of a noble warrior while engaging in farcical battles. He eventually encounters Estella, a captivating figure who becomes a crucial part of his life at the castle, leading to comedic and dramatic moments that reveal his complex personality and desire for connection.
