Sirkku-Liisa Häyhä-Karmakainen and Tapio Riikonen "Kardinaalin asialla" by Stanley John Weyman is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Gil de Berault, a man of noble birth who finds himself entangled in a duel and the political intrigues of 17th century France, particularly involving the powerful Cardinal Richelieu. As the plot unfolds, de Berault navigates a dangerous web of honor, deception, and the consequences of his actions, all while facing the unpredictable whims of the cardinal. The opening of the novel introduces readers to a tense scene in a tavern where Gil de Berault is confronted by an angry Englishman accusing him of cheating at cards. The situation escalates into a challenge for a duel, illustrating de Berault's quick wit and the underlying social tensions of the time. As he prepares for the duel, the narrative hints at an impending conflict with the cardinal's soldiers and the repercussions of his behavior in a society that punishes duels severely. The atmosphere is charged with the uncertainty and risk of the choices de Berault is about to make, setting the stage for the adventures and moral dilemmas that will follow.
