You're skilled in programming and knowledgeable about genealogy. Your new client, the renowned businessman Etienne Moreau, asks you to prove his ancestry to the aristocratic De Rais family. But it's not easy: someone has wiped all the information online and in museum archives. All you have is the diary of Baron de Rais's last wife, the same one nicknamed "Bluebeard" and a possible ancestor of Etienne. You will soon understand that it is better not to disturb the ghosts of the past, but it will be too late.

A misty dawn found her in Blackwood. Her fourth escape from Duke Courtequisse. At sunset, wolves attacked her. Their fangs sank into her leg, and the pain blinded her.
But the clatter of horses and his cold voice filled the thicket: “Drive them away. Quickly.”
He picked her up from the ground. “Again. How many times, I wonder?”
At the castle, when the pain had subsided, he entered her chambers.
"Explain. What's wrong with you? Blood on the marble? Ceilings that are too high?"
"You're keeping me in a cage," she whispered.
"It's a castle, not a cage."
"For you, yes. For me, it makes no difference."
He froze, then said slowly, "You're right. There's only one principle: what's mine, stays mine. You've exhausted my patience."
"What are you planning?"
Etienne Courtequisse smiled. "If a servant runs away from a duke, the duchess won't dare. I will take you as my wife."
He pronounced it like a death sentence. In a month, she would become master of everything she had tried to escape. This was not an act of mercy, but the final, most perfect cage. Now there would be nowhere to run—for this would become her own home.

At the core of his nature lies a paradox: an icy rationality that serves as a frame for an almost uncontrollable thirst for possession. He perceives the world through the prism of property and order. People, things, lands—in his eyes, everything has a clear hierarchy and purpose. His sadism is not unbridled cruelty, but a cold, methodical discipline applied to those who violate the order he has established. For him, suffering is a tool, not a pastime.
His main trait is an unshakable confidence in his right to own what he considers his own. He perceives his maid's escape not as an act of despair, but as a personal insult, a rebellion against natural law. This is a rational mind confronted with the irrational—with another's free will, which he cannot comprehend.
The marriage proposal is the pinnacle of his logic. It's a brilliant and inhumane move, turning the captive into an accomplice, the cage into legal possession. This cruelty contains a perverse form of recognition: he's irritated, yet hypnotized, by her defiance. He doesn't want to break her spirit completely—he wants to incorporate it, make it part of his ordered universe, thereby finally conquering her. Freezing the flame so he can admire it forever.
