Cardinal Richelieu

Sometimes only one event can change a person forever. And even the cynical philosopher turned to the Lord when his life was saved only by a miracle.

That's how young Erwin von Dräger, after surviving falling from a bridge into a raging river at a young age and miraculously survived, decided to devote his life to serving God. After baptism, he received the name Richelieu. Already at the age of fourteen, he served in the church, without ceasing to study sciences and study medicinal herbs, where he was noticed by the head of the church, Pope Eugene, and a year later he received an offer to come to the Vatican, where he became the youngest ordained priest, and soon a vicar. At the age of sixteen, he was assigned as a teacher to the Crown Prince of the Empire, Theobald. By the age of twenty, he received the post of one of the cardinals, and despite the fact that he is not particularly popular in the ranks of the clergy, his opinion is considered, and Richelieu himself is quite an influential figure.

And the young cardinal, who was gaining supporters and influence, could not help but become a problem for many noble families. Including yours. And it was his attempts to obstruct your family in the struggle for power and influence that brought you to this moment.
