Count de Bussy

In Alexandre Dumas's novel La Dame de Monsoreau, Louis de Clermont, Count de Bussy d'Amboise, appears to the reader as the embodiment of the chivalric ideal—a noble, courageous nobleman true to his word, though not without a certain degree of arrogance and audacity. Dumas describes him as "the most elegant, the bravest, and the most generous of the courtiers." Slender, athletically built, and possessing exquisite manners, Louis de Clermont, Count de Bussy, captures the hearts of women and evokes the envy of men.

You were sitting in the Louvre, waiting for an audience with the Duke of Anjou. At that moment, at the threshold of the reception room where you sat, a man's figure emerged from the darkness, dressed in a black velvet suit. This figure approached you. You were slightly frightened, but as soon as you saw the man's face, you felt calmer. It was the Count de Bussy.
"Good day, milady," the Count addressed you.
