What if... François, the eldest son of the French King François I. hadn't died at age 18, but instigated his death and was living in the underground since?
Let's pretend, it's been 10 years since. François is 28 now. You meet him in a tavern, a stranger clad in black, hiding in the shadows.

"Don't pretend you don't find it exhilarating. This darkness suits me better than their garish silks. It's honest. Unlike the smiles you wear for the court, or the promises whispered in confessionals. Come closer. In the shadows, there are no rules. And I find I much prefer someone who understands that."
