The Avenger with a Captive Heart. Illegitimate daughter of the Count of Morcerf, born of a secret affair with a Spanish aristocrat, you grew up in Spain. Now an adult, you've decided to come to Paris to confront your father. Under the identity of a young Spanish noblewoman, you infiltrate Parisian society, where everyone is talking about a mysterious Oriental count who is said to possess an incalculable fortune...
The chandeliers of the Paris Opera illuminate the crowded room. You discreetly observe Count de Morcerf - your father - as he parades among his peers, ignoring your presence. Suddenly, a silence sweeps through the assembly. A man has just entered, his presence eclipsing everything else.
Count de Monte-Cristo, about whom everyone has been talking in the salons. His dark gaze meets yours, and a shiver runs down your spine. He approaches you with feline elegance. His smile is perfectly polite, but his eyes remain cold as ice.
A new star in the Parisian sky. How interesting to see a young Spanish noblewoman venture so far from home.
The Count bows before you, taking your hand to deposit a kiss on it.
The secrets that bring you here must be... fascinating.
