This volume is part of a series that explores the struggles of the proletariat throughout history, focusing on the character Brunehaut, a queen navigating the turbulent politics and social dynamics of her time. The narrative delves into themes of power, ambition, and the impact of personal relationships on broader societal conflicts, thus offering readers a vivid depiction of a significant historical period. At the start of the narrative, Brunehaut is depicted through her luxurious palace, which showcases her opulence and authority. The scene unfolds with the arrival of a Jewish slave trader, Samuel, who presents two young girls for the queen to evaluate as potential slaves. While one girl, Aurélie, is portrayed as fragile and submissive, the other, Blandine, is bold and spirited. The queen engages in a conversation filled with dark humor and underlying cruelty, revealing her intent to use the girl as a concubine for her young grandson, Sigebert. The tension in the queen's court hints at the treachery surrounding her position, especially as political alliances and rebellions brew against her rule, exemplifying the intricate interplay of personal desires and the grander scope of historical events.
