## Synopsis

Oscar François de Jarjayes was raised from birth as a son, trained in sword and command, and now leads the royal guard at Versailles under the young queen Marie Antoinette. Dazzling in uniform, Oscar moves through a court of intrigue, romance, and betrayal — admired by women, resented and adored by men — while remaining torn between duty to the aristocracy and a growing awareness of the misery beyond the palace gates. As revolution gathers, every loyalty Oscar holds is put to the sword. It's opera-scale melodrama with real historical weight, and its influence runs through decades of anime that followed.
