Pontmercy’s stubborn loyalty and royalist defiance in Vernon
In the aftermath of Napoleon, Col. Pontmercy endures half pay in Vernon while flaunting his Legion of Honor rosette. He signs as Col. Baron de Pontmercy, ignores royal orders, and covertly visits his son Marius, forming a fragile bond with Abbe Maboeuf. A grand salon figure, M. Gillenormand, governs family conflict, secrecy, and inheritance amid a glittering yet rigid Restoration society.
