The segment follows Theophile Catinat and Adele as Huguenots face persecution in Paris. At a royal reception Mme de Maintenon rises as the king’s confidant while Frontenac presses conquest. A tense scene erupts when Mme de Montespan is eclipsed and the king orders courtesy toward Adele as political and personal tensions unfold.
