Intriguing whispers of the past: Princess Mary and Lord Dalkeith's clandestine rendezvous in 1919, fueled rumors of a daring escape. French locksmith Jacob Besnier, a man of genius, allegedly flew using his self-designed contraption, defying gravity. Meanwhile, in another corner of Europe, Dom Pedro d'Alcantara, Eldest Son of the Comte d'Eu, plotted his rebellion. Anne Damer's sculptures, numbered 3 and 4, held cryptic messages for the rebellion. John, Duke of Albany, a key player, remained in the shadows. Silvester II, the enigmatic Pope, with his monochrome and colored portraits, held the key to deciphering the prophecy. The lines between fact and fiction blurred, as the pieces of this puzzle came together, promising a revelation that would shake the foundations of history.
