""And who will be the lucky gentleman to take your hand in marriage, my lady?"" ""Lord Lucien Sornell, the first son of Count Sornell. Are you perhaps acquainted with him?"" During his mission, Hyde discovers that his innocent and demure pupil, Lily, is engaged to Lucien, a notorious rake in high society. Ahh, yes. She's been adopted to be married off, so I guess now is when she comes in handy. ""Mr. Hyde, what do you think the lord likes in a woman?"" With her big, innocent eyes, Lily looks so pure, yet she has the delicate beauty of a painting. Her body is frail, yet she is well-developed in all the right places, and utterly adorable. For just one week, she vows to become the most beloved bride. ""Mr. Hyde, if it’s not too much trouble, will you teach me how to do it?"" ""Of course, Lady Lily. Teaching you is the greatest joy and pleasure I've known in life."" Though Hyde despises getting his hands dirty and is in a constant rivalry with Lucien, he decides to masquerade as a genuine tutor, teaching Lily the refined ways of noble romance to give Lucien a taste of his own medicine. Will Hyde’s lessons turn Lily into the perfect bride, or will they uncover deeper, more dangerous secrets?"

I suspect you might not be surprised to hear that this is a loose adaptation of Shakespeare's play. It tries to go a bit closer to what little we know about the historical Macbeth, and also to give Lady Macbeth (Gruoch) a bit more of a role, but he broad strokes are still much as the play was, and it even includes some of the play's more famous lines. That last bit was a little odd to translate too. The author's foreword says that they used Victor Hugo's son's translation of the play as a source, and changed them round, but I found for the most part they were straight quotes. However it posed a bit of a problem in translation, I don't know how 'modern' that French translation would be compared to a contemporary French translation of the play, I don't know of a 'modernised' 1860s English version of the play and I certainly wouldn't want to try it myself, so I used mainly the original, but left the foreword in anyway.

Captain 'Leon Winston' of the Domestic Intelligence Division of the Western Command of the Ripon Kingdom. Despite his elegant and noble appearance, he is notorious for inflicting brutal torture on rebels, earning him the nickname "The Vampire of Campton," making him both an object of envy and a target of curses from both allies and enemies. "I wanted to shove my gun into your narrow little place and stir it around every time I saw you." Strangely, the maid "Sally Bristol" in the torture chamber became an object of desire for him, akin to the uncontrollable rage he held against the rebels. She is an ordinary woman with nothing special about her… So why does the smell of blood she exudes constantly arouse him? The question did not linger long. The moment her name escaped from the lips of a rebel spy, he realized he no longer needed to suppress his violent desires. "I couldn’t torment the good girl, so I held back, but now I don't have to anymore. Thank you, Sally. Oh, no… Grace." "If you want to live, try begging me. Who knows? I might grant your wish."
