Hi! Thank you so much for the wonderful compliments! I'm absolutely floored and excited to see people wanting to read the original novel lol.
I think there's enough in the current demo to confirm that a potential romantic relationship with Peyrolles is probable yes.
And I'm really glad you enjoyed the scene with the spinet with Chartres! I wanted to have something to soften the moment, to highlight the friendship between Gonzague and Chartres.
