Twenty years after

** "Twenty Years After" by Alexandre Dumas and Auguste Maquet is a follow-up to "The Three Musketeers" that brings back D'Artagnan and his companions, Athos, Porthos, and Aramis, showing what their lives are like twenty years later as a new chapter of their adventures begin.

As Cardinal Mazarin struggles with rising anger against the government after succeeding Cardinal Richelieu, D'Artagnan, still brave but more mature, steps into this uncertain political time. The story immediately builds tension as D'Artagnan is tasked with helping Mazarin, hinting at the important roles of past friendships and alliances as the conflict grows. This intro part shows an exciting mix of action, political games, and the strong bond between the main characters as they face challenges. **
