Robert Merle did not like Louis XIV and always announced that he would not propose with his avid readers of accounts being held under the reign of this one. As by a fact of the chance, in last volume, the saga of Pierre-Emmanuel ceases in 1661, year of died of the cardinal Mazarin, whereas the king, old 23 years, will begin his effective reign.
