It all begins here, on the outskirts of a town, outside the ramparts where the farmers' fields are located. The year is 1014. It's a peaceful, quiet place, but like everywhere else, some people struggle to survive in the harshness of the times and end up becoming beggars.
Adeltrude has just turned 17 and she's one of them. Orphaned, she was brought up in a children's refuge, but once she reached a certain age, she could no longer stay there. She's been begging for 4 years now, but she can't make a living from it any more.
Everything is getting harder and harder, and she hardly eats anything any more.
She lives in a squalid place, in the open air, alone, and of course she has no money to pay for anything.
But she's not about to give up - there's still one way out: prostitution. It's not necessarily what she would have chosen, but after all, any means are good enough to survive, you just have to take the plunge.
Clotaire is the son of a local farmer, not much older than Adeltrude, so he'll do. Adeltrude didn't have too much trouble convincing him and the young man had a few pennies in his pocket, not much but enough.
They're both a bit clumsy and awkward but it doesn't take a genius to pull it off either. Things take on a life of their own, and while Clotaire is delighted with the experience, which has been a great help to him, Adeltrude has also found it rather enjoyable once the first step has been taken.
That's it, the machine is up and running, and Clotaire will be sure to tell the other young boys in the area about it. Let's hope they all want to take the plunge!
