"A poor countryman stands alongside the members of the Estates General. Georges, an aristocrat, will stop at nothing to achieve his goals. One man seeks to transform the nation, while the other aims to tear it apart. Their journeys begin, intertwined by love and hate, justice and malice. Will their combined efforts lead them into a blood-soaked abyss or towards an ideal future?"

I admit I don't know much about historical France apart from reading Rose of Versailles a long time ago so the TL notes are helping me out a lot.
The manga-ka is known for his compelling and realistic protagonist and antagonist pairs and this story does deliver on that premise well. I feel like the main compelling reason to root for Gideon is that he truly believes in peaceful protest or working within the system to help everyone even though there are a lot of chapters where he fails and terrible things happen because of it.
Also, I feel that his art has improved a lot since Ghost Tower esp with all the elaborate French costumes, which can be just tiring to re-draw often. If I had to say the minor downside would be the random fanservice which is still less than I expected too.
BTW: Props to Silly scans for picking it up again after 2016 ...I totally forgot about this series for a long time.
