need for genuine love and trust instead of physical restraints. The opening of the work introduces the central conflict surrounding the case of the demoiselle Lajon, detailing how she was seduced by her lover, the sieur Berlhe, who not only deceived her but also brutally forced her into a chastity belt before leaving for a journey. Freydier, acting on behalf of Lajon, sets the stage by recounting her plight, portraying her as a victim of both seduction and extreme measures of control imposed by a jealous man.
