When Herman saw the young Lisa with her grandmother, the old countess known as the “Queen of Spades”, Herman understood that to win the right to pursue her, he must become rich from her. . He thinks the best way is to discover the secrets of the three lucky cards, which will make him a powerful character and allow him to attract Lisa. The countess kept this secret, and if she confessed to him, she would die. Herman, who was fascinated by this story, vowed to get Lisa’s love. Gradually, worship turned into greed.
