amusement dresses ever - elegant features at the sight of the monarch standing before her ; apart from chosen masks , their chosen attire undeniably similar . ❛ well , ❜ she dramatizes , vocals colored with a charming faux offense . ❛ your majesty ... one of us is going to have to change . ❜
the passage of time , ever her enemy . astonished is she each time she takes in the sight of her girl , grown and independent and gloriously beautiful . ❛ mon amour , you look stunning - if a little macabre . you always did know how to leave an impression . ❜ and she certainly hadn’t gotten it from her father .
eyes of cerulean rake over the crowd from beneath a mask of deep burgundy . ❛ you know , ❜ she muses , thoughts falling upon one of the only people she’d feel safe enough in this pit of snakes to speak openly with , ❛ upon reflection , i’m not entirely convinced inviting every country on the damned globe to this soiree was such a grand idea . there are reasons some of them don’t communicate . ❜
the years , they’ve passed but he’s never strayed far from her mind ; her darling son , perhaps the one person in this world who had loved her unconditionally despite everything . his loss had proven too much / the last piece of her fallen away at last . great loss is indeed a peculiar creature ; some people need the little reminders , need keepsakes , any sign that their loved one was there at all . she , in true unconventional fashion , needed the opposite . needed to relinquish his belongings , store his photos away , cut all ties with his beloved ... who was now , for the first time in years , standing before her very eyes .
❛ mon dieu ! lucien , you look like an entirely new man . ‘ rouged petals pull upward in vague amusement . some time has passed since she’d last seen him , of course , but that suit ... it mingles with something new in him , something more jaded beneath the mask . an expression she knows all too well .
❛ freja - you wouldn’t happen to know where your other half is , would you ? ❜ not that she’s particularly interested in conversing with her more trigger - happy nephew , but unfortunately she’d spotted lisette conversing with him as she’d first made her entrance .
faux smile feels like a permanent fixture ‘pon porcelain ; it has since she arrived , and it burns brightest in the presence of that darling nephew of hers . after all , one must keep up appearances , mustn’t one ? ❛ henri ! i was just wondering when i might run into you . you look charming . ❜
Oh my! 💘 Her Royal Highness, Princess Florence of France just showed up to the Masquerade Ball in Tony Ward and we couldn’t love it more! Do you love it or hate it? Sound off in the comments!! 👑
natasja was just getting her things together to leave when she realized she was going to have to say something to the woman across from her. it was at least awkward if she didn’t, at most to be percieved as rude. and rude was not something even a slightly drunk natasja was willing to be, “florence, how have you been?” natasja asks, her voice dripping with a faux sincerity that she’d perfected over the years of verbal sparring with her brother.
@fleurdufrance
oh , false integrity ! it has been a dear friend , there for her time and time again ; she could do it in her sleep . the switch turns the second her name is uttered from across the table , thousand - watt smile sent in company’s direction . ❛ natasia , look at you . you look beautiful ! it’s so lovely to see you . i’ve been just fine ; how sweet of you to ask . and how are you doing ? ❜
&&. announcing her royal highness, ( florence etienne margaux d'orleans ), the ( 55 ) year old ( princess ) of ( france ). she is often confused with ( bellamy young ). some say that she is ( cold and self-destructive ), but she is actually ( charming and resilient ). ( OOC: ANGIE / 24 / EST / SHE/HER )
• sorry she’s french
• the princess of france to be exact still french tho
• basically she was once v favored by the people and now she just kinda walks around rolling her eyes watching her tiny offspring / brother’s offspring fuck up the country
• this motherfucker knows how to charm ..... if u don’t know her, she has a public persona she can switch on like nobody’s business. she’s made a lot of mistakes in private, but in public she’s p much always maintained a squeaky clean sweetheart kind of image
• some people aren’t a fan of the spotlight. she grew up loving it; she knew how to work a room in just the right way, say just the right thing, do her job exactly as her family expected of her.
• her brother started having children, and then she married a friend of his. older than her, nice enough, but she was young and naive and she hardly knew him. they really weren’t compatible. but she was in love with the idea of a perfect marriage and desperate for it to work out, so she tried to fix it with kids. shockingly, screaming crotch goblins fixed nothing!!!!!!!
• so, she wasn’t ready to be a mother. like, at all. she did try, but the stress of two young kids combined with an unhappy marriage had her slipping into a pill/alcohol addiction. it happened slowly, gradually; no one seemed to notice or care until it was too late. she struggled for years.
• her daughter, lisette, basically flew the coop to hungary first chance she got. her husband eventually passed, and still she didn’t see her. her son, alphonse, was more faithful, not that she deserved it. one day, he went off to war, and she never saw him again. the tragedy shook her to her core just as she was beginning to come out of the mess she’d made of herself.
• she relapsed for a short while after his death, and now she’s decided with a clear head to attempt to fix things with her daughter. she might suck at showing it but she rly does love them deep down ok
• honestly she’s kinda jaded from life so she acts like a bitch a lot but there’s a real person in there i promise
• in other news
• do not hand her an iphone she absolutely garbage at technology
• what is a tiktok
• but give her literally any national crisis and she’ll solve it in 20 minutes
• she’s actually v smart u see
• but she’s not rly in charge so that’s pretty useless haha sorry france
• anyway pls love her n give her plots n stuff or i’ll die
“Ah mom, hopefully you weren’t waiting long” lis said walking around the woman and opening the door to her room. She didn’t bother to close it nor tell her mother to come in. If only she was so lucky to avoid it. In theory she was happy her mother was getting out of the house more. In practice Lis would have to explain herself and feel overly guilty for every minuscule choice. Like her extreme short dress that was clearly from the night before. She pulled it down turning to her mother “Did you have a good flight?” @fleurdufrance
the click of noir - lacquered heels / eagle eyes , sharp as ever , pick through the details of the room . her girl is not wholly thrilled to see her ; that much she can tell without so much a glance in her direction . that much she had spotted from a mile away . ❛ well , i wasn’t having as good a time as you’ve clearly been having , but a flight is a flight , darling . ❜
