I was watching some scenes from that soap opera again and it reminded me of how much I liked Princess/Empress Leopoldina.
She was serving up a lot of cunt, and besides the actress being great, the costumes are great.
I'll leave it here for anyone who's curious to see it, as always, she's my fancast for Queen Aemma.
Translation of the conversation:
"Besides, that's what bothers you, isn't it, Domitila? The fact that I am Pedro's legitimate wife. That I am the mother of his heirs. And now, that I am his Empress."
"It doesn't matter. His eyes will always be on me."
"I am the one who can enter through the main door, my dear. What's left for you is the back door, bribing people who are equally unscrupulous."
"...You used to be more polite."
"It's Your Majesty!" *pause* "Your Majesty. That's how you should address me. That is the burden of royalty, and not for everyone. Not for just anyone, including someone like you."
"...Your Majesty, you are offending me."
"And your presence offends me, my family, and this country. Leave this room immediately, or I myself will remove you with my own hands. And believe me, Domitila, I will enjoy doing it."
