Princess Isabella of Verona’s black mourning dress in Episode 01.

The series is based on the play Romeo & Juliet which is said to to be set in Renaissance Italy somewhen in the 14th or 15th century. The series also draws inspiration from 16th century fashion and later. That is why I sorted it into 14th, 15th and 16th century tags as well as fantasy.

“Claire Riesen….you’ve the last one I expected to see. Getting bored up in your tower?” He took a sip of wine. His armor was covered in blood from the battle he had just been in a few hours ago.

[xxheartofamessangerxx]

Gabriel blinked both in confusion and shock. No one had dared lay a hand on him let alone slap him. They would have been dead in an instant. He did not have time to react before her lips were once again on his. This time she had started it. He kissed back deeply. His hands wrapping around her waist pulling her even closer. “See? Even you are far from innocent.” He would be lying to himself if he did not admit silently that he enjoyed that moment.

[princessriesen]

Claire pushed Gabriel away and put her hand over her mouth, as the magnitude of the situation set in. “That was a mistake.” She glared at him. “You did something to my mind or something.” She ran her hand through her hair as she tried to gather herself. 

[xxheartofamessangerxx]

Gabriel shook his head. “I did nothing. I do not do sneak attacks, remember? You may think what you did was a mistake yet I can tell you enjoyed it. That was under your own will power. You wanted that.” He smirked. “I can’t say that I did not like it.” It had been awhile since he had been with a woman. He respectively gave her the space she needed.

[princessriesen]

She crossed her arms as she tried to piece together what she had just done. “You’re Vega’s enemy Gabriel. As passionate as that was…” She paused, her emotions battling it out for control. One side wanting to grab a weapon and try to finish this and the other wanting to grab him and continue where they left off. “I have to put Vega before myself. So unless you’re willing to make some adjustments, you can forget what just happened.”

It felt as if a supernatural power was pulling her to him, she didn’t understand it but couldn’t help but blame the archangel in front of her.

[xxheartofamessangerxx]

“It will be quite difficult to forget that, my dear.” He could feel the pull as well. It was unlike anything he had ever felt before. It felt… happy. “Why does Vega and your own needs and desires have to be two completely different things? I could, if you asked nicely, leave Vega alone. ” The only reason he focused on that particular city was because Michael was there.

[princessriesen]

Claire turned to look at him in disbelief. She didn't trust him for a minute. But there was that pull again, screaming at her just to accept the offer and jump back into the Archangel's arms.

"What's the catch? What are you trying to achieve here Gabriel? Play with my emotions to manipulate me and Vega?" She started to get angry, she was confused by these feelings and she didn't know how to handle it.

[fetch-me-a-block]

“You honor me, Khaleesi, “ she said, but it was no honor, only service.

Claire sat on her balcony, curled up in a chair, in her pyjamas reading a book. She tucked some of her unruly curly hair behind her ear and noticed a figure out of her peripheral. She looked up with a jump. "Oh god, Michael you scared me!" She put her hand over her heart as she calmed herself. "You are alarmingly quiet."

Wings fold. Feathers rustle. Head tilt, a nod. ❝ My sincerest apologies, princess. Witnessed your room's glow during patrol and grew suspicious. Alarmed. But, if all is well, I should leave. You seemed at peace, and I wish not to disturb. ❞

@princessriesen

[princessriesen]

Claire immediately closed her book and set it on the table next to her. “Of course not Michael!” She stood and walked past him into the room. “If you’re here you might as well keep me company. I could really use it right now.” She walked over to the table that held the wine and whiskey. “Although I thought Noma was my guard tonight. Did something happen?”

[blxsscd-x-fxrsakcn]

@princessriesen

[princessriesen]

She chuckled ironically at Michaels words. She opted of whiskey, needing something stronger. “I’ve only been Lady of the City for a few months. There’s always something on my mind. Trying to rework our government was not something I was prepared for.”

Claire sipped her drink. “If they haven’t tried to kill me they sure have thought about it.” She sat on the elaborate sofa. “Maybe I should come to you for advice Michael.”

[blxsscd-x-fxrsakcn]

❝ We all have our own challenges. And this is yours. Your mantle, your inheritance. ❞ Seated beside. Wings withdraw, disappear. Brief sips, amber swirled. Delightful burn.

Quick glance. Brow lifts. Soft hum. ❝ Do not give that opportunity. Let them think you're continually three steps ahead, princess. Underhanded, yes, but necessary. ❞

@princessriesen

[princessriesen]

Claire brings her feet up to the couch, under her. Too exhausted to continue the professional facade. This was her room where she could be herself. “I always thought I’d have Alex to lead with me. But I don’t think he ever had that intention.”

She smiles as she listens to Michael’s wisdom. “Ever since I was little you were always around Michael. Frozen in time, a pillar of our survival. I need to be a pillar and remove any cracks in the foundation.”

@blxsscd-x-fxrsakcn​

[blxsscd-x-fxrsakcn]

❝ He will, perhaps, grow into his role. As have you. But, for now, do you wish for me to remain the pillar at your side? ❞ Blues soften. Settle on that face. Framed by relaxed rich curls. Maybe it's the whiskey, but he wants to reach. Brush them aside with his fingers.

No, he reminds himself. Doesn't Alex still love her? What about Noma?

❝ You will need anything and everything these people - and myself - can give. ❞

@princessriesen

[princessriesen]

Claire gently shook her head. "Alex could never stand with me. He has his own purpose. Things were once more simple but I'm not that innocent anymore."

She rested her head against the couch as she watched Michael. She often found herself stairing, memorized by the Archangel. "You're always welcome at my side Michael. I am very grateful for you."

Claire looked out the window of the jeep at the desert that surrounded Vega. A few of her ladies sat together murmuring about themselves but she was not listening. Claire had been sent on her first diplomatic mission without the guidance of her father and she was afraid. Though the princess would never show it. The desert looked so empty, it was hard to believe they were at war when all she could see was nothing.

Their presence was announced by a large body hurling itself into the side of the jeep, sending it spinning off course. The window was smashed and the driver was dragged screaming out of the jeep.

Side door was ripped open, and the sole Angel Corps member who could be spared as protection immediately started firing on the intruder.

“Get away from here, Lady Riesen. I’ll hold them off as long as I can.”

[waywardlightbearer-archive]

princessriesen​:

Claire woke a day later. Her hands stretched out over the cot, thinking she was home in Vega. She slowly sat up, not opening her eyes yet, unwilling to let the sunlight in. As consciousness crept back in, the events from the last couple days replayed in her mind. She opened her eyes to a strange room, frantically trying to put the pieces together.

Her head wasn’t pounding anymore and her vision wasn’t blurred, no more concussion. She cautiously touched her stomach but there was no pain, no more broken ribs. Looking down at her body she saw she was still covered in bruises. How could her more serious injuries be healed but the bruises were still here?

Claire instincts immediately kicked in, as she scanned the room for a weapon. Right now she had to keep herself safe long enough to figure out how to get home.

There were soft giggles in the corner of the room. Two pairs of eyes belonging to identical faces peeked out at the stranger from behind a chair.

Lucifer huffed, pulling the children out from their hiding place. “What are you two doing here?”

“The Desert Lady is awake!”

“I can see that. You probably woke her with all the noise you’re making. Run along now.” He nudged the kids out the door. It was a futile effort, he knew, as they would most likely be back in a few hours with more questions, but for now they were gone.

He turned to the woman. “I apologize for that. How are you feeling?”

[princessriesen]

Claire watched in shock as the man ushered two children from the room. There were children here? So this must be a safe place. But there was no safe places besides the major cities, especially in the middle of the desert.

It warmed her heart to see the two children smile and her panic started to calm.

She finally looked at the man’s face, she was almost certain it was the same man from the desert but her eyes were so blurry, so she couldn’t be certain.

“I feel fine surprisingly. The last I remember I was a mess... what is this place? And who are you?” Protecting herself quickly became the top priority. 

[xxheartofamessangerxx]

@princessriesen

“Claire Riesen….you’ve the last one I expected to see. Getting bored up in your tower?” He took a sip of wine. His armor was covered in blood from the battle he had just been in a few hours ago.

[xxheartofamessangerxx]

“Innocent? The only truly innocent are children. None of which I have harmed.” He pointed out. He even let Alex grow to adulthood before really putting effort into pursuing him. Yet history reads differently. David’s image came to the forefront of his mind. His composure changed slightly. That was the day everything changed for him. If humans could murder a child than they were not worth protecting.

“My Father abandoned humans as well. You were supposed to be his greatest creation. However, here you are on the brink of extinction and he does NOTHING!”

[princessriesen]

At that Claire’s composure snapped. Rage came over her face and without hesitation she got into the face of the Archangel in front of her. “You’ve harmed no children?! Are FUCKING joking?! Because of you and your FUCKING war my baby is DEAD!” She snarled into his face. “You are responsible for all of the pain Vega has had to go through! All the pain I’ve had to go through. You are the furthest thing from righteous!”

[xxheartofamessangerxx]

Gabriel stood his ground at the rage filled woman in his face. He was calm. A bit eerily so. “Did I pull the trigger on you? I do not remember being in Vega recently.” He stared her in the eyes. “What do you plan to do about it? Just yell at me?” He knew he was playing with fire. To be honest he did not mind dimming by her hand yet in that moment he kissed her deeply.

[princessriesen]

Claire was in a state of shock that within a second of a shouting match, his lips were suddenly on hers. She furiously pushed Gabriel away out of reflex. Still heated from their argument, she struck him across the face. 

Breathing heavily from the overwhelming situation she had suddenly found herself in, she looked at his face for a couple seconds as her brain tried to catch up. But adrenaline still pumping in her veins she grabbed the Archangel by his collar and dragged him back to her lips.

“You shouldn’t bundle up your troubles baby brother.”

@princessriesen

[princessriesen]

Raphael smirks. “Oh little brother.” She gently ran her fingers against the back of Michael’s head, patting his dark hair. “We must be careful with love. As immortals it can be painful. As you already know.”

@blxsscd-x-fxrsakcn​

[blxsscd-x-fxrsakcn]

A nod. Blues close. Heavy sigh. Lean in to the touch. ❝ Mine was given to another, freely, and it cost us. Naiveté laid the foundation for betrayal. But, I do not want time to claim this opportunity. How does one go about telling the one they fancy that they love them? Without looking a fool ? ❞

@princessriesen

[princessriesen]

Raphael softly chuckled. “ ‘We are all fools in love.’” She quoted.

“Even as higher beings be can’t be perfect in all that we do. Father knows that. Michael you don’t always have to be the stoic brother. Maybe look too Gabriel in this. He is our heart.” She kissed his temple. “It is okay to move on instinct sometimes brother. Do what your heart tells you.”

@blxsscd-x-fxrsakcn​

[princessriesen]

Open

“What are you looking at?”

[princessriesen]

❝ Bet you didn’t think I’d come back to life. ❞ ( Gabriel )

Claire smirked, she would never tired of Gabriel’s sass. Truthfully she aspired to it. With the corrupt politicians she had to deal with daily, her attitude was a strength. “To be honest Gabriel, I’ve become accustomed to your ability to be impossible to get rid of.” She crossed her arms as she stood her ground.

Lazy brow arch. Sideways grin. ❝ That missile you so lovingly dropped? A child's plaything compared to what I've faced. ❞ Hand reaches. Lazy spin of a globe. Drumming rhythm of fingers.

❝ That being said, how's your grip on queenhood - besides the cutthroat powerplays, broken city and rebelling populace? ❞ Venomous contempt. Hinted smirk. ❝ What was it the ancients said about Rome's fall? Ah, yes - a great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself from within. ❞

@princessriesen

[princessriesen]

“Mmm...” She took a seat, crossing her legs. “I figured that bomb wouldn’t kill you, but it sure was fun to try.” She smirked.

Claire watched the Archangel carefully. “In order for Vega to be reborn it may need to turn to ash first. And I will burn out every impurity in order to keep my people safe.” She raises her brow.
