Who wore it better

[ask-the-iron-queen]

what does kathernie's head look like with out a crown?

Katherine: Oh, so you’d rather have me tell them!

Lady Foster: What in tarnation are you even doing answering questions from strangers? Honey, I thought we were supposed to discuss important matters regarding Project Lazarus.

Katherine: …wait. What seems to be the matter? I thought you put a stop to that project 20 years ago.

Lady Foster: Yeah, well the reanimated corpse of a talking dog just showed up at our doorstep so I think now would be a good time to discuss it again since, oh you knowwwww, someone may have recreated the project for themselves and we might be in imminent danger. 

Katherine: Oh no…

Lady Foster: Yeah. “Oh no” is right. If anything else like Archie pops up again we’re fucking doomed. 

Katherine: W-what do you suppose we do?

(More under the cut!)

Lady Foster: I don’t know, your majesty. You tell me. You’re the one running this whole shitshow.

Katherine: I-I never wanted this… This is why I need you. Help me out. Take care of this… You’re the one that talked Fernando out of it!

Lady Foster: God, it’s no wonder people are plotting rebellion. Maybe they’re right, you really don’t know what you’re doing, do you? And to top it all off, you don’t have a damn spine.

Katherine: Look, I know I was suddenly put in this position, but Fernando left this job to me for SOME reason. He knew you too, and he didn’t give you the crown! 

Lady Foster: Well he had the hots for you, not me. He really used his head when he made that decision… and I don’t mean the head sitting on his shoulders.

Katherine: No. It can’t be that. That can’t be the reason. He’s not some sort of goddamn idiot. Besides, what do you know about running a country? Why don’t you sit here and handle the Revenant War and a possible rebellion and trying to run a country in the shadow of the Renaissance King? And Aurora seems to have taken Cortez away and GAH. Listen, Mel - I go through enough and I’m not going to have someone who doesn’t know what it feels like push me around!


Lady Foster: …wow.

Katherine: Please, just. Take care of it.

Lady Foster: Right away, your majesty. 

Katherine: I-I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to-

Lady Foster: No no. It’s fine. Props to you, Kat. You really do have a spine in there somewhere. That’s why I let you shove me around.

@Kathrine: If you met your past self, what would you tell yourself?

Katherine: …If you don’t know who I’m talking about, dear, you’ll soon find out. He isn’t what he seems to be after all. Heh, he’s the reason why I am who I am now and trust me - being a queen isn’t as marvelous as it seems… Not in the least.

When Katherine had blinked, the image that was her younger, more vivacious self had suddenly disappeared, sending the queen into a frantic state of panic.

“…S-sweetheart? W-Where did you go?” She called out to the braixen that was her nearly three or four decades ago. 

Her breathing grew more and more unstable while her heart rattled her ribcage. She could feel anxiety gripping at her lungs and trying to stop her from breathing. Was she going mad, or was Aurora playing games on her again? All kinds of grim predictions coursed through her brain before she finally regained composure.

“Huh. That’s… strange. I guess m-my younger self must’ve run off somewhere. that’s all.”

Now collective but still paranoid of the situation, Queen Katherine began to talk to herself while pacing about the castle grounds.

“…O-Oh dear, I must’ve imagined all of that. Haha, silly me! I must be losing my damn mind from all the stress. P-perhaps I should get some rest… YES, rest. That will do me well. T-Tomorrow is a new day after all, Katherine…”

Since night had fallen, the exhausted delphox then retired to her quarters for the night, trying to push her worries about her people, Aurora, Johann and her absent son Cortez deep into the concave of her mind.

[ Katherine seems to slowly lose her grip on her own emotions. She could fall apart any second! ]
