thinking about queen stellasteria verse and how ... by all accounts she should not be queen, but at the same time how amazing she would be because she is actually quite good at politics despite dodging it most of her life.
#it takes talent to dodge politics the way that she did ---#she made herself important enough to not be discarded by imperial captors#but also irrelevant so no one will ever place her in a seat of power that belongs to her siblings#she is observant#she is capable#she knows how to play her part and act in accordance to expectation#she knows the struggles of the dead#and therefore would be able to empathzie with the living better and just ...#im sorry she's a fleuret and therefore it's her birthright to be a powerhouse#she also has a pretty face and charming smile like --- she // can // do it#but i know its also something // she doesnt want //
