UGH
“I told your brother, girl,” Antoine drawled, entirely bored with his life being threatened at this point, “that I’m on your side. Feel free to chop my head off, but it’ll be entirely counterintuitive. And I thought you were clever.”

Why won't you tell me what happened to you? Don't you think I deserve to know?
Of course you deserve to know. But I don’t know how to tell you. I wish I wasn’t so scared to share it with you, but I couldn’t bear to see the look on your face change to pity when you look at me.
Are you still afraid that someone will finally release the truth about your son being a bastard?
Though he has many supporters, I fear even our combined strength would not be enough to keep my little souris on the throne. Where he rightfully belongs.
△ Do you like being a puppet for the Cardinal's plans?
There’s a difference to him in being a pawn and a puppet. He may not have been comfortable with everything he had to for the Cardinal, but he did still have a choice there, in which he chose to serve. Ruthless as Armaud may be, he isn’t without his humanity, and Herbert knows that. Everything he did was to lay the foundation of a better France, and to weed out those that seek to sabotage their plans to reach that goal, or so he chooses to hold faith in. While he can’t say that he is completely content with the role he is to play—somewhere in him knowing that he is just another glorified tool for Armaud, as disposable as the rest— he is ready to die before he would betray his loyalty.
Rating: 4/10 He does not like being doubted for what he chooses to put his faith in, he does not like people suggesting to him that he is not aware of his purpose to Armaud, but it doesn’t bother him when he could set people straight were they to question him.
J♣️ A♠️
J♣️ - Who does your muse trust the most?
Honestly, Santiago is so used to self-reliance that the person he trusts the most is himself. Though he’s friendly with the people in the court, he’s not naive and knows that many of them have their own agendas.
A♠️ - What was the most painful loss your muse had to go through?
His parents. His mother’s loss is a blur because he was so small, but his father’s death is much more recent and fresh, and even if it’s given him immense opportunity, it hurts to have no family left.
Plot Please! (AU and/or Canon)
out of town: after months of training, it’s time to see whether Simone can blend in. Sybille has scored an invite to one of the most talked about balls of the year, and she has a spare plus one. Now it is time to see whether Simone, introduced as her relative from the country, can fit in. However, each of them have their own ulterior motives in this ball, Sybille in finding something to blackmail the host with, and Simone in gaining access to the study and gaining intel for Le Bande.
au! eye spy: Sybille Delacroix is a woman who is known by many names, but not her own. As the top spy of the DGSE, she has it all; the clothes, the guns, the lovers, the car. All she lacks is responsibility. Enter Simone Baptiste, graduated top of her class in the academy, technology genius, and level headed. The perfect foil to Sybille’s languid, instinct driven approach. Their first mission is supposed to be easy, something to test Simone in the real world. But the mission soon blows up (literally) and Sybille and Simone find themselves in a plot that goes much, much deeper than a simple gala.

19. If you had to judge your muse and sentence them to a “fair” fate, what would your judgement be? Would you punish them? Reward them? How?
I mean, sybille has done some pretty shady things in her life, but she’s been handed a pretty unfair hand of cards. She’s a little bit morally apprehensible; for a moralistic view she’d deserve punishment, probably to the tune of ironically falling in love again only for them to use her and toss her to the side like she does to everyone else. But at the same time I want to make her queen of france/the world because i love her.

13. What about your muse makes you sad?Armaud will never be happy or content, and he knows it. He doesn’t really have friends anymore, or even confidants with whom he could share his experiences. As long as he’s in a position of power and without allies–and he’ll never really have an ally as he’s much too suspicious–he’ll always be left wanting. He’s resigned himself to a life of loneliness. 19. If you had to judge your muse and sentence them to a “fair” fate, what would your judgement be? Would you punish them? Reward them? How?Ehhhh. Mostly I ask what purpose the punishment or reward would serve. Is this like a Minos deal, where I judge his soul to heaven or hell, or is this something more corporeal? Punishments should serve as deterrents so as not to repeat bad behavior, but often they’re used as examples of what might happen, to the audience at large? For whom am I making Armaud an example? Mostly I’m asking what scale I’m working on.If big, go to heaven I ain’t sending a dude to an eternity of bad shit for a lifetime of bad shit. If smallish, yeah give all your money and stuff to the poor and go to jail or something. lmao
