@swandopted liked for a starter

"Your Highness." Marie-Alexandra greeted, the younger girl with a smile.

Her maman had explained that the girl was much like Marie's own mother had been, not born a princess but thrust into it, by fate. Except there was no story of true love to ease the transition, Princess Alise had suffered a great tragedy, there was no pretending otherwise, but she was safe, and loved. That is what mattered, the fact that she was now a princess, was only an after thought.

"I'm Marie-Alexandra. But my friends call me Marie. It's a pleasure to meet you."

      𝘐𝘛  𝘞𝘈𝘚   incredibly  refreshing  to  be  meeting  with  someone  who  had  had  somewhat  of  a  similar  upbringing  to  her  own  for  a  change  .  at  least  ,  that  was  the  impression  that  nessarose  had  gotten  of  the  other  at  this  point  in  time  .  she  wanted  to  come  off  as  cool  and  sophisticated  ,  the  way  one  in  line  for  a  position  of  power  should  ,  but  there  were  possible  bumps  in  the  road  at  every  second  .       ❛  it’s  almost  embarrassing  to  admit  ,  ❜  she  says  ,  trying  not  to  allow  a  sheepish  grin  to  surface  in  all  of  the  excitement  .  one  can  teach  a  child  how  to  behave  in  isolation  ,  but  without  the  experience  of  socializing  ,  they  will  never  fully  be  prepared  .  ❛  but  i’m  feeling  a  bit  nervous  to  be  here  .  ❜

@swandopted liked for a starter while I icon!

"Your Highness, may I have the next dance?" King George asked gallantly.

George had no granddaughter of his own to twirl around the floor. But he was fond of the young visiting princess, and wanted to help her feel more comfortable and enjoy herself at the ball that had been thrown in her and her parent's honor.

"Shall we?"

@swandopted liked for a starter with Rowena

To sing for any royal person is an honor.

That Rowena knows, she could just as easily be back at the orphanage, so Rowena sings as beautiful as any song bird.

Finishing her song, Rowena sank into a deep curtsy as the audience applauded.

Then, she is approached by a young girl, a young girl wearing a lovely dress and a tiara.

The young princess, Rowena realized.

"Your Highness, it has been an honor."

@swandopted liked for a starter with a queen and got Leah!

"Hello, Your Highness. Your Mama tells me that this is your first big event as princess. If you need a break come find me and we'll find somewhere quiet for you to slip away too." Leah said smiling warmly at the child.

"Perhaps we can get you some sweet buns."

‘ you’re making me nervous, actually. ’ from Alise @swandopted

@swandopted

"Do I?" Marguerite ask smiling to herself, she had managed to establish herself as the little girl's governess in this new land, it was hard work, but it did provide position for her two daughters and herself.

"Well, that is because, I am a great lady. And you are just a young girl, who was lucky enough to be brought into the royal family. Listen to me, and I will guide you to being a proper princess."

      𝘚𝘏𝘌  𝘍𝘙𝘖𝘞𝘕𝘚   at  the  two  of  them  ,  despite  alise  assuring  her  that  he  means  no  harm  .  nessarose  knows  herself  that  he’s  just  blunt  (  much  like  how  she  can  be  ,  at  times  )  ,  but  now  is  hardly  the  day  for  the  truth  .       ❛  he  didn’t  cancel  on  me  because  of  this  ,  ❜  nessa  says  ,  snatching  back  the  card  that  she’d  spent  all  night  working  on  ,  trying  to  perfectly  curate  it  for  that  special  someone  .  ❛  he  didn’t  even  get  it  yet  .  alise  ,  tell  your  friend  that  it  was  just  a  misunderstanding  ,  and  a  conflict  of  pre - existing  plans  !  completely  out  of  his  control  .  ❜

✧･ﾟ  @swandopted​​  asked  :        “it’s okay if you’re mad. it’s okay to be angry and it’s okay to cry and be sad.       it’s okay to not be okay at all.” (during their shiz years maybe?)

      𝘐𝘛  𝘞𝘈𝘚   exactly  what  she  needed  to  hear  ,  and  almost  immediately  she  chokes  back  a  sob  .  the  week  had  been  stressful  ,  to  say  the  least  ,  what  with  all  that  had  happened  regarding  her  sister  .  people  were  rude  to  her  without  any  remorse  ,  constantly  reminding  her  about  the  rumors  that  had  come  from  the  emerald  city  (  rumors  that  nessarose  simply  wouldn’t  believe  were  true  )  .       ❛  alise  ,  i  don’t  know  what  i’ll  do  ,  ❜  nessa  says  ,  allowing  the  tears  to  fall  freely  now  .  there’s  no  point  in  hiding  it  anymore  --  not  when  she  was  in  a  safe  space  .  ❛  she’s  gone  now  ,  for  who  knows  how  long  .  you  don’t  understand  ;  i  was  the  only  thing  preventing  her  from  leaving  sooner  ,  and  now  not  even  that  matters  .  ❜
