he almost replied immediately but the moment his lips parted, he realized he had nothing to say for himself. at face value it seemed like a horrible move. a disastrous one. “ prussia is different from the other duchies. prussian history is polish history as well. we’d be drawing prussia closer. it’s worth the risk. ” he firmly believed so. “ poland is more unified than germany, we get along and respect our dukes and duchesses. there’s a difference. ”

“That depends entirely on whether you have a realistic view of the risks.” Europe was nothing but a barrel of gunpowder. It was best to shake things up as little as possible. “What kind of a deal are you offering her? What is she offering you? Sam, I’ll support you, of course, but I’ll struggle if I think it’s plan lunacy.”

he wasn’t sure if it was his place to share even a detail of the plan with an outsider but this was femke. his uncertainty manifested as a pause he held after being urged to talk. “ she wants to break away from germany. she’s decided it. with those two other germans doing whatever they are doing in the southwest, she thinks she has the perfect opportunity to do so. the crown’s power has diminished. ”

Femke could only blink at him. While it was no surprise that Elyse had goals of her own and ambition like no one else, this was a lot. “And how good an idea do you think supporting a noble’s independence plan is when you’re a prince? If she succeeds, a lot of people will start having ideas. Is it really the message you want to send?”

Elyse felt as though she was about to get in trouble at boarding school. “Femke,” the duchess matched her tone and turned to face her. “What can I do for you on this fine day?” 

“What exactly are you dragging Sam into?” Straight to the point, the two of them were past wasting time on meaningless chitchat. “Must you include him in your plans? We’re living in a very volatile world right now.”

“Elyse, a word if you please.” Usually her voice had just a hint of artificial warmth in it when she addressed the grand duchess but not this time. ( ** @elysefz​ )

“ if only bash were ten years younger... i’d ground him for being one of the first people to start throwing food. my dress came back from the dry cleaners and it was stained. they couldn’t get the chocolate out of it. ” ( ** @armanicatherina​ )

[bastivvn]

he looked at the scene unfold himself. he should have been too old to feel giddy at the sight but there was something terribly tempting about a food fight. it only happened on tv. his hand twitched a bit and he looked around before spotting the chocolate mousse desserts. he took the tray and turned to the person next to him. “ want to form an alliance ? ” ( @hshqstarters​ )

[zvhrvsg]

“Bastiaan Jan van Oranje-Nassau, don’t you dare to even think about it.” She looked at the food that was about to go to waste: there was no way her would overpower the devilish side of his.

❝ I know this is a surprise visit but I really needed to talk to you and it had to be done in person. ❞ What a way to be overdramatic. However Louise had big news. Not the kind she wanted to share on the phone. ❝ Femke, I’m pregnant ! ❞  ( @femkelotte​ )

[zvhrvsg]

Femke had nearly rushed to the front hall when she had been informed of Louise’s arrival. “Oh I don’t mind. You gave me a reason to tear myself away from work,” Femke assured her as she drew back from giving the princess cheek kisses. “Pregnant? You’re pregnant? With a child?” Her eyes were wide and her lips were beginning to form a smile.

she doubted it, but wasn’t going to question her mother. “i do have someone in mind, but whether he decides to come will be up to him.” klara tittered somewhat, bristling at the thought of being scrutinised when she should be above reproach. “why? are you thinking of someone for me?” someone to be her consort and represent the netherlands by her side   it was by no means an easy future.

“But you’ve invited him? That’s what’s important.” Oh, the news were wonderful! Femke really wanted Klara to find someone to share her burden with. “Should I be looking for someone? I never thought you’d go for one of my suggestions!” She hadn’t wanted to name someone only for Klara to avoid them on purpose. “Who did you invite? Do I know him?”

“Incredibly pretty,” Femke corrected him, having come up with a more accurate word. “No, I don’t think so. Bash settled down quickly enough.” Thank God for Nylane. “And I don’t think Oli... Ah... There was Olimpia Croÿ. She’s... I can’t remember where she is now but I think she’s somehow related to Gabi. But Gabi’s mother is so lovely. Aunt Isabela’s sister.”

“maybe.” her lips were pursed, she knew exactly what her the point of the question was     and she’d rather not risk showing all her cards when she knew her sister might be bringing the future tsar of russia.  “but i know i’m thirty and people keep harping on about a wedding, i don’t know if i’d want put someone through all that.” ( @femkelotte​ )

“But we’re not like other people. We behave... when needed.” Everyone had such colorful personalities and a knack for witty one-liners, sometimes things got out of hand at the Oranje-Nassau-Czartoryski household. “But are you thinking of someone?”
