The fascination was evident to see on the young womans face, and couldn’t help the affectionate smile growing on his face as thoughts of home came to mind. “I did, aye. Horses, sheep and pigs too.” Cameron chuckled, nodding. “Chickens are nice enough, noisy wee things though, always clucking away. My favourites were the horses.”

her smile only grew, a few soft chuckles falling from parted lips as she listened with bated breath. “those little noises they make, the clucks, those are my absolute favorite.” she interjected as he went on, her head shaking as he went on to speak of horses. “i once saw a servant kicked by one, dislocated his entire jaw, it was terrifying.. i haven’t been near a horse since.”

“Well I am terribly sorry to disappoint.” Karina bowed her head, chuckling as she raised it again. “I was born in Sweden, however I have been living in Denmark for the past three years as it is my husbands home.”

there was no denying the youngest of the de rohan clan was a child at heart, one that made friends by sparing a joke or two and she hoped that was what she could accomplish now... she would need friends in the coming days. “all is well,” she began, her right hand raising to push the hair off her left shoulder. “your husband? is he handsome?”

emmy smiled, bowing her head towards the floor. “of course, my lady. i would be more than happy to show you around.” she smoothed out the wrinkles on her skirt. “whenever you desire- or your duties permit you to do so, i shall guide you. it is really very beautiful here.”

“shockingly, i am a woman without duties. so i suppose i desire to do so now.” jolie mused, taking one step to the left to allow the girl to lead the way. “after you.”

demetrius just rose an eyebrow. “And I would assume you do not know the difference between kindness and flirting,” he mumbled but nodded. “There’s water almost everywhere you look and the most beautiful architecture. And its almost always warm all year around. Unlike here.”

it was very obviously a joke, a little innocent teasing to bring about a smile on the others face, but jolie was beginning to think this lack luster grumpy appearance was all this man had to offer. in fact, the blonde was so out of sorts by his demeanor towards her that she only decided to mirror it, making her voice as dreary and uninterested as possible. “sounds... nice, i suppose.”

“That was not my intention, my lady. My sincerest apologies.” Emmy spoke softly, tucking some of her hair behind her ear. “Well, I grew up in the laundry quarters. I know every odd and end of this place. It’s gardens and corridors…”

never would jolie deny just how interesting she found those of non noble blood, there was something about living a life without the formalities and placements that made the young woman curious... especially now. “perhaps you could show me every odd and end of this palace. i’ve been here nearly three months and i have yet to see anything other than the same three rooms.”

“–Why, isn’t that a delicious observation,” the Prince offered, accompanied with a sheepish grin. “Perhaps I am.” Of course there was no denying that the charming man was flirting. He had a reputation for being particularly friendly with the ladies back in his home country. “In truth, m'lady, I’m not sure what to tell you. England is, in a sense, a neutral place. Moderate climate, beautiful scenery, the best food, wine, and people. However, I may be partial to them over others out of bias.”

it had only been recently that jolie had been gazed upon by anyone outside of her child home, in fact, her arrival at versailles had marked the beginning of her true descent into womanhood. and this man, this prince, had been only the second to speak to her in such a deliciously immoral manner. “one could only pray that you are.” she grinned, one hand moving the hair from her right shoulder to gather it all on the left, allowing her neck to be showered in the forthcoming light. “i believe every person is partial to their homeland.. except those who have seen nothing but.”

“Well I’m sure that many will try and flirt with you, I’m afraid that I didn’t mean for it to come across that way.” Karina chuckled, amused by the young woman. “Denmark is a beautiful country, however my homeland Sweden will always be my favourite.”

“pity, a woman so lovely. i would have been honored.” jolie teased, a faux disappointment about her before her lips pulled into a smile. “wow, you’ve lived in both denmark and sweden? i cannot tell you how envious i am.”

“I believe you were mistaken my lady, or at least I did not intend for it to be that way.” Cameron smiled politely. “Scotland is a wonderful place, very green and not so grand as this. Although I am simply a farmers son and guard, so perhaps the castles may be.”

the young blonde would have been lying had she said she wasn’t completely enamored by foreigners and their foreign lands. and perhaps the fact that this man was not only from else where but a commoner with a different view on life made him all the more intriguing in jolie’s eyes. “a farmer?” she questioned, tone childlike as her gaze settled on him, her fist now supporting her chin. “did you grow up with chickens and goats and cows? i rather love chickens but my father never allowed me one as a pet.”

“Jolie de Rohan, we cannot always have honors and opportunities showered on our heads,” Bérenger snapped. “Sometimes–ofttimes!–we must play our parts to the best of our abilities and expect nothing but the satisfaction of good work in return. I would be happy to see you well-placed–and you are. Think of the larger picture. How should anyone believe the Queen’s integrity if she grants arbitrary favors to her friends’ little sisters and steals her step-mother’s ladies for her own?”

jolie could feel her chest growing hot with anger, her grip on the flowers tightening as she looked at the floor and then back at her brother. she was no child and she swore sometimes that bérenger forgot that. “did it ever cross your mind, sweet, sweet brother..” she began, voice soft despite the storm brewing within her, one hand rising to rest on his cheek lovingly. “that it is i who look at the larger picture and you who focuses on the details, the pleasantries and the formalities.” her hand dropped the moment her sentence was finished, side stepping her brother completely to find her way further into the gardens.

“if i knew any better, i’d assume you were flirting with me.” the young woman spoke, one eyebrow quirked in a playful manner as she teased the stranger she had casually struck up conversation with. “in all seriousness, tell me more about where you’re from...”

I finally have a day off tomorrow guys so I will be on then, can't wait to love the newbies 💕

“No.” His countenance darkened immediately, the even pleasantness that for him passed as affection hardening into a scowl. “I might be placed to do so, but I certainly will not. I am surprised at you, Jolie.”

Bérenger crossed his arms. “Is this why you’ve taken to raiding the garden for flowers? You’re already dame du palais to the Queen Dowager; that is honor and privilege enough, I think.”

jolie doubted the queen dowager would do any favors to her or her bastard child and even asking so would be an insult to her position. but charlotte, surely she would want to protect a child that shared her father’s blood. jolie’s infant would be a sibling to the current queen... to the dowager it would only be a remainder of her husband’s infidelity. “an honor that offers me no ascension. what can the dowager queen bestow upon me?” and maybe she seemed greedy, maybe she came off as a social climber, and hell, maybe she was... but in her own mind, jolie was doing what needed to be done to insure the safety and legitimacy of her child. surely, once that came to light her brother would look back with a certain understanding. “if i offer my talents and company to the queen, i might be granted opportunities that i will not be otherwise and as my brother i had expected you to wish such a thing for me.”

A little wrinkle appeared between Bérenger’s brows. “Who on Earth do we entertain in Versailles? Perhaps father might want for a little help, at the estate … but really, it would be better for you to stay here, with me. You could perhaps start a salon. Does any particular topic intrigue you?”

perhaps she had not thought her answer through.. perhaps she had not thought any of this through at all. not that that wouldn’t have been typical of the youngest of the Duc de Rohan’s children. She had been spoiled by their late mother but ignored by their father and maybe, just maybe the combination of those two things had little an all too eager fire within the pit of her belly (though that wasn’t the only thing that had made its home there). 

her brows furrowed at her oldest and only brother, one hand rising to rub awkwardly at the nape of her neck for a moment as she tried desperately to come up with some sort of answer. “perhaps i can be a lady to her majesty? i’m sure she’s in need of well educated women to surround herself with... surely..” a beat passed before she pressed the issue more. “maybe your friendship with her would allow you to suggest such a thing..”

“Not necessarily strong,” She hummed, shrugging slightly. When she was handed the rose, she smiled at the blonde and tilted her head towards her. “Thank you,” She said before nodding. “It is lovely out here.” 

jolie often wondered how strong women denied their strength.. made her wonder of their past or their present. but regardless of that fact the girl smiled, taking two steps to the east. “would you like to walk with me? its such a lovely day and i would hate to waste it away with no one by my side.”
