THE LAST OPTION

- - - - - 72 HOURS BEFORE GENERAL ELECTION - - - - -

A SECRET LOCATION • EASTON • NOVEMBER 2025

[1??]: We agreed to wait until after the election. We don't know if the Democrats will choose him!

[2??]: We do know and we can't afford to wait. Once he becomes PM, he is sure to act quickly!

[3??]: I disagree. I think we have better odds waiting. Even if he becomes PM, he will be in a fishbowl. His every decision will be monitored. He'll be weak.

[1??]: Exactly! His party would turn on him if he went rogue.

[2??]: He's already gone rogue. His allegiance will always be to Oasis Springs. I vote we move now. Release this information now! Tonight! The election is in three days!

[1??]: No.

[3??]: No.

[4??]: No.

[5??]: No.

[6??]: No.

[7??]: No.

[2??]: Fine! Mark my words, if we wait we lose our leverage, and we lose our power. The Similati would be no more.

[2??]: (leaves)

A SECRET LOCATION • EASTON

[6??]: Thank you for meeting again. I just...

[5??]: You can't tell them!

[6??]: What other option do I have? He is bound to leak the info himself, he's so eager to move on Udaku.

[5??]: There must be another way.

[6??]: Keller!

[5??]: Keller?

[6??]: He's the only other option.

[5??]: It's risky. What does your gut say?

[6??]: That I should see Keller.

[5??]: Good luck!

10 DOWNING ST • EASTON

Queen Katherine: Prime Minister.

Linwood Keller [P.M.]: For a few more days.

Queen Katherine: Don't say that. The polls haven't even opened yet!

Linwood Keller [P.M.]: Let's sit in my study.

Linwood [P.M.]: I can read the country, ma'am. They hate me. Plus, I've been so ill I haven't even been able to campaign for my other MPs. I'm the party piranha... or scapegoat.

Queen Katherine: You have given your life to serve our country. You are a hero! You're fighting for the nation while also fighting cancer.

Linwood [P.M.]: Thank you, ma'am. So, what do I owe the pleasure?

Queen Katherine: I just wanted to see how you were. Check up on you myself. I know election season can be quite stressful.

Linwood [P.M.]: Yes, well, it's all about how we manage it. Right?

Queen Katherine: Absolutely.

Linwood [P.M.]: Have you heard the rumor about Udaku? That he's working for the OS?

Queen Katherine: I heard. Do you think it's true?

Linwood [P.M.]: Who knows? The press will believe anything these days, without even checking sources.

Queen Katherine: (silence)

Linwood [P.M.]: If it's true, he would be asked to resign from parliament.

Queen Katherine: That could happen?

Linwood [P.M.]: We'd have the votes to move his party to act.

Queen Katherine: (silence)

Queen Katherine: Well, I've taken enough of your time, Prime Minister. I'm sure you have lots of pre-election things to do.

Linwood [P.M.]: Thank you for your visit, Your Majesty.

DIRECTOR | There's her car! EMILY | ... FREDERICK | ... EMILY | I should have worn a hat. FREDERICK | What?

author's note: although it's an IRL latin american vulgar slang term for cunt/pussy, I'm using it here as a kind of fictionalized vulgar term used in Armorica to refer specifically to a mistress or to the girlfriend of a married man (I just watched the Sopranos, but I felt like 'goomar' would've been distracting..,). I wanted a term that'd convey that Everard is an old-school misogynist who doesn't fully grok that women are human persons, but I also didn't want to use any of the IRL terms with their associated baggage. ANYWAY! gender.

Blackwell Palace / September, 1994

TV ANCHOR | ...I'm Celeste Alford-Huff, and this is Celebrity Access Now. [intro theme] CELESTE ALFORD-HUFF | Blackwell Palace has yet to comment on the infidelity rumors swirling around Crown Prince Andre, who was caught on camera with Wavewatch star and three-time Gigolo cover girl, Anita Garcia. OLIVIA | Oh, this is fucking bullshit. ELISE | Shhh! MAN ON THE STREET | ...I think it's just despicable. Him, with a wife and two kids at home. He's got no business runnin' around with actresses. OLIVIA | Okay, fuck this! ELISE | Olivia! Don't climb on the furniture! OLIVIA | It's fine— OLIVIA | What's up with the boohoo shit? ELISE | Olivia, what are you talking about— OLIVIA | Why are you sitting around in a robe watching daytime TV? The Elise I know would've castrated the motherfucker by now. OLIVIA | Seriously. Fucking divorce him. ELISE | Divorce isn't an option for me, Olivia. OLIVIA | Why not? This isn't the first time, and I'd bet it won't be the last. ELISE | [sighs] Promise me you won't tell anyone... EVERARD III | ...you're the fucking Crown Prince, who the fuck is she? EVERARD III | So you've got a little concha on the side, who the fuck cares? ANDRE | Grandfather, please— EVERARD III | Don't fucking interrupt me. Where was I? EVERARD III | Let me give you some advice: don't let her win. Keep your concha. You've got forty years left on your ticket, and if you give in now, you'll be giving in every day for the rest of your life. Don't let that bitch get you by the balls. ANDRE | D-don't speak about my wife like that! EVERARD III | I'll say what I fucking want, boy. Listen to yourself! You can't rule your household, how d'you expect to rule the Kingdom? EVERARD III | Buck up, son. You just have to get that woman back under control, and then everything will be fine. You'll see. [knock on door] ELISE | [weeping] OLIVIA | [ineffectual patting] OK, there there. That's enough. Um, chin up. ANDRE | Elise? Honey? Can we talk? OLIVIA | [muffled] Fuck off! ANDRE | [muffled] Damn it, Olly! Unlock the door! OLIVIA | Drop dead, asshole. ELISE | [tiredly, offscreen] Olly, please... OLIVIA | Andre, you are the scum of the earth. You don't fucking deserve her. ELISE | [tiredly] That's enough, Olivia... ELISE | [in voiceover] ...it's time I spoke with my husband. ANDRE | ...maybe Olly's right. I'm a complete sack of shit. What are we even doing? ELISE | [sighs] I'm pregnant. ANDRE | Wh— Lees, are you sure? ELISE | I'm late, my boobs hurt, I've been feeling like crap. It's my third pregnancy, Andre. Of course I'm sure. ANDRE | How far along? ELISE | I dunno. A couple weeks. My last period was in July, but— ANDRE | [breaking down] I'm so sorry, I'm such a fuck-up— ELISE | Darling... ANDRE | Andre, listen to me: all I want in the world is our little family. You, Roz, Freddy, this new baby...I just want you to be a husband to me and a father to our children. ANDRE | I can do that. ELISE | Promise me you got...whatever it was out of your system. Promise me. Because...I'm not doing this again. [breaks] I can't do this again. ANDRE | I love you, Elise. ELISE | No. Promise me, Andre. ANDRE | ...I promise.

Royal Wedding of Robert and Alexandra Part Three, Windenburg

Previous | Beginning  | Next

[palacesims]

Ophelia of Lausanne, Queen of Windenburg (1620-1673) - Part 2 - Marriage

Ophelia grew up to become a beautiful princess, one of the most desirable brides on the continent. It was proposed that Ophelia be a bride to her cousin, Victor Emmanuel, Crown Prince of Tartosa, or Prince Louis, Duke of Vendome. King Louis IX wanted Ophelia to marry his grandson, Prince Louis Duke of Vendome, however, Prince Louis wanted to marry an Infanta of Almeria. The Grand Duke of Sienna courted Ophelia in 1634, however marriage negotiations fell through over disagreements about her dowry. 

In 1634, James, Prince of the Isle, heir to Windenburg, visited Lausanne on his way back from Tartosa. James had desired the hand of Princess Anna of Tartosa, however, the marriage negotiations failed. Windenburg had desired peace with the Jacoban Kingdoms after fighting against them for the last thirty years, with the peace being cemented through marriage. After the rejection of the Tartosan marriage, James suggested a Magnolian match in order to forge a new alliance with Magnolia. James stayed at Chateau Moren for three nights on his journey back Windenburg. James had traveled incognito under the name "The Earl of Ely" and was invited by Ophelia's father. James met Ophelia and was instantly enchanted with her grace and beauty. James and Ophelia were only one year apart in age and were smitten with one another. James immediately wrote to his father, the King of Windenburg, asking for his approval, which he relented. On his way back to Windenburg, James stopped in Magnolia to negotiate with King Louis IX of Magnolia and Ophelia's father, Prince Louis Henri for her hand in marriage. King Louis gave Ophelia a dowry of 1.8 million livres along with a trousseau of 150 garments. Ophelia brought an entourage of 40 servants, 12 ladies in waiting, 4 clergymen, and 10 noblemen. James returned to Windenburg, while Ophelia married James by proxy in Magnolia on January 5th, 1635. Ophelia traveled to Windenburg where the official ceremony took place at St.Michael’s Cathedral on February 16th. A private Jacoban service was officiated in the Salon of Diane at Windslar Palace.

Elaborate celebrations followed the marriage of James and Ophelia. Later that night, a lavish banquet was held at the Great Hall of Windslar Palace. A medieval costume ball was held the next day followed by a firework display in the gardens. A festival honoring Ophelia and her entourage was hosted the day afterward which featured ballerinas and dancing animals in the gardens of Windslar. A play depicting the love of Cupid and Psyche was performed in the gardens. A jousting tourney was held at Verdun Palace on the third day of celebrations. Several more banquets were held throughout the capital hosted by multiple nobles including the Duke of St.Germaine and the Earl of Warwick.

Ophelia of Lausanne, Queen of Windenburg (1620-1673) - Part 1

Hey guys! So over the last three months I've been working on the life story of Ophelia of Lausanne, one of the Queen Consorts of Windenburg during the 1600s and I've made a LOT of renders of her so I just thought I should share about her life :)

read about her BELOW

Princess Ophelia Thérèse Marie Hélène Françoise of Lausanne was born on August 27th, 1620, to Louis Henri II, Prince of Lausanne, and Princess Marie Thérèse of Magnolia. Ophelia’s paternal grandparents were Charles Joseph, Prince of Lausanne, and Princess Isabella of Calabria. Her maternal grandparents were King Louis IX of Magnolia and Princess Elizabeth of Windenburg.

 Ophelia was born at Chateau de Angouleme, King Louis IX’s favorite country residence. At the time of Ophelia’s birth, her father had been overthrown as Prince of Lausanne and sought sanctuary at his father-in-law’s court. Ophelia’s mother, Princess Marie Thérèse, was King Louis' favorite daughter. The King was delighted with the birth of his granddaughter and organized several court entertainments in honor of her birth. Ophelia and her family initially lived with the King and traveled with the court between the King’s numerous residences. The Royal Governess, Marie Charlotte de Rohan, cared for Ophelia and her cousins during her infancy. 

Throughout the 1600s, religious conflicts had plagued the continent which resulted in Lausanne being occupied by Peteran Forces. In 1623 after the conclusion of the War of Religion, the Treaty of Emden restored Ophelia's father to his throne. Ophelia and her family returned to Lausanne later that year and resided at the Chateau Moren. Ophelia was joined by two younger siblings who survived to adulthood, Prince Henri, and Prince Maurice. Despite residing in Lausanne, Ophelia, and her family often visited her grandfather, the King of Magnolia. Princess Marie Thérèse appointed her close friend and childhood companion, the Marquise de Villars, as governess of her children. Ophelia had a simple education, very typical of princesses of the time. Ophelia learned multiple languages, was a skilled musician and dancer, and learned horseback riding. She had a strict Jacoban education, overseen by the Bishop of Lausanne. Ophelia had a close relationship with her brothers who she would correspond with for the rest of her life. Many letters survive between her and her grandfather, detailing their close relationship with one another. On her 13th birthday, her grandfather, the King of Magnolia, gifted her ten stallions and a golden state carriage which currently is in the Windenburg Royal Collection and is used during official events.

Ophelia was considered beautiful and intelligent. She was a skilled musician and singer, enjoyed reading, and spoke seven languages. She was an accomplished woman for her time period and was extremely athletic. As a granddaughter of the King of Magnolia, she was considered a desirable bride by the Jacoban monarchs of the continent.
