if you could be friends with one of your characters who would it be? who would you be least likely to get along with?
Hi Anonyme!
Thanks for the ask!
This is so good! I’d want to be friends with Juliette only because she seems like my least problematic character 😂
I would NOT get along with Simon - but would anyone really?
And no one asked but I would marry KB. No explanation needed

Do you have any worldbuilding details you have developed but may not be important enough to highlight within the story or give its own post but you'd love to share anyway?
Hi,
Thanks for the ask and sorry for taking ages to respond!
The only thing I can think of at this moment is the comparison between the landscape of Saliceau and Warborough
I’ve mentioned in passing that Saliceau has a lot of nature and forestry and parks so walking and hiking is pretty common. But they don’t have a lot of gardens and flowers which is what Warborough is more known for

Good morning
It is such a joy to be back at Palais de Saliceau after a brief period in the hospital. The palace does not seem to have changed much while I have been away, I'm glad
(Laughter)
I wish to thank all of you gathered here, and all of you watching and listening from across Saliceau, and beyond. Thank you for your patience and support for the monarchy and all its constituents over the recent events of the past few months.
This recent period has been an extremely trying and difficult time for the country and the monarchy. And I suspect that there are very few people or institutions unaffected by these last months of uncertainty and controversy
No section of the community has all the virtues, neither does any have all the vices. I am quite sure that most people try to do their jobs as best as they can, even if the result is not always entirely successful
There can be no doubt, of course, that criticism is good for people and institutions that are part of public life. No institution should expect to be free from the scrutiny of those who give it their loyalty and support, not to mention those who don't
But we are all part of the same fabric of our national society and that scrutiny, by one part of another, can be just as effective if it is made with a touch of gentleness, good humour and understanding
This sort of questioning can also act, and it should do so, as an effective engine for change. As the famous was hero of Warborough, Winston Templeton once said "to improve is to change; to be perfect is to change often". This is true of everything, including the monarchy
In light of such reflections, the power-holding Duchies of Vitali, Casiraghi, Berger and Evannesce, along with the monarchy have come together in agreement to a change in the order of succession
Therefore, from this moment, I create Princess Isabella, Duchess of Marseille and Saint-Lyon, heir apparent to the throne.
With Prince Matthew beside her, our new Duchess and Duke of Marseille and Saint-Lyon will, I know, continue to inspire and lead our international conversations and bring the marginal to the centre ground where vital help can be given...
Good morning...

Jennie: Jackie, I'm worried about you
Jacqueline: I'm fine Jen
Jennie: No, you're not. You're barely eating and you've locked yourself in here for weeks. I know the announcement must've been really shocking but you can't paralyse yourself
Jacqueline: ...
Jennie: Whatever else is going on, you need to talk to someone. Call Frankie, she won't like seeing you like this
Silence
Jennie: I don't know if this would help but... Jackson's been found
Jacqueline: What!?
Jennie: He was found not too long ago just in the middle of nowhere on some island near Aila. The police are still investigating it
Jacqueline: Where is he now?
Jennie: At home with his parents...
Mr Keller: Thank you for coming Jacqueline, though I must admit, I'm surprised to see you here
Jacqueline: I came as soon as I heard...
Jacqueline: Is he...?
Mr Keller: Yes, he's here. He hasn't been taking any visitors besides the police but... you should be okay
Mrs Keller: I think you have a visitor
Jackson: I thought we agreed to no visitors besides police
Mr Keller: Just see who it is first before you start complaining
Jacqueline: Jackson.. Oh my-
Jackson: Jackie?
Jacqueline: Oh my gosh
Jackson: Jackie what are you doing here?
Jacqueline: I heard from Jennie that you were out and I...
Jackson: Relax Jackie, okay? I'm fine
Jacqueline: No! This is not okay! I'm so sorry
Jackson: Look? See? It's okay, I'm fine
Jacqueline: No! It's not! I-I'm so sorry

Juliette: ...Well?
Isabella: Well... what?
Juliette: What do you think?
Isabella: About?
Juliette: Maman, I mean about Ted
Isabella: ...
Juliette: I really like him maman
Isabella: Juliette-
Juliette: I love him.
Isabella: ...I think this relationship is highly inappropriate. He is your teacher and he abused his position to seduce you
Juliette: Maman, if anything, I'm the one who seduced him
Isabella: Juliette, You're a grown woman and you can make your own decisions but I will not risk adding more fuel to the fire the media is currently burning
Juliette: I understand
Isabella: I don't think you do. Whatever is going on between you and Thaddeus must not see the light of day. No one must know besides the four people in this room right now.
Juliette: Okay
Isabella: We will be making the announcement in two weeks and as soon as this is done, you will be the centre of attention. Press will be following you everywhere. Everything you do will be under more scrutiny than ever before
Isabella: That means the two of you must not be seen alone in public together, at all! Whatever this is must be done in secret.
Juliette: For how long?
Isabella: Until I say so
Juliette: Maman!
Isabella: Be grateful I'm not asking you to end it immediately. You are asking a lot from me right now Juliette.
Juliette: (surprised) ...I-I understand. I'm sorry...
Isabella: All the privileges of privacy you've enjoyed until now will be gone in two weeks. So make the most of it.
Juliette: ...Okay
Isabella: But no sex. ever. I mean it
Juliette: Don't worry, that won't happen... no matter how hard I try
Isabella: Excuse me?
Juliette: Nothing
Isabella: I'm starting to dislike him a little less already

Isabella: What do you want with my daughter?
Thaddeus: Ma'am?
Isabella: Be honest. Is it popularity? Money? Do you like her because she's young and makes you feel 'alive'?
Thaddeus: I'm an Evannesce ma'am, I assure you I have no need for popularity or money. And I don't need her to feel 'young and alive'. I'm 31, not 60.
Isabella: I cannot accept this until I know your motive
Thaddeus: I thought Robyn would have vouched for my character
Isabella: ...What?
Thaddeus: Robyn assured me she had spoken with you and vouched for my character
Thaddeus: Ma'am?
Isabella: No
Thaddeus: What?
Isabella: No!
Isabella: You're a part of the institution?
Thaddeus: An... affiliate of sorts
Isabella: And you want me to give my daughter to you?
Thaddeus: Ma'am-
Isabella: Robyn called me alright. She told me my daughter was dating an intelligent man from an honest background with a successful career. That's it!
Thaddeus: Ma'am-
Isabella: Not only are you too old for her but you were planted by the Institution! They sent you to keep an eye on her and the best way you could do that was to toy with her and use her as a hostage against me?
Thaddeus: Of course not
Isabella: What is it then? You expect me to believe all this was a coincidence!?
Thaddeus: Your highness, I do confess to being planted by the institution as a professor at SNU to watch over the princesses, not to spy on them. But what happened between myself and Juliette was something even I didn't see coming
Isabella: I still can't accept this
Thaddeus: (sighs) With all due resepect ma'am, I have to ask you to to think about this objectively and rationally.
Isabella: Excuse me?
Thaddeus: Unless your intention was to marry Juliette off to a royal from a different nation, you will find no better candidate for her partner in Saliceau besides me
Thaddeus: I am an Evannesce. Being Juliette's partner would give the royal family full support from Evannesce and by extension, most of the public. I am older than Juliette, so you need not worry about immaturity. I have three degrees and a professional career, so my competence is of no concern. I am accustomed to this lifestyle so my adaptability will not be an issue.
Thaddeus: And above all these things-
Isabella: -You work for the institution
Thaddeus: Above all these things, I love her! And I will continue to do so. So you need not be concerned for her happiness or her safety as long as she is with me.
Silence
Isabella: If anything happens to my daughter, I will make you regret your entire existence
Thaddeus: I will not betray your trust ma'am
Isabella: Trust? Make no mistake, I do not trust you. Nor do I trust Robyn or the institution, not anymore.
Isabella: For now, I will simply keep an eye on things from afar

Juliette: Are you nervous?
Thaddeus: No, should I be?
Juliette: Is it bad if I say yes?
Thaddeus: (laughs) I mean... I've never met your mother but I know she's a scary woman
Juliette: What? My mother is the sweetest person you'll ever meet
Thaddeus: Maybe to her daughter, but not to everyone else
Juliette: You're overreacting Ted
Thaddeus: I'm not too sure about that...
Matthew: Are you ready?
Isabella: Yes, why?
Matthew: Because I'm going to kill that sonofab*** who thinks he can have my girl
Isabella: She's a grown woman Matty
Matthew: Not to me
Isabella: Besides, they've only been seeing each other for a few months. This is hardly taking her away
Matthew: Exactly, so why do we have to meet him? Do we even know anything about him?
Isabella: (sighs) No
Matthew: Robyn didn't mention anything? Not even his name?
Isabella: Not even that
Footman: They have arrived your royal highness
Isabella: Look alive Matty! You're about to meet your future son-in-law
Matthew: Not funny!
Juliette: Hello maman
Isabella: My dear. You look beautiful
Thaddeus: Your royal highness, it's an honour to meet you
Isabella: Lovely to meet you...
Thaddeus: Thaddeus ma'am
Matthew: Thaddeus...what a nice Salician name
Thaddeus: From Eversen, sir
Matthew: Eversen! I had the pleasure of visiting shortly after we got married
Thaddeus: I'm sure Eversen United would be thrilled to have you back soon sir
Matthew: Haha! Good man!
Isabella: Men and their football
Matthew: You know, you look familiar, might I have met your parents?
Thaddeus: Actually-
Juliette: Can this wait until after dinner? I'm starving
Isabella: Of course, let's go
Matthew: Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
Isabella: He looks awfully similar to...
Isabella: It can't be
Matthew: Right?
Isabella: But the resemblance is uncanny
Matthew: What are the odds?
Isabella: So, Thaddeus
Thaddeus: You can just call me Ted ma'am
Isabella: Ted... lovely
Matthew: So Ted, what is your last name if you don't mind my asking
Thaddeus: It's Evannesce sir
Matthew chokes
Thaddues: Are you alright-
Matthew: Yes, I'm fine
Isabella: Evannesce... as in you're the son of Toussaint Evannesce?
Thaddeus: Yes ma'am
Matthew: Interesting...
Isabella: I didn't know the Duke had any children still in university
Thaddeus: I'm not in university ma'am
Isabella: Oh? Juliette told me you met on the university campus
Thaddeus: Yes ma'am, I teach at the university
Matthew: You're a professor... at SNU?
Thaddeus: Yes sir
Isabella: A professor, not a student
Thaddeus: That is correct ma'am
Isabella: Thaddeus, how old are you?
Juliette: Maman! That's rude
Thaddeus: It's alright, I'm 31 ma'am
Isabella: 31! And you don't think you're too old to be dating a 22-year old?
Juliette: Maman!
Thaddeus: I did, but Juliette didn't. And I told her I would be alright with it as long as she was
Isabella: So you coerced her into dating you
Juliette: Actually I asked him out first
Isabella: -Juliette
Juliette: I don't see what the big deal is
Isabella: The big deal is that he is a teacher at your school. This relationship is inappropriate and, to some extent, illegal
Juliette: Ted has not been fully hired by the university yet and no one knows about our relationship but us four so it's neither inappropriate nor illegal
Isabella: Juliette!
Juliette: Maman!

Addison: So... anything?
Maxime: (sighs) Nothing
Crystal: Dang Maxi
Addison: What happened?
Maxime: I've been to his house every week since the stupid news broke out and not once have I gotten to meet his brother
Naomi: So much for our hot ticket
Crystal: Don't give up girl. You said he doesn't come around often
Maxime: Yeah, that's what Mrs Zhang said
Crystal: So, then why not ask when he is going to be around
Maxime: Really? With what excuse? "I just want to meet the whole family"? I thought the plan was not to give the impression of becoming a part of the family?
Crystal: Then your only option is to stick it out and hope one day he shows up
Maxime: Or... take another approach and find someone else
Crystal: You're giving up on a hot ticket after only a few weeks
Maxime: Months, Crystal. It's been months!
Addison: Fine then. How about you give it another month
Maxime: Addi-
Addison: Just try it, okay? If Shin doesn't show up after another month, then we'll figure out a plan B.
Maxime: ...Fine

JJ: I'll need you both to act cool, okay?
Mrs Zhang: What do you mean? We are cool
JJ: Cool people don't say that
Mr Zhang: Calm down JJ, your mother and I know how to act. We're cool
JJ: It's not about that. Maxi is going through a rough time right now and I don't need you guys making her uncomfortable by talking about it or ogling her because she's royalty, okay?
Doorbell rings
JJ: She's here! Please!
Dad: Fine, fine. Go!
Maxime: This is such a lovely picture
JJ: Thanks, it's the whole family
Maxime: How nice
Maxime: Who's this?
JJ: Just some random-
Mrs Zhang: That's our firstborn, Zi Xin. But we all call him Shin.
Maxime: Oh... I didn't know you had a brother
JJ: Yeah well now that he's rich and famous he thinks he's too important for his own family so why would I even mention him?
Mrs Zhang: JJ, he's busy! So obviously he can't come home as often.
Mr Zhang: Besides, he calls every week to tell us how he's doing. You would know this if you would unblock his number on your phone
JJ: Why bother? It'll just be a waste of my time
Mrs Zhang: Well he doesn't consider it a waste of his, and isn't his time worth more than yours right now?
Maxime: -So if Shin is short for
JJ: Zi Xin
Maxime: What is JJ short for?
Mrs Zhang: Jun Jie
Mrs Zhang: It means outstanding. Because he's my outstanding boy
JJ: What dod we talk about?
Mrs Zhang: (laughs) Right, be cool
JJ: (mutters) She's so embarassing...

Olivier (over the phone): He should be arriving soon
Francine: Thanks Ollie. I owe you one
Olivier: If you're grateful, get him out of my apartment
Francine: Hey...
KB: Ollie told me you weren't here
Francine: He lied... I asked him to
KB: (sighs) I'm leaving
Francine: Wait! I need to talk to you
KB: Well I don't want to talk
Francine: KB, please
Francine: I'm sorry... and you're right... You know that I'm not used to affection because I never got much of it growing up since Jackie was always the favorite
Francine: It was hard at first but I got used to not having anyone to confide in and learned to cope. And I was fine until you came along and somehow you knew how to handle my emotions.
Francine: I know I have Jackie and Jules, but Jules can come off as a bit patronising sometimes and with Jackie... it feels like I'm talking to a child... but you get me. And I guess I became dependent on that. On you.
Francine: And then I noticed you had feelings for me and it scared me because I was afraid of changing what we already had and putting our friendship at risk.
Francine: Then I realised my feelings towards you were changing too and it freaked me out because I had to try even harder to avoid what was becoming inevitable.
Francine: So I started drinking and drinking more. I tried hooking up with other guys to get you out of my head but every time I closed my eyes you were all I could think of. I tried so hard, I ended up in the hospital with alcohol poisoning.
Francine: I needed a constant in my life and it was always you so the fear of you not being there anymore, for any reason, terrified me. But I can't fight it now because I love you and I know I can't deny it anymore.
Francine: I don't know when it started but somehow I've reached a point where I know I can't live without you-
KB: I love you Frankie. And my feelings will never change. I'll remind you every day if you need me to.
Frankie: I'll hold you to that. Every day.

Isabella: Jackie
Jaqueline: Yes aunt Bella?
Isabella: Are you alright? You don't look so well. Have you lost weight? Are you even eating properly?-
Jacqueline: (fake laugh) I'm fine, I think it's just the stress
Isabella: I know things are difficult right now and with what I've just told you I'm sure they won't be getting any easier. I'm so sorry my dear but please come and talk to me if you need anything
Jacqueline: I will, thank you aunt Bella
Francine: Hey, Jules?
Juliette: Hm?
Francine: Can we talk? In private...
Juliette: What's up?
Francine: I don't know if you heard but KB left
Juliette: No I didn't hear. Left to where? What happened?
Francine: We got into a fight and things got really heated so he left. I haven't seen or heard from him in a week.
Juliette: Is it bad?
Francine: Probably the worst fight we've ever had
Juliette: ...How can I help?
Francine: ...How...How do you know when you're in love?
Juliette: (gasps) Frankie-
Francine: Don't patronise me okay? I'm just asking a hypothetical question
Juliette: Is this about KB?
Francine: Is it necessary for you to know?
Juliette: It'll affect my response
Francine: ...Then yes
Juliette: You and KB have a complicated relationship because he's had feelings for you forever and he's always known it but you've always thought he was joking. And when you realised it was true, you chose to ignore it.
Juliette: In your case, your first interactions were friendly and it stayed that way for a long time. It's possible your feelings have grown and you might've mistaken romantic affection for platonic fondness-
Francine: -Get to the point please Jules
Juliette: Okay, okay. I'll ask you a few questions, and you don't need to tell me the answer but you do need to think about them.
Juliette: How do you feel when you think about him? Do you wish he would appear in front of you? Does he bring a smile to your face? When you see him, does your chest feel tight or does your heart start racing?
Juliette: How do you feel when you're with him? Do you want to be closer to him? To touch him? To kiss him or even more? Do you feel safe when he's around?
Juliette: Can you live without him? Does the thought of never speaking to him again scare you? Does the idea of him happy with someone else make you angry, or sad?
Juliette: If you have more yes's than no's, then the answer you're looking for is yes.
