❝ THAT LIST WOULD have been really long were i still in my twenties but in my forties ? i believe there's only one item: don't let her mother kill me. lovely woman, you'd adore her. he rsvp'd but i haven't spoken much to him lately. or anyone. ❞

❝ YOU'RE A VERY difficult woman to buy presents for. ❞ and one who'd hold it against him for the rest of his life if he didn't get her anything for valentine's day. the trip, the dinner, the boat, none of it would hold his case if there wasn't a present to tie it all together in the end. he knew that. what he didn't know was what to get her. not at first. ❝ but i think i did a good job. open it. ❞ he set the box in front of her and waited for matilde to open it. / @matildcs

❝ IS THIS A revenge thing ? i marry your sister so you go and impregnate your wife and make sure she gives birth at my wedding ? ❞ that was the kind of situation people on reddit would spend weeks discussing. to sergi, however, it was nothing but a joke. they'd set a date long after andrés announced he was going to be a father for the 30th time and nobody couldn't plan when to go into labour. ❝ at least now, unlike you- ❞ his eyes now turned to simó now. ❝ he has kids born in barcelona. ❞ / @simondouba + @vndrcs

[svrgic]

❝ COME IN, PLEASE. ❞ he didn't care if it looked bad that he'd be alone at home with his ex, standing at the door while talking to her felt way more uncomfortable. ❝ god, i had forgotten about the french girl. that being your full-time job now, where would you say you are in the vitalyia vorontsova scale of motherhood ? ❞ he tried his best to hold back the smirk that forced its way into his features once the question came out but it was useless. ❝ you could have. but maybe not doing it was the best you could've done. i never needed an apology, zhenya, i needed a reason and you gave me one. in the end, the only life i could offer you was one you didn't see yourself living. that's something we could never change and i understand that. even though i refused to at first. ❞

"Sergi d'Aragó," she mimicked him with a smile on her face. "Summer weddings are generally liked, yes." She didn't want to do small talk... but if she was being honest, she hadn't come with a profound message to pass him. Her feet had just led her to his door. "Playing a step-mom. It's ah... a weird situation back in Karelia." She felt bad for the d'Orléans girl! She couldn't participate in the propaganda when she could see the end goal so clearly. If her mother was given two years, the future monarch of Belarus would be no more than a puppet. "I'm not sure if I ever properly apologized. I could have given a warning before abandoning you."

❝ EVGENIYA ZAKHAROVA. ❞ the tone of his voice didn't hide the surprise and amusement of hearing hers. the soft timbre sergi didn't think he'd be hearing for a long time still. ❝ thank you. apparently summer weddings are the standard or so i was convinced. yeah, she's even better at it than me to be honest. ❞ but as much as he looked like the conversation was one he enjoyed, it felt unsettling speaking with zhenya about his wedding when a few years back he was sure she'd be the one walking down the aisle towards him. ❝ and what have you been up to ? ❞

"I wanted to– I'm just passing through but I heard the news. So I needed to stop by to congratulate you. The date sounds perfect for a wedding. Matilde handling the limelight well?" [ @svrgic ]

[svrgic]

HER ALWAYS DEFYING demeanour was perhaps the most entertaining part of his every night; there was rarely a moment where he could predict where matilde's mind would go and every destination amused him to no end. ❝ oh ! who'd you choose as the victim-- sorry, participant in tonight's quest ? ❞

          much is to be said about the smile that plays on her lips at the fond memory of a soaking wet french king and the disdain he hid etching into his features with each passing minute. a prideful turn of events that sergi remains right about, twice would be too coincidental. “ he was the only one who complained last time. ” she notes matter-of-factly and a raise of crimson red shimmering shoulders. “ you should know pools are very last year. ” a towering cake is taken into view, too expected. “ and maybe the french are too. ”

❝ TRY NOT TO throw any monarchs into a pool this time. lower titles are fine, i don't think anybody would care if the duke of swabia died of hypothermia, but were it another king- ❞ or the same one. ❝ i would lack on arguments to defend your case. ❞ / @matildcs

❝ I STILL DON'T know why i'm catching strays here. i didn't do shit. in fact, you should be thanking me for not getting involved in his shit. ❞ / @vndrcs

[svrgic]

❝ I WAS THINKING something more along the lines of the next ten months. ❞ he wondered if that was an awful way to approach the subject, even if he wasn't at all proposing. no, he was testing the waters, to see where her head was at so then, and only then, start thinking of actually taking the next step. ❝ plus, in ten years i'd be over fifty. you'd say no. ❞

          a staggered reaction fluttered across her features, much more accustomed to commentary surrounding her and barbie's findings he'd overheard in another room. “ you mean in the next ten years you might live up to your end of the contract? ” assumptive that any current monarch would have another decade reign, but so had he been the day matilde was approached with the document.

[svrgic]

❝ MONTHS ? I REALLY do need to get out more. ❞ but he wasn't going to. ❝ yes, welcome to the programme. either nothing happens or every possible thing happens within a week. ❞ and those were the only interesting ones. ❝ i've been well, not much has been happening with me. but you must have a reason to be joining us. political ? ❞

patting the other man's hand on his shoulder and then holding onto his wrist, slightly laughing, ti turned his face slightly in sergi's direction. "a few months ago, i think. time passes quicker now that i'm here and so much has been going on. how have you been, friend?"

[svrgic]

❝ FIRST OF ALL, i'm not andrés' babysitter. second, you're insane if you think i was going to insert myself in that fight to stop it. ❞ he turned to andrés quickly. ❝ i love you, man, but i wouldn't throw myself on the ground for you. ❞ not in uniform. ❝ third and most important: i almost started cheering when he locked in that hadaka jime, do you not know me at all ? plus, even if he did throw in the first punch, the turk sought him out to start the whole thing. ❞ at least that's what andrés had claimed. ❝ the narrative is there, just play it publicly. ❞ / @vndrcs

"Happy? Feeling good about yourself, gif guy? Because this might enter the list of the dumbest shit you ever pull, " it was easier to excuse that behavior when they weren't attaching a fucking title to their name. " and you," pointing over to Sergi. "Couldn't you knock some sense over him or are the two of you useless when I'm not around. Worse than my kids, man and both of them are under the age of five."

❝ I DIDN'T THINK i'd be seeing your face for a long while. ❞ sergi said with an arm wrapped around the other king's shoulder. ❝ when did you arrive ? ❞ / @ti-wonge

[svrgic]

❝ THE ENTIRE TAKING the high road mentality is the reason these events are boring. ❞ he nodded. ❝ humour me, what would your petty revenge be were you in their place ? ❞

" i'm THOROUGHLY disappointed by the lack of spine the guests here have... " his glass got pointed at the spanish princess, then her sisters-in-law. " i thought they were supposed to despise the italians. "

HMM

oh how we’re happy he’s finally anywhere other than barcelona. his outfit has nothing to do with it though, he looks boring in uniform just like most monarchs but sergi’s appeared with a brand new accessory this time and it is none of the golden things on his chest. rather something on his arm. dianna yi. the south korean princess and the catalan king arrived at the coronation with linked arms and no interest to put us out of our misery by confirming a relationship. but hey, at least we know he’s not going through yet another eight years single ( but never alone ). will catalonia find it’s queen soon ?

❝ I'M ACTUALLY CUTTING down my caffeine intake but thank you. ❞ he knew the drink the person placed on that table wasn't for him and they likely only wanted to take the empty seat across from sergi, that was just his way of saying he wasn't interested in company.
