“No, my lady. It’s amusing that you feel you don’t.” 

“ first and foremost, i am not a lady, and secondly, i have had as much training in the art of war as befitted for a ruler and i assure you, i am not one to trifle with. “

“ it’s amusing that you believe i need help. “

“The key of course, is to remain calm.”

“Well, as true as that statement may be, would you not be more comfortable coming and sitting down?“ Karina smiled at them, quirking her eyebrow.

“ you are forward, for a swede. interesting. “ they took a seat across from the queen, crossing one leg over the other.

“ MILLIONS of people in the world and somehow an idiot like you manages to land control. a pity for your people. “

“ to admire from afar is no less captivating than closer proximity, lyubim. “ zhenya rested their body on the door frame, arms crossed across their chest. 

“Are you going to come in and join me, or just remain standing there?” Karina chuckled, glancing up at the person who had just appeared at the door.

Marie furrowed her brow at the strange reaction of the Tsar. Surely they knew she was Queen Charlotte’s younger half-sister? After all, the princess thought she had been present for every foreign guest’s arrival. It must’ve been her mistake to forget to introduce herself again. There were so many people at the chateau nowadays that it was no surprise the other had not recognized her. ”Ehm…I’m Marie Capucine de France, Your Majesty.” She introduced herself finally. “I apologize if I caught you by surprise in any way.” 

“ no, no, it was no harm, really. i am not good with... what’s the phrase? new surroundings. “

they eyed the platter of pastries before deciding to hell with it, and carefully extracted one. zhenya bit into it, sighing with content.

“ france does have extraordinary food, my lady. ”

zhenya gave a slight chuckle, well, they mouthed. the word ended on the tip of their tongue. it felt like a prologue to something more. yet, it could not fully capture the pride they felt in their kingdom. “quantify well, mademoiselle.”

Charlotte strolled through the Versailles Orangerie, guards trailing behind. She acknowledged her companion with a small smile, brown eyes sweeping over them. “You are doing well, I hope?”

zhenya was startled; they had not ever seen this woman before. had she slipped into the castle maliciously? aside from, the woman intrigued them, for new faces, especially with their usual routine in their small country were few and far in between. they tipped their head to the side, vaguely reminiscent of a dog,

“i... well, i suppose i could... indulge you with my, erm, presence.”

they sat down beside the mystery visitor, visibly stiff. zhenya dared not take a dessert, for fear they’ve already done enough damage.

The sun streamed through the large floor to ceiling windows; filling the drawing room with afternoon light and nearly blinding the young princess as it glimmered off the golden decorations. She was nestled comfortably on a tufted chaise, hand lingering over a selection of pastries as a maid refilled her glass of champagne, when she realized someone had been standing by the door. “Hello,” Marie Capucine sat up and bowed her head in a curtsy. “Why don’t you sit and join me? These pastries are absolutely divine.”

hey new friends !! i’m darce, they/them and i’m such a fucking nerd for history and so i’m s u p e r stoked to a. get back into the rp game and b. be a fucking nerd with more people who also like history. below the cut is kind of an intro to zhenya, who is also a big nerd and i Love them with every fibre of my being

anyways,,, 

they’re the tsar of bulgaria which is in this    m a j o r   cultural revival because they’re finally getting out from under the big players on the world stage and bulgaria is like fucc !! art !! technology !! philosophy !! conquering shit !! (to clarify, zhenya is like fucc b/c they’re super studious but also kind of not in the way that they’re super fr*ckin hyperactive and impulsive which i’ll get into later) but this causes this rift between zhenya’s advisory court and them bc they’re like This Fucking Kid Man, who has no self restraint and is probably simultaneously the smartest and dumbest ruler Probably Ever but they’re not doinng Half Bad

and like let me stress just  h o w  impulsive my dumb kid is ??? like they almost pissed germany off to the point of almost war b/c they heard that this one town had really nice fruit ?? ok that’s a simplification b/c bulgaria was kind of in a teensy famine but still ?? i htae.

but they’re also ridiculously smart and whenever they talk academically everyone is like What Wow I Did Not Understand That So I Guess It’s True (which is really helpful when you’re a ruler but not so helpful when you can’t create any meaningful connections with people because you just Do Not understand how smart you are)

and that kinda leads into how they’re kind of a tactless mess (b/c they’d be considered on the autistic spectrum if that dealio exists in this canon) and are like, The Most emotionally guarded person because they’re really Fr*ckin scared of screwing things up (my poor kiddo) b/c of Shitty Ass Parental Connections and so whenever they do get thrown into emotional situations they’re basically the human form of keyboard smashing

but omg i haven’t talked about how Extra this hoe is. like i Love them but they need to Fuckin Chill. it kinda goes along with the impulsiveness but they’re literally so melodramatic?? like they’ll scream really loudly in the hallways of the royal castle bc they can’t find their favourite riding boots or smthn Dumb like that and the court will just be like Oh, There Goes The Csar Again (and whenever the foreign dignitaries visit they’re deeply concerned until the court convinces them that the csar is perfectly fine)

anyways i think you get the picture of zhenya, who is an actual Loser who has somehow managed not to destroy bulgaria. can’t wait to interact with everyone !!
