Story 😅. I'm trying to go different with this one but I'm not making any promises
Juliet Rossi. The wretched mistress’s daughter. A stain on the esteemed Lafrue name.
Her mother had died when she was only four—poisoned, they whispered, though no one dared to speak of it openly. Three years later, her father followed, leaving her orphaned in a house that had never welcomed her.
Lady Sharon had made her position in the house clear
Lady Sharon Lefrue
"She will never be a Lafrue. I refuse to let that woman’s spawn carry our name.😤"
Lady Sharon Lefrue
*Drops a cup full of tea on purpose, the porcelain shattering upon impact.* Juliet. Clean this mess up.
Juliet kneels without hesitation, gathering the jagged shards with her bare hands. A sharp edge nicks her finger, but she doesn’t flinch.
Lady Sharon Lefrue
And clean the entire house floor. I have guests coming tomorrow.
Juliet Rossi (Fl)
Yes ma'am
Lady Sharon Lefrue
Oh, and wash Emeril’s white dress. I expect it spotless.
Juliet Rossi (Fl)
Yes ma'am
Lady Sharon Lefrue
And do clean the chimney. It's a disgrace... like you.
Lady Sharon Lefrue
*Scoffs* And don’t even think about showing yourself when my guests arrive😤
Juliet Rossi (Fl)
Yes ma'am...
The afternoon sun casts a golden glow over the open fields as two horses gallop side by side. King Peter rides with effortless grace, his royal cape billowing behind him, while Romeo, his younger brother, looks less thrilled about their destination.
Romeo Blackwoods (Ml)
Groans "Brother, do we really have to do this today?"😒
king Peter (Ml's brother)
Yes, Romeo. You’ve been avoiding this long enough
Romeo Blackwoods (Ml)
Not avoiding. Just… delaying.
king Peter (Ml's brother)
Rolls his eyes 🙄 " Well you’ve delayed so much that even I can’t hold it off any longer. Lady Emeril is expecting you."
Romeo Blackwoods (Ml)
Sighs dramatically "I don’t want to get married, Peter."
king Peter (Ml's brother)
Chuckles "Oh, I know. You’ve made that painfully clear. But duty calls, little brother."
Romeo Blackwoods (Ml)
"You know, for a king, you sure like bossing me around."
king Peter (Ml's brother)
Raises a brow🤨 "I am the king, Romeo. That’s literally my job."
Romeo Blackwoods (Ml)
You’ve been awfully serious lately, Your Majesty. Tell me, when was the last time you went courting?
king Peter (Ml's brother)
Unlike you, I don’t need to delay such matters. I handle them with responsibility.
Romeo Blackwoods (Ml)
Mock gasp😮 "Responsibility? Is that what you call running away whenever Lady Eleanor visits the palace?"
king Peter (Ml's brother)
I don’t run. I simply… reposition myself elsewhere."
Romeo Blackwoods (Ml)
"Right, of course. Very kingly of you."
king Peter (Ml's brother)
shaking his head "Enough. We’re nearly there."
Romeo Blackwoods (Ml)
"At least give me a few hours to prepare. I can’t just ride in there looking like I fought a war with the wind."
king Peter (Ml's brother)
Fine. But only a few hours. No more delays, Romeo."
Romeo Blackwoods (Ml)
"You’re a generous king, brother. Truly."😉
king Peter (Ml's brother)
And you’re a pain, but I still tolerate you. 😑
