Chronicles of Victor II and Angélique

Days after the death of the Empress of De Orianne, Angélique and her sister Esyn were crowned as Co-Empresses of De Orianne. Esyn currently is in Lamplight meeting the Queen and her sister by marriage. Meanwhile Angélique has remained in De Orianne ruling and protecting the nation. Victor II and his family have remained in the nation for various reasons. Lord Craux and his wife Veronica are currently investigating those responsible for the explosion and bringing them to justice. Victor II has remained with Angélique as her bodyguard. He was also charged by his father to guard Esyn as well but only when she's in the nation. Isabella is with the pair of lovebirds closely watching their romance develop and giving Angélique hints as to what her brother likes. However, Victor always gives Angélique what she likes before she can give him a gift. It is clear they are madly in love. They both eagerly await for the wedding however, Victor II is waiting a couple days to give Angélique time to grieve her mother's death. Victor is still irate about what happened. He never got to meet the Empress and wanted to ask her about the intricacies of the De Oriannian court as well as intrigue. We now go and look through the perspective of Isabella as she watches her brother and Angélique via the closet of Angélique's bed chamber as they have a conversation.

1" So Angie, how much stress is being co Empress putting on you right now?"

2"Well Victor it is a lot to take in so far, I have my sister and you and Isabella to thank for helping me keep my sanity intact. I never knew mother had to deal with such issues. The bickering. The CONSTANT BICKERING!"

1"Calm down honey. I understand the bickering can be annoying. I'm surprised though. Straona is over 8 billion. De Orianne is less than 500 million and the people and law makers here squabble far more than in Straona. I don't know maybe its cause I wasn't involved in politics as much when Straona was founded. There were a lot of wars though. Maybe I'll teach you Straonan history some time in the future and you can teach me about De Orianne's history."

2"That would be lovely. Also I saw you talking with Esyn earlier. What were you talking about? You weren't flirting were you (yandere stare)"

1"Dear God no honey I wouldn't dream of doing that you're the only one for me."

2"Then what were you two talking about"

1"(blushes with embarrassment) Umm she was asking me what I thought about children."

2"(blushing with embarrassment) That's odd, s...she doesn't exactly like children"

1"Don't know why she asked me then. Umm what do you think of children."

2"Well I adore children, especially ones like your little sister."

1"So do I."

2"So umm about the wedding, I was thinking we wait a few days."

1"That's fine I understand. I didn't get to say this before though, I'm glad I met you and I love you Angie. I'll leave the room so you can rest"

3"Gives Angélique a signal to...."

2"(Pulls in Victor for a kiss)"

1(Melts into the kiss)

2"No please stay here, I've been having nightmares."

1"Very well. Isabella you can come out. Go and sleep on the smaller bed in the room, also why is that there? These are your chambers after all?"

2"That was a bed I was saving for our children."
