My reach is global,My tower secure character: Contessa OTA setting: Versailles content: Violence, a lot of angry French peasants who don't like cake! summary: Contessa is now a queen, this is the perfect dream. Or IS it?
The banging on the gates grew louder but the queen would not be removed. She sat at the dinner table in all her finery. She would not be chased out of this palace like a common dog nor would her daily rituals be interrupted. Though, she was no fool. She knew she had enemies. She could hear them through the palace walls.
“Kill the bitch!”They cried. “Cook her in oil!” They demanded. “Off with her head!” They chanted.
All they could talk of was petty gossip and debt. She was building a country, these things had a price! She had given them everything but they wanted more from her and now they wanted her head! But it would not and could not be allowed! No one could be trusted, not even her servants.
“Garçon!” she suddenly shouted. Her server jumped and the sudden break in decorum but hurried over to his queen. “Do you mean to kill me?” She questioned “Y-your highness?” “Do you mean to kill me?” she asked again shoving the plate of salmon in his face. The servant was at a loss for words. Before he could say anything she hurled the platter across the table, enraged. “Snakes! All of you are conspiring snakes out to seek my demise, this food is poisoned and I will not eat!“
She stormed out of the room and onto the balcony. There she was greeted by the crowd of angry peasants carrying pitchfork and weapons. She would b treated this way. The crown was her birth right and these people had no right to take it away. The already rowdy mob grew even wilder when they saw her. Suddenly it was too much for the guards to handle and the gate broke.
