GISELLE DE LA VALLIERE
I'm your sisters new lady-in-waiting. Yknow, for the wedding?
LAURIE ALAIRE
Really? No one told me that.
GISELLE DE LA VALLIERE
I don't see why they would. You probably didn't notice because you've had your head up your ass for weeks recently.
3-3
LAURIE ALAIRE
Ouch, you really know how to wound me.
GISELLE DE LA VALLIERE
As if, that ego of yours has such a strong plate of armor doesn't it?
LAURIE ALAIRE

You've always been particularly gifted at the task, Sella.
GISELLE DE LA VALLIERE
…
4-3
LAURIE ALAIRE
… Why would you be her lady in waiting?
GISELLE DE LA VALLIERE
Hmm?
LAURIE ALAIRE
Isn't the Lady Giselle de la Valliere too good for such things.
GISELLE DE LA VALLIERE
It would seem others don't share that sentiment, Lance.
GISELLE DE LA VALLIERE
Plus it's not like it's beneath me to aid the princess in her wedding preparations, now would it?
5-3
LAURIE ALAIRE
My sister will be grateful for your company, I know I would be.
GISELLE DE LA VALLIERE

GISELLE DE LA VALLIERE

(sour chuckling)
It wouldn't be the first.

LAURIE ALAIRE

GISELLE DE LA VALLIERE
Don't be ignorant, I command you to stop it.
LAURIE ALAIRE
Command? I should command you to tell me why you're back, why you left.
GISELLE DE LA VALLIERE
Why does every conversation come back to this?
LAURIE ALAIRE
You left and- I thought you'd never come back.
GISELLE DE LA VALLIERE
… Did you miss me?
LAURIE ALAIRE
I missed you, Giselle. Dearly.
GISELLE DE LA VALLIERE

I've made it clear that I don't want to see your face.
LAURIE ALAIRE
Look, Caroline. I'm sorry. I think I had too much to drink at the party. If I hadn't that wouldn't have ever happened!
CAROLINE D'ALAIRE

To my incredible family, you are the roots that ground me, the branches that lift me, and the leaves that bring color to my world. Thank you for being the foundation of my happiness.
And to my love, [Fiancé's Name], meeting you was like finding the missing piece of a puzzle I didn't know was incomplete. Your love has added a new and beautiful dimension to my life, and I can't wait to spend forever with you.
Tonight is not just about celebrating our engagement; it's about celebrating the love that surrounds us—love from family, love from friends, and the love that binds us together. Thank you all for being part of this magical journey. Here's to love, laughter, and a lifetime of happiness.

D'Alaire Royal Family Approval Ratings
As of May 2099, Dorian, The Duke of Touraine is still the most Positively perceived member of the d'Alaire family. Most either love him or hate him, even though he has officially abdicated from the line of succession for 3 years at this point. His popularity still reigns.
Her Royal Highness, The Duchess of Umbrage is the most hated. These feelings of contempt stem from her brief reign as Queen, the way she handled her abdication, and how she continues to slander the country and her other family members alike.

The Media | An excerpt from Le Soleil Post
Early this morning, His Royal Highness, Crown Prince Laurence was spotted at Le Matignon. An extremely exclusive nightclub, where many affluent individuals are seen nightly. 2 weeks after returning to his homeland, His Royal Highness is once again the party animal associated with his name for the past 3 years. What irks many people, is the appearance of a mystery girl. Prince Laurence was spotted with a girl, now confirmed as Miss Aubrey Elizabeth Stuart. A 24-year-old, from Caledonia who graduated alongside Prince Laurence at the University of Oxford. Whoever she is, doesn't help the image of His Royal Highness. Will the Prince be the same person he always was, Or will he finally step up to his role now that Prince Dorian is no longer with us? This is not a question that you or I can answer. We'll see in the coming days what kind of King, Crown Prince Laurence will try to be.

You're just visiting your mom, right? Why are you dressing so formally?
LAURIE ALAIRE
I'm visiting the Queen, not my mother. She's furious with me, that much I know.
AUBREY STUART
I'm sure she'll understand.
LAURIE ALAIRE
No, she will not. There are no exceptions.
AUBREY STUART
Can't you make one for me, and stay a bit longer?
LAURIE ALAIRE
For you, always.
SCENE CHANGE
CAMILLE ALAIRE
You're late.
LAURIE ALAIRE
Obviously, mother. Should I turn around and leave?
CAMILLE ALAIRE
I cannot possibly figure out why your so mad at me, You dug yourself into this hole while you were away.
LAURIE ALAIRE
You make it sound like I had a choice.
CAMILLE ALAIRE
You were clearly not ready, and you still aren't. I honestly thought you would have learned by now.
LAURIE ALAIRE
It was never my purpose to learn. I wasn't supposed to be in this situation.
CAMILLE ALAIRE
You were always meant to learn eventually. And blaming your brother will change nothing. Laurence d’Alaire, You will fulfill your role as Crown Prince. You swore as much to your people and me. Secretary Colette will deliver your schedule.

Aren't you marrying into them?
CAROLINE ALAIRE
I promise he's not the same. You must meet him soon, I can't marry someone who hasn't met my brother.
LAURIE ALAIRE
Dorian's met him, hasn't he?
CAROLINE ALAIRE
Of course he has, Laurie. He's our brother too. You know he hasn't abandoned us, he just has a life, a family.
LAURIE ALAIRE
I’m his family too, yet He abandoned me! He's forgotten me and left me stranded. I can count on one had how many times he's called.
CAROLINE ALAIRE
Well have you called him?
LAURIE ALAIRE

Uh huh, Don't abandon each other, ok? You'll both be at my wedding, and I don't want any awkwardness between the two of you.

Tonight, The Crown Prince made a surprise visit to Le Coq Au Vin. A popular restaurant that has recently received 2 Michelin stars. On his arm, Aubrey Stuart, His Royal Highnesses rumored girlfriend. The Image of the rumored couple exiting the famed restaurant is a stark contrast to the photos that were released just a few days ago. Of His Royal Highness and Ms. Stuart dancing at Le Matignon. Either the prince's publicist team is scrambling to fix the Crown Prince's image, once again, Or His Royal Highness is actually turning a new leaf. Either way, the two dazzled the paparazzi, with Ms. Aubrey Stuart presumably getting a head-to-toe makeover. She looks gorgeous as she stands beside our Prince. In a mid-length sky blue dress…

And this is one of them. I'll let Laurence Lead.
IMANI ANESTEFI
We'll proceed then, Your Majesty.
LAURIE ALAIRE
It's in my knowledge that the northern regions are experiencing a harsh winter this year. I'd like so send in some aids.
GEOFFREY DE LA VALLÈIRE
Your Royal Highness, that wouldn't be wise. Sending aid would take away from other sources. Especcially the House of lord. Winter will be over in 4 months, they'll survive.
PEER
I agree, this isn't the time to empty our couffers.
AMBERTTA D'BEAUMONT
How selfish of you both, Please keep in mind that this is a vote. I'm sure you'll notice the sound-minded of us will vote in your favor.
LAURIE ALAIRE
Thank you, Lady Orlmont.
And I disagree, Duke De La VallÈire. The people come first. Always.
CAMILLE ALAIRE
Does anyone have an objections?
GEOFFREY DE LA VALLÈIRE
No, Your Majesty.
CAMILLE ALAIRE
Thank you, Lord Valleire.Let's start with the vote, Lady Plessis.
LADY PLESSIS
All those in favor say aye.
EVERYONE
Aye

The Royal Thrones Chapter 2 | February 10th
I have taken way too many promotional pictures for this next chapter of mine. So instead of deleting all of them, I'll post them in batches before February 10th. I'll post a few every other day, so sorry in advance for the repetitive content!

LAURIE ALAIRE

What the hell are you talking about, Dorian? That isn't a joke, Why would you even say that?
DORIAN ALAIRE
Who said I'm joking, Caroline?
LAURIE ALAIRE
White Noise

DORIAN ALAIRE
I'm sorry, Laurie.
LAURIE ALAIRE
No, you aren't, you think you can be happy now. Without Lavande, without us. But Y-you can't do this to me! It's not fair.
DORIAN ALAIRE
When have our lives ever been fair, Laurie?
DORIAN ALAIRE
When have we ever chosen our fates?
DORIAN ALAIRE
They say our destiny is the crown. They say we are blessed because of it.
DORIAN ALAIRE
But it's nothing more than a cage for the one who wears it.
