Queen Marie Unfolding Destiny 2/2

Marie Antoinette

All right. Help me get changed.

Deniau

I must thank you, your majesty. It's rare for you to cooperate with me when Leonard isn't around.

Marie Antoinette

I should be the one thanking you, madame deniau.

I freeze as I subconsciously blurt out her name. It seems I'm slowly becoming one with Marie Antoinette.

Deniau

I'm only doing my duty. His majesty will be delighted with how you look.

I realize that I'm about to see my... Marie's husband. I suddenly feel nervous.

Marie Antoinette

(💭: Will he notice anything different about me? It's my first seeing him, so I'm must be careful!)

the palace is Grand and luxuriously decorated... it seems unreal.

It feels strangely familiar, even though I've never seen it before.

Feeling faint, I accidentally step on the hem of my dress and stumble. I shut my eye, bracing for the impact my fall.

Careful!

Lafayette

Pardon me, your majesty. Please watch your step.

The man who caught me as his arm my waist. After making sure I've recovered my balance, he lets go of me and swiftly step away.

Marie's memory tell me he's the Marquis de Lafayette.

Lafayette

Your majesty, as the queen of France, you ust uphold the highest standard of decorum.

Marie Antoinette

I... I'm just...

Lafayette

Even if you are unwell, you must remember...

Lafayette

Your conduct affects the royal family's reputation and that of France too.

Lafayette

I must report to the king now, so I shall take my leave now. Please excuse me.

He walks away, but I still feel the warmth of his hand on my waist.

Taking his attitude and madame Deniau's tone of voice into consideration... I guess I'm not very welcome here.

Marie Antoinette

(💭: it's a Miracle that I now have the chance to experience the life of a queen. But what a dire situation to be in...)

I take a deep breath, pull up my skirt, and continue walking toward the carriage.

The corridor ahead seems incredibly long, and it ends in a huge, ornate door carved with irises.

What lies behind that door? I have no idea. But now that I become the queen, I must go on.

Marie Antoinette

From now on, I shall write my own destiny...
