*Selene staggered through the palace gates, her dress slightly wrinkled, hair barely clinging to its once-perfect style, and the unmistakable aura of someone who had been through too much*

*She was covered in dust from the road, and her usually pristine silver hair had strands sticking out in every direction. She looked horrible. She knew it. But surely, surely, she was still recognizable?!*

Selene Aurelia Valmont [FL]

Haa~

Selene Aurelia Valmont [FL]

Selene Aurelia Valmont [FL]

Never-

Selene Aurelia Valmont [FL]

Never again-

Selene Aurelia Valmont [FL]

I SWEAR ON GOD'S NAME NEVER IN MY LIFE I'M GONNA TRAVEL IN ANY CARRIAGE AGAIN!!!! 😫💭

*The palace guard at the entrance stiffened and immediately stepped forward, blocking her path*

GUARD: State your name and business!!!

Selene Aurelia Valmont [FL]

*blinks*

Selene Aurelia Valmont [FL]

WHAT??

GUARD: This is the royal palace!

GUARD: Unauthorized individuals are not permitted entry *said firmly*

Selene Aurelia Valmont [FL]

*stares at him*

Selene Aurelia Valmont [FL]

*Then slowly looks down at herself*

Selene Aurelia Valmont [FL]

Okay, yes, I look a bit worse for wear, but do I look so bad that a palace guard—a palace guard who had surely seen Selene before—couldn’t recognize her!?! 💭

Selene Aurelia Valmont [FL]

*eye twitches*

Selene Aurelia Valmont [FL]

I am Lady Selene Valmont *said enunciating each word carefully*

*The guard’s expression remained skeptical*

GUARD: Do you have proof of identity?

Selene Aurelia Valmont [FL]

*clenching her fists*

Selene Aurelia Valmont [FL]

Proof of identity?! Did he expect me to carry a identity card around my neck so people can recognise? 💢💭

Selene Aurelia Valmont [FL]

Listen!

Selene Aurelia Valmont [FL]

*trying very hard to keep her voice level*

Selene Aurelia Valmont [FL]

I was invited to a tea party

Selene Aurelia Valmont [FL]

My carriage broke down twice, a bird nearly took my hat, and I had to walk the last stretch to get here...

Selene Aurelia Valmont [FL]

So unless you want me to start screaming loud enough for the entire palace to hear, I suggest you move...

Selene Aurelia Valmont [FL]

GUARD: Lady Valmont comes with her attendants.....

Selene Aurelia Valmont [FL]

That is Lady Selene and I'm that lady Selene who didn't bring any attendants

Selene Aurelia Valmont [FL]

You've got any problem???

Selene Aurelia Valmont [FL]

GUARD: How can I believe you are lady Selene.... you are someone else, who's trying to sneak into a tea party....

Selene Aurelia Valmont [FL]

Haa~ before I lose my sanity!!! 😌💢

Selene Aurelia Valmont [FL]

*throws the invitation letter at face*

GUARD: hmm??

GUARD: AHH!! *bows*

GUARD: apologies my lady....

GUARD: I didn't know you were lady Selene... 😖

Selene Aurelia Valmont [FL]

Now you know!!!

Selene Aurelia Valmont [FL]

And do you think any noblewoman in her right mind would pretend to be me just to sneak into a tea party?

Selene Aurelia Valmont [FL]

No one wanted to be Selene Valmont, at least not in a way that involved impersonation and possible execution!!! 💭

GUARD: yes, nobody will adapt such a horrible look to just get into a tea party....

Selene Aurelia Valmont [FL]

HORRIBLE??

Selene Aurelia Valmont [FL]

GUARD: *His face paled slightly*

*kneels down*

APOLOGIES MY LADY!!! (⁠╥⁠﹏⁠╥⁠)

Selene Aurelia Valmont [FL]

*sighs*

Selene Aurelia Valmont [FL]

*straightens her posture*

Selene Aurelia Valmont [FL]

Show me the way to where the tea party is held...

GUARD: yes, my lady....*bows*

Selene Aurelia Valmont [FL]

And if anyone asks, this never happened.....

Selene Aurelia Valmont [FL]

right!

Selene Aurelia Valmont [FL]

GUARD: YES, MY LADY

GUARD: ohh lord, she's so scary 💭

Selene Aurelia Valmont [FL]

Not only did I suffer through that cursed journey, but now I look so horrible that people don’t even recognize me?! If one more thing went wrong today, I'm going to burn something down ಠ⁠_⁠ಠ💢💭

. . . .

*As Selene marched through the grand palace halls, her exhaustion momentarily faded, replaced by reluctant admiration*

*The ceilings were impossibly high, adorned with intricate gold filigree. Chandeliers sparkled like captured stars, and the polished marble floors reflected the soft glow of afternoon light streaming through the massive windows. Every detail screamed wealth, elegance, and power*

Selene Aurelia Valmont [FL]

Tsk

*Of course the palace was breathtaking. It was the royal residence, after all. But what truly irritated her was the fact that Lucian—Lucian—got to live here....*

Selene Aurelia Valmont [FL]

That f*cker doesn't deserve this!! 💭

Selene Aurelia Valmont [FL]

No, not at all 💭

Selene Aurelia Valmont [FL]

He walks around here like he owns the place—which, fine, technically he does—but still! It’s wasted on him!! 💭

Selene Aurelia Valmont [FL]

Meanwhile, I nearly died just trying to get here. Where is the justice? 🙂💭

Selene Aurelia Valmont [FL]

He probably takes all the things for granted!!! 💭

Selene Aurelia Valmont [FL]

This is why the wrong people always end up in power 💭

*Her frustration only grew as she reached the tea room doors. She took one last glance at the elegant surroundings and scowled*

Selene Aurelia Valmont [FL]

If I have to sit through an entire afternoon of noble chatter and pretend to be civil, someone had better pour me the finest cup of tea this palace has to offer...💭
