The crown and The clause
A sleek black car pulled up to the Volnovian royal palace
she steps out , in fitted suit with snowflakes melting on her shoulders
Already annoyed by the sight of ceremonial guards
Yoo Mirae
Just for some simple conversation , they pulled out a frickin Met Gala
She's here as her part as legal advisor by Korea to review Volnova's outdated system.
Guards stiffens as the grand Duchess approaches.
Press/paparazzi
(Whispers) The icy Princess arrives
Ekaterina Katya
(Smiles faintly) I heard lawyers carry pen like swords
Yoo Mirae
Only rulers forget how the ink works I see
The glided into the meeting room for a briefing
Yoo Mirae
(Open a folder)I've highlighted ten statutes that violate basic human rights
Ekaterina Katya
Your laws are not our truths, Ms Yoo
Ekaterina Katya
I expected someone older, the way your government praised you
Ekaterina Katya
I assumed you'd be twice your age.... or at least wear less judgement in your eyes
Yoo Mirae
(without looking up) Judgements are free when you realize how many corpses are hidden under some so-called royal crowns
Ekaterina Katya
(walks closer, voice honeyed and cold) You speak like a Martyr, careful Martyrs die Queens rule
Yoo Mirae
(meeting gaze with tone steel) And tyrants eventually fall with or without reform
The tension crackles like a frost on glass
Ekaterina Katya
(Smiles faintly and almost amused) Tell me Ms Yoo, is that how you see me? A tyrant in lipstick and lace?
Yoo Mirae
(Closes her folder with a snap) No, I see a frightened woman hiding behind her velvet laws and borrowed power
Ekaterina Katya
(Jaw tenses) Careful that tone has costed many people their tongue here
Yoo Mirae
Then cut mine out, at least I won't be lying when I scream
Ekaterina Katya
(Steps closer almost whispering) You're not what I expected
Elita Volnova
Shall I call the refreshments Your Grace, or is the tension enough to keep the room warm
Ekaterina Katya
(Still staring at Mirae) Leave us....The temperature is........ perfect
