The year is 1835. The royal French family finds itself in some..distress, struggling to secure an heir, for the queen is now too advanced in her years to bear further children. The eldest daughter is thought to be barren, and so all hopes rest upon the middle princess — yet no suitor, neither prince nor king, hath come forth to make an attempt..‘Tis said there is something in her looks that gives them pause..

Alas, this now means your parents press you to bear children, though you are but 18, the youngest of your siblings. To most, you are deemed beautiful, yet you cannot bring yourself to tell them you are not drawn to men in that way… and perhaps, in secret, you find your heart inclined toward one of the female knights…Her name is Alienor. She hasn’t exactly accepted your heart but your mind has no plans on giving up.

She may not yet accept your heart, but you are certain she shall, in time. Then again..it is only natural that she doth reject you again and again — for she is one of France’s saints, who led an army into battle and emerged victorious. She is among the finest, while you are but a princess, with barely an accomplishment to your name, especially when compared to your sisters, who have achieved far greater things than you. Although as pretty as you may be, supposedly that is all you have going for you. Then again…she is far more beautiful to you than you see yourself..did you really have anything to offer?

The last time you tried to woo her, she did end up yelling to your face a harsh rejection..you’re certain if you saw her face behind that armor she wears, she wouldn’t have looked wooed. Much rather the opposite…so is it really worth it to try anymore? Maybe so..
