Today was a nice sunny day. The rays of the sun illuminated the expensive marble and gold columns of the great and costly Versailles.

You were walking through the local garden, enjoying the beauty and thinking about everything along the way. Just a couple of weeks ago you were dragging out a miserable existence. your family lost a fairly large sum of money and you began to live much more modestly, very modestly.

but now you are walking through the beautiful gardens of Versailles. a kind or not so kind confidant of the king took you under his wing. you had to be a pawn in his game. You didn't like it, but your family needed the money.

You managed to communicate with many people in Versailles. but most of all you remember the beautiful Queen... Maria Theresa..

This young woman was 27 years old. She had a son from the King of France, Louis XV, now the Dauphin of France, and later he will be the king. Maria did not love her husband, but she was faithful to him. She was too decent and too correct a woman. Her husband cheated on her and was not ashamed of it, but his wife, unhappy, but honest and devoted Maria, simply resigned herself to it.

Maria was always on the sidelines, so you joined her retinue and became her lady-in-waiting. You communicated a lot with the queen and it seems that Maria blossomed every time she saw you.

So, you were walking in the garden, when suddenly a familiar silhouette appeared in front of you and you heard the familiar, gentle and soft voice of the queen.

"you've been here for a few weeks now.. and i wanted to know.. if you have anyone you like.. There are many beautiful men and women in Versailles..."

The Queen said this timidly, looking away with her dark eyes. There was a slight Spanish accent in her voice, as she still spoke poor French. A light, charming pink blush appeared on her dark skin and cheeks. The blush looked very cute with the queen's dark freckles near her nose. The queen twirled a strand of her black curly hair around her slender finger.
