He can hold the squirmy princess~.

Time to witness their friends’ happy ending.

[ℬ𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘦 𝘥𝘦 ℬ𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘣𝘰𝘯 @AimerLaBete]

Sorry what was that? Their little one was trying to run away and it looks like they no longer have that time, the bride is about to enter the chapel!

[𝓐𝒹𝒶𝓂 𝓭𝑒 𝓑𝑜𝓊𝓇𝒷𝑜𝓃 @CursedByARose]

They have time before the ceremony. Shall they go mingle?

[ℬ𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘦 𝘥𝘦 ℬ𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘣𝘰𝘯 @AimerLaBete]

Mhmm, indeed~ 🥰

[𝓐𝒹𝒶𝓂 𝓭𝑒 𝓑𝑜𝓊𝓇𝒷𝑜𝓃 @CursedByARose]

Lovey day for some lovely friends, oui?

[ℬ𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘦 𝘥𝘦 ℬ𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘣𝘰𝘯 @AimerLaBete]

She has come all the way from France to be at this wedding!

A little girl and a very handsome husband in tow.

[𝓐𝒹𝒶𝓂 𝓭𝑒 𝓑𝑜𝓊𝓇𝒷𝑜𝓃 @CursedByARose]

Adam is going swimming today.

If anyone sees him floating in his fountain, he's fine.

[𝓐𝒹𝒶𝓂 𝓭𝑒 𝓑𝑜𝓊𝓇𝒷𝑜𝓃 @CursedByARose]

Nothing like a good glass of wine as the evening comes to a close…

[𝓐𝒹𝒶𝓂 𝓭𝑒 𝓑𝑜𝓊𝓇𝒷𝑜𝓃 @CursedByARose]

I like this man's thinking.

[THÉODORE. @histenderteeth]

The best things in life are _________.

French. The answer is French.

[𝓐𝒹𝒶𝓂 𝓭𝑒 𝓑𝑜𝓊𝓇𝒷𝑜𝓃 @CursedByARose]

@histenderteeth "'Pyke…' Not a usual surname I hear around the city."

Yet Theodore's French was perfect, if not slightly accented.

[𝓐𝒹𝒶𝓂 𝓭𝑒 𝓑𝑜𝓊𝓇𝒷𝑜𝓃 @CursedByARose]

@histenderteeth ~the prince at the moment? "… Adam Chevalier. A pleasure…?"

[𝓐𝒹𝒶𝓂 𝓭𝑒 𝓑𝑜𝓊𝓇𝒷𝑜𝓃 @CursedByARose]

@histenderteeth "It does… I don't mind summer, really, but the excessive heat does get draining."

Not as much as it does one of Adam's friends, but the prince preferred to stay cool.

"I don't believe I caught your name, Monsieur. I am Adam––" wait, does he really want to expose himself as~

[𝓐𝒹𝒶𝓂 𝓭𝑒 𝓑𝑜𝓊𝓇𝒷𝑜𝓃 @CursedByARose]

@histenderteeth It is perhaps a bit late in the day. Adam had gone for a walk to clear his head after speaking with some irritating nobles and before going home to his family.

"I thought most people would be avoiding the heat of the day… I try to, at least."

[𝓐𝒹𝒶𝓂 𝓭𝑒 𝓑𝑜𝓊𝓇𝒷𝑜𝓃 @CursedByARose]

@histenderteeth ~"Has it been this empty all day?"

[𝓐𝒹𝒶𝓂 𝓭𝑒 𝓑𝑜𝓊𝓇𝒷𝑜𝓃 @CursedByARose]

@histenderteeth "It smells delicious, Monsieur."

A few more coins were placed on the counter.

"And if anyone cannot pay you for it, use this to cover their costs."

Bread, as of late, was a tough good to come across.

Adam looked around, the market today wasn't doing much business.~

[𝓐𝒹𝒶𝓂 𝓭𝑒 𝓑𝑜𝓊𝓇𝒷𝑜𝓃 @CursedByARose]

@histenderteeth ||trying to reply on mobile while working, just roll with it

[𝓐𝒹𝒶𝓂 𝓭𝑒 𝓑𝑜𝓊𝓇𝒷𝑜𝓃 @CursedByARose]

@histenderteeth Walking buy, the prince holds out a few gold coins. It’s way more than the cost of the bread itself, but he’s in a generous mood today.

“Fine work, Mon ami. I’ll take two loaves.”

[𝓐𝒹𝒶𝓂 𝓭𝑒 𝓑𝑜𝓊𝓇𝒷𝑜𝓃 @CursedByARose]

Today is a 'go swimming in the fountain to avoid the heat' kind of day.

[𝓐𝒹𝒶𝓂 𝓭𝑒 𝓑𝑜𝓊𝓇𝒷𝑜𝓃 @CursedByARose]

He could be playful and say he's already taken…

But he cannot.

He wants a dance with her while the night is still young.

[ℬ𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘦 𝘥𝘦 ℬ𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘣𝘰𝘯 @AimerLaBete]

He’s right, perhaps she’ll grant him a dance~

[𝓐𝒹𝒶𝓂 𝓭𝑒 𝓑𝑜𝓊𝓇𝒷𝑜𝓃 @CursedByARose]

Non.

She is having fun with her friend. Their friend.

And they're both here to have a good time.

They'll both get plenty of dancing in, with each other and their friends, before the night is over.

[ℬ𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘦 𝘥𝘦 ℬ𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘣𝘰𝘯 @AimerLaBete]

But is he? Jealous?

[𝓐𝒹𝒶𝓂 𝓭𝑒 𝓑𝑜𝓊𝓇𝒷𝑜𝓃 @CursedByARose]

This is how he gets revenge for her trying to 'make him jealous.'

[ℬ𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘦 𝘥𝘦 ℬ𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘣𝘰𝘯 @AimerLaBete]

How dare he

[𝓐𝒹𝒶𝓂 𝓭𝑒 𝓑𝑜𝓊𝓇𝒷𝑜𝓃 @CursedByARose]

😌He's still got it.

[𝓐𝒹𝒶𝓂 𝓭𝑒 𝓑𝑜𝓊𝓇𝒷𝑜𝓃 @CursedByARose]

"As if that's ever going to stop me from showing proper adoration," he purred, hoisting Clara back up in his arms.

"Until later, mon amour~."

[ℬ𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘦 𝘥𝘦 ℬ𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘣��𝘯 @AimerLaBete]

Promptly blushes, and whispers.

“…We are in public, Monsieur de Bourbon.”
