If I remember correctly, you still owe me Maastricht...

[༄ 𝕎𝕚𝕝𝕝𝕚𝕒𝕞 𝕠𝕗 𝕆𝕣𝕒𝕟𝕘𝕖 @TheDutchDish]

Time will tell, robber man.

[Louis XIV. @desolrex]

No, he's not.

@LadyThaliaRP Just a little?

He's taking back what is his from France.

[Louis XIV. @desolrex]

Amusement flickered behind Louis's eyes.

"Trés bien, cousin. We will make a Frenchman out of you yet."

[༄ 𝕎𝕚𝕝𝕝𝕚𝕒𝕞 𝕠𝕗 𝕆𝕣𝕒𝕟𝕘𝕖 @TheDutchDish]

"Coussssssinnnn."

Said in his best most French-sounding accent like he's a French king mocking an English king at the Field of the Cloth of Gold.

"Thank you for your advice. Most helpful. I am in your debt."

[Louis XIV. @desolrex]

You should try sarcasm sometime, cousin. You may find it surprisingly enlightening.

[༄ 𝕎𝕚𝕝𝕝𝕚𝕒𝕞 𝕠𝕗 𝕆𝕣𝕒𝕟𝕘𝕖 @TheDutchDish]

You were humiliated and you've never seen so happy.

What a strange man you are.

[Louis XIV. @desolrex]

The feeling is mutual.

[༄ 𝕎𝕚𝕝𝕝𝕚𝕒𝕞 𝕠𝕗 𝕆𝕣𝕒𝕟𝕘𝕖 @TheDutchDish]

Seldom have I been so happy.

[Louis XIV. @desolrex]

Happy birthday, cousin.

I hope you had a great day.

[༄ ℂ𝕙𝕒𝕣𝕝𝕖𝕤 𝕊𝕥𝕦𝕒𝕣𝕥 ༄ @MerriestMonarch]

How lovely for you to spend my birthday celebrations with me, cousin.

[Louis XIV. @desolrex]

Oh, shush.

He's never been to the Ice Party before but he's going just to see Louis drenched like a drowned rat.

Oh wait, he's seen that already.

[Louis XIV. @desolrex]

Sounds delightfully charming.

Chambord couldn't be a more befitting château for your festivities.

I don't believe soaker weapons and I have been properly introduced. Should I be worried?

[⚜️ Roi François Ier ⚜️ @RoiFrancoisI]

Only the best party of them all besides Yuletide.

Held every July at Chambord.

Anyone with an imagination and a sense of adventure is invited and welcomed.,

Which reminds me. I should order from soaker weapons and suitable attire.

[Louis XIV. @desolrex]

When your brother had a bouncy castle brought into the gardens that one time.

[𝐏𝐇𝐈𝐋𝐈𝐏𝐏𝐄. @FLEURMlGNONNE]

When your brother starts to finally learn what fun is.

[Louis XIV. @desolrex]

;; Me? Answering like, one year old replies?

More likely than you think. 🙈

@TheSilkenBlade « fetch wine, all the while his attention never strayed far from the man before him, whom he studied with almost imperceptible scrutiny.

“I shan’t pry into your personal affairs only, Philippe already has several responsibilities. To which one are you referring to, Monsieur?”

[Louis XIV. @desolrex]

“Please, Philippe, there are no need for formalities here.” Louis, sensing the new Count was burdened with thought, pulled out a chair and beckoned him to sit. For all the splendour that came with wearing a crown, he was, at his core, still human.

“What troubles you?”

[The Chevalier (parody) @TheSilkenBlade]

He bowed slightly. “Certainly sore! I am happy to do so.”

Damn. He should have asked for more. No. The king received much of that without his meddling. The truth was he loved Versailles and needed only to keep himself satisfied. There was no reason to cause more trouble than>

[Louis XIV. @desolrex]

@TheSilkenBlade Louis’s lips twitched at the other man’s reaction, but any trace of a smile was smoothed out as he took the seat opposite him.

“Responsibility?” The Chevalier’s response piqued his curiosity, prompting him to pry.

With a flick of his wrist, Louis sent for a servant to »

What, pray tell, is an Ice Party, and is anyone allowed to take part in these festivities?

Asking for a friend (aforementioned friend is himself.)

[Louis XIV. @desolrex]

Maybe I should push you in first instead, Cousin.

[༄ ℂ𝕙𝕒𝕣𝕝𝕖𝕤 𝕊𝕥𝕦𝕒𝕣𝕥 ༄ @MerriestMonarch]

Trying to decide whether to push @DucDePhilippe @VersaillesSun @desolrex or @TheSilkenBlade into a fountain first.

[Louis XIV. @desolrex]

Cousin Charlie!

[༄ ℂ𝕙𝕒𝕣𝕝𝕖𝕤 𝕊𝕥𝕦𝕒𝕣𝕥 ༄ @MerriestMonarch]

He’s here!

Who is creating chaos with him?!!

[Louis XIV. @desolrex]

@LadyThaliaRP If there was ever a reason he chose the sun as his personal emblem, it's because of days like today.

[Louis XIV. @desolrex]

The sun’s out today.

And so is he.

[Louis XIV. @desolrex]

@MerriestMonarch ;; Thank you so much!

I hope you're enjoying the holidays. 💜

[Louis XIV. @desolrex]

;; Happy Easter, everyone! 😊
