She winces knowing the effort that had gone into building this Villa in the first place but... it’s not Jeanne’s anymore. Such is life, as they say, and the constant repairs make for great tax write-offs. Even some of the younger competitors are relatively unphased. If you had told Victoria Royale even twenty years ago that this would be like this, you would be in the dungeon or an asylum in minutes.

>>18761182>[A slight chuckle escapes Her Majesty.]“I suppose I am ‘The Queen’. Not right now, though. It is a complicated sort of system, Miss Jefferson. You will learn around here that not everybody is the person you will see on television. Indeed, not everybody is what they may appear to be. But your friends here,” she says, gesturing vaguely towards Ash and Sola, “seem to be ones to keep close to.”
>>18761091>>18761204“Indeed, both of you have been working hard. I see your hard work reflected in Miss Jefferson, Miss Romero. Perhaps when the time is right, I might seek to see your skills in person. And you, girl; I saw what you said recently, and more important how you said it. I said your name wrong, and you did not even try to correct me. Yellow is a good colour for a jacket, not character.”
"All of you, I insist, enjoy your party. I shall be around, if you wish to discuss more."
