[the trash prince of genovia]

live laugh love? nah. languish lament lay down

Ashildr laughed, “I think I might enjoy a little bit of boredom for a while,” She knew if she had stayed behind she would be in a great deal of danger. This was definitely better than that option. “I don’t mind you being a little bit spoiled. I’m rather fond of you after all.” 

“A spoiled prince,” Philippe said but was smiling as he wrapped his arms around her, “You have a spoiled prince for a lover. With you I could never be bored.” 

„And a distraction I may need.“ Philippe turned to her to pull her closer, „I must seem terribly spoiled to you. And yet I find your life so much more exciting. Just wait until you meet my brother. He is possibly the most boring human in existance.“

Ashildr preened a little at the compliments. She was very fond of compliments. “If you’re sure,” She didn’t want to stay here in all truth. She was scared of staying as things worsened. “You’ll have to teach me how to seem royal on the journey.”

“I will teach you all I know,” Philippe smiled and brought her hand up to to kiss it. “My star. But we ought to get you at least one new outfit so you look the part.” 

Ashildr appreciated what he was trying to do, “And what happens when they find out where we really met?” She didn’t think it would go down very well with his family. “I want to be safe too, but keeping me safe will involve a great deal of risk to you and your family.”

“I think I need to be less afraid of my family than you should be of a foreign military force, don’t you think, darling?” He took her hands into his. “I want you safe. I care too much about you. We can pretend you are a socialite I met.”

Ashildr smiled looking down at their hands. “Do you really think I can pass as a socialite?” She had her doubts. “I suppose we can make a very tragic story about how all my worldly possessions were taken from me,” Some of it could be explained away. “What happens when you get tired of me?” 

"Why should I ever get tired of you?" Philippe asked with a smile, "And even if I did, I wouldn't just throw you out. You let me stay here, too, didn't you?" He brushed a strand of her hair behind her ear. "You'd make a terrific socialite. You're a terribly gifted actress."

Ashildr appreciated what he was trying to do, “And what happens when they find out where we really met?” She didn’t think it would go down very well with his family. “I want to be safe too, but keeping me safe will involve a great deal of risk to you and your family.”
