Olivette

Julian made a flamboyant movement with his arm, hiccuped, “I am so bored.”

His eyes became wild, brightened by the flame of the hearth. A ship on fire, golden specks against a black night sky. 

“Why don’t we run away?”

“What?”

"Run away with me. We can just leave... hide in plain sight, go to..." 

The Prince pondered on it. 

"Germany? You can open your own bar and I'll become a teacher! Oh, that would be formidable, Toddlers are adorable..."

Olivette glanced at him, her heart aching, wishing he wouldn't talk so much when he was drunk. Yet... It was so tempting, learning everything he didn't want to say out loud when the prince was sober. 

"I believe you are trailing away from your point."

"Oh, yes, right. I’m tired, of this," a wild hand motion, seemingly pointing at the red leather chairs and golden chandeliers, "this... everything. This, nothing, it means nothing to me."

"But love," she hesitated to tell him the truth, to point out what they both knew to be true. 

"What?" Julian's brown eyes flashed sadly up at her, as she gathered the courage to whisper, 

"Why would you run away now? After... after you already lost everything you would run away for."

He frowned. 

"My love, am I not the reason you run? Do I not represent the crown, your unchanged future."

It was the truth, he had loved once, someone he imagined this future with, Olivette was the reason he didn't have that. She was the reason he was still here. 

He pouted, unintelligently perhaps.

"You sound very sober."

"Seeing you like this is like a cold glass of water."

They were quiet for a long time, eventually Julian spoke, 

"I love you, and even though you are the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen-"

Olivette didn't believe this, she too had seen the Siberian fjords and ancient lakes reflected in the Russian's eyes.

"-I will never be able to look at you without seeing a golden cage."

This sounded more like the truth, so the marchioness answered in return, 

"I just wished we had met without all of this around us... Just Julian en Olivette, I wish so much greater things for you."

The Prince was once again quiet, but in the end he mumbled, 

A novel I wrote when I was 14, hasn't left me since and I have been rewriting it for more than 10 years now.

Set in an Utopian future where the world is divided in continents and ruled from 7 co-operating governments.

Takes place at the royal court of the worldrulers, where a new Queen is to be chosen out of one of the 7 continents.

Zeus: if you could have one power, what would it be?

I always go between invisibility or flying lol Though could I say the power of the Avatar?

Poseidon: do you prefer the ocean or land?

Depends lol To live on: Land. Wouldn’t want to live on a boat :P 

Persephone: what’s your favorite season?

I usually say Summer, but at the moment I’m a bit tired of the heat lol But I usually like Late Spring/Early Summer/Early Fall. Somthing that isn’t cold or very hot >.< But in general, I’m biased to Summer even though heat.
