location: the streets of rome.Β
charlotte knew she was supposed to make new connections and meet other royals. but everything was so ... overwhelming, to say the least. she wasnβt acostumed to be in the same space with so many people with different cultures, religions and beliefs. growing up inside a bubble of catholicism and european culture, the english royal family was the closest thing to foreign royals she contact as a child. however, they were her extended family and her mother incorporated many aspects of the english and scottish court as she could in the french court, and theirΒ air of novelty didnβt last long enough.Β
but the summit in rome was something different ---- there were people from countries charlotte only read in books, and such little things. it was almost her dream coming true, if she wasnβt so nervous. charlotte was aware of her diplomatic skills and her friendly behavior, but that would be enough ? she wasnβt the one supposed to make the treaties or marriage accords, but she knew that winning people by friendship was better than by fear. time had proved her that, and history books too.Β
eyeing another woman, probably close to her age, in almost the same situation --- standing alone and engulfed in quietness --- charlotte smiled to herself. she seemed to be of royalty too and probably someone that needed her company. approaching softly, to not disturb the foreign lady, charlotte put her best smile on her face before speaking.Β β i am sorry for interrupting any thoughts you could be having, my lady, but i thought you might enjoy some company ? β
