[ooc: The video clicks on to reveal a very French bedroom draped in elegant white, and to a young girl with flowing pink hair sitting against the window pane, a look of utter devotion spread across her face.]Ah, the sun rises even brighter when love chases the dismal fogs of Paris away! My heart swoons whenever I secretly utter his name-and, yet...

And whose name do you utter, dear sister? Why do I suspect that it is not the name of a Christian boy, a wholesome boy?

[royaleuphoria]

I-oh dear sister, Cornelia! I wish to cause no grief to you or to our weak mother and yet I cannot lie.

My heart does call for a Christian boy, but not one that is wholesome in the eyes of our family.

[glastonprincess]

You realize the consequences, dear Euphemia. Such a courtship cannot be allowed. You must think of our family, our reputation. Or has love blinded and maddened you?

[royaleuphoria]

I know, I have thought and dreamt of the consequences for many nights Cornelia. Know that you are the last person I would would ever want to harm.

But if love is madness, dear sister, I wish no sanity. If love is blindness, I wish no clearness for my happy eyes.

[glastonprincess]

You've strayed from the path that shall certainly give you happiness and protection. Security.

The path of love is one of thorns and sin. Believe not what you have been told by pretty mouths.

[royaleuphoria]

Security...It is a safe, pretty cage. But a cage, nonetheless, my dear sister. What if you leave me? I cannot bear it alone, Cornelia.

I understand. Yet do not all things worth living for have risks?

[glastonprincess]

I wish not to see you become a victim to sin, to deception. I would rather you marry a man whom I personally trust, a man who shall take care of you when I have departed.

[royaleuphoria]

I...understand, dear Cornelia. I will not fight against your wishes.

At least not to your knowledge, sister. Please forgive me.

[glastonprincess]

You shan't regret this, Euphemia, I assure you. You deserve only the greatest joys in life.
