Once She's Out of The Picture, He'll Be All Mine

Sophia took a deep, deep breath.

She composed herself, grateful only Louis saw her this way. 

God forbid someone else saw her this way… Nicholas especially.

She brushed off a couple of popcorn crumbs off her pantsuit and returned to her quarters to freshen up. 

Louis - after he made sure his sister didn't need assistance getting back to her quarters - had left swiftly. 

Life wasn't all rainbows and butterflies for royals, Louis was no exception. When he wasn't spending time with his family, he was fulfilling his royal duties. Advocating for policies, meeting other royals and foreign dignitaries and all that. 

Sophia changed into a more suitable outfit for the rest of the day. 

Later that afternoon, she'd be having high tea with Nicholas… and Ava, much to her dismay. 

She sighed, prepping herself to put up with Ava for yet another meal.
