Everypony strives for perfection, and the current de-Lis matriarch has it in abundance.

As an aristocrat, Fleur has everything anypony would ever want: money, stability and a wonderful family. Outside of basic court duties and mandatory meetings with other members of the nobility, her life is incredibly easy when viewed from the eyes of an outsider. Yet, as the time to renew her marriage vows draws closer, Fleur begins to feel existential disdain. A sense of dread fills her soul, and a melancholy settles over her-- not that anypony would know; after all, a vow-renewal is quite a stressful thing to plan.

She has never loved her husband, that much has always been clear. They both know why. At least they're friendly to each other. They have a child. Vows should be simple.

When Rarity comes to visit to help Fleur tailor her wedding dress, things come to a head as she realizes where her turmoil really lies.

"They think I am just some princess they can control. That they can just order me what to do and have it done! I'm not a servant." Princess Emmalyne stopped short and winced. "Sorry." Her servant who was fastening the buttons on the back of her dress shook their head. "It's nothing Princess, please continue." Emmalyne gave a heavy sigh and looked back into the mirror. "It's just- I'm a person too. I understand I have duties and I know I have a role to fulfill. But can't I do them my way?" "It just not fair." The servant replied. "I understand." "Yes!" Emmalyne cried." Exactly." Hopping down from the pedestal Emmalyne sat in a chair to have her shoes placed on her feet. "Thank you, Kennedy, you're the only person who truly understands me." The servant merely nodded. :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Emmalyne Faust. Heir to the throne in the Kingdom of Legibus.

Finn has an honourable position; personal servant to the monarch of Cafi, a small country off the coast of France. He also has not-so-honourable a position; a man in love with another man, in the early 1800s. Oliver is being forced towards marriage, and Finn is being forced towards accepting his love is unrequited. As France begins to fall into another revolution, the world begins unravelling around them. Oliver has to fight to maintain the democracy he established, and Finn must cope with the reawakening of his less-than-ideal past as a con artist in the search for his long-lost brother. The two must learn who to trust and who not to trust as they begin to know each other more deeply than they every thought they could. Content Warnings Applicable to This Story: This book is set in the early 1800s, and I don't want to avoid talking about the horrendous things that happened to people of colour then. It will talk about slavery, but from a firm anti-slavery perspective, never glorifying or making excuses for it. Cafi itself is a fictional country and while I absolutely believe they would have had slave trade too (because most places did and I don't want to pretend they didn't), I want the book to include Oliver's fight to abolish slavery in his country. Otherwise, there may be previous mentions of abuse, but it will be extremely mild, nothing graphic, and the chapter itself will pre-warn you. Oliver's relationship with his family can be problematic at times. Please take care of yourself during any chapters that may be triggering for you.
