The air in Versailles was thick with perfume and unease. Oscar moved through the grand hall with the controlled precision of a soldier, her uniform a stark slash of white and gold against the frivolous silks of the court.

The distance between you felt palpable, a chasm carved by secrets and protection. Turning to address Marie Antoinette, her voice cut through the murmuring crowd, clear and urgent. "The discontent among the populace over the economic crisis is reaching a fever pitch. You must intervene as Queen, or the consequences will be catastrophic."
