The Declaration of Love
by Jean François de Troy, 1731
‘ Abolished.’ She repeated disregardingly as she rolled her blue eyes. ‘ Sure l’assemblée has said that, but what if I have decide to ignore such a brainless decision.’ The former mistress asked boldly as she moved her arm to rest on the table behind her. Though she was a nice person when she wanted to be and did favors for people, Jeanne hadn’t bother educating herself on anything outside of the palace ever since she moved in. A flaw that would come back to bite her eventually. ‘ I don’t see why you tell me to caution against it when there’s no purpose in telling me to do so. ‘ She muttered angrily. ‘ It’s not like they plan on doing anything with me anytime soon. ‘
REPUBLICANS DO NOT TAKE WELL TO SUCH SAYINGS ! ❝ ci - citoy - citoyenne ! ❞ voice grows more insistent , warning even - for du barry remains oblivious to the true situation of france : foolish ! ! ! foolish ! ! ! but what should he have expected of a woman of the monarchy ? of all people , she was the mistress of a bourbon . he must bite back a sigh - agitation wearing down his seemingly infinite patience . collecting his words ; as if he were preparing for un discours in the assembly itself - prudent , patient . ❝ THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY , CITOYENNE , is a sacred institution of liberty ! the king is bound to a constitution now . these decisions - the abolition of feudalism and the nobility’s privileges were no ‘ brainless ’ decisions . ❞ a pause , ❝ your words might be perceived as a threat to liberty . ❞
The stuttering of the man had caused the mistress to chuckle, bringing her hands up to her mouth and covering it. ' Citoyenne! ' she mimicked him and propped her head up in her arm. Giving the man a devilish like smile before deciding to at least attempt to hear out Cambacérès. ' Sacred institution of liberty my backside. ' she rolls her eyes again. ' If it were such a scared institution, they would've taken the time to protect our liberties as well! And maybe my words wouldn't be a threat if my rights were kept Monsieur.’
