Juliette sat in her empty room upon a neat bed with her legs crossed beneath her long skirt and hair loose for once.
She scowled, glaring at the door of the room, how dreadful and disappointing life was sometimes?
The girl stood and paced the room, her bare feet making only the quietest of shuffles as she crossed the room. Back and forth, back and forth, pondering how wrong this all felt.
Charlotte and Jamie were over. She couldn't understand why.. All she had got so far was that Charlotte was being a whiny, spiteful child towards her beloved cousin. Jamie had been with her all through out Rothburg, he had been nearly crushed to death by a marked, and he had been a commander under Lord Commander Coen. How dare Charlotte get mad at him for choosing to stay with the Kronau Resistance and help save Regalia rather then come tromping home with his head held low in defeat? Jamie, for as much as the young Le Seur knew, had done everything to protect and save his family and city! She whipped around and say with a loud thump on the floor. Her arms crossed tightly as if she were protecting something pressed to her chest, and really she was.
She was protecting her poor, cracking heart. She had grown to love Jamie, he had been far kinder and more understanding than Darcie or Charlotte, he taught her to fight, he rarely had scolded her. Yet now she barely had the allowance to call him her family now it felt, and it was all Charlotte's fault.
Her face was red from anger, all the way to the tips of her ears. She grumbled and finally stood from the ground.
And..how dare Charlotte replace him before he had even arrived home from Rothburg? How dare she?
In the moment, the girl made a horrible and rushed decision on her part. That she didn't care of her cousin was happy with this terrible new man, he'd never be better than the one she was wed to before. And then the girl sat back on the floor and pressed her knees to her chest and broke down into sobs because she did care. She cared dreadfully much. So the girl made another decision that moment. One that replaced her previous evil.
That despite how terrible he was she'd give him his one chance, as she had promised Darcie after the woman had dragged her off for a good talk. One chance, and the girl swore to herself that if he hurt Charlotte or anyone else in her family- even Jocelyn- she'd make him regret even trying to step in the Rosendahl's place.
