I was busy with so much work and publishing any post was difficult. Any how, I'll try to become more active, so for now I'll leave you with a chapter of Madame Royale.
Next time is Blast from the Past.
Thanks for all the views and support!

The pounding of a strong fist causes me to startle, from my cold sleep. I wipe urgently at my damp skin and slip open the window, only to find William frantically pulling at the handles. “Your grace, you must run! They are to escort you back to Paris! Run you grace! Run!”
“William, calm yourself! What in god’s name do you speak of?”
I see the anxiety rush across his trembling face, whilst he chokes; “Your majesty, they have discovered the plan, they are to take your family back to Legislative Assembly, you must leave!”
My hands reach for my throbbing temple as I catch a deep breath. “No, it cannot be...where are my father and mother, the King and Queen?”
“Your family has been taken, your grace. But they beg that you leave, to not seek any pain or harm”
“No harm?” I let out a strangled sob before darting open the doors. “William pull free a horse, I must ride...”
“Where will you go, Madame?”
“To the docks, perhaps there will be some merchants that can lend me traveling gear. But before I go William, I shall want you to send word to my family”
“Anything for you, Milady”
This causes a smile to curl up my dried lips as I turn to the exhausted horses. “Tell them, that that I have flown to my homes nest”
His face fills with a complete confused looked, yet he still lowers himself and swears to his loyalty. “I stay true for you milady, and your family”
His face fills with a complete confused looked, yet he still lowers himself and swears to his loyalty. “I stay true for you milady, and your family”
“God bless you William” Soon as he helps me saddle onto my horse, I pull the reins of my mare tightly and burst on forwards. “God speed!” He shouts and in return I bow.
I must muster an army in Austria, I must restore my family.
