Château de Tourac: 27 April 1850, 09:45
Marquis de Tourac: You called for me? 
Duc de Tourac: Oui, entrez. 
Tumblr media
Marquis de Tourac: Is something wrong? 
Duc de Tourac: Of course not. I merely wanted to discuss something with you. 
Marquis de Tourac: I see...
Duc de Tourac: First, I want to congratulate you on your conduct the other day. 
Marquis de Tourac: Merci. 
Duc de Tourac: You certainly did well to honour both yourself and this family. And as one of Thornolia’s most important families, you must think carefully about your future prospects.
Tumblr media
Marquis de Tourac: Actually, I already have someone in mind. 
Duc de Tourac: Oh? 
Marquis de Tourac: Someone who I think you will find more than suitable. I-

Steward: Monsieur, the doctor requests a word. 
Marquis de Tourac: Quoi? Is she-
Duc de Tourac: Nothing more than a small flare up. Try not to concern yourself with it. Though, unfortunately we will have to finish this discussion later. Apparently there is much to discuss.

L'Étalon d'Émeraude: 25 April 1850, 11:30
Marquis de Charlogne: And you believe he’ll be amenable?
Tumblr media
Duc de Tourac: There’s no reason for him not to be. He may have grand ideas, but I will not allow him to act on such impulse. Especially where they are concerned. 
Marquis de Charlogne: Très bien. Let us finalise the arrangement tomorrow. 
Duc de Tourac: Bien sûr. Shall we say-
Tumblr media
Marquis de Tourac: I do hope the two of you are not placing bets again. You know how well that worked out for you in the past, Monsieur de Robin. 
Duc de Tourac: I do not understand what you are implying, mon fils. I seem to recall coming out on top of that wager.
Tumblr media
Marquis de Charlogne: [Laughs] Only because you cheated! 
Duc de Tourac: [Laughs] Nonsense! I won that fifty Émeraudes fair and square!
Marquis de Charlogne: I still want a - Arthur! You made it! 
Tumblr media
Marquis de Tourac: Father, please tell me you’re not gambling. 
Tumblr media
Duc de Tourac: Of course I’m not. Actually, we were discussing a business venture. 
Marquis de Tourac: A business venture? What do you mean...Father? 
Tumblr media
Marquis de Charlogne: There’s no need for such formalities. Le plaisir est pour moi. 
Comte de Deauville: I thank you all the same. 
Marquis de Charlogne: Now, let’s order. I’m positively famished.

Manoir de Beauvais: 10 April 1850, 19:00
Marquis de Beauvais: I heard votre mère is dealing with another bout of illness. How is she? 
Marquis de Tourac: Truth be told she’s had better days. Though the excitement of the saison has certainly brightened her spirits. All she talks of now is how disappointed she is not beeing able to escort Violette to court. 
Marquis de Beauvais: I wish she wouldn’t worry herself with such matters. There’s nothing to worry about. Her health is far more important than escorting ma sœur and curtseying before the famille royale.
Marquis de Tourac: Try telling her that. 
Marquis de Beauvais: [Chuckles] En effet...though I do wonder if she’ll survive the end of the year. 
Tumblr media
Marquis de Tourac: Oui...
Marquis de Beauvais: Jonathan?
Marquis de Tourac: I’d rather not discuss the matter...Do you have any plans to persue a wife?
Marquis de Beauvais: Well...the right mademoiselle would have to present themselves. What of you? 
Marquis de Tourac: Ah....truth be told I may have already found her...
Marquis de Beauvais: Qui?
Marquis de Tourac: I am not at liberty to say, but Oscar...she is more perfect than words can express...she’s the one. I’m certain of it. 
Tumblr media
Marquis de Beauvais: I don’t believe I’ve ever seen you in such a state. I do hope for your sake the mademoiselle whose stolen your heart is to be presented. 
Marquis de Tourac: She is. 
Marquis de Beauvais: Then if I were you I suggest you stop at nothing to secure her hand. 
Marquis de Tourac: I already intend to. 
Marquis de Beauvais: Très bon. My...this is certainly a side of you I’ve never seen. 
Marquis de Tourac: Considering our long history, that really is something. 
Marquis de Beauvais: We are family, Jonathan. Cousins. Not to mention, aside from the Douairière, you are the only family Violette and I have left. It would be an insult if I didn’t know you even a little.
