Battle of Castillon, July 17, 1453, Charles-Philippe Larivière, 1839
At the Battle of Castillon, the last major clash of the Hundred Years War, English forces under John Talbot, Earl of Shrewsbury, were cut to pieces by massed French artillery. Talbot and his son were both slain. This painting depicts the moment of Talbot's death (inaccurately--in fact he was unarmored, due to a vow he had taken several years before).

Unlocked a good ending with the Prince 🥰
And with our boyfriend Armand ♥️ (nsft image under the cut)
I’m gonna miss them, this story, and especially Renée so much. What a great m.c 🙌
Looking forward to further replays & adventures however, as the branching in VV is unparalleled, & leaves so much more to explore…

So I played Queen Anne's retinue
I was curious what a Prince Philippe + Queen Anne's retinue route would look like, so I decided to choose it for my VFV replay, and I have to say, I have so much more respect for Anne after this.
She doesn't really approve of their relationship but doesn't discourage it either. It's funny to see her giving MC romantic advice to get with her own son.
She's very protective of MC and I find it endearing.
As it was to be expected, we almost never get to see Philippe in S2, especially since we're not in his retinue. On the other hand, we get to help Bonne escape her father's control, and now she doesn't have to deal with all the problems by herself.
This is interesting. Philippe mentions in S2E1 that his mother had Jules removed from court for introducing him to "the Italian vice", but her statement might indicate otherwise. Did Jules deceive Philippe in any way? Maybe he used him and broke his heart?
Even during the advanced stages of her illness, Anne commits to teaching MC everything she knows about spycraft and court politics, filling in for Alexandre (I had MC leave his control in S1 in this playthrough).
At her deathbed, she promises that MC and Bonne will be taken care of and mentions her "gift" (she wants MC to be made a duchess, so she can keep Bonne under protection from her father).
And the saddest thing is, I realized she cared for Philippe too, but never expressed it to him, or maybe he never noticed. I still hate that she humiliated him, made him feel inferior to Louis and antagonized both her sons all her life, but now I see Anne has more depth that she shows. She's so proud of MC for everything she accomplished. I wonder if she would eventually give her and Philippe her blessing? Anyway, it was very interesting to play this route, and I recommend you try it someday.
