. CLESTINE FT. AURORA - Tumblr Posts
Célestine's eyes softened as she listened to Aurora's words, the vibrant atmosphere of the festa junina temporarily fading into the background. "Paris does have a way of capturing one's heart, doesn't it? The energy there is unmatched." She spoke softly, smiled at the princess, touched by her interest in her home. "My village is indeed special, Aurora. The rolling fields, the warmth of the people, the sense of community... It's a world away from Versailles. I would love for you to see it someday. You would appreciate its charm, I'm sure." As Célestine sat by the bonfire, her thoughts drifted back to her village outside Lyon. The aromas of roasting meats and sweet breads mingling with the lively music reminded her of home. The rustic charm of her village was a stark contrast to the opulence of the world she now navigated. It was a place where the air was always fresh, the fields stretched out in a patchwork of greens and golds, and the people knew the value of hard work and community.
As the crown princess spoke of her troubles, Célestine's concern deepened. She reached out, gently placing a hand on Aurora's arm. "I'm so sorry about your cousin," she said sincerely. "I can only imagine how unsettling it must be, but fear not, I am certain that no harm will come to you or your loved ones. I would like to believe that the Tribunal will sort everything out." She knew it was wishful thinking, but she couldn't bear to see Rosa upset. When Aurora asked about her own well-being, Célestine took a moment to reflect. "I've been managing," she said, her tone honest yet resilient. "These festivities are a welcome distraction, but I can't help but think of my sisters.. I keep getting letters from my sponsor" she spoke frankly.
Célestine smiled softly at Aurora's words, nodding in agreement. "Indeed, sleep seems elusive tonight," she replied, her voice carrying a hint of amusement. "The energy of the festival is quite infectious, don't you think?" She took a seat beside Aurora, letting her gaze wander over the bustling scene. The sight of children laughing and playing, the aroma of sweet treats, and the vibrant music all created a tapestry of happiness that was both comforting and bittersweet. It reminded Célestine of home, of her sisters, and the simple joys they shared before the complexities of their current lives.
"It is nights like these," Célestine continued, "that remind me of the simple joys we so often overlook in our daily lives. The laughter of children, the warmth of a shared meal, the beauty of a starry sky... It all seems so far removed from the intrigues and burdens of court. These sights and sounds take me back to my village, to evenings spent with my sisters, where we would find happiness in the smallest of things..." She glanced at Aurora, noting her serene yet thoughtful expression as she gazed up at the stars. "You look like you have a lot on your mind," Célestine observed gently, she had known Aurora for quite sometime now. "Is there something troubling you, or is it simply the restless nature of the evening?"
