"You know. I could go for some Kalos cuisine! Maids, if you can, some salade niçoise, as Monsieur Demassieux might recommend. And for dessert, some crème brûlée, yes?"[break][break]

Estelle doesn't give him much of a reaction, then again she rarely ever did. With a slight turn of her head she made sure that the woman beside her jotted down the Duke's wishes properly. "Tell the kitchen staff to quickly make adjustments." she said softly before dismissing the worker.[break][break]

Turning her attention back to Duncan she found herself swiftly regretting making the offer to give him a tour in the first place. His theatrics were...exhausting. "...Right..." she said as she pressed her lips into a thin line. An inaudible sigh escaped her lips before she gesture forward. "Then let's get started, we have a lot of ground to cover."[break][break]

🗡️🗡️🗡️

[break][break]

Estelle strived for excellence in everything she did. Most would call her rigid and uptight, but she just didn't want to leave things half-assed. So, the Baroness took her time to thoroughly get Duncan familiar with the estate's grounds. After all, she had been afforded quite a sizeable place to live so it was better for her to get him acquainted now than for him to get lost or in trouble later. Besides, it gave her staff more time to finish preparing a Kalosian meal worthy to grace his highness' palate.[break][break]

The last stop of the tour was his room, which was located in the same wing as her own. "Lastly, your room." she said as she opened the door and gestured for him to step inside. "I hope you'll find it to your liking." The room had been meticulously prepared by the staff here. In fact, this entire estate was meant to mimic the things they all knew and loved about home back in Galar. So it wasn't a surprise that the interior design would reflect as such as well.[break][break]

Estelle could remember being impressed with the architectural design of the estate when she first arrived. It really did feel like she was back home. Duncan's room was large and featured everything he might have had in his own abode back home. He had an in suite bathroom, a large luxury walk in, a balcony with a great view, and more space than he probably knew what to do with.[break][break]

Estelle walked towards one of the doors in his room and nodded. "This door leads to a shared suite. It serves as personal resting room or study, if you so choose." she said as she opened the door and pointed towards the other end of the room. "And at the farthest end is the door that connects to my room." The faintest of color could be seen coloring the Baroness' cheeks, if one had a discerning enough eye.[break][break]

History dictated rooms like these were used often among Galarian nobility. Married couples maintained their own separate spaces to allow moments of personal freedom, but never so far out of reach of their spouse. "...So don't hesitate to find me should you need anything." Estelle continued before checking the time on her phone.[break][break]

She cleared her throat for a moment. She'd done more talking than she was quite used to because of the tour. She could feel her vocal cords tire already. "Lunch should be ready shortly. If you wish you can wash up or unpack while you wait out the last few moments." She said as she began to anxiously fiddle with her silver locks. "I can wait for you here if you desire time to yourself."

Estelle hadn't been given prior notice who her partner for this mission would be. So imagine her surprise when she came face to face with the man that had been essentially a father to her for eight years. "Dame Valentine." he addressed her by her old title as he formally bowed towards her in greeting. "It has been too long."[break][break]

"Please." she said with a gentle voice as she held a hand out. The title was nice but she would always prefer for him to address her with familiarity. After all, she considered him family. "Call me how you used to." she said with a soft smile. "That is, unless you prefer titles. I'll happily address you as such, your grace." her tone was light and playful but still held proper respect for the man standing before her. [break][break]

If it wasn't for him she wouldn't be here. She wouldn't have had a dream she so desperately pursued. She wouldn't have the accolades she now holds today. This man standing before her was the epitome of everything she stood for. In her eyes, he was on the highest pedestal. She couldn't remember the last time she'd seen him. It'd been years. [break][break]

"I didn't expect to see you here." she said softly. "Have you been well?" [break][break]

Suddenly a deep cry echoed through the caverns halls causing Estelle to jump and quickly scan the area. "What the--" she muttered as her hands flew to the sword on her hilt. The sound wasn't close, rather it sounded like it came somewhere from far below. But with the reverberations from the cry, the debris of rocks and other sediment trembled and rattled.[break][break]

The cry served as a quick wake-up call from the tearful reunion. A reminder that Estelle was still here on business, with a mission to scope out and explore this unknown area. "Right..." she muttered before glancing towards Gwyar. "Should we walk and talk?"[break][break]

"Will you be quiet the whole trip then, Estelle?"[break][break]

Estelle could hear the smile on his lips and she couldn't help but roll her eyes. She was inclined to ignore him but she knew that wouldn't only serve her more trouble than good. "Is there any reason for me to speak?" She asked as she continued her hike through these wildlands. "Division in concentration could lead to a fatal accident." she continued as she swiftly scaled over a large rock in their path.[break][break]

"It'd be better for both our sakes that we keep our wits--" she paused as she looked back to offer Duncan a hand only to notice a paleness in his face and a slight tremble in his bones. "...about us." Her brows knitted together in confusion. This was unlike him, she'd never seen him like this before. He was smiling but it..it wasn't the same.[break][break]

"Are...you alright? Did something happen?" Estelle asked, genuine concern written all over her features.[break][break]

[break][break]

Just as Estelle spoke she noticed large gashes on the rock she had just scaled. It wasn't just on the rock either but on the trees nearby too. Estelle's frown deepened as she gently touched the gashes. "...Impressive" she muttered to herself. It seemed to be from a sword. In order to leave such a mark on rocks one would have to be quite skilled with the blade. Too much pressure on any given point could lead the blade to crack and shatter.[break][break]

"Your grace, take a look at this." Estelle spoke freely to her fiancé for the first time in what would seem to be forever. One could tell by the glimmer in her eye that she was beginning to get excited. Perhaps that was why she spoke to Duncan without reservations like she normally would. A slip of the tongue while she was momentarily distracted.

Duncan's smile is still just as annoying as it was all those years ago. Estelle knew she was being unreasonable but she couldn't quite explain why her fiancé's presence vexed her so. It just was. Perhaps it was because it felt like he never took her seriously or maybe because she felt like he was always teasing and looking down on her. Either way, she didn't let it show on her face.[break][break]

When Duncan rose to his full height Estelle finally raised her head as well. "I came of my own accord. I assure you, Pepper is more than enough protection. I waived off the group that wished to join me before I made my way here." Estelle frowned slightly. That was no way for royalty to arrive, especially in country were tensions were a little strained.[break][break]

Even if Duncan was capable of protecting himself, there were still certain protocols he had to follow. Estelle resisted the urge to sigh and rub her temples. Not that anyone was going to be able to check him on those things. She'd just have to clean up the mess herself. Consider that an additional reason her 'dear' fiancé caused the young Baroness stress.[break][break]

"I see..." is the only response she gives before stepping aside and allowing Duncan entry into her home. "I am parched though. What is for lunch?" he asks as he steps through the threshold and into the foyer. Estelle had already waved down one of the staff and was informing them to keep watch for the duke's entourage that would be arriving later.[break][break]

With a raise of her hand she halted the staff member's retreat and turned towards Duncan. Ever move of hers was graceful and refined. "Lunch is currently being prepared. If there's anything in specific you'd like then let me know and I'll have them prepare it." she said with a nod towards the staff who readied a pen and pad should the duke request something specific.[break][break]

Once that matter was wrapped up she'd walk towards Duncan and gesture forward. "In the meantime, allow me to give you a proper tour of the place." With another wave of her hand another staff member would step forward. "They'll take your belongings to your room while we walk." She said smoothly as she waited for Duncan answer.

With her recent endeavors in joining the Rangers it was no surprise that Estelle found herself now here exploring the Giant Chasm along with other League forces. Not that, that was a problem for her at all. Above all Estelle was a soldier and Knight. Doing recon work like this was something she was used to. [break][break]

Hunting down targets even more so. [break][break]

What she hadn't expected was for her fiancé to follow her. It wasn't that she didn't trust his capabilities, after all she'd lost to him a few times and she considered herself to be quite skilled. She just wasn't used to working with him in this sort of capacity. It was fine as long as he didn't cause any issues. She wasn't much of a talker anyway, so as they made their way through the Chasm she kept to herself, keeping one hand on the hilt of her sword at all times.[break][break]

As they made their way through the estate, Estelle would have to stop every so often to attend to business from the workers. It wasn't necessary that she stopped to attend to each person but if it could delay the inevitable then she would gladly do so. It was evident by each pause though that the butler was growing restless.[break][break]

However, Estelle pretended not to notice. After all, his highness could wait a little longer surely. After signing off on an order slip the butler cleared his throat once more. "Relax, Edmund. We have time." she said with a cool tone before nodding and sending away another attendant. [break][break]

As if on cue, her phone buzzed from her pocket. Taking it out she glanced at the message and had to resist the urge to roll her eyes. "See, he's just arrived." She said with a nod as they finally began to head towards the front of the estate. As the pair got closer to the entrance she stopped and turned towards the butler. [break][break]

"Go and prepare tea and a light lunch for his highness and I in the glasshouse. Under the gazebo would be best." Edmund the butler seemed to perk up at the very notion. Was his lady finally taking the first steps to closing the gap between her and her betrothed? The Queen would love to hear this. "At once, my lady." the butler said with a proud bow before turning to leave on his heels. [break][break]

Once the butler was gone, however, Estelle's eyes seemed to grow ever the chillier. With an inaudible sigh, the Baroness wrapped her shawl tighter around herself as she marched forward towards the front door. Estelle's disdain for the Duke wasn't because of his status. Though she would be lying if the pressure of the arranged marriage didn't cause strain on the relationship. But rather, it was due to his personality. She had always believed after their first interaction that he was too arrogant for his own good. [break][break]

Though...perhaps that was her own arrogance speaking...[break][break]

She paused with her hands on the doorknob before sighing once more. Better to get this over with now. With that she swung the doors open to be met face to face with a rather humble looking prince, and Duke to boot. Crimson hues give him a quick once over but once her shimmering sanguine pools meet his golden ones it's confirmed that it is indeed her fiancé.[break][break]

Another cursory glance around his surroundings before landing back on him. A curious tilt of her head making everything she was about to say all the more predictable. "And...your entourage? Surely you didn't come alone?" she asked simply without any formal greeting. After a moment's pause she realized her error before a faint flush coated her cheeks.[break][break]

Swiftly correcting her mistake she makes a slight and formal curtsey in front of the Duke. "Apologies, my curiosity got the better of me. It's a pleasure to see you again, your highness." This is how it should be. A line she had always drawn between them, of proper formality. After all, no matter the status of their relationship, Estelle was determined to keep it professional.

"Madam?"[break][break]

The only sound that could be heard in the study was the sound of Estelle's pen scratching across paper and stacks of paper rustling as she put them to the side. "Come in." Estelle answered without ever looking up. The door creaked open as the butler made their way in. "His highness shall arrive shortly."[break][break]

The scratching of the pen on paper paused as crimson orbs peaked above the rim of her glasses. After a moment of silence she spoke, "Is that so?" she muttered before going back to filling out whatever document was in front of her. The butler stood there for a moment looking a touch awkward but when it seemed she would continue to allow him to do so he cleared his throat. [break][break]

"What is it?" She asked, once more not looking up from her work. "Madam...forgive me for speaking out of turn, but perhaps you can go an greet his highness?" This caused Estelle to place her pen on her desk with a heavy sigh. She was quickly reminded that even the people here were eyes for the Queen. She'd never be safe in her own home. [break][break]

Pushing herself up with a sigh she placed her spectacles on her desk and pushed the chair in. "Fine." she said with no indication of her frustration. "Lead the way." The butler seemed to relax a bit. It would seem his true employer would no longer be displeased now that he had managed to get Estelle out of her study.[break][break]

Estelle had been here for too long without reporting anything of note to the Queen. So she had decided to light a fire under her and send her fiancé as a threat. But also to 'help' her with finding the crown prince, Remiel Calcifet. The more she thought about it the more it was giving her a headache. She had no one else to blame but herself though. She thought she'd be a bit more free from the Queen's ire, but that was never the case.

Estelle had been in Hoenn for a while now and she had little to show for it. She was sure she would be contacted by the Queen soon, which would mean she would need to produce something of significance. After all, that's why she was here. That's why the Queen had selected her personally to come to this region. It was expected that out of everyone, Estelle would be the capable one. It was in her name, the 'Queen's Hound', it was in her blood. [break][break]

So, she figured one of the best ways to get involved in the region would be to potentially join the rangers. She'd be privy to information, while not military in nature, still insider information. She'd be able to patrol and keep and eye on things personally which meant she could use that to search for the crown prince. [break][break]

All in all things seemed to be in favor for her choosing this route but she was still hesitant. She wasn't quite sure how the region felt about foreign personnel within their ranks. Rangers were important, just as important as the military. But she hoped she could present herself in a way that would allow her to use this as her cover. Besides it wouldn't help to learn more about the Rangers while she was here.

Estelle's Plotter

Mireille x Estelle

Forgive the delay here, I thought I responded but I didn't. I blame my ADHD brain. But if the timeline works out then that's good for me. Then Mireille can officially be one of Estelle's squires. I plan on getting Estelle involved in the Rangers as well. I believe you mentioned something about Mireille being apart of that too, if I'm not mistaken? If so, I think that would be a good plot point to pursue between the two. She needs someone she can count on in an unfamiliar region. If you're willing to still plot/thread, let me know and hit me up. (Though my responses are faster on discord xD)

As expected, Cedric relented. Estelle managed to sigh an inaudible sigh of relief as she followed behind him quietly while he led her to the bedroom. She wasn't quite sure what she would've done had he insisted on his desires. It all worked out in the end though, at least as well as it was going to. [break][break]

Believe it or not, Estelle felt herself quite nervous at the thought of sharing a bed with him, no matter how indifferent she made herself seem on the outside. She'd never been in such a close and intimate environment with someone before. It was something to be expected though, as that's what her staff told her she would need to prepare for once she was married to his highness but...[break][break]

The sound of Cedric filling the bathtub startled her from her thoughts. Clearing her throat gently she decided to start unpacking her things while he prepared the bath. Estelle had packed lightly anyway, just the necessities. The rest she could cover with a simple shopping trip now that she was here. [break][break]

By the time the bath was ready she had prepared a small basket full of everything she might need for proper self-care. As she approached the room she watched as Cedric rose to his full stature, towering above her. She silently held his gaze for a moment before opening her mouth to break the awkward silence between them. [break][break]

"Thank you. You've been most help--" her words caught in her throat as Cedric's hands reached for the bow fastened firmly around her neck. In a flash, Estelle felt searing hot heat cover her cheeks before her hand snapped towards Cedric's wrist and secured it. In her panic her grip was a bit tight, even though she hadn't realized. [break][break]

"T-There's no need to force yourself to do this your highness." her words were rushed as she was clearly flustered. "You're not my servant. I-I can handle undressing on my own." her head dipped a bit as she hid away her embarrassment. It was the first time she'd ever shown such stark emotion before.[break][break]

Normally among the noble elite back home she was considered the ice queen, incapable of feeling emotion. But that couldn't be further from the truth. Normally she'd be more composed but in situations just like this, the iron clad grip she held on her reason fluttered away, gone with the wind.

"Would you care for food or did you want me to draw you a bath?"[break][break]

Now that she thought about it her body did feel stiff. As if instinctively her hand reached up to message her now noticeable aching shoulder. "A bath sounds lovely." she spoke softly. She resisted the urge to insist that she could prepare it for herself. After all, she knew when to pick and choose her battles with him. [break][break]

This whole arrangement was awkward, courtesy of her majesty the Queen. It wasn't like she could refuse either. Whether Cedric was aware or not, the Queen had eyes here in the region as well. Sure, there were things that were out of her control here and she needed pawns like Cedric and Estelle to do her bidding, but that didn't stop her from having additional security here.[break][break]

Having just arrived here herself, Estelle didn't have any time to figure out where those eyes were located. But she knew better than to fully let her guard down whenever the Queen was involved. That's why she entertained this ridiculous living arrangement despite the fact that she could easily secure her own living abode on her own now that she was here. [break][break]

She was a dog trained well, after all. [break][break]

"You may take the bed, I have no qualms of taking the couch. I want you to make yourself comfortable; I don't know how long we'll be here, but it wouldn't hurt to make the most of it." Cedric spoke after a few moments of silence. [break][break]

Sanguine hues shifted and turned towards the young Duke, her expression unreadable as she studied him for a few quiet moments. Then with a sigh she held out a hand as if to stop him from continuing. "I'm afraid I'll have to stop you there, your highness." Estelle's tone was cool and frim. The distance between them growing further as she now referred to Cedric by his title instead of his name.[break][break]

She knew there was no way he would allow her to take the couch so she wouldn't even attempt to argue that point. "It would besmirch what little honor I have left to put you out of the comfort of your own bed in your own home." She paused for a moment, searching for the right words to say. "We're both adults with common sense. I trust that we can both behave ourselves properly and practice due courtesy between one another." [break][break]

Estelle crossed her arms over her chest as her tone made this suggestion sound final, like she would take no further arguments. "We'll both take the bed. Nothing more, nothing less." She said as she fixed a strong gaze on him. "I'll accept no other arrangements." With a click of her heels on the floor she pivoted and closed the distance between the two, grabbing one of her bags. "Now, would show me where to put my things? I'd like that bath now."

Sounds like they're similar in that regard yeah. I'm down for it. The Fangs would definitely be well known because of their prestige. Often looked up to as the apex of knighthood, those within it's ranks are often nobles of renown or those with great talent. They probably seemed untouchable to a degree, at least before Estelle was put in charge. (Not a Captain of the guard but the right hand (wo)man of the Captain of the guard.) Once Estelle was in charge, I imagine she held routinely joint training camps for all of the knights to make sure they were all trained and not getting dusty during times of 'peace'. So that could've been one interaction as well.

As stated in my plotter here, Estelle graduated from the Military Academy when she was 21 and then went on to be personally knighted after her fierce loyalty and achievements/contributions, by the Queen herself. Mireille would've been 16 at the time, if you think that aligns with her timeline then I'd be happy to say that she was one of Estelle's squires, though the process wouldn't have been easy by any means. If the timelines work out we can talk more about what her time as Estelle's squire would've entailed.
