The Departure of the Last

Same date, three o'clock in the afternoon. In the Palace of Versailles.

In Daphne's bedroom, her personal maids, Elise and Maria, were assisting her in getting dressed for her departure. The outfit she chose for the journey was a practical yet elegant ensemble, suitable for travel. It was a functional dress, designed for comfort during the long trip to Quebec, but still maintaining the sophistication expected of her status. The maids worked efficiently, ensuring every detail of her attire was perfect. Daphne, meanwhile, appeared calm but contemplative as she stared at the vanity mirror, reflecting on the journey ahead.

This was the moment she had been waiting for. She was about to govern her own domain like her siblings. She had long envied them, but now, her dream of contributing to the French Empire's success was becoming a reality.
