It took me 3 days to plan everything in better details.
This time only, I would have made Isabelle look like a "real" heroine.
The tricky part was to "encourage" her to do what I wanted.
But apart from this, everything else was ready.
I gave clear instructions to Babette of how she has to behave towards Isabelle.
---------------------
It was Isabelle's turn to be the puppet.
And by my order ,Babette would have done most of the work, the hardest part.
----------3:00 a.m. ;27 September 1748--------------
...*Zzz*...*pant-pant*.. *zzz*
...*Zzz*...*pant-pant*.. *zzz*
...*Zzz*...*anf-anf*.. *zzz*
"*Gasp*...*anf-anf*, NOOOOOO!": Isabelle
.... *clomp-clomp*...
.... *clomp-clomp*...
.... *clomp-clomp*...
*BLAM*door slam open
"My lady... are you all right?": Babette
"*anf*.. yes ...it was just an unpleasant nightmare; damn it! ; ..
....
.... Get out; as you see I'm fine ":Isa
"My lady please ,let me help you change... your clothes are soaked in sweat":Babette
"*Mpfm! *I said go away!": Isa
"But..my lady!-" Babette
"*Um??? *":Isa
"I-I.; I can't stand how they treat you ;after all ,you are still a noblewoman; even a servant like ME has more freedom than you!": Babette
"*AH!*Watch your mouth!! ....i KNOW the position i'm in !, but what could I possibly do?! , I'm part to this family.
And Its as if I have a ball and chain attached to my ankle that gets heavier and heavier ; this keeps me from breaking free from this inhumane life ;...Do you understand ?": Isa
"....
.....yes my lady":Bab
" *ah!*if only i knew back then that i would end up like this-;...I wish i never got married!.
THIS SHOULD BE HER LIFE, HER DESTINY ,OF THAT STUPID AND WORTHLESS WOMAN,LEYLA ,.....NOT MINE!!!.
*Mpfm*If only there was a way to go back! , but How?": Isa
"I...": Bab
"*Um? *you know one!? , tell me!": Isa
"No, I can't, its too dangerous!": Bab
"I command you to tell me! , I decide whether I can do it or not!": Isa
"Umm.. well ; As you know by now, I have been serving the d'Alberic family for a long time.
I have seen and experienced firsthand the growth of this family, as it has acquired more and more honor and glory, but above all riches.
But lately, these years haven't been the best, and some rumors have been circulating; apparently there is a secret that this family badly guards ,the"HOW" they were able to obtain what they have to this day.
It seems that they did something no man should ever do!": Babette
"...what?... tell me,quickly!!":Isa
"The Duke of Alberic, he-..he-..": Bab
"Say it!": Isa
"He-....He stole from the king!!": Babette
"*Gasp*HE DID WHAT!?!": Isa
"Yes, if this reach the king's ears-,...I don't want to imagine what could happen!": Bab
"OH MY GOD; I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!! , I thought my life couldn't get worse!": Isa
.....
"*Umm?*but why are YOU revealing this to me!?": Isa
"I've already told you, I can't stand to see you in this state, a woman as beautiful, elegant and refined as you , left to ruin in this horrible place.... is unacceptable!": Bab
"Umm..? , all right; so what should I do to get away from this family?": Isa
"You should confess the crime to the king":Bab
"*AH! *HAVE YOU GONE CRAZY!??! , its like asking him to execute me!": Isa
"No, my lady, on the contrary; he would interpret it as a sign of respect, of loyalty to the monarch!!"
Put it in this way: you'll clear your reputation, you'll be rewarded and ,most importantly ,you would be able to return to your former life, the pleasant and rich existence you had before you married": Babette
"Umm...really? ; then if its so profitable this secret ,then, Why don't you confess it instead??!?": Isa
"You see, I cannot because, unlike you, I have no noble origins, my word is worth nothing against that of a noble, they won't believe me!": Bab
"Umm.. it makes sense; Well..if i do as you say; What would you want in return??,because nobody does or gives anything for free! ": Isa
"What I want is to be on your side ,please take me away with you!; I swear ,I will serve you even better than a queen!": Babett
"So it's a deal, you help me to get out of here, and I'll do the same": Isa
"Thank you my lady! , you are the most kind-hearted and generous noblewoman i ever meet.": Bab
"But there is a problem: we have no evidence to confirm the theft":Isa
"That's not true, my lady, we have it!": Bab
"Where!?!": Isa
"They are...*bla-bla*": Bab
*bla-bla*
*bla-bla*
*bla-bla*
------------------------------------------
At the crack of dawn, Babette had succeeded.
Isabelle a few days later would have asked for an audience with the king.
All I had to do was get comfortable and enjoy the show.
