Under the Maltese Skies

[Loyola]

Loyola meets Charlotte's short and not confident smile with a wide smile of her own, It looks like she's genuinely happy to see it for whatever reason she might have. Maybe still a little bit annoyed on how Charlotte is trying to press her minor point and possibly not seeing the greater picture. Loyola is becoming much more relaxed and friendly as Charlotte decided to play along, She would tone her tone down to informal.

— It's sweet. You are still forced to accept it, which I don't like very much. I am not playing games and trying to be as honest as it gets. Can't blame you for seeing me as some evil person who captured and held you for three years for no reason. You were to leave this residence in, either way, I came to pick you up. The only question standing was what happens next. As you see I did not police Claire very much and she pretty much roams firmly out there somewhere. I value you a little more since your personality suits more for my vision of the future.

Loyola runs fingers through Charlotte's hair, not noticing herself how she started to do it but openly enjoying it nevertheless.

— Since you already addicted then I considered you to become the Grand Duchess of Malta as I and Joseph outlined. DeFrance is the powerful dynasty and despite being a foreign one, is feared and respected. In the end, it could serve well my people for uniting them politically. Some family unions could bring some fresh blood to both parties. While my people have turned out to be best lucky, we are still successors of Hispania and our nobility is fully legitimate by any law, what we share in common is looking down at other Houses as unworthy and rightfully so. I will show you the Hispania, it's not too far from Malta.

Outcast got overly excited by talking about her plans that sound wild at the very least. She would turn back down soon enough,

— I am sorry, I hate politics, not that I think that chances of implementing it are high. I am ready to do enough for you and it's very sad for me to realize that you might think that I am still your enemy or wanted to do any harm. I might be an idiot for having such plans for someone like you who wishes to have no faith with me at all, which insults me, even more, is that even the dire conditions are not changing your point of view whatsoever. But I also understand that family comes first and I am still willing to help you to sort out your problems, maybe this will prove my honest intentions and we could be back to these little projects of mine. I suppose you now want to send a message to your sister?
