The coronation had come and past. The last week had been quite a whirlwind. They had gotten to Bordelaix, and barely had a chance to get settled back into their home away from home before the big ceremonies began. And now that oathes of fealty had been sworn and the major event had passed, there was still a plethora of things happening in the city. Joseph had half a mind to just head back home, preferrably with Charlotte, but also he thought there was value in his staying. He could speak to more of the other Lords in attendance as they were all in one place.
Certainly, each of his family had their own take of what they wanted to achieve while they were here. No doubt, Richard had come to make a very public display of his support for Tamara, despite everything that Joseph believed and said. Charlotte in her own way perhaps the same, though he wondered if she was also attracted to the way of life in the capital. It was much different than back home, certainly, where his children as he had himself spent much time working with their hands. He hoped that Douglas was here to learn, as was what he'd counselled him to do before they left home, and his youngest, Victoria, was probably to enjoy the trip as a vacation.
Whatever his perception was of everyone's time at court so far, he wanted to hear it from their lips. He'd made it a point that morning for the servants to prepare a particularly savory meal for breakfast, and then shepherded everyone into joining in for a family meal, lest they decline him for a reason.
"And how are you this morning?" He thought to ask, one of those in the room.
