...Someone, please, end my suffering
I find it pretty ironic that a French General is getting filthy rich through an invasion/conquest of Italy as well as establishing the groundwork for his own political rise. When in the distant past, a famous Italian General, who some might be aware of, did the exact same thing in France.

History likes to fuck with people like that. Even fictional history.
Even soft history.
You know I can't wait for an event for Max to be assassinated and the public won't mind at all

Rob is not going to be assassinated any time soon. Not unless there are nat 1's being thrown.
If there's a nat one people will say good riddance

nat 1's are very bad.
Lets leave it at that.
We don't want another civil war in France.
Or another monarchy restoration attempt.

Something that interests me is that Therese isn't really tapped in to normal people at the time. I think it was mentioned that she quite literally has no hobbies due to being so busy, nor does she seem to want to take part in any political discussions. I'd think it would be nice to explore her work life being practically her whole life and what that would mean, is she secretly depressed or something?
Sounds like a neat character study chapter if there ever was one.

you mean we haven't explored it already with her literally being... well, focused on military matters, her being social awkward with most other people, bumbling her way into things outside of her control?
She's not depressed... not yet at least... but lets just say that Plaus and I had ideas... that hit far to close to home for us.

I imagine the children are mood stabilizer.
Having people to take care can give some people a measure of....direction they may otherwise not have.

I sometimes think of inserting little bits of me into my writing, like just repeating a conversation I had over dinner with my family into a story, but with slight adjustments. Though I do hope to be careful in that as I don't want to make any one character into me.

We really thought of making Therse go into... interesting direction.
That we're very uncomfortable and decided against in.
Because Depression isn't fun.

Which reminds me. Since you've added some stats to Charlotte, does she still have the Melancholy trait?

No.
She has lost that.
Though for Louis... he's... very angry.

Could be a good thing, give a nice look into mental Illness and how to properly or not properly handle them. Though it would be extremely screwed up if there was a role in treating it and it just ended up making it worse.

You people are getting freaked out over nothing, what does it matter if he thinks little of you? He doesn't hate us, he just thinks of us as some girl he's gonna work with, nothing more, nothing less. It's the typical work relationship.
