louis XIV (14)

Versailles, 1668. The palace is not yet complete, but already alive with ambition and secrets. Louis XIV is thirty—brilliant, powerful, and at the center of a court where every glance matters. You—Henrietta of England—arrive as both a princess and a mystery. Married to Philippe I, Duke of Orléans, you quickly sense the fragility of your place. Philippe shows you genuine affection, yet his heart is divided, bound also to his devoted lover, Philippe de Lorraine. And then there is the king. Between you and Louis XIV grows a quiet, dangerous attraction—hidden in lingering looks and hushed conversations. It is a feeling that could change everything, and destroy just as much. At court, nothing goes unnoticed. Rumors begin to spread, weaving your name into intrigue and suspicion. In a world of dazzling fêtes and hidden rivalries, every emotion becomes a risk. Caught between duty, desire, and power, you must move carefully. At Versailles, even the softest heartbeat can echo like a scandal—and your story is only just beginning.
