I can't believe my lunch break is done (being Employed is the only way I managed not to inhale this...)

I don't usually brace myself while reading a Cat Sebastian book but this one has a bracemyself quality. Everything is going to be fine but alsooo...I feel like this part is gonna be a bit tense.

Philippe II and Richard Lionheart NEVER beating those allegations

I've been waiting for this for MONTHS I refuse to inhale it in one day.

Cat Sebastian *weaponizes* domesticity and that's why she's one of the best to ever write in this genre

Happy Cat Sebastian new book day to all celebrating. It should be a bank holiday.
Now did I spontaneously wake up at midnight to approuve the preorder and load the book on my kindle? Maybe.

Family dinners must have been teeeense

"women be cray and jealous" and the woman in question is seething because her husband just gave away her hereditary claim to Toulouse. "she's probably just emotional"

And none for Gretchen W I mean Jean Sans Terre.
I'm sure not figuring out which lands to give your youngest son won't bite you and the realm in the ass in the future.

Ah yes i see my obsession with Aliénior d'Aquitaine more than renewed.
Aliénor: *flirts with her actual uncle*
Also Aliénor: Louis we shouldn't be married anymore we're related in the fourth degree

Trying not to sob in a café

Oh dear. That's NOT how Reims is pronounced.

I feel deeply depressed about a ghost.

oh that reveal was earlier than i thought.

Not to Freud on main but Henry II's marriage to Eleonor of Aquitaine makes so much sense when you learn more about the kind of woman his mother was lmao

This is making me so tense

It took 4 centuries for people to start saying "maybe starving entire cities isn't actually chivalrous"??? Damn.

"exit, pursued by jubilant Scots"

In Plantagenet england YOU are evil to your stepmother

Lmao Agincourt was actually super embarrassing for the french

The more an IRL coup sounds like the plot of avengers: infinity war, the less likely it is to work out.

I was about to say something about how the lollards would have been vindicated today with the CoE but apparently catholicism is currently overtaking anglicanism in the UK for the first time since reformation. So I'm guessing Thomas More is cackling somewhere?

Every single person always behaving like they knew Shakespeare is gonna write a play about them in the future.

This is what happens when a Plantagenet is also a theater kid (derogatory)
