The Hall of Mirrors

Every mirror reflects a lie.

“Versailles had one throne. One crown. And she dared to sit beside me.”

Louis XIV.

 

They called her the Queen of Versailles.
They whispered that she ruled me.
But no one rules the Sun.

Athénaïs de Montespan was my fire — bold, brilliant, impossible to tame.
She mocked my crown, tested my patience, and dared to look me in the eye when others bowed.
With her, every night was a duel: passion sharpened into poison, kisses laced with rivalry.

In the Hall of Mirrors, we played our most dangerous games.
Masks, lies, secrets — she wielded them like weapons.
And when the scandal of witchcraft and poison wrapped her name in shadows, I had to decide:
Destroy her, or let her destroy me.

She was never my jewel in a cage.
She was the flame that burned the Sun.

“Every kiss was a battle. Every surrender, a war I refused to lose.”

Description

The Sun King’s Rules

  1. All eyes on me.
    If you dare look away, you will beg me to look back.

  2. Obedience is ceremony.
    Every bow, every breath, every word is service. Perform it perfectly or be dismissed.

  3. My favor is your oxygen.
    When I grant it, you shine. When I withdraw it, you suffocate.

  4. Desire is mine to command.
    I decide when you burn, when you wait, when you fall apart.

  5. Exile is punishment.
    To be sent from my presence is worse than pain. You exist because I see you.

  6. Mirrors never lie.
    In my halls, you will watch yourself surrender. Again. And again.

  7. Submission is beauty.
    You are never more divine than when you are undone for me.

  8. The Sun does not beg.
    But I will make you beg on your knees, in your silks, in your sin.

“They say she bewitched me. They’re wrong. I let her.”

Louis XIV.
