The Castle of the Marquis d'Auvergne, 4

(click to enlarge)

STORYLINE: The rockstar removed his sunglasses and tapped on the keys of a small organ tucked in the corner dungeon cell. "Have you heard this song before, Monsieur Gustave?" The sound echoed in the stone chamber producing deep resonating tones. The old man shook his head. "My great great grandmother, Nanette was a pianist. She played at the local theater. One day The Lion kissed her fingers and said, 'Teach me to play as beautifully and I shall love you forever.'" The old man took his flashlight away from the rockstar for a moment. Sweat dripped down his face as he noticed his patron's eyes glowed red in the dark. He wiped his forehead, and continued. "All members of the Marquis' family died, including The Lion, who had sought his fortune in Paris as an actor. The only clue as to what happened to him was a letter to Nanette expressing his worry he was being stalked by some unearthly creature. The Marquis willed his castle to Nanette. Not long after, her body was found outside in the snow." The old man suddenly slammed shut the heavy cell door. The rockstar seemed neither concerned nor surprised. He looked up at the trembling old man, his eyes blazing like flames, "Did you like it, the song? It's not everyday one hears a long lost sonata written by their great great grand-mère." 

Shown above is the new Princess Zeelia dress by Junbug on sale at Secret Affair. I could not resist doing it since it was named after the fabulous Zee.  Nanette is wearing two Highlands gacha necklace gacha by Junbug. Junbug just recently renovated thier mainstore. There is a huge sale dresses being retired marked down to 125L. Head over to the Junbug Sale here.   For a more romantic Regency style hair, I used the Cersei hair by Tableau Vivant. The wispy fringe on the bangs is from the Iris D!va hair.   The lovely Pearls of Narcissus necklace is by Souzou Eien. It comes with a hud to change the jewel colors and metal colors.   In her hand, is the Crimson Peak inspired candelabra by Zenith on sale at Shiny Shabby.   In the background are the coats of armor by Death Row in the Mystic Bastian gacha from the Arcade.   Also in the background is a lovely simple low LI baroque organ with 3 songs for only 9L.   The candles on the floor and the sheet music are from Noctis Abandoned Piano set. Touch the music and the song will begin to play.   The Dungeon setting by WinFactory was on sale 50% before the inworld store closed, but you can still find it for sale in the marketplace.
