Beauty and the Beast — Episode 3

Careful. If that pin so much as scratches the silk, I shall have it melted down and turned into a button. I've dressed you for every ball since you were a boy, Julian. You don't know how to handle a sigil. You're just nervous.

Because they're all here to see if you finally choose a bride. They say your heart is as cold as the stones in this castle. My heart is exactly where it should be. Safely locked away so no foolish girl can find it.

And you're here to serve, not to lecture. Pin me and see to the kitchens. The hors d'oeuvres must be perfect. ¶¶
