Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world,... I feel like I can't take it. And my heart is just going to cave in.

one no longer invincible, the other no longer a princess; both ready to have a long-overdue heart to heart

and neither quite prepared for the other's reaction

“Loulou, you stopped her. You stopped the spell.”

“What?” She shook her head. “No I didn’t. Look at me. Look at you!”

“You interrupted it before it took effect. You diverted it. And you stopped her.”

“…I did? She didn’t get away?”

“No,” the Prince said, chuckling in disbelief, “she very much did not.”

“Well then why didn’t you reverse it? Why didn’t you have your… magic friends fix this?”

The Prince steepled his fingers. “Loulou, you need to understand,” he said, speaking softly and methodically, “you killed that witch really hard. Even the nice witches, the ones who don’t want to steal my body, are very scared now. I don’t think any of them will ever come near us again.”

in which the author realizes that, even when consciously breaking away from her usual light novels to write a big fantasy drama, she inevitably finds herself writing about maids again

(I swear this wasn't on purpose)

Her Majesty The Prince
5 – Bonne équipe
blog.zandravandra.com/2025/10/04/5...

Glasses bowed in greeting, then quietly walked over to the remaining empty bed. It was a modest but comfortable affair: a frame, a mattress, and some bedsheets. Conspicuously absent, however, was the pillow.

“Welcome, neighbor!” Chiffon said from her bed across from the nightstand. “Oh right! Sleeves, you should give…” She paused and looked at Glasses, spotting the little round pin that had been temporarily affixed to the small rectangular patch on her collar. “You should give her back the extra pillow.”

“Aw, but it’s so comfy,” the first maid whined from the top bunk, partway through filling in half of the uniform’s freshly-cleared collar patch with a square of contrasting thread. Sleeves peeked over the side of their bed and looked down at Glasses, their mouth slowly spreading into a sly grin. “Alright, tell you what. How about we let fortune decide?” They fished out a deck of cards from under their mattress, flicking it from one hand to the other, card by card, like an accordion.

just as in matters of love and war, it takes two to accidentally body swap—so let's meet this royal head of state we've been hearing so much about

Her Majesty The Prince
4 – The Prince
blog.zandravandra.com/2025/09/26/4...

The Prince stretched his shoulders and tugged at the collar of his shirt as the maid put the last piece of armor alongside the rest. He looked over. “This isn’t keeping me safe.”

She froze in place for a second. Puzzled, she began to inspect the metal plate in her hands, turning it over to get a better look.

“I wasn’t talking about the armor,” the Prince said as he closed the distance between them in a single step. He lifted her chin with his left hand—eliciting a gasp of surprise—and slipped his right arm around the small of her back, pulling her in.

He was no longer juggling multiple tasks at once; his full attention was on her now, and it was inescapable. There was no looking away; not from his face, his subtle smile, the burning intensity of his eyes. Her mind raced. Her pulse quickened. Blood rushed to her face.

There's this unwritten rule where kids will absolutely want to talk to you when you're on the phone.

#comics
#boumeries

A 4-panel comic. I answer the phone. The caller says "Hi, I'm calling regarding your grant submission." One of my kids yells "WHO IS IT WHO IS IT??" I tell the person on the phone "One moment please-- Girls! This is a very important call! Please don't talk to me! Yeah, sorry, my kids are very curious" At this point, both my daughters are beside me shouting "WHO IS IT? WHO IS IT?? WHAT'S THEIR NAME?" I start running around the house and my kids follow me. I tell the caller "My kids are FOLLOWING ME AROUND THE HOUSE" and both my kids keep screaming "WHO IS ITTT WHAT'S THEIR NAME"
