So Princess Skye’s favourite anime is this series called ‘Rose of Versailles’ its really old and pretty long, I don’t know much about it so I thought I’d have a chat with the main character and see what all the fuss is about.

Milky: Hi, so thanks for joining me today. I hope the tea is allright. To begin with, could you please introduce yourself?
Lady Oscar: I am Oscar François de Jarjayes, daughter of General Jarjeyes and Commander of the Royal Guard.
Milky: Oh, I see. Nice to meet you. So, I like the uniform, how did you get in to the Guard and do you like your job?
Lady Oscar: I was raised as a boy by my father, and learnt fencing from a young age. I didn’t intend to join the guard but eventually I gave in to my father’s wishes. Its not a bad job, but sometimes I get tired of babysitting the Queen.
Milky: That would be Marie Antoinette? What do you think of Her Highness?
Lady Oscar: shakes head She’s a flighty, frivolous young woman but I believe she has a pure heart.
Milky: Why do you think your story has been so popular, I mean there’s even been a live action movie and an Takarazuka production.
Lady Oscar: It’s a classic tale of love and tragedy, civil war and the struggle for justice. I’m told it’s pretty too.
Milky: So how does it end?
Lady Oscar: I’d rather not talk about that…
Milky: Well thank you for your time! Thats it for today, so why don’t you all go and check out Rose of Versailles? You can learn a few things about the French Revolution and see some great sword fights and balls while you’re at it.

Milky xoxo
