Deceiving Majesty

{Diamtante experiment} I'm not sure how many times in life I've felt like I was wearing a mask for the benefit of others. This is about the cracking of the facade, but only when the queen is alone. It wouldn't do at all to scare the court.

Queen

Beautiful, perfect

Sitting, smiling, lying

Opaque, elegant, deceitful, gracious

Drowning, crying, dying

Cracking
