In the Kingdom of: KyrnWith the financial backing of Xolan firmly behind him, just three weeks after his wedding Joseph Wilhelm ordered the Kyrnian military to attack Solandra. Up until this point, he had spent but four nights with his new bride, and his royal advisors were quick to remind him that the kingdom needed an heir to the throne. Joseph Wilhelm brushed them aside, declaring that once the Solandrans were taken care of, there would be time enough to think of children.The Solandran army proved to be no match for their opponents, and their strongholds fell easily. As king, Joseph Wilhelm was rarely at the battlefront, so while his troops claimed victory after victory abroad, he celebrated each triumph with extravagant parties in the palace. He was, after all, still a 17-year-old young man -- and as such, he demanded the best that his position could offer: women, drink, and other such diversions.But despite his wild side, Joseph Wilhelm was not a fool -- he was well aware that the war with Solandra would end soon in victory, and it was his duty to father a legitimate child who might one day rule the kingdom of Kyrn. Besides, he had grown quite fond of Cecilia, who showed an aptitude for politics and the subtleties of court that the young king appreciated. And -- not that he would've admitted it to anyone -- she was one of the prettiest girls he had ever seen.Three months after the wedding, Cecilia came to her husband and told him that she was with child. The king was ecstatic and ordered a celebration to be thrown in honor of his future son or daughter. Cecilia, however, was somewhat less excited about having a child. Still only 16 years old, she felt that she had never been given the chance to experience life. Plus, she could not help but wish that the father of her child was Breccan Pike, her fiancé from whom she had been separated when she was given in marriage to Joseph Wilhelm. Still, she did what was expected of her and played the part of dutiful queen and wife.A daughter, Genevieve, was born eight months later, in the same week that Solandra finally surrendered. To say that the mood in Kyrn was festive would be an understatement. A holiday was declared to celebrate the birth of the princess, and Joseph Wilhelm thrilled onlookers when he appeared at the balcony holding his newborn daughter. And for the first time since coming to Kyrn, Cecilia felt happy.Joseph Wilhelm departed a week later to oversee the signing of the peace accord in Solandra. Cecilia took the opportunity to spend one-on-one time with Genevieve, who until this point had been constantly surrounded by emissaries from the various provinces and districts, bearing gifts for the baby. Cecilia found that she liked being a mother, and even though she still wished she could go home to Xolan, her daughter was a source of much happiness.One day, Cecilia decided to stroll the grounds with Genevieve. Kyrn might have been a highly militaristic society, but the castle boasted gardens unlike any other. As she approached the stables, she spied a familiar figure in the distance. Cecilia had to stifle a gasp as the man came closer -- it was none other than Breccan.
