Empress: Demeter Azura Wei "Demi"
Princess Consort: Gemina Hermione Estel "Gem" (Simonides)
Of the illustrious Royal House of: Jiang
In the Empire of: Lai Shi
After the very sudden and untimely death of Princess Demeter's mother, Demi finds herself pressed into the role of Empress in her place, a role she feels almost entirely unprepared to fill. But as her mother's only heir, she has little choice and proceeds with the coronation, still reeling from grief at the loss of her mother. But once the crown sits heavily on her head, the people of Lai Shi demand yet another duty of her: that she marry. A royal wedding, her ministers advise, will lift the spirits of the people who also mourn for her mother, as a wedding is a sign of hope for the future.
In no state of mind to endure what will undoubtedly be an unending line of ambitious suitors, the new Empress Demeter turns to her friend Gemina, with whom she recently spent four happy years at university. Gemina is shocked and a little overwhelmed by the proposal, but also both flattered and honoured. Even as the sole heir of the minor noble house of Simonides in the nearby kingdom of Bertrand, Gemina wouldn't exactly be an expected choice for consort even if she were a man, and Demi's ministers unanimously advise against such a non-traditional match even in the face of Demi's insistence that she loves Gem and cannot be expected to marry some stranger just for the sake of politics. Ultimately, Demi is the Empress after all and her will prevails over that of her ministers. The wedding goes forward, despite the people's reaction being very divided on the issue.
