DD: Princess Sabeline Hosianna Clara [2]
DS: Prince Joachim Robert Leopold [1]The kingdom has run smoothly; there has been no wars, no bloodshed, no famines nor pestilence. It would be inaccurate and callous to say there had been no hardships, though, for the youngest Rennes child Prince Hector passed away from a dangerous fall down stairs at the age of four. The mourning spread over the royal city and kingdom, and for as infinitely happy as the two newest infants made the King and Queen, still there was an ache for their departed middle-Prince.During the Queen’s pregnancy with the Prince Joachim there arose an opportunity to celebrate the deceased Prince Hector. Long had England been a centre of education, and so a group of noblemen approached the royal couple with a request. They asked for permission to found a university, funded by the taxpayer’s money. Often such requests would be reviewed incessantly in the previous decades of the kingdom, but there was enough money to use on such intellectual enterprises, and the King decided the matter after discussing with the Queen one night all the times young Hector would read books, any books, and then read and share them with the children he would see working on the royal estate or wandering around the royal city. Although they were not linked by blood, it seemed that the Queen’s dear Ives passed on his scholarly ways to the Prince Hector: and so it was settled. Prince Joachim’s first visit with the public at six months of age was with the purpose of attending his family’s opening of The Hector-Ives Academia Centre, an educational establishment holding a library furnished with works ranging from centuries-old treasures to small, cheap copies of classics any peasant could afford; all would be educated, all would read.
