Very much has happened within the royal family these years, all an odd balance of good fortune and tragedy.
To start, King Philip II ultimately declined all the diplomatic meetings involving his possible marriage to Princess Nicola, and to Europe’s shock it was discovered he had secretly married an Aragonese Countess. Naturally, the Princess and Duke Korbinian Amstadter wed a month after the news leaked, and three years later welcomed Prince Otto.
This had formed so many fracture lines in the already-fragile relation of the two countries, and so the King and Queen arranged a marriage between Princess Eunice and the young, French Viscount Florian. Although he does not hold much weight under his title, the Viscount is of the House of Courtier, a formerly noble lineage that under threat of bankruptcy handed off power to the House of Boucher fifty years prior - the House of King Philip’s family. Their generosity and goodwill had cemented a good reputation among peasants and nobles alike, and one foreign-language prodigy, Viscount Florian himself, had been the English and Aragonese tutor of the future French king. The Princess Eunice and now-Prince Florian have become a lovely match, with her love of literature and his love of linguistics, and the Princess has even visited King Philip II in his palace three times in the two years of her marriage. Things have settled down for England, although the King and Queen will not hesitate to step in should King Philip invade the south-east. (Oh, and the youngest Princess Sabeline did get engaged to the English Count John Frostenden-Seely; it was a quickly planned affair, as you know some marriages must be, although her parents don’t have the heart to shame her.)
Now, earlier on, around the time of Princess Nicola’s marriage, the Prince and Princess had a child, the only granddaughter of the King and Queen, Princess Zenobia. She’s just the most spirited little doll, and soon after Princess Beatrix was pregnant with another. However, the pregnancy turned out much more dangerous than it seemed, and after 7 1/2 months two children were miraculously removed from her alive. The ultimate tragedy, however, was the Princess’s death; she had died during the operation. The Prince Percival was distraught by her passing, his one and only partner, but he tended to the children and titled them Prince Ferdinand and Prince Leonard.
Around thirty months later is King Ruairidh’s 28th birthday. After a year of nervous national energy and a surge in church attendance, all anyone can do is drink and sing in relief, and as many as can ride or walk to the ceremony come to the wedding of the King and his Queen Blanche. There is no surprise in the Queen’s quick pregnancy, although there is confusion as she is suddenly as adventurous as can be to hidden within the royal estate. The sudden shift was from the royal doctor’s conclusion in her 5th month: there is more than one child. The Scottish King and Queen gain all their nerves back with this realisation; what if she must meet the fate of her sister-in-law Princess Beatrix? The months pass, and she grows, and the passing of 7 1/2 months goes unnoticed under the fog of anxiety. And truly a miracle comes to pass with them: at two days before the assumed due date Queen Blanche has three sons, all in one hour! There is no end to the shock, and the Queen, with full power from her husband (just thankful to have her), names the first of the three Prince Peregrine Ives; she always wanted to name her firstborn son after her loving fathers. The next two are Prince Artemas and Prince Sylvester: the silent, glowing Artemas is simply a gift; the final, yowling Sylvester light-heartedly believed to be something that pounced from the dark Scottish forests when no one was looking.
