Both Ariston and Eloisa were devastated when they lost their first son only days after his birth. The king threw himself into his work, and, weakened from the difficult pregnancy and sick with grief, the queen was bedridden for months. Her only bright spot was baby Columba, barely a year old at the time and already beautiful and bright, and sweet little Nigel. The boy was still young but seemed to understand that the brother he'd been promised had gone away just like his real mother; Nigel spent all his time trying to make his "new mother" feel better, sitting with her and babbling away. Eloisa grew to love the affectionate boy and, as the family healed, found herself doting on him like he was her own. Years after Valerius's death, the queen got pregnant once again. She was terrified of losing another child; Ariston feared for his wife's health as she was once again weakened by the strain of carrying his baby. Everyone was shocked and relieved that the pregnancy yielded two healthy, gorgeous daughters. Nigel adored all his baby sisters and loved being a big brother, especially when Columba followed him around like a duckling or he got to hold Artemisia or Demetria. His tutors all reported that his sisters were just about the only thing he wanted to talk about during lessons. Ariston and Eloisa were pleased with all their children but knew that they have to keep trying for a legitimate heir unless they want the throne to be in question upon Ariston's death; the kingdom could very easily fall into chaos.
