The twin princesses were just barely 3 when Queen Cosima was discovered to be pregnant again, though she and the king had made attempts to become pregnant before then.
She was weak throughout, but felt well enough, and finally passed away in her eighth month. The baby was saved, but King Dei, mourning the woman he'd loved since he was only nine years old, did not even want to see the child, his heir. He locked himself away in a room that had been designated as his office, and refused to come out for anything short of the queen's funeral.
The newborn prince was not named until nearly two weeks after his birth, when King Dei emerged from his office and handed the nurse hired to care for the boy a piece of paper.
"That is his name," King Dei told her. "It is an anagram of his mother's."
And thus Prince Malachi was named.
It was a year and a half after Malachi was born that Dei's advisors began suggesting he remarry. Dei was not passionate about the idea, but did think that his children needed a mother, and set off to find a new wife.
It was not long before he met Baroness Xanthia Esme Pearl Lucinda, and he was quite taken with her-- not in love with her, exactly, but interested enough--and they married before the year was out.
The children as of now are not quite sure what to make of Queen Xan. They still miss their mother, and haven't accepted Queen Xan as a replacement-- yet.
