Prince5: Hadrian Lysander Eliseo Amadeus Noel (0) From the Royal House of: Loden
In the Kingdom of: Sweetbourne
The House of Loden was once again rocked by tragedy when Queen Eloisa withered and died during her last pregnancy. Devastated, Ariston sat vigil over his wife's body for days, refusing to see his children or advisors. He only finally left Eloisa when Nigel stormed in and demanded that his father let him bury the only mother he'd ever known.Ariston had little interest in remarrying but allowed himself to be talked into a political alliance with the youngest princess of a distant kingdom that was rich in precious metals and spices. The alliance was vastly profitable, but neither Ariston nor young Melisande was very happy in the union. Ariston continued to morn his first wife, and Meli was young and overwhelmed by suddenly finding herself in charge of a kingdom and the care of five orphaned children, one of whom was a squalling infant.Columba and the twins didn't know what to make of Meli, but Nigel at least tried to make her feel welcome. He distantly remembered being thrust into court life, and, although he missed Eloisa as much as everyone else, he wanted Meli to feel like she belonged in their family. He told his younger siblings that mother would've wanted it that way as well. Many courtiers had come to admire young Nigel and, with Eloisa gone, some pressured the king to declare the boy next in line for the throne.
