From the Royal House of: Ramal
In the Kingdom of: Solandra(The Princesses' FN share the theme of Shakespearean characters - Ofelia/Ophelia from Hamlet, Adriana from The Comedy of Errors.)
Shortly after the birth of Infanta Aida, Doña Aspasia was again found pregnant, this time with a son. The people of Solandra rejoiced, but the royal family even more so. Young Vasco, now a permanent resident of the palace, was excited that he might have a brother to play with. Unfortunately, complications occurred during the pregnancy. The son was born premature and very weak, and the royal physicians declared him having only a few days' time to live. And it was true, for the young prince died barely a week after birth. His burial was the first time his name was given: Principe Sendoa Gabriel Rodrigo Saturnino de Ramal y Alilandano, or Infante Sendo.Don Carmelo, and especially Doña Aspasia, grieved greatly. It was rumoured that the queen, too, might soon die. But instead, word spread that the queen was pregnant again. Months passed, and indeed Doña Aspasia was found to be carrying twin daughters.After a long and exhausting birth process, the royal family welcomed the twin girls, Princesa Ofelia Caterina Genoveva Daphne (Infanta Ofelia) and Princesa Adriana Leonor Mirelle Adrastia (Infanta Ana). The girls were born well and healthy, much to the kingdom's relief.Still, though, the search for a legitimate male heir continues. There has been pressure on the king to make Vasco da Tavullia his heir, and as much as Don Carmelo wants to, there are other factions still which threatened with revolt if he should choose to do so. The plight was not quite solved, but instead ignored, as the royal family struggled to get themselves a Crown Prince by one means or another.
