From the Royal House of: Whitelake
In the Kingdom of: LegatoShortly after Alouette's birth, Queen Ysabel conceived again. Unlike her first pregnancy, this one was difficult. She was often sick and couldn't keep down much beside weak broth. She went into labor a month early, and gave birth to a very small, very weak son.The king named him Armel - "stone prince" - hoping to instill some strength in his first legitimate son, but the doctors warned him that the prince would not survive long. Sure enough, just three days after his birth, Prince Armel passed away.Ysabel was devastated and all but locked herself in her chamber, refusing to see anyone but her daughter, who was only a year old and didn't understand why her mother never seemed to stop crying. The king said very little regarding the death of his son, but it was obvious to those around him that it had been a serious blow to his happiness.In time, the queen regained both her physical and mental strength. King Frederic didn't want to push her, but he was anxious to have a legitimate heir to the throne. Ysabel understood that part of her duty as queen was to provide the kingdom with an heir, though she was afraid to go through the pain of losing another child.The queen did become pregnant again, and this pregnancy seemed almost rougher than the previous one. She was confined to bed most of the pregnancy. Alouette stayed stubbornly with her mother, and the chubby little toddler brought many smiles to the sick queen's face.Halfway through the pregnancy, the doctors measured her and told the king and queen that the queen's weakness this pregnancy was likely due to the fact that she was carrying twins. Sure enough, months later the queen delivered two healthy twin girls - Estelle and Oceane. The delivery, however, took a lot out of the already weak queen, and she found herself bedridden even after the twins were born.With three princesses but no prince, the subjects began to murmur about the possibility of taking Piers from the Chevaliers and making him Crown Prince. However, the king thought it an unnecessary formality. If there was no legitimate heir, Piers would take over as king when Frederic passed. Officially making him Crown Prince would just complicate things in the event that a legitimate heir WAS born, and would take him out of Chevalier training, which he seemed to be enjoying.
