DPrincess 3/4: (Princesa) Ofelia Caterina Genoveva Daphne / (Princesa) Adriana Leonor Mirelle Adrastia
DPrince 5: (Principe) Daniel Gaston Cristiano HermesFrom the Royal House of: Ramal
In the Kingdom of: Solandra(Since Doña Aspasia has all strictly feminine names, I've decided to use Gaston as the honouring MN, since it means the same as the late queen's "last name", that is to say, "stranger".)
Doña Aspasia is barren. That news has been officially declared by the royal physicians just months before she ironically announced pregnancy. At first, everyone could not believe her, but time passed and the queen was visibly pregnant. Strangely enough, she seemed to gradually weaken, slowly becoming a skeleton-like figure with an eerily bulging abdomen.Then one day, the news brake. Doña Aspasia is dead. She had died in her sleep, heavily pregnant, of mysterious causes. Some speculated a conspiracy in which she was murdered for political causes, to prevent the child in her womb from being born. Others still say it was simply coincidence.The good news was, though, that the child was saved from its mother's death; what's more, Doña Aspasia has exchanged with her life that of a Crown Prince! The son was officially declared to be named Principe Daniel Gaston Cristiano Hermes, or Infante Dani.Don Carmelo was greatly saddened with the loss of his darling wife, besides having also lost a son and a previous love in the past few years. The royal advisors pressured him to remarry, and so did his kingdom, citing the lack of a queen and a mother figure as reasons. Don Carmelo was tormented by the decision, but he finally gave in and married the youngest daughter of the Marquis of Sforza, Antonietta Moira Noemi Emmanuella. Since their marriage, the former Marquesa da Sforza was retitled as Doña Nedda, the Queen of Solandra.The royal princesses were excited with the arrival of a new mother. Being young enough to tolerate her presence more (Infanta Aida, the eldest, was four by the time), they began to gradually accept and even dote their "Mamma Nedda", as the new queen wished to be called. Strangely, it was the seven-year-old Vasco da Tavullia who waxed cold towards his new mother. When Don Carmelo, confused as to why Vasco accepted Aspasia but not Nedda, tried to convince his son otherwise, Vasco resisted, screaming and shouting that Nedda will never be his mother. Don Carmelo angrily reproved Vasco and sent him to his room, but young, fiery Vasco cut his finger with a nearby candlestick's sharp edge, ran to the cradle of newborn Dani, and dripped the blood across his brother's face, gravely swearing that he will protect Dani till his last breath. Don Carmelo, along with everyone else, was shocked silent that the young boy had such knowledge and will, but Vasco, having vowed himself as his brother's keeper, calmed down and left to his room as commanded.
