In the Kingdom of: Solandra(An Easter Egg of sorts is in the final sentence of the final paragraph!)
More Scandal in Solandra!Recently, the new queen Doña Nedda has brought forth the second pair of royal twins! The fraternal twins were Principe Santiago Damien Valerian Orpheus de Ramal y di Sforza, or Infante Santiago, and Princesa Euphemia Filomela Sabrina Artemisia de Ramal y di Sforza, or Infanta Euphemia. The twins' names expressed the slight change in naming patterns, but Don Carmelo has insisted to keep the final middle name from mythology, as per his late wife's wishes.However, the births were also a cause for more rumours to abound. The twins were born in perfect timing, but Don Carmelo had only married Doña Nedda some seven months ago! The implication was clear: Doña Nedda was pregnant before the marriage. But the search for a new queen only began after the late Doña Aspasia died. Could this have a connexion?Doña Nedda herself was very distraught with the rumours abounding within Solandra, and tried to appease it as best as she could. Don Carmelo, confused as to what to do, simply remained silent on matters and grew cooler towards his new wife. His attitude made people speculate whether he had an affair with her while still married to Aspasia, or if the children were not his after all.The royal children all reacted differently to the matters. Infanta Aida, only barely five by then, simply thought that Mamma Nedda has gotten a miracle. Infantas Ofelia and Ana were much too young to hold opinions, much less the months-old Crown Prince. Conde Vasco, the eldest of the royal children (even though he did not officially hold the title of a royal child) grew even more distant with his father's new wife. He had resented her since the first day they met, and had shunned her even more. Frustrated tutors ran back and forth to Don Carmelo, claiming that Vasco would refuse to learn whenever Doña Nedda was around, and would escape class by all means possible (including, at one point, climbing out the window and scaling the walls, an action which got him locked in his bedroom for an entire day) and run to his brother Dani instead. And indeed, many a time Don Carmelo and the castle's attendants will find Vasco at Dani's cradle, gazing at his brother and speaking to him in low tones. The kingdom of Solandra, which had originally hated Vasco for his treatment of the new queen ("The Royal Bastard", they called him), slowly began to warm after him as soon as the queen's reputation began to deteriorate in their eyes and Vasco's earnest devotion to his brother was unraveled.Don Carmelo was confused, greatly so, with what actions to take. So far he simply decided that chaos is a part of peace, and that it will eventually return to normal. Still, words ring in his ears, words spoken to him upon his remark that this must certainly be a nightmare, words spoken by a certain Vasco da Tavullia: "Nullo é reale, tutto é lecito."
