King: Edmund Isidore Jacques Valentine (23)
Queen: Wilhelmina Theodora Severina Blanche (17)
From the Royal House of Northcliff
In the Kingdom of Yarrow
Edmund Grenville lived a carefree life in one of his father's estates, Palehaven Hall, far from the court life and the high society life in the city, when the shocking news reached him. Two week earlier hundreds of people had gathered in the castle for a huge banquet held every year, many of them were potential successors to the throne. Edmund had been invited but had to decline due to the harsh winter that made it impossible for him to get to the castle. Little did the people who attended the banquet know that one of the king's closest friends had planned a coup, a coup that was launched in the middle of the feast. Suddenly his group of armed men stormed the castle and the doors to the banquet hall were locked and every singel person was executed. The Bloodbath of Yarrow was a fact. However, the coup failed, three days later the king's army overpowered the group of rebels and because so many of the potential succesors were killed, Edmund unexpectedly found himself to be the heir to the throne of the kingdom.
The country was in shock and so was King Edmund. This was not what he wanted with his life. Being a king and all the power, rights and obligations that came with it was frightening and he was not prepared for the role. He's newly appointed advisor suggested that he'd marry a woman used to the court life, a woman that could support and guide him. The advisor also thought a royal wedding would be good for the kingdom. Instead of talking about the Bloodbath of Yarrow people would talk about the wedding. A handful of potential spouses were introduced to the king. King Edmund instantly knew that the young Wilhelmina, duchess of a small Franco-German kingdom, was the right one. Unlike the other girls she seemed self-confident, sophisticated and well-mannered in a way expected by a future queen. She was someone king Edmund believed could be supportive but also honest. Together they could build a new stable kingdom. Two months later they were wed.
