Quick question: do we follow the same story as the regular congrats? And can I change the ages of the king and queen, as I don't like having much of an age difference between my couples. I'd just like to lower the age of the man to about 18. Here's my Sign-up:
Empress: Arianna Ginevra Theodora Evangeline (17)
Emperor-Consort: Thomas Garrett Sebastian Dante (18)
From the Royal House of Glorian
In the Empire of Lethia
Arianna never expected to rule. As the daughter of the Empress Theodora's younger brother, she was fifth in line for the throne, after her three cousins and father. But, as she lay dying of the illness that had ravaged her country estate and taken all three of her children, it was not her brother Henry the Empress summoned to her deathbed. It was Arianna, his daughter, seventeen and the favorite of her aunt, who she named as her successor. Arianna was quite surprised and more than a little afraid. She had studied diplomacy and statecraft a little, as she was expected to spend her life as a diplomat in the service of her cousin. But she was still very young, only one year of-age, and with all the responsibility suddenly thrust on her she felt very young and unprepared indeed. The first thing her advisors pressured her to do was select an Emperor-Consort. An unmarried ruler makes the people nervous, as it makes them wonder if they will produce an heir. Arianna had already been betrothed for a few months, to a young lord she met and fell in love with just before her seventeenth birthday. They were not to be married for another six months, but when Arianna was crowned their weddign was moved up. Thomas is now her Emperor-Consort, and the two are nervously beginning their regime. Empress Theodora was not a cruel or tyrannical ruler--she was rather like a strict old governess who stood for no nonesense--but the people are excited about their young new monarchs. Arianna and Thomas are popular because of their youth, beauty, and general air of being steady and sensible. Arianna may not be ready, but she is intelligent and is willing and able to work hard.
