HelpRe: Aeronwy's Medieval/Royal Cogratulations ~ Round The First

Court Jester: Renato Konstantin "The Amazing Ren" Macario (26)
Cook: Verena Amika "Amy" Macario (20)
-S: Neven Dragomir Macario (0)
Amy became pregnant very shortly after marrying Ren, and their beautiful little son Neven was already several months old by the time the new king was coronated. Both Amy and Ren were very busy during the banquet, she with cooking the feast and he with entertaining the courtiers. The queen's dresser Jocelyn was good enough to look after Neven for the evening; she and Amy had become friends during their coinciding pregnancies and hoped that their kids would be as well.
As one might expect of a jester, Ren was fond of children and especially enjoyed having so many of them around to amaze with his juggling and tumbling and silly jokes. He did his best to cheer up the offspring of Baron Hiram, as they had just lost their youngest sister and still appeared rather heartbroken. Roland and Duke Elijah's twins Ariel and Peninnah seemed most thrilled by the antics, the rambunctious threesome becoming quite inseparable.
The twins' parents, however, were another story. Duke Elijah and Duchess Adina barely even smirked the whole evening, not even when Ren recited his bawdy poetry (no one resisted his bawdy poetry!). The two whispered and glared at King Henry most of the night. One of Amy's kitchen girls later reported that she'd heard snippets of suspicious murmurs passing between them. Amy warned Jocelyn to warn her husband to keep a close eye out for threats to the king.
She was right to worry: in the weeks and months to follow, Amy frequently came across dishes and goblets that were destined for the royal family but seemed... off. She always discarded anything that seemed suspicious, becoming slightly paranoid and doing her best not to let the royal food out of her sight. She was sure that someone in her kitchen was tampering with the meals but couldn't manage to pinpoint the culprit. She'd worked for the royal family for her entire life and couldn't imagine why anyone would try to harm them.
