Court Jester: Renato Konstantin "The Amazing Ren" Macario (27)
Cook: Verena Amika "Amy" Macario (21)
-S: Neven Dragomir Macario (1)
-S: Aksel Konrad Macario (0)
(I somehow managed to miss the part where my couple ended up jailed for suspected treason during last round, so I'll just add it in here.)
The Macario's incarceration was brief, comfortable, and relatively untraumatic. Barely a week passed before Ren and Amy were set free with the court's apologies. Ren took the experience in stride; it was hardly the first time he'd been locked up (his slights of hand were so impressive that they'd been mistaken for witchcraft on several occasions during the travels of his youth, and he also had an unfortunate tendency to poke fun at people who possessed a lot of power but no sense of humor). Amy hated being away from Neven and felt hurt and betrayed that the king had suspected her at all. But she did her best to forgive him. Holding grudges had turned her grandmother into a bitter person, and Amy didn't want that for herself. Besides, King Henry meant well.
Life continued on in the kingdom. Amy breathed a lot easier once Lord Bartholomew hired food tasters for the royal family. Ren tried to teach his son how to juggle. Neven was more interested in chewing the balls, though he did enjoy having his daddy make silly faces at him. The boy was easily one of the biggest of his age in the kingdom, and Sir Spencer had remarked that the lad might make a fine knight someday.
Amy and Jocelyn both found themselves pregnant at the same time again, but while Amy gave birth to another large, hearty boy, Jocelyn's own son was small and sickly and died after three months. Jocelyn was devastated and seemed resentful of Amy's healthy children. Amy gave her friend some space to grieve and hoped that they could move past the loss.
The newest prince also wasn't long for the world, expiring after just six short days. There were rumors that the infant had been assassinated with poisoned milk, but the suspicions were never confirmed. Ren wasn't called on for quite some time, no one much feeling like laughter. He was troubled by being surrounded by so much sadness as more families lost children but loved having the free hours to spend with both his beautiful sons. Though Neven seemed wary of his brother at first, he grew to love Aksel and would hardly let the baby out of his sight. Neither Ren nor Amy had any siblings, but both had always wanted some and were in agreement about wanting a big family.
