Court Jester: Renato Konstantin "The Amazing Ren" Macario (29)
Cook: Verena Amika "Amy" Macario (23)
-S: Neven Dragomir Macario (3)
-S: Aksel Konrad Macario (2)
-S: Enric Ferran Macario (d. at 1 yr)The outbreak of war was understandably stressful for the Macarios. Tensions ran high in the court; Ren had to work twice as hard to get half the laughs while Amy remained hyper vigilant in the kitchen. Delilah of Solvene often helped out. Amy had been wary of the girl's intentions at first but grew to like the young flirt. She was witty and kind and quite good with the children (Neven was a bit infatuated, actually). However, Amy found Delilah's talk of travel and adventure rather frightening; Amy had always been far too afraid to leave her homeland and had never even been more than a few counties from the castle. Tragedy struck the family when their youngest son Enric, up until then a happy, healthy boy like his brothers, grew very sick. After months of uncertainty, Enric finally died just after his first birthday, which also happened to be when the king had the Duke and Duchess of Solvene arrested for treason. Ren and Amy were far too distraught to care about politics, but both were touched when Queen Morgana reached out to offer the condolences of the royal family. When asked if there was anything that the queen could do for the Macarios, Amy only requested mercy on behalf of Delilah and her brothers and sisters. Children shouldn't be punished for the sins of their parents, she declared. The queen promised to speak to her husband on the subject but couldn't make any promises: King Henry was still looking for vengeance in the death of their own son. Amy begged Ren to talk to his friends in the carnivals just in case Delilah and the others needed to be smuggled out of the country to avoid retribution. Growing restless himself, Ren almost couldn't resist when those same friends tried to get him to return to the road. He knew that Amy would never leave Angleterra, but he also didn't know if he would be able to live there any longer, not with the memories of his lost little Enric so sharp and fresh. He thought that Neven and Aksel would enjoy travelling (Amy might, too, if she ever gave it a chance).Ren and Amy went about their duties with heavy hearts, doing their best to comfort their heartbroken sons and ignore the rift forming in their marriage.
