King Walter and Queen Hedy welcomed Princess Hannelore to the Kaarmann family. Prince Maxi does not care for the tiny little princess as she spends the most time with his mother. August is intrigued with the little girl, and likes to make her laugh. However August is most in love with his father. The little shadow still can be seen following his father around the palace.Shortly after Max was born Walter was surprised when a guard announced the arrival of Eleonore late one night. He knew better then to realize she came on a friendly visit. He ran to the suite he was told she was staying in. When he got to her, two little girls were tucked into bed and she sat there shaken and scared. Eleonore revealed to Walter how abusive Heinrich had been since the birth of Amelie. Walter pulled Eleonore close and tried his best to comfort her. He hated to see her cry and even more he hated the devil of a man who did not understand the beauty of his wife and in return for two children treated her like a common dog. The tension between Eleonore and Walter built until it was unbearable and result in the two finally becoming lovers. Walter was in bliss for the two months that he had Eleonore to himself. After the first night he spent with Eleonore he sent his guards out to the bar where Eleonore said that Heinrich frequented. Walter instructed them to beat him but in an inconspicuous manner. Walter assumed that Heinrich would be too shameful to show up at the palace to collect his wife and children in such a manner. However the months it took for him to recover came and went to fast. Walter was elated as was everyone in the palace. Hedwig loved having her sister around to keep her company during the days, as Walter loved having her company at night. August and Max enjoyed playing with Valeria and Amelie.
During the two months Magdalena frequently visited and on her discovery of Walter and Eleonore’s relations she scolded the King. Walter was completely enraged at his sister’s hypocrisy. When Magdalena begged and begged to let her marry a man she loved that he still has another dutiful sister and dutiful brother that she would not be of much value, he out of love allowed his sister to marry a commoner. For her sake she got to be in a loving marriage. He reminded her that men are allowed to take a mistress and it is not of her concern what his relations are. This is a man’s world and he will not take her interfering in his affairs of any kind. When Magdalena came visiting on her last visit she refused her daughters title a gift of the his to her family and spat in his face that Eleonore had given birth to his child. Walter was unaware of Eleonore’s birth or the fact that the child she bore was his. A week later he received a letter from Eleonore saying the same and that everything was ok because Heinrich believed Friedrich to be his. He was moved by her love and devotion to him. She carried his child in secret and named the boy after Walter. He could not have Eleonore, Friedrich, or the girls so far away. He was going to have to find a way to keep the family close and Heinrich far away. He was going to have to invite Heinrich to be part of his court. That way he could send Heinrich on duties, and educate Eleonore’s children with the royal tutors. Friedrich would inherit Heinrich duchy of Bergfalk and did not need Bruk.
Walter felt guilty that “mäuslein” could think that he did not love or care for Hedwig and his children. He gave the Duchy of Bruk back Katarina, and he gave the Duchy of Holik to Hedwig so that should anything happen she would have her own place. Walter realized he was not aware of Hedwig’s real feelings and whether or not she truly loved him. Walter very much loved her, not in the way that he loved Eleonore but he loved her like he love Magdalena and Adelheid. He loved their children in indescribable ways spoiled were the royal three. He even made a parade for Princess Hannelore. He was starting to feel betrayed by his family for not understanding him. He grew distant from Joseph and Magdalena.
He decided that it was time to visit Adelheid and he would take Hedwig. He knew Hedwig would enjoy the frivolity of French court and Walter wanted to spend time seeing what Adelheid was up to and apologize for her marriage. He gathered together special trinkets while he was there for Eleonore and Friedrich.Shortly after Heinrich collected Eleonore an avalanche occurred near the boundaries of Bial and Switzerland. Avalanches were common in the area around this time of year and the extent of this avalanche was not particularly severe. Walter hosted a celebration with close friends and family, because of how joyous his life was at the time and many of the Bialans took offense during the time of need. Walter’s plan for those affected by the avalanche was to send in supplies such as food and aid. There was not much anyone could do in the snow but he hoped to help rebuild the town in the spring. Many were off put by his plan but there was not much to be done in the mean time.
