Magdalena has been actively involved in the French problem. She has been mainly going to
France, keeping
Louis at bay with his demands for immediate help. She is glad her brother is officially neutral. She knows of his plan to assassinate
Louis if it comes to it, but it sickens her a little and she prefers not to think about it. She and
Joseph both feel it their duty to help in
Walter's plans, though they miss being in Bial.
Magdalena has it easier than
Joseph, however, as she can always keep her family with her.
Katarina especially enjoys being with Käthelëin and her other cousins from
Adelheid. She loves her other cousins, but she has a special bond with Käthelëin.
It was in
France that little
Sofia was born, the only one of her and
Taddeo's children to be born away from Bial. Her consant strain and work made the birth difficult on
Magdalena, and she became very weak after the birth.
Taddeo has been very helpful in the entire campaign, but after
Sofia's birth he took over many of her duties and proved himself quite able. Sometimes people forget that he was groomed for politics from his childhood, being the son of a duke, and he is actually quite adept.
Katarina was a great help with the children when her mother became sick, making
Magdalena and
Taddeo very proud. She is a capable and intelligent girl, and both are glad that their sons and daugters have someone to look up to in their older sister. She has become quite a beautiful young girl, but
Juliana, even at ten, somehow surpasses her. The two look alike, but there is something about
Juliana that somehow sets her apart.
Magdalena and
Taddeo have been annoyed at times that no one notices their own daughter's beauty as they do
Walter's child's.
Juliana loves books and is a great reader, but she never misses a game outside with her cousins or siblings.
Edmund is the one who often institutes these games; he has a genius for fun,
Taddeo says, that rather impresses them. He gets along with everyone, and
Magdalena sees a future as a diplomat for him.
Margarete never seems to tire, and though only five is often included in the games of the older ones because she is never afraid to do even the most daring of stunts.
Ludwig is her opposite and prefers to stay at his mother's skirts, watching. He was quite jealous of baby
Sofia, though he quickly grew to love her.
Sofia is a very good baby, and
Magdalena swears she already smiles.
