HelpAnother Kingdom Congrats Round 3
Three years have passed, and somehow things are not as good as they have been. There has been some dissent among the council, a great deal of bickering over new laws, especially regarding the privilege of the new nobility. When Krianna formed, Queen Minerva granted titles to her most loyal and deserving generals, allies, and helpers, many of whom were born common. Some had even been born low. Now, after six years, the old nobility is beginning to grumble at their places being taken. They retained their lands and titles, but are beginning to voice their resentment of these "appointees" as they are called. This has turned into quite a debate over the kingdom, and one the queen knows she will have to deal with soon. But at the moment, her time is taken up by other things; namely another pregnancy and the invitation for the entire royal family, including the young princesses, to attend the wedding of the King of Lethia's eldest daughter, Crown Princess Jocelyn. This is a very important inviation, as it shows that Kriana is now considered important enough that their presence is reqeuested at such an important event. Princess Jocelyn will inherit her father's throne, so it is important that the young queen and her family ingratiate themselves with her. Queen Minerva is carefully selecting her retinue to show Kriana to the best advantage.
What does your family think of the problem of the appointees? What about the invitation to the royal wedding? Is your family part of the retinue? How is your family getting along in the new kingdom?

Several years have passed since the birth of Leda, and Athena's education has begun in earnest. She joins the small training sessions her mother holds for young magicals and had begun to see tutors for a few hours a day. Bright and inquisitive, Athena does well in her studies and in her training and Hermione is fiercely proud of her firstborn. William is also thrilled to have to beautiful and healthy daughters, but has begun to feel the presence of so many women in his personal quarters! He was very excited when Hermione discovered she was pregnant again, and hoped for a son. When his third daughter was born, looking very much like her mother, William could not help but be a little disappointed. He loves his wife and his daughters very much, but wishes for a little boy to teach to ride and hunt and fight. He and Hermione are still quite young, however, and he is kept busy by his three small children and the preparations for the wedding.

The Lockwood family is content; as Chief Healer of Kriana, Ambrose has been chosen to be part of the retinue attending the Lethian princess’s wedding. He is leaving his second-in-command – a half-elfin, half-human “appointee lord” by the name of Count Theobald Quartz – in charge, and Flora and the children are coming along on the trip.
Basil has shown no aptitude for magic, but Petra has.

The appointees into nobility doesn't include the Willetts, but having an archmage-type mage in the family is an even greater honor as Lili's magic continues to develop. Next year, Lili can start to be trained on a part-time basis. Ridley is somewhat afraid of Lili's magic for some reason. The royal wedding is a minor factor in the life.

Status: Low commoner (werewolf / mage)
With a royal wedding coming up (although not from Kriana itself), most of the nation is buzzing up with excitement, especially with the appointees who are also gaining the eye of the populace. For the Margo family, though, not many things have changed. With the arrival of another son, Taddeo, their family have grown closer and yet more difficult to maintain. Even at an early age, Dora and Silvio have understood that things will not be easy for them (especially Dora, who found dealing with a hyperactive, mischievous wolf cub to be less than easy).
When things got a bit tough for the family, Romolo decided he had had enough and traveled to the Krianian palace, where he heard the Queen is still receiving visitors. While Romolo didn't manage to meet the Queen, who was busy at the time, he did got redirected to the Queen's sister, Arianna. Gathering all his guts and wits about him, Romolo presented the predicament he and the rest of the werewolves are facing - the discrimination, the relegation to the lowest of castes, everything. While it did end up a bit more blunt and inelegant than he intended it to be, Princess Arianna said that she would relay the message to her sister. Romolo was grateful, but he waited with bated breath what would happen next.

Ari has mainly been involved in foreign affairs since her sister became queen and she gave up the spy game. Nicholas, declining to be separated from his beloved Ari, joined her on nearly all her diplomatic missions. Ione and Marius did as well, and both loved traveling. Ione is beginning to show magical ability, and Ari and Nicholas decided to start her tutoring with her cousin Athena. Ione is a very affectionate and active child, and as such has become a favorite among her cousins. She looks a great deal like her mother, with the same dark hair and wide violet eyes, but she has her father's nose and crooked smile. Maruis in turn looks quite like his father, but he has his mother's mouth and dimples. He is also a very active and cheerful little boy, always tagging after his beloved older sister.
Ari and Nicholas were called off of theri foreign affairs dutues, hoever, to deal with the more pressing problem of the appointees.

Status: Royal Family (Brother and Sister-in-Law to the Queen)
The past three years have been generally good for Alexandra and Demetrius. Alexandra's frequent parties have tentatively come to a halt, as Antonius will barely ever leave her side. She spends a great deal of each day with her son, his energetic nature often leaving her extremely tired by the end of the day. Like Alexandra, Antonius is very picky about his belongings and has a short temper, although he's not as aggressive when expressing his anger as Alexandra is. Antonius misses his father, who is often gone on foreign trips and who he only sees for a few weeks at a time. Nerissa feels her father's long absenses the hardest, as she's grown very close to him. Alexandra has explained to her children that their father's helping the country very much, but Nerissa still doesn't fully understand why he has to be gone so much. Even though she is very laid back, Nerissa is also very motivated. She enjoys studying, especially mathematics.
