UN: lalalove
King: Antonio Giuseppe Domenico Leonardo, His Royal Highness King Antonio (22)
Queen Consort: Elisabetta Graziana Rosaria, Her Royal Highness Queen Elisabetta (18)
-DPrincess: Antonia Margherita Teresa Emiliana, Her Royal Highness Princess Antonia (nb)
Of the Royal House of Calabrese, of the Kingdom of Oroterra
Antonio has been struggling lately, torn between being the ruthless leader that he was raised to be and the compassionate one his wife brings out in him. Oroterra controls many industries in other nations, and frequently exploits smaller countries natural resources just because Oroterra is more powerful and previous Kings have felt that it is their right to do whatever they please as long as they have the upper hand. The natives of Oroterra have enjoyed this, as it results in lower taxes for them since the King usually takes more than his fair share of resources, and almost always takes more than he payed for. One small Kingdom got sick of this, and decided to call Antonio out on his actions. Antonio really didn't want to exploit the small country, but was advised by his council to intimidate the King of the smaller country into giving up and allowing Oroterra to continue as it always had. Antonio brought the issue up to Elisabetta who pointed out that through peaceful negotiations and trade, Oroterra can maintain good relations with this country and be fair at the same time. This wasn't what the citizens of Oroterra, or Antonio's council wanted to hear and the populace was angered that Antonio wasn't maintaining the merciless actions of his forefathers.
Meanwhile, the Royal physicians had confirmed that Elisabetta was expecting a baby, much to the King and Queen's delight. The pregnancy went smoothly and was just what was needed to restore Antonio's popularity with the people. The labor was an easy one, and Elisabetta and Antonio were elated with the birth of their daughter. They decided to name her Antonia after her father, Margherita after Antonio's mother, Teresa after Elisabetta's mother, and Emiliana after Antonio's sister. The populace was ecstatic at the birth of their new Princess. The only one who seemed anything other than pleased by Antonia's birth was Antonio's father. He had never approved of his son's decision to marry a common servant and the fact that she hadn't even delivered him a son just made him think less of Elisabetta. It didn't matter to him that that as long as she was willing and able, Antonia would be able to take over the throne, in his eyes Antonio and Elisabetta's lack of a son had resulted in their failure to provide an heir. Antonio and Elisabetta don't listen to a negative word his father says, they both love their little daughter and Oroterra loves its new Princess.
