Of the Royal House of Lirlan, of the kingdom of Dellorne.

On Princess Ria's 17th birthday, her parents decided that it was high time she found a husband. During her sister Lara's unlikely courtship, Lara and her now husband Raoul had traveled to Numar to negotiate a change to a peace treaty with the Emperor, Faiz. The treaty stated that Lara had to marry a man form Numar, to ensure peace. However, once negotiated, Faiz agreed to let Lara marry Raoul, if there would be other marriages between the nations. Ria's older brother Alaric married Faiz's younger sister Alini. It was always thought that Ria might marry the Emperor, but she was not so happy with the idea.

---

Faiz came to visit Dellorne for the festivities surrounding Ria's birthday. At one of the grand balls, Ria caught sight of a very handsome young man. When he asked her to dance, he introduced himself as Emperor Faiz. Ria was shocked to learn that the man she had resisted meeting and marrying was so handsome, and so kind. Faiz stayed in Dellorne for another week, and by the time he had to leave, a betrothal was announced between him and Ria and the couple were very much in love.

---

At the wedding celebration, which was held in Dellorne, at Ria's request, Alaric and Alini announced that they were expecting another child. Everyone was joyous at this news as well. After the wedding, Ria, the new Empress of Numar, traveled with her new husband back to his Empire. There, there would be another ceremony, where she could be officially crowned.

---

Some weeks after the third royal wedding, Princess Marina made a confession to her parents--she was pregnant. During Ria's wedding, she had met with a young lord of Dellorne, Percival of Barria. He was a bit older than her, and handsome, though known in court to be reckless. Lord Percival was the father of this child. Adelia and Lucian were a bit overwhelmed by this, and hoping to stop a scandal, they ordered Marina and Percival to marry. Marina was not happy with this arrangement at all. Her night with Lord Percival was one she regretted, not only because of the baby, but because Percival was not as charming as he had seemed when she first met him. However, Marina knew that she had no choice but to marry, or else cause a scandal, so she and Percival wed in a small ceremony.

---

Months later, both Alini and Marina gave birth. Alini to a daughter. Her name was Aidalina, though they all called her Aida. Her middle names honored Alini's and Alaric's mothers respectively. Marina had a son named David. His middle names honored his father Percival and his father's home province of Barria. Lord Percival wanted his son to be named Percival Jr, however, Marina refused. Instead, she gave him a name meaning beloved, so that he would know she loved him. David's father insisted on giving his son the middle names.

---

Marina had hoped that she might grow to love Percival, but even after David was born, nothing of the sort happened. Percival was still a poor husband and wasn't suited to responsibility. He often went off riding or drinking with his friends, leaving his young wife and son behind at the castle. Marina, meanwhile, spent more time with her childhood friend, Duke Adam of Trent. She began to wish that she had lied to her parents and had called Adam the father of David. That way, she could have married Adam who was responsible and kind, rather than Percival.

---

Just after David's birth, Sarissa, announced that she had become betrothed to Issac Luther, a common born man. This would have been another scandal, however, Issac was, at 21, the youngest Commodore that the Navy of Dellorne had ever seen. This honor, and the promise that one day Issac might become an Admiral, made the match a respectable, if not good, one. In Dellorne, which relies so much on the seas for trade, a man serving in the Navy is very well respected.
