King Cadfael Aneurin Llyr Geraint
Queen Consort Naiara Josune Maialen
of the illustrious Royal House of Argall-Jasso
in the Kingdom of Egremont
When the thousand-year reign of House Jasso disintegrated at the hands of Lords Argall and Vilaro, the people of Egremont expected the victors' children to marry and lay the foundation for a new dynasty. Indeed, old Alwyn Argall, having lost his three eldest sons in battle, quickly announced the betrothal of his sole surviving heir Cadfael to Remei, the only child of his ally Guillem Vilaro.
Unbeknownst to Alwyn, however, Cadfael had long pined for Naiara, the beautiful daughter of the deposed Jasso monarch Nikola. The two had met during a brief cessation of hostilities, when they had each been sent in opposing delegations to broker for peace. The truce had lasted just long enough for them to begin an illicit affair, though they knew the end of the war would likely spell an end to one or both of them as well.
But a childhood spent on the battlefields rather than in the royal courts had taught young Cadfael to be bold but not necessarily diplomatic. And so, after his father's death from old age and his own subsequent coronation, the newly crowned King Cadfael reneged on his engagement to Remei and proclaimed that Naiara would become his queen. Further, he not only stayed the execution of Nikola, but he also made his future father-in-law the Commander of the Egremontian army. Lord Guillem was outraged at the betrayal, but with the military might of Houses Argall and Jasso now aligned against him, could do nothing except bow his knee to Cadfael and pledge fealty to him.
