LaRe's KUY Royal Congrats: Round 7
Welcome to round seven!This round, the third child gets a significant other, gender of your choice, and the eldest daughter has a son.Optionally, the Dowager Consort may also remarry; as usual, their spouse's gender is at your discretion.(NOTE: I noticed some players already gave their third son, the Prince, a SO last round. If such is the case, simply switch the orders around and replace said Prince with the illegitimate son for this round.)The Prompt
A few years later, after the eldest daughter's marriage, it is her younger brother's turn to find a suitable match. Various prospective suitors, both local and foreign, noble and commoner, are rumoured to be the likely candidates. Fortuitously, the chosen spouse-to-be is popular with the people, and the match gains public approval. However, the eldest daughter did not hear the announcement for one simple reason: she was starting to enter labour! When her son is born, the first of a new generation in the royal family, the news was met with general rejoicing, marking the day as an especially jubilant one. Who is the son's betrothed? How did the daughter pregnancy and birth go? The children are not the only ones granted the joy of a happy union. Over the years, the Dowager Consort had slowly worked through her grief and loss at the late Monarch's death. And now, many years later, she finds herself falling in love with someone again. Who is this person? Is it truly a second love, or had their love blossomed earlier than publically known? And should they marry, what will be the status of the Dowager's new spouse?Namebanks (Spelling changes are allowed.)

In the Kingdom of: TavaraenWhen the city of Keenor was destroyed not all of its residents were killed. The messengers who went to warn the rest of the Southlands survived the initial attack, although a few of them died later in the war. There were the few soldiers who were neither killed nor taken prisoner. And a small but not insignificant number of civilians made it out of the city, including the young noblewoman Sorna Greenbriar. The highest ranking person to escape Keenor, Sorna became a closely guarded secret in Duru, the city the she and most of the other survivors moved to, and a symbol of hope elsewhere. She and Efren are hoping to someday be able to rebuild Keenor.Enola's first pregnancy and birth went much smoother than her mother's, with no complications at all. Her son Vieri has replaced Efren as her heir.

In the Kingdom of: Sidonie---Two years ago... Magnus Marek Idris Toril, son of Breccan and Kalila, Monarch of the kingdom of Sidonie, was taking his morning walk one day through the gardens. The sun was high and warm, beating happily down upon the beautiful kingdom under his reign. The birds chirped and cheered, encouraging everyone who passed by. Everything about this day simply brought a smile to Max's face. As he wandered through the gardens, heading into the orchards, he heard a sound: a musical ringing sound as that of laughter. Curiosity piqued, he followed the sound to an apple tree. Looking up into its branches, he spied one of the maid girls: pretty, brown-skinned, hair tied back out of her face, wisps falling down around her ears, blue eyes smiling, matching the color of the sky above. She was foreign, he could tell with one look, and certainly dirty from her work, but gorgeous all the same. "Hello!" he called up into the branches. "May I inquire as to what you find so funny?" His voice caught her off guard and she startled, toppling from the branches, catching herself. Proceeding to swing down to the ground, she fell in front of him. She picked herself up, dusting off her garments, snatching her book off the ground, and bowing respectfully before him. "Your majesty, I had no idea that you were coming down this way. I promise I will get back to work immediately. I had merely finished my morning chores and had come here to read for a short while before returning. I suppose the time flew by faster than I had realized. Forgive me."

in the Kingdom of EgremontBeing just 10 months younger than his sister, a year after Eira's nuptials Tristan found himself bombarded from all sides with questions about when he would find himself a queen. "In due time," he would always reply, knowing it would not be seemly for him to admit he was not ready to be wed at just 17 years old.Fate, it would seem, felt otherwise. It had fallen to Tristan to appoint a new emissary to the Kingdom of Varoe across the sea, and for the position he chose the distinguished statesman Lord Labhrás of House Carran. Labhrás' daughter Étaín accompanied him to the ceremony at the royal keep, and as soon as Tristan laid eyes on her, he knew he would have her to wife. He proposed the marriage right then and there, to the astonishment of Lord Carran and the rest of the court assembled for the occasion. Of course, the nobleman was not going to deny his king, and so Tristan and Étaín were wed within the fortnight, before Labhrás sailed for Varoe.The joyous affair was made all the happier when, only hours after the wedding bells sounded, Eira was delivered of a healthy son, Ignatius. Her husband Titus had wanted to name the child after the old King Cadfael, but Eira insisted that the boy be his own person. "My father has had his time," she told Titus, "let our son now have his."

Growing up around the royal family has provided Edmund with great opportunity, and Alaia is a very good match for his station. Meanwhile, Theodora and Leander welcome a royal son, now next in the line for the kingdom. The people - and the council - are pleased to have the line so continued. The council is also pleased to not have to squabble over succession again with a male heir, though with the precedent set it's unlikely they'd get their way anyway. Beatrice was worried her eldest daughter might have troubles as she did with her first birth, but mother and child are doing well.

In the Kingdom of: StranzburgThere was shock in the kingdom when Emperor Johann abdicated to be with his beloved Cristobal! With the scandal of his origin and this scandalous relationship, the royal family has now officially cut ties with Johann, who lives happily with his now husband Cristobal in Bermuda, where they run one outfit of Cristobal's family's shipping company, spend time on their yacht, and generally enjoy life. He feels no loss for leaving the royal life! The royal family does not know that Louise and Sebastian are still in close contact with Johann.Wilhelm, Emperor Philip's second son, is now Emperor. While he felt he was too young to be married (at only 22!), his mother and all the royal advisors urged him to find a wife to keep the family from further scandal. After looking at the prospects, he grudgingly proposed to Princess Kalliope of the royal house of Androkles of Kleitos. Wilhelm seemed to be the only one who was not overjoyed by the match.Meanwhile, Duke Sebastian and Duchess Louise have welcomed a little Duke of their own! They are overjoyed at the arrival of their heir.

In the Kingdom of: SwedenA few years passed after the famous wedding year in Sweden before another wedding come into sight. This time Prince Magnus got engaged to famous Italian born opera singer Loredana Mazzo. During the past years Magnus was linked with many women, but not many knew that the young couple has been secretly in love and together for several years. The engagement was received with great joy as Loredana was immensely popular in the country, there was however one person that missed the celebrations, the Queen herself. She's been in labor the whole day and gave birth to her first child just two hours after the engagement was announced. Crown Prince Carl Ludvig of Sweden was born in the Royal Palace all healthy and resembled his late grandmother according to those who saw him. The celebrations that day were endless.After Lovisa's death Peter thought he won't be ever able to love again, but as people say, time heals, and this was true also in his case. Not long after the engagement of his son and birth of his grandson, he married Anna von Arbin, daughter of the head of royal court. Although no one requested it, he decided to give up his title and let the young generation reign the country. He moved to the country side with his new wife in hope to get a break from the hustle and bustle of city.

AnswerYes, I meant the "illegitimate son", which in your case is the nephew; sorry for not being very clear on that. This is where the KUY format makes things a bit tricky.

In the City-State of: Salvi
A couple years later, it was Leonardo's turn to enter the betrothal period, a fact he was especially anxious about. He knew that this moment would come sooner than later, and that he was expected to marry and produce heirs to the Manco family name, but it was still a rather daunting idea for the sixteen-year-old! Vanozza comforted him with the fact that, unlike her, he would not have to really marry his wife until several more years to come. Indeed, Vanozza and Valentino had celebrated their wedding a year prior--the bride at seventeen and her husband ten years her senior.Potential spouses began to swarm in and out of Palazzo Manco's gates once again. Daughter after daughter paraded before Leonardo's eyes, their hopeful parents ready in case their child should catch the Manco heir's eye.But in a twist of irony, the girl who finally caught Leonardo's rapt attention was none other than the one who had come to Salvi for other reasons. Perotto and Felipe, returning from a stint in Spain, had brought with them a few members of Felipe's foster family, including the youngest of his foster sisters, Ivette de la Rosa. And it was Ivette, with her quiet shyness and surprisingly ladylike maturity, that stole her way into Leonardo's heart. The two continued to exchange letters after the de la Rosas continue on their journey, and in a matter of months, a match was arranged, and the union announced.There was one person who missed the announcement, however; Vanozza, heavily pregnant by the time Leonardo and Ivette's betrothal was made official, gave birth to her first child in her bedchamber when the announcement was made.
