Of the illustrious Royal House of: Manco
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. The boy, born to the sounds of jubilation and applause from outside, was healthy, if small, and emerged with a head of his father's messy curls. A messenger was searched for and sent, and suddenly the engagement's announcement was closed with another announcement: that of the birth of the firstborn of the next generation of the Manco family legacy.
Mutatis mutandis. Si non confectus, non reficiat.
