Of the illustrious Royal House of: Manco

Many years later, Caterina Manco died and was buried in the Manco family crypt, next to her late husband. While she had never enjoyed particularly robust health, she had lived her life fully, from her early years as a commoner, her marriage to Michele, her years as widow and regent, and finally her retirement after her son becomes Prince. The funeral held in her honour was simple and quiet, as she would have wanted it to be, and yet nearly the entire city seemed to be in attendance.
Neither Perotto nor Felipe ever married women, marriage not being as required of them than their companions, as befitting their station as illegitimate sons and spies at that. While they never made their relationship public, it was no longer secret within the Manco household itself. The family which had so readily welcomed Perotto when he was first brought into their fold now extends the same warmth towards Felipe. The two men still continue to do espionage and subtle work for Salvi, although with the reigning peace under Leonardo's time, they are rarely required to personally go hands-on, instead relying on their larger network of eyes and ears to feed them information.
After giving birth to two healthy boys, Vanozza miscarried another child late into the pregnancy, and nearly died as a result. The physicians all strongly advised her to not have any more children, and she complied, citing Romolo and Niccolò to be more than enough joy for her. In time, Niccolò trained under his father as a mercenary, to perhaps someday become the Manco family's chief condottiero, as Vico Manco and Leonardo Scierra once were, and as Valentino now is. Meanwhile, Romolo pursued study of the other side of war under Perotto and Felipe, and fell in love with a blacksmith's daughter! Only time will tell if the two lovebirds will ever reach the altar, but as it stands, her family turned out to be more apprehensive of the potential match than his.
Leonardo continued to rule Salvi with his solid sangfroid, narrowly evading getting involved into another war which had broken out between two of their neighbours. His reign is often lauded as one of the longest periods of peace and prosperity Salvi had enjoyed in the past centuries. As an oasis of calm in the current turmoil, the city attracted flocks of artists, sculptors, architects, and scholars, who fled the surrounding wars in hopes of finding work elsewhere, and Leonardo happily commissioned them to renovate and expand upon his city. He and Ivette welcomed another daughter, Beatrice, a few years before their eldest was arranged to marry the son of a Spanish noble. Ivette's family had long been allies with the house of Rabat, and Juan Rabat took an immediate shine to Agnella the moment they met. Agnella, too, was quite taken by her future husband, and the two were given ample time to acquaint themselves to each other before the wedding was expected to occur.
Of all the Manco children, Lucrezia was the most far-flung, having left to live with Raphaël at his estate in southern France not long after their marriage. The couple welcomed two children of their own, twins Antoine and Marianne, both of whom inherited Lucrezia's blonde hair to their father's pale blue eyes. A few years after their birth, Raphaël's youngest sister and her husband died of a plague, leaving their son Renard orphaned. After much discussion, Raphaël and Lucrezia decided to take the boy in and raise him as one of their own children.
Ferrante raised Simonetta alone for four years before he finally fell in love with another woman. Maria Ratti, niece to the same Arrigo Ratti who used to work for his father and uncle, was a gentle, patient woman, and won over Ferrante's heart almost instantly. They married a few months later, and the next year, Maria gave birth to a baby boy, Lorenzo. But alas, Ferrante was no luckier with his second love than with his first. Three years later, Maria died in childbirth while delivering a premature birth; half an hour later, the babe also died, being too weak to survive. Ferrante was devastated, and, convinced that he was cursed or otherwise brought ill luck on women, resolved not to remarry while he raises his children on his own. He frequently visits Lucrezia and Raphaël in their estate, but most of his time is divided between his own villa just noth of Salvi and the Palazzo Manco where his brothers reside.
Mutatis mutandis. Si non confectus, non reficiat.
