Prussia was shocked by the death of Lennert (although little Ferdinand luckily made a full recovery). On taking the throne, Albrecht has already proved a clumsy leader, and is much less popular than his father. The Dowager Princess, Agnesia, has gathered her younger children to her and retreated to a summer home away from the family's main residence, whilst Konrad has enlisted in the military and Cornelius is staying with his Diethelm and Benetta in a palace near to that where Albrecht now resides - each of the family is dealing with their grief in their own way. In much happier news, Sophia and Abílio have been married, though the former was distraught not to have said goodbye to her beloved father. She has taken on her new Portugese name and title - she is Sofia "Sonia" Leonor Daniela, Infanta de Portugal - and hopes to visit her family in Prussia as regularly as her duties will permit, but, from now on, must renounce her place in the royal family of Prussia in favour of her new nationality.

The family was hit with a shock again this year when Albrecht was deposed and executed after an incredibly clumsy response to famine. Agnesia is distraught, and has taken the traumatised Minna and her son into her country residence to abide with her. A terrified Diethelm has been crowned König on the advice of trusted minister Gunthar. He is more popular than his brother due to his humble nature, but still not well liked, and Diethelm wonders if, given his questionable ancestry, he should even inherit this title. He shares these fears with the newly named Benedikta on their wedding night, but she accepts him as he is. The two are close, and deeply in love. She is already expecting their first child.

[18] Konrad Matthias Benedikt, Prinz von Preußen (wavy red hair, blue eyes)
When Agnesia's summer palace fell into disrepair, she was dismayed to learn it would cost the entirety of the family's gold reserves to mend it. Unwilling to bankrupt her beloved Diethelm, who she knew would insist on covering the cost, she sent a letter to the newly crowned Reinha Sofia de Portugal, who of course invited her to live with herself and her husband in the Portugese Grand Palace. Minna and little Ferdinand of course went with her, as did Agnesia's three younger children, Detlef, Sylvia and Rudolf. Sofia has assured her much-missed younger siblings that she will find them all good matches in the Portugese nobility and they will live a good life. Diethelm was dismayed to learn that his dear mother had left the country, but happy that she was reunited with Sofia. He of course bid her return briefly for the christening of his new son, Clemens! Though named after three of Diethelm's five brothers, Clemens will go by his third name, the only one unique to him. Cornelius continues to live in the palace, where he is good friends with both Diethelm and Benedikta, but is hoping to find a match soon. Konrad is less excited about the prospect, as he is very much enjoying his military commission.

Konrad left the military this year on Diethelm's command, as his elder brother the König felt he was becoming too distant from the family and wanted him to engage in more social occasions and perhaps find a bride, as Cornelius has been attempting to do. Konrad is bored at home in the palace and feels Diethelm is becoming more arrogant now that he is König. Benedikta and Cornelius tut and gossip, knowing that both the brothers are simply stressed, unhappy, and missing their parents and siblings departed, as well as dear Minna and Frederick.

Cornelius and Isabelle were married this year! The family is overjoyed, despite the shock of the event. Of course, the estranged family in Portugal were delighted to return and visit for the ceremony. Konrad, too, married this year, though this was planned by the ever-conniving Diethelm and Benedikta. She, too, was a Gräfin. Anne is a shy and uptight young woman; the family endearingly refer to her as "Annett Die Maus"! Even the reluctant Konrad is grudgingly fond of her, and has been pleased to learn that he will be able to return to military service once she has borne their first child. After the two marriages, Diethelm, Cornelius, Konrad and their wives (along with little Siegbert) partook in a triumphant tour of Prussia.

Diethelm has appointed several new noblemen to thank them for their loyalty - his popularity is still low, although Benedikta always tries to reassure him that she thinks the people are growing to like him. She's half-right - Prussia treats the gentle, considered König Diethelm with a grudging respect. Anne became pregnant this year but miscarried. Konrad was distraught and realized that he had in fact grown to live his wife when she accused him of only being disappointed due to not yet being able to return to the military. In a fit of unexpected emotion, he promised her he would not return until their child's second birthday, so that he could be there for it in its formative years. Hopefully, he joked, it would not grow up to be as mischievous as little Clemens!

Isabelle gave birth to a little girl this year. Annett is still barren, and has had to hide her jealousy, but indeed finds it hard to be bitter when she is busy cooing over the pretty new Prinzessin! Benedikta, too, has had no child, but she and Diethelm are unworried; Clemens is healthy, clever and strong, and will be a good König one day if all goes well. She is named Sophia for her dear aunt in Portugal, but, much like her cousin Clemens, will go by her middle name, Viktoria.

Diethelm has been working hard on the beginnings of industrialising Prussia, and his popularity has risen somewhat accordingly. This is a great relief to the long-suffering family, who feel they are just beginning to find stability again after the death of Lennert and the coup that killed Albrecht.

The family were surprised but delighted when the Königin gave birth to triplets this year! The little boys are identical in all respects, but although their sister shares their brown eyes, she has her father's black hair that has been hidden for years. Diethelm and Benedikta agree to let it grow naturally - Benedikta is fairly dark, and it is not inconceivable that she would bear a raven-haired little girl. Once again, their names have been given largely to honour family members, but each will go by their given first name, unlike older brother Clemens, who is already excited to enlist them for help in his mischief-making.

Diethelm's efforts to revive the economy have backfired - over-exporting has led to famine in the countryside. Benedikta, Isabelle and Annett's joint charity projects have managed to save the König from a coup, but many have died and there are fears the country will not soon recover.

Clemens is at last engaged! On behalf of the infant king, French royal advisors have offered the hand of his cousin, Princesse Béatrice Athénaïs. Of course, Diethelm and Benedikta consulted with their son, who protested at first, but then agreed to a future marriage to the reportedly hot-tempered twelve-year-old Princesse Béatrice on learning that she had sold her own paintings to a national gallery under a pseudonym despite being expressly forbidden from doing so by the royal advisors.

Benedikta and Cornelius tut and gossip, knowing that both the brothers are simply stressed, unhappy, and missing their parents and siblings departed, as well as dear Minna and Frederick.

Cornelius and Isabelle were married this year! The family is overjoyed, despite the shock of the event. Of course, the estranged family in Portugal were delighted to return and visit for the ceremony. Konrad, too, married this year, though this was planned by the ever-conniving Diethelm and Benedikta. She, too, was a Gräfin. Anne is a shy and uptight young woman; the family endearingly refer to her as "Annett Die Maus"! Even the reluctant Konrad is grudgingly fond of her, and has been pleased to learn that he will be able to return to military service once she has borne their first child. After the two marriages, Diethelm, Cornelius, Konrad and their wives (along with little Siegbert) partook in a triumphant tour of Prussia.

After the death of the French King Édouard, Konrad urged his elder brother to invade the country, ruled now in theory by Édouard's infant son. However, Diethelm, of a gentler disposition, decided against the risky proposal.

Diethelm has appointed several new noblemen to thank them for their loyalty - his popularity is still low, although Benedikta always tries to reassure him that she thinks the people are growing to like him. She's half-right - Prussia treats the gentle, considered König Diethelm with a grudging respect. Anne became pregnant this year but miscarried. Konrad was distraught and realized that he had in fact grown to live his wife when she accused him of only being disappointed due to not yet being able to return to the military. In a fit of unexpected emotion, he promised her he would not return until their child's second birthday, so that he could be there for it in its formative years. Hopefully, he joked, it would not grow up to be as mischievous as little Clemens!

Isabelle gave birth to a little girl this year. Annett is still barren, and has had to hide her jealousy, but indeed finds it hard to be bitter when she is busy cooing over the pretty new Prinzessin! Benedikta, too, has had no child, but she and Diethelm are unworried; Clemens is healthy, clever and strong, and will be a good König one day if all goes well. She is named Sophia for her dear aunt in Portugal, but, much like her cousin Clemens, will go by her middle name, Viktoria.

Diethelm has been working hard on the beginnings of industrialising Prussia, and his popularity has risen somewhat accordingly. This is a great relief to the long-suffering family, who feel they are just beginning to find stability again after the death of Lennert and the coup that killed Albrecht.

The family were surprised but delighted when the Königin gave birth to triplets this year! The little boys are identical in all respects, but although their sister shares their brown eyes, she has her father's black hair that has been hidden for years. Diethelm and Benedikta agree to let it grow naturally - Benedikta is fairly dark, and it is not inconceivable that she would bear a raven-haired little girl. Once again, their names have been given largely to honour family members, but each will go by their given first name, unlike older brother Clemens, who is already excited to enlist them for help in his mischief-making.

Diethelm's efforts to revive the economy have backfired - over-exporting has led to famine in the countryside. Benedikta, Isabelle and Annett's joint charity projects have managed to save the König from a coup, but many have died and there are fears the country will not soon recover.

Clemens is at last engaged! On behalf of the infant king, French royal advisors have offered the hand of his cousin, Princesse Béatrice Athénaïs. Of course, Diethelm and Benedikta consulted with their son, who protested at first, but then agreed to a future marriage to the reportedly hot-tempered twelve-year-old Princesse Béatrice on learning that she had sold her own paintings to a national gallery under a pseudonym despite being expressly forbidden from doing so by the royal advisors.

Sophia is more protective than ever over sweet little Verena.
