Would a new Queen serve in the plot as well? I plan to remarry him asap. I could even add that to the story already if you need a Queen by next round. If it's really necessary I can change my current story as well. Just let me know!
On the second point: That's okay, I'll come up with something to write about :)
I just really felt like the tragedy in the Kingdom should have a major impact on the royal family as well.
