Help[Games] Re: LaRe's KUY Royal Congrats: Round 6
in reply to a message by La Reina
Feorsteorra
[Empress: Demeter Azura Wei "Demi" (deceased)]
Princess Regent: Gemina Hermione Estel "Gem" (Simonides)
Son?/Royal Ward: Nikodemos Shang "Niko" (Karmen)
--Beloved: Sigrun Drusilla Juno "Rune" Aurelia
Crown Princess: Iris Thaleia Seren "Leia"
--Betrothed: Baldarich Jerome Sebastianus Hugo "Jer" Liang
Prince: Hektor Gregorios Bao "Tory"
Princesses: Hestia Eirene Liu "Rene" & Ariadne Rosalind Mei "Ari"
Of the illustrious Royal House of: Jiang
In the Empire of: Lai Shi
When the Crown Princess announced her engagement to the second son of the queen of an nearby land, the people rejoiced. While Lai Shi already enjoyed peaceful trade relations with the kingdom in question, a wedding should assure many years of peace. What's more, Leia and Jer seem to be truly in love and thoroughly happy together, much to everyone's delight.
But as plans for the great royal wedding brew, Niko has his own announcement - not that he quite intended it as such. Rene and Ari just happened to stumble across him in an amorous embrace with someone, well, controversial. The young woman known familiarly as Rune was one of the invading army that attacked Lai Shi, even participating in the very battle wherein the late Empress Demeter fell. She was the last of the invaders left fighting after the others had surrendered or fallen, never truly surrendering as she was knocked unconscious. While she has over the years earned many privileges for continued good behavior, she is still technically a prisoner of war. And while she is only four years older than Niko himself, many in Lai Shi still cling to the silly notion that a man should always be older than his wife. To make matters even "worse," she is nothing but a commoner who rose through the ranks of her kingdom's army by her own merit; a match between Niko and Rune, though apparently inevitable, will bring no political benefit to Lai Shi whatsoever.
But of course, the Princess Regent is well aware that the late Empress herself went ahead with a love match in the face of anyone and everyone's disapproval, so while she is still somewhat cautious of Rune's loyalty and trustworthiness, she encourages Niko to follow his heart. It's not his fault that he was made a royal ward as a small child, not his fault he was born with royal blood; it would be entirely unfair to force him into the role of a political pawn. The Royal Ward Gem tells the council firmly, shall be free to court and even marry whomever he wishes.
