From the Royal House of Cerise
In the Empire of YarrowAfter months of recovery, Faustina was well again but was declared forever weakened by her pregnancy with Princess Adela. The physicians advised Emperor Hugo to abstain from having any more children with her and he unwillingly obliged. The number of children he fathered with his Empress was a safeguard for the royal family, Hugo’s lineage, and, most importantly, the land of Yarrow. This troubled him. “Let us wait, sire,” Faustina had counseled. “Let us wait a year or so to see how strong I will be.” With the pressures of having heirs alleviated temporarily, Hugo and Faustina found that they enjoyed each other’s company greatly and a form of courtship began. Faustina had always thought Hugo chivalrous, noble, and always the gracious host but now she looked upon him more fondly. He was genuinely kind and doting to not only his family but his nation, too. Hugo found Faustina fascinating in her own right. When he first met her, she was mature for a 17 year old young Lady and he could tell she was quite ready to take on the duties of wife and ruler. She still held those qualities but now held something …. more. She was the mother to his daughter-heir and a woman he could see standing next to him during his rule as Emperor of Yarrow. In short, they were falling in love.Two years later and to everyone’s surprise, including the happy couple, Hugo and Faustina announced her second pregnancy. Still weakened from Adela but fairing much better, Faustina delivered, once again, a healthy and strong daughter. “Ondene, after your mother,” Hugo told her when Faustina asked him for a name. Two years after Ondine’s birth, Faustina delivered a son with little to no complications. The physician’s believe that Faustina’s age affected her pregnancies and, like a fine wine, expect better and better offspring as the next few years go by. With two more children (one of which a son) to join the royal family, the people of Yarrow felt secure. “With a strapping boy to rule if his sisters should fail (and we fully expect them to), our bellies will remain forever full and peace shall reign in the land of Yarrow. Hail to the House of Cerise!”
