King: Louis Dieudonné Prosper Léandre [Louis III, Roi des Merteuils] (28)
Queen: Eleanora Bianca Maria Margherita [Éléonore de Sforzatta, Reine des Merteuils] (23)
-DPrincess1: Marguerite Éléonore Johanna Thérèse [Princesse Marguerite, Madame Royale] (2)
-DPrince1: Louis Dieudonné Elio Alphonse [Louis IV, le Grand Dauphin]
From the most noble house of Beausoleil,
In the mighty Kingdom of Merteuil.
There seemed to be an auspicious glow around Eleanora's second pregnancy--she became pregnant relatively easily after Marguerite's birth with no miscarriages. Though a heatwave during the summer of the last months of her pregnancy made her tired and listless, Eleanora was in very good spirits and optimistic that her next child would be the heir that Merteuil was waiting for. As soon as the weather turned cool with the first breezes of autumn, Eleanora went into quick and relatively painless labor. Louis XIV, the Dauphin and heir to the Merteuil throne was born healthy, pink, and squalling, and Eleanora cried tears of joy holding her baby son. Two-year-old Marguerite was also quite fond of her younger brother, taking to patting his head and humming songs to him in the nursery. The King is very pleased, and resolves to spend more time with the wife that had fulfilled her duty to bear him a son.
Soon after Louis' birth, news of scandal in Sforzatta, Eleanora's homeland, reaches the Merteuil court: Eleanora's youngest sister Adelaide, who was just 17 and betrothed to the much older and notoriously ruthless Tsarevitch Constantine of Suvorov, was pregnant--the father was rumored to be the handsome Sforzattan nobleman Niccolo Gattilusio, a notorious playboy. Eleanora immediately writes to her father King Alfonso demanding an explanation of the fate of her sister, who she worries about immensely. Her father sends a curt reply that he has put Adelaide in a convent where he knows she will be taken care of, her fate after that, he knows nor cares not. Eleanora begins to write to Adelaide at the Mincione convent, where she gives birth in secret to a girl, who she names Eleanora. Eleanora even visits Adelaide and her little namesake soon after the baby is born.
When the people of Merteuil get wind of Eleanora's clandestine meeting with her disgraced sister, rumors begin to spread that she is "cut from the same cloth" and is also being disloyal to her husband, the most daring saying with Louis' own younger brother Philippe. Louis knows that his wife is not unfaithful, but forbids her from ever seeing her sister again, although he magnanimously (at least, in his opinion) allows Eleanora to continue to write to her. However, the Merteuil court still treats Eleanora quite coolly, and she finds herself very isolated and lonely, throwing herself into the care of her children.
