[Games] Re: Britt's Royal Congrats Round 4 & question
in reply to a message by britto08
(I'm going to have the King and Queen take in Eleanora's niece, but they're not going to legally adopt her and since she is already named after Eleanora, it won't exactly follow your rules. Is that all right?)
King: Louis Dieudonné Prosper Léandre [Louis III, Roi des Merteuils] (32)
Queen: Eleanora Bianca Maria Margherita [Éléonore de Sforzatta, Reine des Merteuils] (27)
-DPrincess1: Marguerite Éléonore Johanna Thérèse [Princess Marguerite, Madame Royale] (6)
-DPrince1: Louis Dieudonné Elio Alphonse [Louis IV, le Grand Dauphin] (4)
-DPrincess2/DPrince2: Victoire Clotilde Élisabeth Melania / Adrien Innocenzo Stéphane Nicolas [Princesse Victoire, Fille de Merteuil/Prince Adrien, Fils de Merteuil] (1)
-DNiece: Eleanora Alfonsina "Eléa" [Madamoiselle Alphonsine] (3)
Just a year after the twins are born, Eleanora receives some devastating news: after a sudden illness, her sister Adelaide had died, leaving behind her three-year-old daughter that had caused so much scandal. A strong-willed, spirited child, the nuns at the Mincione convent were not sure they could handle the little motherless child, so Eleanora appeals to Louis to allow her to take little Eleanora in and raise her, knowing that this is what Adelaide would've wanted. Louis is quite hesitant about this, knowing the scandal that Adelaide's daughter had caused, but finally gives in because he loves his wife deeply, but on two conditions--that she would not be named a Princess and Fille de Merteul, and that her origins be kept a secret from the public. Eleanora agrees, and travels to collect little Eleanora.
A few weeks later, a royal decree is made that the King and Queen had magnanimously taken in a young orphaned relative of the Queen--Little Eleanora was referred to as Madamoiselle Alphonsine, the French form of her middle name, so as to conceal her ignoble origins. However, she is referred to as Eléa by her aunt and the few close members of the palace staff who knew her true identity, and she adjusts beautifully. Marguerite is especially pleased to have another girl in the palace, especially one she can actually play with.

It's fine
I'm not rigidly enforcing this, just providing a framework. Great story, by the way.
