Gabriel and Rosalie have been quite busy. The news of the discovery of the islands sent Gabriel into a frenzy of writings. His secodn pamphlet, entitled rather simply "Ruminations on the Discovery of the Spice Islands," was radical in its rejection of the idea of joining the race to conquer. Rather, he showed the benefits of waiting, avoiding conflict with Kriana, and then negotiating trade with them. He was against the idea of conquering them all together, as he is opposed to snatching inhabited land from the natives. He is opposed to cruelty of all sorts, and denounces the rush to conquer on priciple. Rosalie's pen has not been idle on the discovery of these islands either, and her collection "The Ship's Departure" is myriad of poems all centering around the departure of the first voyage to the islands. They range from the excited optimisim of a naieve young sailor who later dies at sea to a moving lament of a young woman bidding her lover farewell and her forboding that this will be their last parting. Both pamphlet and poems have offended King Thibault as they are agaisnt his plans to sieze the islands. He has decided that the best way to deal with it, however, is to ignore it as if it is unimportant, and hope that the young upstarts will publish no more.
For the moment, the king is being gratified, as Gabriel and Rosalie are far too absorbed in the arrival of their firstborn, a daughter, to spend time writing now. Violette Nicole Yvonne was born healthy and strong and with a head full of curly dark hair. Her eyes are the exact same blue as her mother's, and Rosalie and Gabriel debate often on whether they will stay that color or not. Violette is universally adored and utterly spoiled by her aunts and Gabriel's parents. They gave her the middle names Nicole after Rosalie's deceased mother and Yvonne after Gabriel's mother. Though she suffered from colic in her first few weeks, she is aa very calm and good baby, and Gabriel and Rosalie are already spending happy hours planning her future and cooing over her. Though they have servants and Gabriel's father hired a nurse for her, neither of them could imagine giving over the care of their child to anyone else.
