Help[Games] Re: KUY Royal Congrats Round 1
in reply to a message by britto08
UN: Weirwood
Emperor: Oberon Luc Valenti Grimes (31)
Empress: Vivian Aurelian Kala Stefanis Grimes (25)
Duchess: Arushi Augusta Stefanis Valenti Grimes (newborn)
Of the Royal House of Valenti, in the Empire of Ascent.
Oberon and Vivian's relationship took on interesting dynamics as time went on. They got along well and collaborated in much imperial business; Vivian's wit, charm and reputation helped immensely during negotiations with any warring corporations or machinating politicians. Oberon realized that he was quickly falling in love with his new wife. Vivian admired Oberon and enjoyed his company, and took on the role of a loving wife as well as a loyal friend. Nonetheless, only a few months after Oberon took the throne, Vivian discovered she was pregnant. This was not something she felt she was ready for – motherhood had never been high on her list of goals, though of course becoming empress had changed what was expected of her. She still felt very young and The councillors and the imperial families, though, were both thrilled by the news. Oberon himself was likewise quietly excited to become a father, though he did worry the change would be overwhelming when he was still so new to his duties as emperor.
The pregnancy and birth all went smoothly, though, and Vivian bore a daughter, christened Arushi Augusta Stefanis Valenti Grimes. Arushi, meaning "bright," symbolized the hope that she brought to the empire's future. Augusta was in honour of Oberon's father, Augustine, and Stefanis, of course, honoured Vivian and her noble family. The emperor and empress fell in love with their new daughter and became devoted to giving her a rich, loving upbringing that would help her become a smart, strong and just player in Ascent's political world. Women did not often take the helm in Ascent, unless they had no brothers, but a female heir would still be expected to take some place of great prestige in the Ascendant hierarchy. The empire's citizens all celebrated the young Duchess In the months after Ru's birth, though, discord sprung up in the young family. Rumours were rumbling that Vivian's involvement in politics was giving her too strong a voice, that she could be manipulating Oberon to act in the interests of the Stefanis family or some other faction, and that her involvement would be detrimental to the Duchess's development. In such a conflict-ridden society, rumours like these spring up all the time, and of course they were completely unfounded, but they could make the new empire shaky. Under pressure from all sides, Oberon lashed out at Vivian and essentially told her he agreed with the hurtful rumours. Vivian was deeply hurt, and while she retreated into caring for Arushi, Oberon forced himself to focus all his time on the imperial work at hand, uniting some outlying colonies under the empire's banner. His councillors, though they respected Vivian and did not agree with the rumours, were aware of the power the accusations could have, so they supported Oberon's decision for the moment, urging caution at this time in his rule. Oberon, however, soon realized his mistakes and their long-term consequences for the empire, and begged Vivian to accept his apologies. After a long talk she did, and Oberon took a renewed interest in spending time with his wife and daughter, and supporting Vivian wholeheartedly in her roles of both motherhood and politics equally.
