Username: La Reina
Prince: Michele Rinieri Lorenzo
Consort: Caterina Maria Annunziata
Of the illustrious Royal House of: Manco
In the Principality of: Salvi
There was no doubt, when old and gouty Cipriano Manco died in his sleep, that one of his children would rise to become Prince of Salvi. However, two unexpected things came to light during the next few months: one, that it was in fact Cipriano's younger son Michele who took the role as his elder brother Vico went to become a mercenary lord instead; two, that Michele is determined to take to wife the daughter of a humble falconer who worked in his father's palzzo. Caterina Rossi was never known to be a particularly charming woman, nor an especially beautiful one, but she was shrewd and of a sharp mind. It is apparently this intellect of hers that drew Michele towards her. Likewise, Caterina is unimpressed by Michele's claim to gold, and certainly was not expecting him to be given the principality after his father's death. Instead, what first caught her attention was the way Michele stood by the gates to the palazzo every afternoon, playing his lute in the guise of a common bard. The first time she caught him, he claimed to be enjoying the anonymity and fresh candour in the way people act towards him when they have no idea who he is. But as time goes by, it becomes increasingly apparent that she was becoming the sole reason behind his daily visits to the gates.
By the time Michele and Caterina have their wedding, all of Salvi are forced to accept that neither threats of instability nor promises of gold will dissuade either of them from their marriage. Even Vico, a known charmer when it came to the opposite sex, had to admit that his little brother had found the rare and precious gem that is unconditional love.
Mutatis mutandis. Si non confectus, non reficiat.
