Royal Pain
The life of a highborn is not a hard one. Servants do most of the work, the country is ripe for the taking if only your hands are strong enough to rule. Most days one is able to lounge about, because they are above the cares and concerns of the lower classes. Wine is common enough to be served for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and late in the evening when all others have gone off to bed. Or really, at any time at all. A royal does as a royal wishes.
There are things though, which even at the most humble of requests, which a royal could never have. They are hard concepts, difficult for even the utmost important citizens to understand. Pain, suffering, all the difficulties in life will never reach their ears, and they will never know the pain of being without love or fortune.
The year is 1392 in the city of Asellus. The good King Nicoli and his wife, Anne, have been trying to conceive a child for some years after the birth of their son, Marcellus, who is full grown into adulthood. At the age of 24, he is soon to be married, as is his cousin, Audrey Adoire. They are the only living decedents of the old Audoire lineage. If anything were to happen to Marcellus, the King's line would shift to the King's brother, Anton, Audrey's father.
While Audrey is set to marry a nobleman out of another town, Marcellus has still been searching for the perfect wife, the one who'd make his eyes light up, sparkle at a mention of even the ends of her golden hair. A fairy tale ending for the Prince.
A romance has been brewing, a long standing friendship will be tested, and the final fates of the Audoire families will be sealed.
