hey!! tysm for the ask nonny 🥺❤ i didn’t know people were invested in my story ahbfhurjen

but to put it short, i’m still around! i had a meh couple of months offline so the motivation to play the sims hasn’t really been there, neither has it been there to check my discord bc at this point i just keep it on in the background.

i should be getting back to posting in a couple of weeks or so, so pls stay tuned! :)

ahh tysm for the ask!! a great way to return from a small hiatus-esque thing!!

The people of Rosewood & Thebene are very.... split on their relationship with most finding it abhorrent, honestly. To begin with they took some amount of pride into it following Landon’s small scandal with his comments and how prestigious the match was given the kingdom’s recent history with their deposed King. Now, however, they find the age gap of eight years between them very disturbing and dislike how royal, advantageous marriages are still being put in place in the modern era. Those that do support it, however, recognise that there’s a need to better R&T’s standing on an international scale but that’s pretty much where the support dies. 

As more things happen - i.e. Henry’s assassination and David being seen with multiple women - the opinion’ll sour further. The match is also harming the monarchy itself as nobody knows who made the match so criticism is being lobbied directly at Rosehall Palace. A tl;dr: the people of Rosewood & Thebene aren’t happy about it overall.

From The Archives: The Princess Rose Attends Imperial Funeral

On the behalf of her brother HM The King, HRH The Princess Rose is in Pierreland to attend the funeral of his late imperial majesty, Henry III. As HIM’s partner, Princess Lily’s attendance was all but confirmed prior to the official photos showing her there.

Her Majesty Has Given Birth!

Rosehall Palace released a statement earlier today confirming the birth of HM The Queen’s fourth child. As many had come to expect, the child was born two months early. Royal doctors have come out and said this is most likely due to rising health concerns with HRH Crown Prince Hades. The statement is as follows;

‘Rosehall Palace is delighted to announce that Her Majesty The Queen has given birth to a healthy daughter at 4:28 AM.

Both the mother and child are in a stable condition and are doing well.’

Behind The Scenes: 3 Years Ago

ahh thank you so much!! i’ve actually given this some thought so i’ll do all that under a read more but, tldr; the united kingdom of rosewood & thebene is harmoniously united and done so through mutual visions of how a country should be run, how a monarchy should behave, their love for their union and in general an isolationist view they’ve both had for centuries!

for a more detailed explanation:

The Royal Oak Lodge, Tarlia Province

[ Approximately two hours before Xenia’s labour announcement. ]

Caspian: You know, nobody suspects us - not in the palace at least. My mother hasn’t said anything and all the gossip of the royal residences find their way to her.

Tilda: I don’t see why they would; you play the role of a doting husband well. Everyone thinks you’re enthralled with Xenia.

Caspian: Don’t say her name here. I am - I love the Queen - but her name shouldn’t be mentioned here. I want us to go back to then, to when we were teens and it was just us.

Tilda: And you think referring to her by her title removes her presence? You think imagining us as teens takes us back there?

Caspian: I... Queen consorts are replaceable. Like, there’s only ever going to be one Caspian I but there’s some many Queen consorts...

Tilda: Who’s to say there won’t only be one Queen Xenia?

Caspian: Is there a reason for bringing up my wife in all of this? You’re choosing a peculiar time to start caring about her. 

Tilda: It’s nothing, it’s just...

Caspian: Is something wrong? Have I done something?

Tilda: Caspian, we’re not the children we once were - you can’t just automatically assume everyone else’s moods are dependent on you. And besides, your wife is pregnant - shouldn't you go back to Rosehall?

Caspian: You always were too kind to me. Maybe you should tell my mother that but the Queen is fine; she has the best doctors Apollo can bless.

Tilda: I.... It’s just -

Caspian: It’s just... what? You know you can tell me anything, right? 

Tilda: We should be more careful.

Caspian: Careful...? What? Why? You said nobody suspects us.

Tilda: And nobody does, not that I know of anyway. Caspian, I... I’m pregnant.

Caspian: Pregnant? With my child?

The Queen Has Gone Into Labour

Rosehall Palace released a statement earlier that HM Queen Xenia has been taken to Apollo’s Royal Infirmary in Willow Creek after her water broke unexpectedly early in the morning. Royal doctors have confirmed that Her Majesty is two months early with the birth. HM The King was unable to attend due to royal engagements within the Tarlia Province but released a statement through Switter that he was on his way to support his wife. Her Majesty was accompanied to the hospital with her mother, Her Grace The Duchess of Knossana, and her sister-in-law, HRH The Princess Rose.

Queen Spotted At Cousin's Ceremony Alone!

HM The Queen was spotted at her father’s residence of Naxeus Palace to attend the coming of age ceremony for her niece Danai Alexatos, The Right Honourable Countess of Cebrione. This is the first time that Her Majesty has been seen following the announcement of her pregnancy with her fourth child. Interestingly enough - and onlookers were quick to realise - HM The King was not there to accompany his wife to the event. Although coming of age ceremonies are rooted deep within Thebenian tradition and thus Rosewoodians tend to make themselves scarce, it has been reported on multiple occasion of the good relationship The King has with his in-laws. Netizens’ speculation has gone anywhere from concluding that His Majesty was more than likely busy to prospects of an affair. Rosehall Palace has yet to comment on these speculations and rumours, though HM The Dowager Queen has released a statement through Artemidora House dispelling these rumours as ‘nonsense.’

Rosehall Palace Releases Royal Family Portrait

Rosehall Palace has released a portrait of the royal family to celebrate their reunion as a family of four. The portrait confirms that HM The Dowager Queen will be taking a lesser role as her son grows his family and becomes more comfortable as King. Many speculate that the exclusion of HRH The Princess Rose is a sign that the relationship to HIM David I of Pierreland is going well.

Many netizens took to social media to commend the family on how healthy they all look and that they wish HM The King reigns for a long time, steady and stable following his father.
