Arthur Kirkland is the King of the Kingdom of Spades. Currently, he’s residing in the capitol city, Merica, in the palace of the Spades.
Born five minutes before his younger twin, Alice Kirkland, Arthur was the first son of the new royal couple. His mother, an enlightened Queen, was a woman who with warm embraces and creative stories raised her son to be a man who focused on the lives and happiness of his subjects. His father, a conservative king, rooted doubt into these ideas she shared. As a child, he loved nothing more than to escape the palace life to see for himself the lives of other classes. He enjoyed trips through the forest and towns, paying no mind to the guards that tried to keep him safe. While his father was emotionally distant, the rest of his family made up for it. To Arthur, however, it was his father’s approval that he hoped to win. After his death, Arthur took the throne at the age of 19. He took no interest in looking for a Queen, and since his mother could still fill that position he thought nothing of it. Then, when he was 22, his mother fell victim to a lethal disease, and they were left without a Queen. Seeking council from the Jack, it came to their knowledge that his sister could take the throne and they could work together to rule the kingdom. It was supposed to be a temporary solution yet there is currently no action being taken by the young King to search for a new Queen.
