Dominic: “Now tonight brothers and sisters we are blessed as always to have six magnificent guests -

The eternally young Prince Regent of Meliore, Aries Zonara. 

The youngest candidate for Omiliti in Agora’s history, Vara Servaea.  

Liviana Vici, Textile Expert and researcher at the International School in Imbara.

Fellow fan of the art of oratory, Lavender Lake, host of Deep Takes.

Famarate sensation and regular on the hit show Ostendi!, Brother Emilion. 

Senior writer and correspondent for Salve Sorori, Maria Salacia.

Prince Reagent Aries Zonara, Comi of Aquili

Starting with him because we’ve met him already somewhat. Meliore is a strict matriarchy for their royal house so despite the fact the previous queen had five children, none of them were girls and could not follow their mother onto the throne. There was a lot of discussion about changing the laws but before anyone made a move on that front Prince Aries’ wife gave birth to the current monarch. As it is taboo in the isles for minors to have a public life she is known to her people as “Our Child Queen.” Her name is Calista, she is fifteen now and very tired of her father’s regency. 

Prince Florian Zonara, Comi of Oriens

A gloomy soul from the start, love seemed to be hard to find for poor Prince Florian. As the oldest of his mother’s sons he had many prospects but always found some reason to avoid the final plunge and thus never produced any children. Despite this he is very popular with the people of Meliore as he is well known for his mental health advocacy and compassionate nature. 

Prince Cosimo Zonara, Comi of Auster

Our final Prince Comi for today is Cosimo. He is best known for being one of the hosts of a popular morning talk show called “Bani Mani.” He comes under scrutiny sometimes for not focusing enough of on his public responsibilities in favor of “frivolous celebrity” so often considers stepping down to let one of his younger brothers take his title. 

Lavender: “Like maybe making some babies?!” 

Livia: “OH! Who do you think he would choose out of the girls there? Hypothetically of course!” 

Aries: “Ashra, no question. Of the older girls she is the most sensible and the Prince seems like the type to want a woman with feet firm to the stone.”

Lavender: “Well I heard she was Taking Temple.” 

Dominic: “Very interesting indeed. What do you think Brother? You have been rather quiet in this discussion.” 

Em: “Oh me? Umm… well honestly I really do not care.”

Aries: “You should! A joining of these two families would do a lot to tame resentment on both sides.” 

Em: “A simple answer for a simple problem right?” 

Aries: “I am not saying it will fix everything that troubles us but it would give us all something positive to focus on.” 

Em: “Yeah okay.” 

Aries: “Does that not satisfy you?” 

Dominic: “Salve Sorori and welcome to the conversation! As always here on Reali I, Dominic Vietori, play moderator to an assortment of the isles' most talented young leaders and influencers.” 

Aries: “Who are you calling young? I was on the rolls before you took a breath.”  

Lavender: “You just have a young spirit, your highness.” 

Aries: “Well the tabs do like to claim that I am quite immature.” 

Dominic: “But of course your friends know better.” 

Dominic: “So Maria, do you mind if we start with your reporting this week? There were some real highs and lows for your team.”

Maria: “We really thought we had something with Prince Esai’s movements in Viridis but it seems he just wanted a chance to participate in the memorial before he may not be able to.” 

Aries: “And why exactly would that ever be a problem for him? I know my cousin would never keep him from participating! Never!” 

Vara: “Is it possible he would say that due to time, not because of political reasons?”
