Regal Games

[WSA 2024 Entry] Everyone is playing a regal game. Everyone except Lucia (who probably should). After her father faced accusations of trying to seize the throne from his father and king, he was exiled along with his family. They were no longer royalty, but his wife would not have it. She was friends with the queen of Vershia and used that to her advantage. Her two older daughters were the right age to marry the two princes, and she would make that happen come what may. That became a problem when the oldest daughter was ignored by the crown prince, who formed a friendship with the youngest of the girls. There was still hope; Lucia could become the future queen. But Lucia was not groomed for this role. She did not want to live for the type of marriage she could snag. She did not want to take the man who had been planned for her sister. But that’s the thing with plans, isn’t it? She never planned to fall in love with the man, and there she was: an unwilling participant in the regal games. Would she capture the crown? How would everything affect her relationship with her sister? Was there ever pleasing her mother?

King Gabriel

At the end of the engagement party, Lucia was surprised that her family was sleeping in the palace that night. It was not as if they were going to drive home, given the concern about drinking and driving. The king of Siambi and his wife were also staying in the palace. Lucia could not help but feel that this was related to her father and Rhodes. She was not wrong. But she did not know that. It was a good guess.

Ultimately, it did not matter what she did or did not know because the next morning, when the meeting took place, it was without her. Her sister, Adela, was there. The king of Siambi was not happy about that at first, citing that Dominique had now only his wife and his heir present, and one more person was far too much of an ambush for his liking.

Gustav had shut that down by saying that Adela was there solely as his wife. She was present not as the daughter of Prince Dominic Handhoff of Rhodes but as the future queen of Myia.
