Three years ago Queen Theophania died at 87. She had been one of the key personalities in both politics and the grandmother of the Featherstone family. She had helped keep the peace between Alphonso and Apollo and Alphonso and Callista. She also brought dignity and tradition to public appearances of the royal family. Alphonso has found it useful to have his Uncle Ansel around to help with public appearances since the death of his mother.
Meanwhile Alphonso and Callista are fighting. Callista is upset that most of her children stand to inherit some, but not that much of the estate, as most of it goes to Apollo. She is worried her children will not have enough to thrive, particularly her sons, as her girls will marry. She would like to purchase estates and titles in the kingdom, which Alphonso says he will probably do when they marry. This is not good enough for Callista and she continues to worry. Alphonso isn't worried and wants more children. The lack of definite futures for their children makes Callista not want to have more kids.
Prince Apollo is next in-line in the royal family. He and the Empress Anushka have welcomed 3 children. The kingdoms of Northwood and Cloudhill are debating their futures since Prince Apollo's and Empress Anuska's kids are in the direct line for the throne of both countries. There are two possibilities: one is that Prince Armel will unite the countries into a single monarchy. The other is that Prince Armel will be King of Northwood and Princess Alena will inherit Cloudhill since daughters (and women) are not skipped over in Cloudhill.
