With the war looming overhead, canon and trebuchet fire streaking through the sky, the recently married Queen fought nonetheless. The war had been on her doorstep now, the Covenant attacking the traitors of Stassion from her own home soil. The Petrans stood at the edge of their territory, looking out at a keep that they used to rule. And now they would turn it to ash.

 

She had refused to step back, to stay home despite her state- though her own Mothers fate did not escape her thoughts. Princess Winifred, Catherine I’s mother, had died for Catherine and her twin, Marcus. Catherine could only hope that it wouldn’t be repeated during war. As the Petrans returned to Vallagne, victorious, Catherine Knighted her squires and then felt the consequences of her actions. Too early, did the Queen go into labour, and the fear she felt was far stronger than during any of the battles she had faced thus far.

The Queen and Prince of Abrana are pleased to announce the birth of their first two children, a girl and a boy both small but healthy. They wish to make clear that the succession of the Commonwealth is selective, and that neither child is to be named heir at the moment - the Archduchy of Vallagne shall remain as Prince Marcus Antonius, the Queen’s brother. The royal family is happy to introduce to the citizens of the Petra, and those of the Covenant;

 

Her Highness, Princess Rowena Ivanna, Countess of Clermont @carebear

His Highness, Prince Aurelius Arnaud, Count of the Phoenixspire @Kaii

"Those little ones are war veterans," Lady Angelina chuckles, as she organizes some flowers to be sent to the new mother. "Someone knight them."

The wounded Prince Marcus read the missive from his chambers, producing a low sigh.

"Congratulations, sister," he remarked, mustering a pained smile.

Sybille I, Queen of Balian would grin as her fellow Queen bears twin children. As such she would set about finding the best gifts she possibly could for both of the children!

Prince Paul Alexander of the Petra looked upon the missive as a lonesome tear fell from his eye,

 

“She is nol longer the little Catriona I once watched from the sidelines — children of her own?!”

 

The Duke of Valfleur rolled his shoulders in his Royal apartment at the Palace as he onlooked blueprints of Courteis Hale and lifts a finger up towards a nearby attendant “Such wonderful names.” proffered the Prince, “Bring mo the oldest craft from the cellars, tonight; we celebrate the birth of mo great niece and nephew Prince Aurelius and Princess Rowena.”
